Brace for a wild Picks sleigh ride as Mark and Ali battle for the reins

The favored NFL teams slammed into a snow bank in Week 14 with a 5-9 record, but Ali had a great 10-4 showing to pull within three games of first-place Mark.  With just three weeks left in the 2006 season, the Teenage Bird is reaching for the reins of the Picks sleigh while singing along to a classic song of the holiday season ...

Just hear those Picks yells bursting out and big plays shouted 'bout, too
Come on it's a lovely season for a Picks ride together with you
Outside the Bears are mauling and rivals are bawling "Boo hoo"
Come on it's a lovely season for a Picks ride together with you

Looky up, looky up, looky up, it's so, Mark's leading the show
He's riding to a third Picks crown we know
Looky up, looky up, looky up, it's grand, Mark's raising his hand
He's gliding along with a song of an NFL marching band

Ali's hopes are nice and rosy and comfy cozy is she
She's snuggled up near first like the bird without feathers she be
Ali wants that road to the title it would be so vital and new
Come on it's a lovely season for a Picks ride together with you

There's a birthday party at the office of goofy Blaine
A video shows his antics are a bit insane
We'll be watching Adam's disc we love to watch without a single stop
In the cubicle's where we watch balloons go pop -- pop, pop, pop

There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
When winning the Picks is better than a French silk pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives
