I know I should write about Thierry Henry at some point. But how do you write about your hero after
he cheats to win and gets away with it.

International breaks are so much fun. You don't need Thierry Henry using his hand to tell me that
Robin Van Persie getting hurt doesn't make international breaks worth it. I know we're supposed to
embrace our nationalistic ideals and scream...

This is normally where you'd find a clever introduction to this week's picks. Or I'd wax poetic
about important things in my life. Yep, that's usually what you'd find here. On to the picks:

November 4, 2008. One year ago today. A day with such historic national and worldwide significance
that it will never be forgotten - plus a day that added so much to my own personal life that I will
never be...

It's tough getting old. Any of you that are old already know this and don't need me reminding you.
Some of you (those under 30) are probably laughing saying it won't happen to you. And some of you
might keep...

There are some weeks where the picks fall into place, and some when they don't. Then there are
weeks like this past one, where it just gets ugly. Only five people even scored double-digits on
the week as Stoke City...

The story of the week was about a balloon - no, not that staged reality TV wannabe stuff out of
Colorado - but a red Liverpool balloon, errr beach ball, that Pepe Reina couldn't deflate and then
tried to save...

I'm a huge Howard Stern fan. I have been since that fateful day in 1994 when I first heard him on
the radio in Miami. It was instant my attraction to the show and I have listened to him in...

If you think back, you can almost remember what happened the last time the English Premier League
played. Yes, I know it hasn't even been a week since the last match but it seems like an eternity
to me. Don't...

There aren't many weekends I don't watch a ton of football. From early Saturday to late Sunday,
chances are I'll be watching a game live or recorded. Part of that was ruined last week when my
darling two-and-a-half-year-old broke my...

If you made picks this week, chances are your average went up. But if you made picks this week, you
also were likely kept from perfection by the big wins by Blackburn, Bolton and Wigan. The Latics
had the biggest...

As I try to figure out how I'm going to fit everything going on in my life into my life, I realize
that I am not about to skip EPL matches. Here are my picks for the weekend. Saturday, September...

On a weekend that saw Manchester United and Chelsea show they are still strong memebers in the big
four - and that Manchester City and Tottenham might not be there yet - the leaders in The Other
Table contest improved...

I like making picks. It's the one time each week that I think I might know what I'm talking about.
I don't of course and by Sunday afternoon I'm picking up the pieces of my shattered ego and trying
to...

If you didn't get a chance to see gafferjr's picks last week, where he took a Beatles line for
every pick, I highly suggest you take a look - they were that good. But it make me realize that

My brother has had my brain racing since last week when he asked - What are your top 5 all-time
Beatles Songs? Of course he knows my love of Top 5 lists - and The Beatles are the best music...

I love you guys. I mean that. I ask for spreadsheet help and you guys helped me out greatly. Now,
to show my thanks, I'll let you kick my butt in picks for another week. 'The Other Table' is our...

Tomorrow I will return to the Orlando Sentinel offices for the first time in almost two weeks. In
my working life, it's the longest vacation I've ever taken. And while those that know me realize, I
wasn't work free over...

If you're a reader of this blog - and a participant in 'The Other Table" pick 'em contest - then
you love your football. This weekend you'll be able to watch all 10 EPL matches - with a little
help...

Believe it or not, nobody picked Burnley to defeat Manchester United in our picks contest "The
Other Table". I kid, I didn't really expect it to happen, no matter how much some of my readers
might hate the Red Devils....

I shouldn't be ready to resort to gimmick ways to pick this early, but it was tempting after the
start that I had. Will I find mid-week redemption? We'll find out soon enough. Here are my picks
for the mid-week:...

I watch a lot of football. An insane amount. I guess that doesn't make me much of a prognosticator
when it comes to picking Premier League matches. I got four matches right - and none spot on.
Meanwhile, Robin2nd got...

No, not the wicked witch from that Jon and Kate show that it taking away valuable tabloid time from

While the bottom of the table battles left us less than excited, the top of our table came through
with Dava McCamm making up huge ground on Kate only to see her pull away with a monster week too.

It probably didn't hurt that Manchester United and Chelsea are involved in the mix - but all three
games involving potential drop teams - Hull City vs. Man. United, Sunderland vs. Chelsea and Aston
Villa vs. Newcastle United (sorry Middlesbrough)...

Yes, we know the top of the Premier League is set - Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and
Arsenal in that order. West Brom is down and Middlesbrough is likely joining them - leaving
Sunderland, Hull City and Newcastle United to...

Tottenham teased us for a half - so did Wigan Athletic. Truth is, Manchester United haven't looked
like the best club in the world (which they very well may be) down the stretch, but the reason
they'll win the title...

Finally got around to updating the past two weeks of results and the table looks the same. Kate
looks poised to pull of the points per game win in her debut campaign, while Dava McCamm won't
likely be caught in...

I don't even know the day that much anymore. So you can imagine my dismay when I woke up and
realized it was Friday and I hadn't even started working on picks yet. While I'm working on mine,

Thank goodness that Barcelona finally found the back of the net so we could get a dream Champions
League final between the two best clubs in the world. In the meantime, Man United look ready to
lock up the EPL...

With four weeks to play, our table is still tight at the top with Kate holding a narrow lead over
