I promise I haven't given up on posting. This is just the first day off I've had in the last 12 days, and I've been working 12-hour shifts for the past week (including last weekend) supporting the new Cerner.com that my team just rolled out.

But now that no one probably checks this site anymore, assuming I've pulled an Aaron Beckerman and dropped off the face of the Earth, I figured it's a good time to return. So much has happened since the last time I posted, like the Patriots advancing to the Super Bowl again and our illustrious president saying that the State of our Union is kick ass, rock rock on!

As someone whose only source of news for the past week is the Daily Show and PTI, I can't really comment on the election in Iraq (or even the latest episode of the OC, the even-less-tivo-like-device is quite backed up), but I can do my final NFL pick of the year.

NE vs. PHI: Despite the loudmouth Eagles and the constant updates on the state of Terrell Owens' ankle ("has screws in it") and dispatches from Freddie Mitchell-land ("I'm a first-round bust with 20 catches this year, look at me look at me!"), the Patriots will once again take home the title. Not because their coach is a genius or becuase they're a dynasty, just because they actually seem like they're more interested in playing the game than getting endorsement deals. NE
