When the President of the United States talks, people listen, so when Barack Obama let it slip he thought perma-douche Kanye West was a “Jackass” after his Cognac-driven diatribe on Sunday, you knew that would become a label that would probably stick.

But the pigskin action begins with an AFC East clash as Bill Belichick and his New England Patriots visit rival New York Jets Sunday (1 pm ET, CBS).
Sports Interaction betting analyst Frank Doyle makes his picks for Week 2 of the NFL season. He was 2-1 last week.
Early season can be a great time to make money in NFL betting. In the first few weeks, everybody is adjusting. After a summer of hype, the first real shots are fired in Week 1 and when the smoke clears it’s a question of deciding who has exceeded expectations (New Orleans, Green Bay), who has disappointed (Houston, Chicago) and who is just hard to figure out. San Diego, I’m looking at you.

Baseball still exists. It’s true – we checked to make sure. But this is the first week of the 2009 NFL season, and our first opportunity to bet on Monday Night Football.

The game should make for great TV, and hence great betting action. The Irish are a 3-point favorite at Sportsbook.com and will be looking to buck a prolific underdog covering trend in the series.
So – the NFL season is set to start on Thursday and the main topic of conversation is about a bisexual former Playboy playmate and reality star and full-time publicity hound named Tila Tequila.
