8-0: "The Sports Guy" Bill Simmons is, like the Brandeis football team, "still undefeated" in his picks thus far in the NFL playoffs. I'm sure Simmons would trade in the chance at a perfect record for another Super Bowl win by his beloved Pats, but even more excited, I'm sure, is my friend Brian, a Patriots employee who will get a Super Bowl ring if New England does in fact win it all.
UPDATE: Just kidding! I misread the pointspreads, and it turns out Simmons failed to cover on two games last weekend. That's why I get for never betting on sports, although at least this way I'll never be banned from baseball.
