Didn't pass... I was nervous and therefore made some of my turns too sharp, and was shaking the wheel a little bit. I did great on parallel parking though. My next try is on June 26.

I was able to pass my driving test the first time despite totally screwing up the parallel parking and running a red light.

I went 1-3 on predictions last week. 

Here are my predictions:

Eagles 31 
Cardinals 24 - The Cardinals defense will finally get exposed and the Eagles defense will do a good job of putting pressure on Warner which should result in a couple of turnovers.

Ravens 9
Steelers 14 - Both defenses are great but Pittsburgh is better offensively.  The Steelers won't have as many turnovers as the Titans or Dolphins so the Ravens will have a very hard time scoring.

Prices here two weeks ago were at $1.49.  Now they're at $1.93.

Well, I went 3-1 last week in predicting winners, so that's not too bad.  Arizona surprised me with how well their defense played.  Here are my predictions for the divisional round:

Baltimore 13
Tennessee 20

Arizona 24
Carolina 28

Philadelphia 20
NY Giants 27

San Diego 17
Pittsburgh 27

The Ford family has experience in running a well-organized, well-managed multi-national organization without any trouble.  I don't see how they couldn't turn it around.

Oh wait....

You don't need to tell me how much of a joke Ford is.   

Anyways, here are my 1st round predictions,

Atlanta 27
Arizona 21

Philadelphia 38
Minnesota 13

Baltimore 20
Miami 17

Indianapolis 31
San Diego 35 (I smell an upset here)

I think the Eagles are gonna kill the Vikings this weekend.

It's been a tough year for sports here in Michigan.  The Wolverines (football) posted their worst record in its 129 year history.  The Tigers, a team that was expected to compete for the World Series, end up finishing last in the division (yeah, behind the Royals), and so far have done nothing to improve.  The Pistons are in definite decline.  I think that's all the teams... oh wait, I almost forgot.  THE LIONS.  All the Lions did was post the worst record in NFL history by becoming the first team to ever go 0-16.  I mean, the Lion's have always been bad, but now with this historic feat, the whole world gets to know just how retched this franchise really is.    Now despite all of that failure and ineptitude, there is one team here that stands above the rest.  The Red Wings continue its high standard of excellence year in and year out, and is the lone team that people around here can be proud of.

I haven't contributed anything in a while now.  I also haven't watched TWC in a long time as well, so I thought if I'm going to watch TWC, I might as well record a couple of LF's.

Drew Carey's reaction was terrible.  You'd think if somebody guessed the EXACT price that there would be a little more enthusiasm.

No offense Eric, but over the last few years I've begun to wonder why they keep showing the Lions on Thanksgiving. I realize its a tradition, but right now they really aren't anything to see. 

I agree.  I think the NFL should take the Thanksgiving game away from the Lions.  I'm sure there are plenty of more deserving teams that would love be in the spotlight on Thanksgiving.  Why should Lions keep getting that game (aside from silly tradition)?

Actually, with the game they had on Sunday, i think that the Lions should've won the Bucs game.

Yeah, the Lions played great in the first 15 minutes.  Then the Bucs woke up and outscored the Lions 38-3 the rest of the game.
