NFL Haikus: 2008

A couple of years ago I started a similar thread, the gist of which was to be a punishment for myself – for each game I picked wrong, I had to write a haiku lamenting my poor decision. Time to bring the pain back again.

Feel free to join in…either in the same, lamenting style I’ll be showcasing, or to throw in any NFL-related haiku you wish. And now, the kickoff:

I didn’t do too badly…Week 1 is always a trick, since teams haven’t really shown you much in the preseason. All in all, I can’t complain a bit about going 12-of-16. Oh, those four misses though…

DET over ATL
“Lions are a lock!”
Ryan lets fly, Turner burns.
Friends say “You’re lyin’”.

SD over CAR
I told all my friends:
“Pick the Panthers, they will win!”
Ignored my advice.

IND over CHI
Bears over the Colts??
Who would’ve seen that coming?
Ground game Bears’ forté.

MIN over GB
Tarvaris was hyped
To be Vick’s second coming.
Going to the dogs.

The Pittsburgh Steelers
Going to the Super Bowl
Half-dozen trophies

Oh those damn Redskins
Every year the same old thing
What a waste of cash.

Brett Favre still has it;
Aaron Rodgers has it too.
All’s well that ends well.

DET over ATL
Seemed like a safe bet
Who thought the Falcons had guts?
Lost my pool by one

That reminds me…a DET over ATL bonus:

A suicide pool
Top prize of a hundred grand
<Sigh>…out in week one

Down at the strip club
Adam Jones whips out C-notes
(Don’t call him “Pac-man”)

Dallas wins game one
Beat the Browns by eighteen points
How 'bout them Cowboys?

BUF vs SEA, Week 1
Punter throws for score
Kicker recovers fumble
Buffalo Bills win.

Baltimore Ravens
Why must you get my hopes up?
Please don’t fall apart

Vikings at Lambeau
Rodgers kicked their ass
Bummer, DtC

Peyton was pissed off
Colts don’t look too good right now
Will Indy collapse?

Whoops, I screwed that up
Forgot to count to seven
In the Pack haiku

Vikings at Lambeau
Rodgers really kicked their ass
Bummer, DtC
:smiley:

Romeo Crennel
How to handle three score trail?
4th and 3 field goal

Work suicide pool
One third eliminated
Colts and Chargers lose

Ravens beat Bengals
Rookie quarterback does well
But the D is gold
