Week 9 Looking Fine With Danielle Moinet

November 6, 2011 @ No Comments

If it’s Sunday, it’s time once again for Danielle Moinet to make pigskin prognostications. She does so weekly at turdfergusonblog.com. And Danielle does so quite impressively. Her body of work stacks up quite nicely to those folks who forecast football games for a living.

Nice pair of Chicago classics: Danielle Moinet and Mike Ditka.

For Week 9, former Chicago Bliss (that’s Lingerie Football League, for those who might not be as full of football knowledge as they ought to be) defensive back Danielle likes: Houston over Cleveland, Buffalo over the New York Jets, New England over the New York Giants, Green Bay over San Diego and Philadelphia over Chicago.

Of that Monday Night Football contest featuring the Bears, Danielle observes: “Oh how this pains me! I love my Bears, but our defense is going to get exposed.”

Speaking of being at odds with things (and even if we weren’t), here are some numbers from the fine folks at Bodog:

Lori Hess, Nicole Moneer Guerrero and Salimatu Dumbuya livened up an entertaining evening at the 2011 NPC Midwest Ironman event.

Somehow gaining an extra hour of sleep Saturday night didn’t materialize. Maybe the reason was some of us happened to fall asleep on the couch after coming home from an enjoyable evening at the 2011 NPC Midwest Ironman show at the Copernicus Center in Chicago.

Thank you to IFBB Pro Nicole Moneer Guerrero for serving as the interviewer for several videos with contestants (hey, there even was one guy among the interview subjects). Videos from the event will be forthcoming.
