In today's featured comment, my blog friend Barry from New Jersey comes to the defense of me and my fellow Sun football oracles, some of whom came under fire here for picking the Eagles to win this past Sunday:

Barry's take: With all the silly stuff being said about the Sun writers failing as PR men in their prognostications, I'd love to see you guys all tab the Bengals this week. You could borrow the mantra from "Let it Ride" -- "You never know."

Pete's take: If nothing else, I appreciate Barry reminding me of one of my all-time favorite sports/gambling comedies. My favorite moment is when the suddenly red-hot, down-and-out horseplayer Jay Trotter (Richard Dreyfuss) is sitting in the Jockey Club for the first time and asks a beautiful stranger sitting next to him if he can buy her a drink.

Trotter: Can I buy you a drink?
Sexy woman: I don't see why not. I'm on the pill.
Trotter (looking right at the camera): I'm having a VERY good day.

I'm going to move it to the top of my Netflix queue right now.
