The Monday Morning Quarterback Wk.12

Some of you may have been confused with the Bonus Points + Heavy Roller feature. 40 DAWG, LM and PRYNSEX had it figured out, but not as well as me. I put my faith in STEVEN JACKSON having a big game on the 49er’s, and I still almost lost to the NFL’s MVP LaDANIAN TOMLINSON. In any case, I hope that you would shout me out in the comments section or via e-mail if you have any questions with the way the pool works.

How ’bout them Cowboys? Y’all better show some respect to that jig statesman, MICHAEL IRVIN. I predicted the ‘Boys would have a record of 12-4 way back when and I am still sticking with my squad especially since the Giants have shown they are straight up trash. The Ray-Vens keep beating everybody they play, but this upcoming week when the play the red-hot Bengals will let me know if they are for real like EVANDER. Like the National Football League our pool is wide open for anyone to win. And just like in the NFL, things are getting tighter at the top…

THE DALLAS = 12 pts (54)
CANDICE = 7 pts (55)
40 DAWG aka Dr. Archibald Bitchschlapp = 5 pts (49)
LM = 9 pts (53)
AMADEO = 8 pts (55)
JESSE = 4 pts (38)
SHONQUAYSHAH= 5 pts (49)
Mr.KAMOJI = 8 pts (53)
EL A IN THE D = -1 pts (32)
SASQUATCHFART = 9 pts (47)
PRYNSEX = 10 pts (50)
S DOT = 7 pts (45)
ALEX2.0 = 5 pts (51)
ESBEE = 5 pts (21)

ESBEE is still stuck in the rear for active players, but maybe this week he’ll make some progress. And speaking of progress, this week we will holler at Burger King to see if we can get some corporate love for our NFL Football Pool.

The DP Dot Com Football Pool (Wk 12)

cowgirls

Happy Turkey Day poolers. If your’e a Cowboy fan then extra happy to you and your family. The time of year is fast approaching that we will have pro football games on Saturdays and we will see who makes it to the second season. In the meantime we will see who among us shall be victorious as the king (or most likely, queen) of the first annual DP Dot Com Football Pool.

I am putting a wrinkle into the Bonus Points section for this week. Peep game… I will allow each pooler the chance to designate two(2) Bonus Points questions as their ‘Heavy Roller’ picks. The ‘Heavy Roller’ pick works this way. You may wager points from your existing point total onto the ‘H.R.’ picks. This feature was created to make or break last place pooler ESBEE. He has a chance to get up to speed with this feature. For every point that you wager you will win twice that amount if your pick is correct. If your pick fails then you will lose only what you wagered. For instance… ESBEE picks the Cowboys to outscore the Lions on Thansgiving Day and wagers (5) points from his existing total (17) and the Cowboys win he gets to add (10) to his existing total of (17) = (27).

Everybody won’t be allowed to wager (5) points either. Your current point total determines the maximum amount of points that you can submit.

  • if your total exceeds 40pts you may only wager (2) pts per ‘H.R.’ question
  • if your total exceeds 30pts but is less than 40pts you may only wager (3) pts per ‘H.R.’ question
  • if your total exceeds 20pts but is less than 30pts you may only wager (4) pts per ‘H.R.’ question
  • if you are ESBEE you may wager (5) pts per ‘Heavy Roller’ question
  • This qualifies for all the poolers that haven’t submitted picks recently like MISHA and Skeeter Valentine and Skagger Vance and P-City. Here is your chance to get back in thr game. I hope that I’ve explained the Bonus Points breakdown system clearly. I will submit my picks in the comments section to allow you to see how it works.

    CAROLINA PANTHERS @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS
    The funny thing is that Washington could pull this off. I doubt it, but they could.

    CINCINNATI BENGALS @ CLEVELAND BROWNS
    CHAD is really hot right now (no ROMO).

    HOUSTON TEXANS @ NEW YORK JETS
    This looks like another sure-shot pick. Jets are flying for a playoff berth.

    NEW ORLEANS SAINTS @ ATLANTA FALCONS
    Payback from RON MEXICO is something that you can never get rid of.

    PITTSBURGH STEELERS @ BALTIMORE RAY-VENS
    I’m going with the Steel Curtain, even though they have played like drapes.

    CHICAGO BEAR @ NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
    You know the Pats live for these games.

    NEW YORK GIANTS @ TENNESSEE TITANS
    A little home cooking helps ELI get his mind right.

    BONUS POINTS * HEAVY ROLLER * BONUS POINTS

    Who has the most rushing yards this weekend?
    LaDANIAN TOMLINSON or STEVEN JACKSON?

    Who throws the most touchdownpasses this weekend?
    CARSON PALMER or JAKE DELHOMME?

    Total combined score for JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS @ BUFFALO BILLS
    OVER or UNDER 34 pts

    Total combined score for OAKLAND RAIDERS @ SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
    OVER or UNDER 44 pts

    A moment of silence for all the fallen quarterbacks this weekend. Remember that the N.F.L. stands for ‘Not For Long’. No guaranteed money in this game kids so act like you know when you put on the pads and shit. AMADEO had a monster weekend and rightfully so. After dropping that post on us last Friday I think ol’ boy called in a marker he had with Kermit so the ball would bounce his way. Give credit to CANDICE for leading the poolers since the gate. It’s crowded at the top, but homegirl finds a way to stay up there no matter what.

    My picks didn’t work out as well as I would have liked but any weekend that BRETT FAVRE and MC Longneck lose is like my own personal bonus. How about CHAD JOHNSON putting in extra work yesterday? The Super Bowl is starting to take shape in my mind. It looks like Dallas versus San Diego. Dallas wins of course. You can hate me now. Here are this week’s point totals poolers, get in where you fit in…

    THE DALLAS – 5 pts (42)
    CANDICE = 6 pts (48)
    TIFFANY = 2 pts (39)
    THE OL’ 40 BASTARD = 5 pts (44)
    J trademark= 5 pts (26)
    LM = 5 pts (44)
    AMADEO = 7 pts (47)
    JESSE = 5 pts (34)
    SHONQUAYSHAH= 3 pts (44)
    Mr.KAMOJI = 5 pts (45)
    EL A IN THE D = 4 pts (33)
    SASQUATCHFART = 6 pts (38)
    PRYNSEX = 5 pts (40)
    S DOT = 4 pts (38)
    ALEX2.0 = 6 pts (46)
    ESBEE = 6 pts (16)

    After nwxt week’s pool I will introduce the ‘Heavy Roller’ bonus question in which I will allow poolers to submit a bonus by wagering some of their points. For instance, if a pooler puts 5 points on whether San Diego and Denver will cover the over/under the pooler wins, I give them twice the amount they waged(10 points). If a pooler loses I only deduct the amount waged. It’s going to be a chance for cats like ESBEE to really come up in the game. Let me know what you think.

    dips

    I’ve been told that there’s no truth to the rumor that LM will be appearing on the new DIP SET holiday album ‘White Snow Christmas: Crack Rap for Christ Sakes’. Ultimately, that’s too bad because LM may not be the most gifted emcee, but ol’ boy is sharp with the numbers. Even crack dealing rap superstars should have a good accountant.

    This is that week that I will make or break some of you fools. With everybody hugging CANDICE’s behind like she were a pair of stripper drawls its time to shake what our momma’s gave us. Just like last week we will have seven games and four (4) bonus points on the table. If you ever believed you could fly this would be the week to get off the ground (no ERIC MANGINA). Here’s your lineup…

    CINCINNATI BENGALS @ NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
    Bengals roll big in the bayou this weekend. CHAD JOHNSON goes for 500 receiving yards.

    PITTSBURGH STEELERS @ CLEVELAND BROWNS
    Pittsburgh were the Super Bowl champs last season right?!? Pittsburgh shows some pride in one of the toughest divisions in football.

    ATLANTA FALCONS @ BALTIMORE RAY-VENS
    I am going with the road dog Falcons because I see Baltimore looking past them.

    BUFFALO BILLS @ HOUSTON TEXANS
    I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for the Bills this season (no MARV LEVY).

    WASHINGTON REDSKINS @ TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
    There’s no reason to think that Washington can win on the road without CLINTON PORTIS. I am still picking the ‘Skins since they all have their spleens.

    MINNESOTA VIKINGS @ MIAMI DOLPHINS
    The ‘Fins aren’t as bad as we first thought and the Vikes weren’t as good as they thought.

    DETROIT LIONS @ ARIZONA CARDINALS
    Two words… DILLA LIVES!

    BONUS POINTS * BONUS POINTS * PONUS POINTS

    Who has the most receiving yards this weekend?
    CHAD JOHNSON or ANDRE JOHNSON?

    DALLAS PENN Hearts SPY Magazine

    Monday, November 13th, 2006

    spy

    This year is the twentieth anniversary of what I will argue is the most influential magazine in the last… Twenty years.

    SPY magazine was a monthly tribute to the festering underbelly of politics, economics and society in New York City and in America. They featured fleshed out exposes that illuminated the depravity and ginormous greed in corporate cultures like Wall Street and Madison Avenue. SPY magazine was that CEO’s personal assistant spilling the beans about who was bilking the company out of their retirement fund savings. DONALD TRUMP and his horrible hairpieces were always placed on Front Street.

    spy

    You can’t imagine the party that was thrown when SPY finally shuttered their doors. It was a great relief to the classless upper-class that they could finally return to their normal obnoxious state of being. They could kick up the legs and dance without SPY magazine nipping at their well-heeled heels. Here’s a rundown of some of the usual suspects that were featured in SPY magazine who might not have remained so prominent in the public eye if the magazine was still on the shelves. PAT ROBERTSON, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, BILL COSBY, NANCY REAGAN, LIZ SMITH, BILL CLINTON, MARTHA STEWART, PAUL McCARTNEY, DONALD TRUMP, OPRAH WINFREY, HILLARY CLINTON, GEORGE BUSH Sr.

    spy

    My english teacher in Brooklyn Tech H.S. would bring in all sorts of publications for us to read. From the New York Times to Vanity Fair to The Observer. All those rags were lily white and they spoke to me as if I weren’t good enough to touch the paper they were printed on, but SPY magazine made fun of the whole lot. It stripped away pretension and privilege by showing that those who flaunt it the most deserve it the least.

    It’s true that I knowingly co-opted the ‘Seperated At Birth’ theme from SPY, but what I failed to remember is that they also used to run a ‘Celebrity Math’ feature. I will tell you in a New York City minute that SPY magazine’s writing is what has birthed my sense of quasi-journalism and as I scan the blogosphere and even broadcast television I can see that the spirit of that magazine lives on. From Gawker to the Daily Show there are an endless amount of outlets carrying SPY’s DNA code of spot on humor and razor sharp snark.

    If I could have told the editor’s of the magazine twenty years ago that GEORGE BUSH Sr’s drunken son would be a two term president and that ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER would be governor of California and that DONALD TRUMP would climb out of bankruptcy to become the King of New York City real estate they prah’lee would have told me to go ‘Get A Life’.
