No subliminals to SACH…
One of my favorite football players of all time is hanging up his playing cleats this off-season, provided BILL BELICHICK doesn’t come after him in the spring. SAPP was an ass kicker from the gate. In high school football he gave JOHNNY DAMON a concussion. SAPP won numerous defensive player awards at the University of Miami although he never won a national championship with the Hurricanes.
SAPP seemed destined to play his entire football career in his home state when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted him out of college. SAPP would go on to be one of the most respected defensive tackles evar. Think of a faster and stronger JOE KLECKO. Using his speed, athleticism and game smarts WARREN SAPP became a Hall of Fame player. I wonder if FAVRE will shout him out during these playoffs?
Are you ready for a homegrown DP Dot Com x NFL Playoffs Football Pool? I am. Let’s do a little something with the NFL post-season about to jumpoff.
Here are the Rules...
You can only pick one(1) player per team. So if you chose Tom Brady as your QB you can NOT Randy Moss as a WR. Take your time and use strategy when assembling your team. You will only get points when your player plays so be careful of the 1st round byes and teams you think will only play one game. Your team must consist of…
PLAYERS
1 QB
2 RB
2 WR
1 TE
1 FLEX(could be a running back, wide receiver, or tight end)
1 Kicker
1 Defense/Special Teams
SCORING
6 pts- TD Rushing, Receiving, Passing
6 pts- Defensive TD, Kickoff Return/Punt Return for a TD
6 pts- Defensive Shutout
3 pts- Field Goals (4pts- 40 yarder, 5pts- 50 yarder, 6pts- 60 yarder)
3 pts- Defense holds opponent to 9 points or less
2 pts- Defensive safety
2 pts- Two point conversion (Rushing, Receiving, Passing)
1 pt- Every 10 yards Receiving, Rushing
1 pt- Every 20 yards Passing
1 pt- Defensive sack, interception, fumble recovery
1 pt- Kicking extra point
0 pts- Any yardage on punt/kickoff returns
* If a punt or kickoff is returned for a TD the D/ST gets 6 points and if you have a guy like Wes Welker as one of your WR’s he will also be credited with 6 pts if he ran it back. So in that scenario the Pats D & Welker will be credited 6 pts.
* RB has 73 rushing yards and 10 receiving yards(total yards – 83) he will be credited 8 pts.
* If a QB has 200 passing yards -1 rushing(total yards – 199), he will be credited 9 pts. If he has 199 passing yards &1 rushing(total yards – 200), he will be credited 10
*This is NOT for just the first round, but the ENTIRE playoffs so once your player is out you cant pick up another you have to play a man or two or three down.
Here’s what my squad looks like…
QB – Tom Brady
RB – LT(omlinson)
RB – Fred Taylor
WR – Donald Driver
WR – Plaxico Burress
TE – Jason Witten
FLEX- Joseph Addai
K- Rob Bironas
D/ST- Tampa Bay
The first game tomorrow is @ 1:00pm EST so if yuou don’t have your roster in the comments by then it will have to be a next season thing.
