I swear I can’t win but for losing with some of these football picks. Everybody was getting all giddy over RONNY MEXICO and then homeboy goes wood (no KORDELL STEWART). My Cowboys are another team that needs to be ashamed of themselves for not having the motivation to whup on a Washington team that is clearly going nowhere fast. How ’bout them Dolphins?!? Protecting the legacy of ’72 or whatever year that was. Drinks on the house at Csonka’s Bar & Grill.
I’m not sure why all of you didn’t take advantage of the bonus points, and we ended up with a four way tie for the total combined score of the Chiefs/Rams contest. Since the point total was 48 and no one guessed that exact number I granted a point to everyone that was the closest to that number. AMADEO, EL A in the D, PRYNSEX and SHONQUAYSHAH get 1 extra point added to their score. The other bonus question asked who would score the most on Sunday, the Cowboys or the Falcons. Since the Falcons took one in the ‘a’ (and I’m not talking Atlanta) everyone that said Cowboys for that question gets 1 point added to their pick total this week. SHONQUAYSHAH was the only one brave enough to walk with me on that call. Looks like some of you got burnt by RON MEXICO, ha! Enough jokes, let’s see if anyone was lucky enough to wrest the lead from CANDICE’s moneygrip…
THE DALLAS – 5 pts (34)
CANDICE = 3 pts (38)
TIFFANY = 3 pts (33)
40 DAWG & The Tall Cans = 6 pts (35)
J trademark= 3 pts (17)
LM = 3 pts (36)
AMADEO = 4 pts (34)
JESSE = 3 pts (26)
SHONQUAYSHAH= 5 pts (36)
Mr.KAMOJI = 2 pts (36)
EL A IN THE D = 3 pts (24)
PRYNSEX = 4 pts (30)
S DOT = 1 pt (31)
ALEX2.0 = 3 pts (32)
MISHA = 0 pts (4)
ESBEE = 3 pts (6)
Shit is getting thick up in this piece fa’sho. When I come back this week I will give you a few small rule changes that shouldn’t affect the pool. One of them is that picks will have to be entered a day before the first game kicks off. This way you get your entries posted in case I have some server outage issues.
SHONQUAYSHAH has repeatedly asked about a basketball pool and I would be willing to host one on the site, but only if someone else administered it. Most of you humps are too lazy to even type in complete sentences so I don’t imagine a project that would require some effort as being something in your wheelhouses. I’m just saying…
I couldn’t believe some of the games this weekend. Miami gets props today. They beat the last undefeated Bears team (I remember it was on Monday night in the snow) and they beat this one. Props to them for exposing the Bears….
P.S. To The Redskins….the Giants and I thank you.
What an awful Sunday all around the league, with only one game being in doubt into the final minute and a lot of so-called good teams laying eggs into the dregs.
Props to 40 Dawg, DP and Shonquayshah for ridiculously high point totals.
And most important, praise Bill Parcells, Terrell Owens and the other Cowboys who played an instrumental role in the Redskins magnificent win yesterday at FedEx Field. (Candice, you should thank them along with Troy Vincent, Sean Taylor, Nick Novak, et al.)
(You true fans know that I’d love to bash Idiot Kicker, too, but that block wasn’t his fault.)
The Cowboys need to stop believing their own hype (shouts out to Kanye). Every game is crucial in the NFL and they are not taking the sh*t seriously.
Using the ball as a pillow in the end zone and getting a penalty for celebrating what you are getting PAID to do is stupid, immature and arrogant.
Berating your coach and teammates when they lose cause you feel you didn’t get the ball eneough….only to have you drop the winning touchdown in the end zone while playing your division rivals…..unnacceptable.
Going for the two point conversion when you need to just put some steady points on the board….crazy.
The Cowboys let last week’s win swell their heads up. They have to bring it everyday. The games won’t just fall into their lap because they think they are America’s Team. They are gonna self destruct by week ten.
If you cant count on Miami to loose than what can you count on. I quit this Bitch
Man Brady let me down..f’real..those 4 picks except the last one which K.Faulk shoulda gotten…
I don’t even know what to think about Dallas..T.O. should’ve caught that ball..the line shouldn’t have allowed a blocked FG..and more and more..
*tips cap to LM for giving props*
If I win this I’m willing to share a case of the finest malt liquor in a NYC parks location of your choice.
okay…Candice…you are fittin’ta to go down like “superhead”!
(NOT TO BE MEAN OR ANYTHING!)
mr. kamoji, 40, dp & me are hot on your heels, girlfriend!
*in my very best Sha-nay-nay from Martin voice*
“Misha, you so crazy!”
OKAY,I will sign up to do a basketball pool on 2 conditions: 1)if LM will hold my hand and
2) IFdallas will show me how to set it up! (you know which games to pick, point spread, etc. I am not a “true” gambler, yet!
*leaves the room while singing my NBA re-mix to “Touch It”
by Busta Rhymes:
“touch it, move it, stop it, swing it back, shoot it, get the rebound!”
okay,okay, *(i know…i’m so crazy!)
‘Quay, I’m in if we’ve got a system that doesn’t require daily maintenance. (Ahem.) But you didn’t leave me off the “hot on the heels” list purposely, did you?
Im coming around
Objects in mirror are closer than they really appear…..lol
…i apologize LM, they say the eyes are the first thing to go…you know I love you, that’s why I requested that you hold my hand! but I am with you on that”doesn’t require daily maintenance” thing.
Dallas- just let me know…and I can go over to the NBA.com sight and pre-pick all of the games…just let me know which dates or which conference we’ll be lookin’ at…I am ready!
whrn your head coach starts kissing players u kno ur season iz goin down hill…. HOW BOUT THEM REDSKINZ!?!
‘Quay,
I propose this… each week we put out a slate of three head-to-head games, two chances to project a team’s overall record for the week, and two over-unders for individual stats (including player vs. player comparisons). No point spreads ’cause this isn’t a “true” betting site and, infinitely more importantly, ’cause that’d be a lot more work for us (despite my math skills).
Example for week of November 13th-19th:
1. The ‘Brons at KA-nicks
2. Spurs at Rockets
3. Bulls at Lakers
4. Wizards record for week (at Knicks, at Pistons, hosting Cavaliers)
5. Mavs record for week (hosting Bulls, at Grizzlies, hosting Grizzlies)
6. In Bulls at Rockets on the 16th, who gets more blocked shots, Ben Wallace or Yao Ming?
7. In Nuggets at Heat on the 14th, who scores more in the fourth quarter, ‘Melo or DWade?
If you and Dallas are cool with this, you and I can divide responsibilities for pool maintenance.
LM,
you and Shonquayshah have spoken. She wants the pool and you have an interesting format. I will start the architecture on the site for implementing the pool. I think we’ll call it ‘Losing Isaiah’. Give me a couple of days to figure it out.
