... in the back yard after it predicted how last season was going to turn out and asked it about the rest of this season.

Here is the transcript of that "conversation":

LongEaredHandsomeHound: So, now that Matt Schaub is injured, how will Matt the Second fare?
CrystalHopeCrusher:  First, let me say, "sorry" about having to tell you how last season's defense was going to implode, and thank you for burying me in a shady part of the yard because that direct sun through the summer would have been hell on my clarity.  Now, having said that, I'm glad to be able to offer a brighter outlook on the rest of the season.  Because of the level of talent surrounding him, the learning opportunity that he has taken full advantage of, and his own decent athletic skills, I see Matt Leinart effectively running the Texan's offense through the rest of the season and winning 4 of the remaining 6.  His performance through this stretch will catch the eye of the Denver coaching staff (who is tired of looking like a college team) and he will be given the chance to compete for a starting job there next year.

LongEaredHandsomeHound: So, how do we do in the playoffs?
CrystalHopeCrusher: Can we just end this on an up-note please?

LongEaredHandsomeHound: So, do you want to tell me where I buried those four bones last fall or should I put you back in the hole?
CrystalHopeCrusher: Did you look in the bottom of the hole I came out of because those stupid bones were poking me all summer?
