Hey, welcome to Week 5. There's been a lot of action... Unfortunately, I'm still super busy. Sorry about that. Let me give you my Bosses number, you can call him personally.....
(uhhh, maybe not...)
Forza Horizon 2 Update:
Wait, that's not Mad Tyte JDM.... That's a Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG Black Series..... Haha! Nice ride. If you like insane Coupes with V12 motors and close to 700 horses... Fun game. I see next week, the "professional" XBox One Controller comes out.... Not cheap, but....
Ahem, anyways...
Week One: KCAMOSY. Nice job! Week one is always tough, you just have no idea...
Week Two: DJS26. Week two was a mess, but, DJS stepped in less crap than the rest of us. One of only 5 people to take Dallas.... Against Philly, no less... Haha! It already seems kinda quaint, that we thought The Eagles might be a good team....
Week Three: ELUSIVE. Nice job! He's actually leading the season, at the moment, by the slimmest of margins.... What a week. 1 wrong. I'm in another pool, it's like a 3 way pool, but one component of it, is a confidence pool, just like this.... There's like 60-some people. 133 would have won THAT pool.... No small feat.
Week 4: DJS26 again! Hey, congrats! 1 wrong for DJS also.... Holy Crap. These guys are killing it.
So, we have Elusive, DJS26, and Studmonkey, who are running away from us, for the season....
As your Fearless Leader, I'm hanging back, for the moment. I'm pacing myself. It's a long season. I gotta save something for the end.... I see Smitty201 is lurking near the lead.... Be afraid, guys, be very afraid....
Cheerleader Update:
Bengals Cheerleaders help us celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness..... I didn't even know they had cheerleaders.....
(whoa, that was a cheap shot!)
Supposedly they are 4-0. Not to worry, they will lose their first playoff game no problem. I already can't wait to bet the opponent heavily....
Speaking of betting, I hit both my Baseball futures. Brewers Under, Diamondbacks Over. Neither was close. So that was nice. Brewers are back to being a AAAA Farm Team. I did see Carlos Gomez go ya-ya vs the Yankees in the absurd and ridiculous 1 game playoff.... 162 games, and a 1 game playoff??? Does anyone else see the raging absurdity there, or is it just me?? Probably just me.... Anyways....
Cardinals cheerleaders are in fine form, I see.... If Carson Palmer can stay healthy, look out.... I do that same drill prior to Trapshooting Season, I stand on 1 foot, I stand on the other foot..... What a coincidence...
A quick Hot Seat Watch: Chip Kelly probably should just hold onto his next couple house payments.... Mike Pettine better figure out a way to win a couple football games pretty quick here.....
I would say Tom Coughlin, as always, but, a contact close to the Giants Organization tells me that the Mara Family will never fire him. He will be allowed to resign on his terms..... So, skip him, I guess....
Speaking of the Mara Family, the lovely and talented Kate Mara is in "The Martian"... Of course we all remember her from the classic film "Shooter".... Wait, what?? Some of you didn't see "Shooter"??? How dare you.... Don't even talk to me....
Bad QB Update: Bears fans never liked Smokin Jay Cutler like they do now.... Not after Jimmy Clausen's epic performance! hahahahahah! All punts! Not even a kneel down to end a half! Unbelievable.... Their 3rd stringer is the aptly named David Fales.... Yikes. GM Malpractice, right there.... You have to have some kind of viable backup somewhere..... Packers found that out the hard way....
Backup QB Update:
Okay, I've had a lot of fun over the years claiming that Backup QB is the greatest job in the Universe.... And, I'm inclined to stick with that. My premise all along has been, you hang around, get paid a lot of money, and, if you do have to go into a game, if you are basically competent, the fans love you.
Jimmy Clausen, uhhh, was not competent. But the checks still cash, I will note...
For at least a year now, I have felt that Charlie Whitehurst was leading the most charmed life of any NFL Backup. He's also the son of former Packer David Whitehurst, but we won't hold that against him.... btw, Charlie Whitehurt also has the dubious distinction of wanting the Punter's number, in Tennessee. They agreed to arm wrestle for it, and he lost. To the Punter. I am not kidding. (That story has since been denied by all parties, but....) Whitehurst is currently with the Titans, in case you were wondering... let's take a look:
I'm not gonna lie, I LOVE the 3-year hiatus, where he is out of football...... That takes mad skills....
For that amazing stat line, he will have earned $17.3 million dollars, by the end of this year..... Heh heh! Not too shabby. 20 appearances, 9 starts....
However, the title probably has to go to the Immortal Matt Flynn. Former (twice) Packer Backup, who we all remember beat the Lions in a hard fought game week 17....
Check this out:
He spent a minute with New England this summer, and is now with the Jets, on a $1 million dollar deal.
Which brings his total to: $19.6 million dollars..... whoa.
Greatest job in Football. Good work, if you can get it.
Anyways, good luck, and enjoy week 5!!!!!
