What happens if you mix the biggest news story of the week with the NFL?

Here's the deal: Politics, pop culture and sports aren't supposed to mix, right? Yeah, right. Just ask Bill Bradley, Heath Schuler, Steve Largent, Jesse Ventura, J.C. Watts, Jack Kemp etc., and probably Tom Brady sometime in the future. Oh, and Ronald Reagan used to announce baseball games, while George W. Bush owned a baseball team.

Politics is sports. Sports is politics. And it's all pop culture. Here at WhatZgonnahappen, it’s about political football.

As for the weekly NFL picks - I am the only predictions columnist in the universe with the guts to admit I don't know what's going to happen in the NFL. I am clueless. I predict the games anyway.
