Philly get’s their wish, well, sort of…

For one brief moment the kid was looking like he was going to run the table on y’all fools, but by 7:30pm it was all set in stone. Them Eagles had a point to prove and my ‘Boys weren’t ready for prime time. The season is still young but right now we might be looking at a birdbrain Super Bowl – Ravens vs. Eagles. Like I said, the season is still young.

Talk about crash landing. The Jets got pwn3d something crazy by Jacksonville. Chicago and new England handled their B.I.’s and the Chiefs were a surprising winner to me, but MATT LEINART did get his rocks off.

Only two of y’all actually ran the table including CANDICE, who incidentally was the only person prior to this week to go seven for seven. In a few more weeks I might run some over under action in order for those of us that arfe lagging behind to have a chance at making this this a contest. As it stands now, the women are the cream of the crop. Here’s a tally for all the players in the DP dot com football pool (parentheses = overall score)…

THE DALLAS = 5 pts (17)
CANDICE = 7 pts (24)
TIFFANY = 6 pts (17)
40 DAWG a/k/a THE LIGHT SKINNED RICHARD ROUNDTREE = 6 pts (17)
LM = 6 pts (21)
AMADEO = 5 pts (19)
SKAGGER VANCE = 5 pts (5) **Skagger Vance = Skeeter Valentine?!?**
JESSE = 5 pts (14)
SHONQUAYSHAH= 6 pts (19)
Mr.KAMOJI = 6 pts (19)
EL A IN THE D = 6pts (11)
PRYNSEX = 6 pts (14)
S DOT = 6 pts (22)
J trademark = 7 pts (7)
SASQUATCHFART = 6 pts (15)
ALEX2.0 = 7 pts (20)
RD = 6 pts (16)

The one thing I am learning from this pool is not to bet against women. CANDICE still rocks pole position for next weeks up coming games.

I’m all hype for this weekend because I get to see where my Cowboys rank inside of the NFC East. Philadelphia has been a tough matcchup for us the last few years since DONOVAN McNABB came to Broad Street. I hope T.O. has a monster afternoon, but I really need our running game to get off the skids. This weekend will go a long way to letting me know if the ‘Boys are built for January.

I told you I wasn’t betting against the Ravens this week. Since them dudes is playing on Monday night they won’t be in our pool this weekend. I am ready for them to lose a game too. Who do these dudes think they are? The ’72 Dolphins?!? (LM, that is the right year, right?) Anyhoo, Chicago returns to the pool this weekend as well as the Giants. I’m hoping that the ‘Skins can beat the Giants and send the New York football beat writers into a frenzy. How many NFL coaches have been fired before week 6 (LM knows the answer).

BUFFALO BILLS @ CHICAGO BEARS
Buffalo wings versus bratwurst equals massive indigestion. Chicago’s defense gets in done in the windy city.

MIAMI DOLPHINS @ NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
I keep putting Miami in the pool because ALEX 2.0 is in love with DUANTE CULPEPPER. Face it ALEX 2.0, DUANTE is gay and so are the Dolphins. Patriots handle their B.I.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS @ NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
The swamp at the SuperDome is where you can find decomposing corpses and CHRIS SIMMS spleen. I’m not exactly sure what a spleen is, but not having one sounds like a problem. The Saints will rip the spleen from the Bucs arses and then eat it.

WASHINGTON REDSKINS @ NEW YORK GIANTS
Try to imagine all the losers in NYC that live for sports talk radio. If the Giants lose this game what happened to those little Amish girls will seem like a picnic compared to the carnage of balding middle aged males from New Jersey coming up from their basements to choke their mothers. Thank GOD for the Giants.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS @ ARIZONA CARDINALS
Now that the Chiefs have a win under their belt its time to return back to the cellar of the AFC West. Arizona rookie QB MATT LEINART gets fat off poor KC defense.

NEW YORK JETS @ JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
This is a tough one and I’m going to have to go with my head and say that the Jags need this game for some eemotional stability. After being pwned by Washington in OT the Jags will show some urgency and resolve early in this game.

DALLAS COWBOYS @ PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
You know my steez…

I am so feeling seven for seven this week. You don’t have to rush your picks since the post stays active all weekend, just make sure that you drop your picks before the first game’s kickoff.

I knew the Jets weren’t going to beat the Colts in the end, although I just love laterals in professional football. Who remembers this one from the California vs. Stanford game?



Speaking of laterals. Remember the Titans…



Somebody break up the Ravens! Another last minute victory over a quality opponent has this team looking like it has the eye of the tiger early in the season. I could get used to them if Air McNAIR keeps up the clutch quarterbacking a la STAUBACH or ELWAY. I may not bet against the Ravens next week.

I bombed hard this week while most of you picked up the pace. At least my Cowboys took care of business. Look out for the Redskins too. They could send the tri-state area into a frenzy of talk radio vitriol if the Giants get pwned by them.

Here’s the current tally for everybody’s scores, (+) = overall pt total.

THE DALLAS = 2 pts (12)
40 DAWG DREWLANDER = 5 pts (11)
CANDICE = 4 pts (17)
AMADEO = 3 pts (14)
TIFFANY = 6 pts (11)
PRYNSEX = 4 pts (8)
SHONQUAYSHAH = 5 pts (13)
LM = 5 pts (15)
RD = 4 pts (10)
Mr.KAMOJI = 2 pts (13)
JESSE = 3 pts (9)
SASQUATCHFART = 5 pts (9)
S DOT = 5 pts (16)
ALEX 2.0 = 3 pts (13)

For a third consecutive week the overall points leader is a girl. All I’ma say is fellas, y’all need to get your weight up.
