Denver Broncos Cheerleader Reenee Herlocker.‘What you gonna do when things go wrong? What you gonna do when it all cracks up? What you gonna do when the Love burns down? What you gonna do when the flames go up?Who is gonna come and turn the tide? What's it gonna take to make a dream survive? Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside? Who's gonna save you? Alive and Kicking’! (Classic song lyrics by the ‘SIMPLE MINDS’ from the song Alive and Kicking’ from their phenomenal cd ‘Once Upon A Time’) Hear ‘Alive And Kicking’ at http://sportsblogbybubb.podomatic.com (Also check out their classics ‘All The Things She Said ’, ‘Sanctify Yourself’ and ‘Ghost Dancing’) Once Upon a Time, featuring producer Jimmy Iovine (U2, Stevie Nicks, Bruce Springsteen), showcased more of a guitar-driven sound. ‘Simple Minds' popularity was expounded on songs such as Alive & Kicking" and "Sanctify Yourself." This album was one of their best, most likely leading the pack in the band's album roster, because it exuded raw energy and solid composition not entirely captured on previous albums. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music GuideNFL Week 16 had to be one of the most unbelievable weeks of the season thus far. Let me elaborate: For the 1st time in franchise history, the Houston Texans beat the Colts. The Ravens beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh for the 1st time since 2001, knocking them out of the playoff hunt. The usual can’t win in Cold Weather team, Tampa Bay Bucs beat the Browns in Cold weather Cleveland. The Panthers still beat the Falcons despite quarterback Chris Weinke’s 32 yards passing. The Seattle Seahawks lost their 3rd game in a row, 4 out of their last 6 and still won the division last week, since Arizona knocked the 49ers out of the playoff picture. Actually Arizona has the best record within their division with a 5 – 10 overall record. What? Shows you how terrible the NFC West is! The Giants lost 6 out of their last 7 games and they’re actually still ‘Alive And Kicking’ in the playoff hunt. Huh?Turns out these games I mentioned above are also the majority of the picks I got wrong last week. After the way I picked in NFL Week 16, it’s unfortunate that I’m still ‘Alive And Kicking’ as well. Just kidding? No I’m not, yes I am! I was 6 and 10 overall in my Picks last week and I’m still writing this NFL blog? Kind of sounds like the Giants and Seahawks, doesn’t it? Now you know why I post Cheerleader photos and Music with my newsletters! Hopefully, I can redeem and ‘Sanctify’ myself (Simple Minds) for NFL Week 17 with the following picks.I Will Not pick the Detroit Lions over the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys should be able to get back on track against this pitiful opponent, especially at Home. The Cowboys will not lose 2 in a row at home. Will they? I also Will Not pick Atlanta over Philadelphia! GOODBYE! Jim Mora! Hope you get that phone call you always wanted from the Washington Huskies! Go ‘Back To School’ (Rodney Dangerfield). My BOLD Fake – Out for NFL week 17 is the Washington Redskins over the New York Giants 20 -19. Actually I should probably not even call this BOLD, anymore, the way the Giants are playing. GOODBYE to you too Tom Coughlin! Playoffs or not? My Bonus Fake – Out is the Carolina Panthers over the Saints 21 – 20. Two strange teams here, the Panthers seem to play better on the Road, and so do the Saints. My Bonus - LOCK this week is the New York Jets over the Raiders 27 – 13. My 50 – 50’s are the Texans over the Browns 23 -20 and the Bengals over the Steelers 30 – 27.And now since this next team will still be ‘Alive And Kicking’ after this Sunday, right into the Playoffs, my Stone Cold Lead Pipe Lock for NFL Week 17 is the: DENVER BRONCOS over the San Francisco 49ers 27 – 16 (the 49ers are 3 – 12 in their past 15 games against the AFC)PS.
