Cheer's from Italy


Hello Everyone!

So I figured I’d hope on a time machine to 2004 and create a blog. In these post to follow I will discuss everything from Football, Life in Italy, Gambling, Whiskey, America, TV, Movies, and especially Wells Fargo. Those Bastards.

This past week in Florence was a dozy. Achieved the high rank of a 65 on my Italian quiz, totally worth the 5 hours of studying and stress. Basically what I should have written was speak a engrish, and I might have achieved the same grade.

It’s football Sunday, the best time of the year. Living in Florence on Sunday is like waiting till 12 in the afternoon to open your Christmas presents on Christmas day. Waiting till 7 pm is painful for the 1 pm American start. I can already taste the wings, and beer. It’s the best day of the week, AKA American Day. The Jets this week have a tough matchup, San Francisco. The loss of Revis is going to be a thorn in our side this whole season. Every year it seems our untouchable secondary is faced with a torn ACL.  However I think we will hold our own against the very average Alex Smith.

Picks for the week.

Atlanta over Carolina- Watch out Turners back!
Patriots over Buffalo- Hate them, but no way they drop to 1-3
Lions over Vikings- Lesson learned, take points whenever you can
Texans over Tennessee- Chris Johnson 45 rushing yards in 3 games, I could do that.
San Diego over KC- Matthews is back and it will show.
San Fran over the Jets- Depressing, but true. McNight will get lit up at CB
Seattle over St. Louis- No replacement refs, no problem cause they are playing St. Louis.
Arizona over Miami- 3-0, becomes 4-0 and the surprise of the year
Denver over Oakland- Manning will rebound after a tough loss.
Bengals over Jags- Even 10 MJD’S couldn’t fix the problem of Gabbert.
Packers over Saints- Tough match up, but that call might have woken up a sleeping giant
Washington over Tampa Bay- RGIII all day all night
Giants over Eagles- Andre Brown will shine once Bradshaw, can’t wait to watch at 2 am
Dallas over Chicago- Dez for Day’s with a hurt Forte

In Fantasy Football land, here are a few thought’s. One I will crush Nick Dibartolo, just like last year. Pickups of the week. Jeremy Kerley. Watch out for this guy, him and Powell will change things up for the REAL NY team. Also, Andre Brown will become the Giants starter in the weeks to come. Unless Bradshaw goes back to pop warner and learns to follow his blockers and hit the hole he will loose his starting spot.

MLB notes, ST. Louis will make a run again, and watching the Yankee’s loose this division lead is painful.

Side note, I can't spell I know that. 

Big up’s and Respect.
