Welcome to an abbreviated version of the Pembroke Mafia Football League picks column, an ongoing exercise in something so odd and yet so profoundly confusing that it ought to get a spray tan and run for Congress. It’s an abbreviated column because we’re in a sort of pinch for space this week, and I’m pretty much in a pinch for time as well. Usually, this thing runs 800 words or so and goes on about all sorts of things, even football.
