Scott Feschuk and Scott Reid<\/a> like different results in this week’s matchup between Minnesota and Buffalo:<\/p>\n

\n

Buffalo (plus 6.5) at Minnesota<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feschuk<\/strong>: So Buffalo\u2019s Steve Johnson butterfingered a game-winning pass against the Steelers and, naturally, rushed to Twitter to blame it all on God.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Good for Johnson. It\u2019s about time someone had the courage to call out God for the terrible season He\u2019s having. Dude is the Randy Moss of deities — totally going through the motions. Come on, God: we\u2019ve seen you torment the Bills and Lions for the last eon. TRY SOMETHING NEW. And what were you thinking when you let Satan get away with working his evil magic so that both Matt Millen and Joe Theismann are calling the Thursday night games? Not cool, God. Not cool at all. Pick: Buffalo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reid<\/strong>: You mean God isn\u2019t a Buffalo fan? This IS news!<\/p>\n

Pick: Minnesota.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Feschuk also has an excellent question that the league hasn’t yet answered:<\/p>\n

\n

The league\u2019s ruling on Andre Johnson warrants a revisiting of what occurred on the field. Responding to the trash talk and rough play of Cortland Finnegan — the only NFL player whose name sounds like an Irish hotel chain — the Texans\u2019 receiver ripped off Finnegan\u2019s helmet and punched him repeatedly in the head and face.<\/p>\n

Johnson\u2019s punishment? The exact same fine that Chad Ochocinco had to pay for tweeting too close to game time. It raises the question: what do you have to do to get suspended by the NFL? Do you have to actually murder a linebacker? Defile the corpse of a Hall of Famer? Fail to gently lower Tom Brady to the ground and tenderly kiss him on the forehead while sacking him?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
