NFL Week 5 Picks and Dwight Smith Likes Swordfish (the movie)

WOLVES/NBA REACTIONS:

- Rashad McCants latest hamstring injury has Benny Gunzz emailing: "Rashaad McCants is injured again!! Is this guy the Joe Mauer of the NBA minus the talent?"

DWIGHT SMITH IS A SHOPAHOLIC

Prior to the start of the season, my desire for comedy was sated with Viking's safety Dwight Smith's interview with Bob Sansevere in which, among other things, he stated he was a shopaholic.

Most amusing is his answer to the question of Favorite Actor. "My favorite actor is John Travolta. I liked him in 'Swordfish' and 'Face/Off.'"

Really?! Swordfish?! Isn't this movie only notable because Halle Barry's mammary glands make an unclothed appearance? Did Dwight Smith know this was going to print?

If I scored a TD on Dwight Smith, I would love to work with this material, "Hey, yo, Dwight, maybe you should watch films instead of watching Swordfish."
