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.
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.

For my Heavy Rollers I choose…
Jackson5 (2)
Jags Bills total = O.J. (2)
Steve Smith is aces in real life and on my fantasty team. Panthers in a romp.
The Receiver Formerly Known as Simon Phoenix is also aces in real life and on my fantasy team. Bengals.
Even though Chad Pennington throws like an indigenous woman with blisters, Jets are too much for the Texans.
As Ron Jaworski says, “The Majestic Micahel Vick” (seriously) comes back at home to son Drew Brees and the ‘Aints
I like the Stillers to knock off the luckiest team in football this week.
The Bears have been my squad since ’84, and I have 3 of their guys on my fantasy squad. Fuck it, I’M PICKING REX GROSSMAN TO BEAT TOM BRADY! YEAH I SAID IT!
The Giants are frauds. And Jim Jones is fucking awful. And “Ballin” is over. Vince Young bitch slaps these clowns. Jeremy Shockey stares at his hideous tattooes in disgust on the sidelines once again.

^yeah you got it right.
If LaDanian Tomlinon rushes for more yards than Steve Jackson you win 4 pts
If Carson Palmer throws for more TD’s than Delhomme you will get 2 pts (you could have wagered the 2 for 4 here but you played it safer)
^Thanks for that brother… Hope you had a good Pilgrim Takeover Day yesterday… I’m going to contribute to third world economies today with some sort of sneaker purchase… Be easy.

Carry on.
