DELAY OF GAMES

Those of you who awake each Friday morning eager to read the "SuperSerious SuperSaturday SoothSaying" picks, I must implore you to wait. Due to circumstances entirely within my control--i.e., my absent-mindedness--, I left my laptop powercord (which in no way resembles these power chords) at our offices in Stamford, Conn., and needed a save via our Most Valuable Employee at G.E., Laura Harrington (honestly, it goes Ebersol, Harrington, Fey in my rankings).

That unforced error led to my having no 'puter access until just now, when I am about to board a flight to Chicago. So, with Rothstein's help, I'll file them later.

In my attempts to conform to G.E. guidelines, I do promise that all of my picks this week will be carbon-neutral. And I won't stop there.

For those of you who are fans of 70s baseball players, my picks will also be Carbo-neutral.

(and if you prefer Mexican getaways, it will be Cabo-neutral)

For those who are dieting, my picks will be carb-neutral.

If you are on the fence regarding the Big 3's possible $25 billion bailout, my picks will be car-neutral.

You say you don't want to talk about Proposition 8? My picks will also be Ca.-neutral.
