Isis oh Isis you mystical child
What drives me to you is what drives me insane
– Bob Dylan

These week 2 NFL picks are worried about members of ISIS playing in the NFL. Most likely, they are running backs. And there is good chance they play for the Baltimore Ravens.
As President Obama said recently, you can’t erase every trace of evil from the world. But we must be vigilant because these NFL players are unique in their brutality.
Oh, he was talking about ISIS, not NFL players. Actually, he calls them ISIL. And the NFL calls their abusers role models. You say tomato, and I say holy crap!

e want to change the name of the Redskins? Hell change all the names. Who you got this week: the Baltimore Wife Beaters or the Minnesota Child Abusers? Personally, I still love the New England Murderers.
Seriously, NFL, it’s time to create a new award: The OJ Simpson Trophy.
The President said America needs to degrade and destroy the enemy with a comprehensive and sustained strategy. That may work overseas, but it would never work in the NFL Much too powerful.
All terrorists know one thing: barbarism sells. That’s what happens, what happened, and, unfortunately, that’s whatzgonnahappen.

SAINTS AT BROWNS – Once upon a time, Kurt Warner bagged groceries, and Tom Brady was a sixth round draft pick. Yes, that’s the kind of journeyman Brian Hoyer is. He’s dialed in now, and outplays the great Drew Brees, who Johnny Manziel says is too short. Browns 31, Saints 29

RAMS AT BUCCANEERS – This game will matter a lot when the NFL draft is held. Rams 10, Buccaneers 9
JETS AT PACKERS – The Packers offense struggled against Seattle’s defense. The Jets defense will not cause any problems. Packers 35, Jets 25
