Huck's Weekend Forecast
2009

Return to TedSilary.com Home Page

   In this space every Thursday, I am predicting final scores for every game involving city-leagues teams. The picks are divided into three sections -- 1.) Huck's Gems. 2.) Best of the Rest. 3.) Others.
   I am predicting a final score on every game, and giving a brief opinion on each game in Huck's Gems. I will post total and individual category records of my selections.
   ---- Ed "Huck" Palmer . . . teddycat10@aol.com


MISSION STATEMENT
   My primary focus here is not to just make predictions, but to have high school football fans get a look at some of the more interesting and compelling games going around on the city for that weekend. Huck's Gems won't always pit the best teams versus one another.  On many occasions, teams may not be as talented as some of the upper echelon teams, but nonetheless go out and produce some of the more enjoyable moments of the football season. For example, a Huck's Gem might include teams or team that feature a neighborhood rivalry, a dynamic offense, a bone-crunching defense, or a team who has an individual player who can create magic whenever he touches the ball. Please don't take exception if I happen to pick against your team one weekend. Remember this is all in fun. However, feedback is always welcomed.
---- Thank you, Ed "Huck" Palmer

WEEK FOUR
  NOTES: Big weekend for the Huckster! Enough said!! Actually, it really is quite comical watching Pucklehead squirm with so much of the season still left. It appears that he may be on the verge of aborting his ever-popular; let-me-read-Huck’s-mind while I make MY OWN picks theory. Which of course is absolutely pathetic, but are we to expect normal behavior from the certifiable one. Furthermore, this bizarre nature definitely allows him to earn his newest moniker – Absolute Weasel! As for Willie, well, I’ll just steal a line from my second favorite movie ever, Godfather II. “Small potatoes” – Hyman Roth.

WEEK TWO
  NOTES:
Well, it’s only been two weeks, but Puck is still the biggest weasel of my picking counterparts. You just got to love the nightly calls as he tries a little P&P special (Pucklehead Psychology) on me. You know, planting seeds, trying to sway my picks, intentionally leaving a couple of picks blank, then trying to see who I’m leaning towards. C’mon Puck. You can do better than that. Once again he admitted it to me the other night. He makes a good percentage of his selections based on what he thinks I’m going to do, not what he thinks. Absolute weasel!

WEEK ONE
  NOTES: Ok, first order of business. I want to apologize in advanced to the legion of local media types whose lives will most certainly be impacted by the arrival of Big Willie Style. Word of advice – Change your cell numbers! Not only will Pucklehead be beating down your doors, but BWS is sure to do the same. When Ted asked me about this new partnership I welcomed it with open arms. Why not, right? Yes, on the surface it might appear to be a no-win situation for yours truly. However, I look at it a little differently. My struggles against Captain Hammerhead have been well chronicled. He has bested me 4 years running. What a better way to throw him off my scent? Bring in a third party. A third party that is equally as effective in pestering and distracting. Brilliant strategy I might say. I’ll manipulate this situation so much that they’ll be at each other’s throats on a weekly basis. It will be a HBO show by week 6. Guaranteed! In closing, I want to wish my two lesser lights the best of luck. But be mindful that I plan on come roaring back in the 2009 season.
  update!! -- on Thursday night, Will sent Huck a text from the Linc. "Only I could run into Puck at a Temple game." Puck isn't part of the cell-phone generation yet -- hell, he stills the Internet "the webline" -- or he would have sent this to Huck. "Yo, cwazy Willie heah. Why he at college game?"
