Fake Game # 5

Thank God that's over. No more fake football. Now the kids will spend the next week weighing in with all their prognosticating and what not... including this site.. which is generally one of your more reliable "contrary indicators".. but more on that later. For now, here's what we learned last night:

• If the Saints find themselves in a position this season where Tyler Palko has to play, we know things will have gone horribly wrong already. But I wonder why Coach Soupy, who had to pick from three young QBs to fill the role of clipboard boy this season, went with the least composed of the three. Palko looks lost and panicky out there. I know he's young but.. it should be more apparent just what it is they see in him.



• Uh oh the kicker sucks. This will figure into our final prediction.

Meanwhile in actual football, LSU managed to pull off the rare feet of winning 45-0 and looking really crappy in the doing so. But I guess seven takeaways can do that for you.
