Rocky Is Joining The 31 Million Unemployed Americans....

Rocky got his pink slip today.....he's all done making NFL picks....the new method will be to select all of the home teams for the rest of the year....the results can't be any worse than what he did last Sunday...only picked 5 winning teams!!!

Maybe he needs to enroll in a local community college.... he needs to learn to live with his "eyes wide open" and his "tongue in the books"...

He'll visit every week and give you an update on his life as an unemployed American of English heritage!!!

Hi Barbara -- I think Rocky may have other talents. Looks to me that he would be a great therapy dog with READ...helping kids read at schools and libraries... :)

Did he pick my Niners on Thursday night? Even I was afraid to do that after the miserable defeat to my dad's Giants.

What an adorable shot of Rocky. You know, he probably didn't even look good in a suit and a tie.

BarbaraT- call me crazy but when I saw this picture, Winston Churchill came to mind. I say bring Rocky's picks back. No retirement for him. I can only take so much change.

Barbara, whenever I have won a football pool, it has been because I just guessed! When I tried to research it and educate myself to choose, I never won. Guess Rocky has learned the same thing :)
