I said I was gonna keep up on the blog more....
It's only week 6.... Don't push me. I've been a little busy.
Wow. What a crazy season... And we're just getting started....
Let's get started here....
SURVIVOR POOL:
Ahhh yes, the Survivor Pool. I'm sure some of you noticed that I had 2 entries... And they both LOST, Week One. Yep! Nice.... Wow. That one stung a little bit, I'm not gonna lie....
On the plus side, if anyone thought the "fix was in", uhh, clearly, it is not... My results in the Confidence Pool bear that out as well. I am stinking.
Anyways, The Survivor Pool is OVER! We have winners!
DUKEWARR, ELUSIVE, and PACKATTACK20 will split the prize pool 3 ways.
Congrats to all of you! Well done.
I loved the picks, to be honest. Atlanta?? No way Atlanta loses at home. Nah. Not happening. And Denver? Please. No way they lose.
So, yeah. Over, before week 6 was even complete.... Wow.
CONFIDENCE POOL
Alright, yes, the Confidence Pool is back....
Let's run down the winners, real quick here....
Week One: Brady 01! In a tiebreaker, of 1 point. One lousy point. Wow. Elusive is not happy about that 1 point. Badgergil was right there also. More on that later.....
Week Two: Badgergil!!! See? There was more on that later. Toldja. And another tiebreaker!!! Phanatic Philly Phan was not happy about that one.... Doug Pederson, getting it done in Philly. the former Packer Backup to Brett Favre....
Week Three: Big Headed Holy Rollers! Hahah! Thankfully, they survived the hurricane in Florida with minimal damage to their home, so that's good. No tiebreaker was necessary, big win.
I'm starting to think only people with "B" as the first letter of the username can win. Maybe Brougham76 would be a better username for me....
Week Four: Elusive! See? More on that later. Maybe you don't need a B in your username.... Let the record show I was tied for the lead after Thursday, I had 16 on the Pack... One shining moment, right?? Hahahah! Yeah, right....
Week Five: Elusive!!! The Rare Back To Back!!! Nicely done.... And, no kidding, he could triple. Indy is winning right now, as I type. If Indy wins, it's 3 in a row. Unreal.
RANDOM THOUGHTS
About a month ago, Roger says "We might have to look at full time officials, because of gambling". Uh huh. Oh really. Yeah, when I look at the full time officials in the NBA, I mean, wow, paragons of virtue, right there.... omg.... facepalm... Yikes. Has anyone bothered to explain the Ideal Gas Law to Roger yet? No? Just checking....
I should mention, I was at US Bank Stadium, Minneapolis Minnesota, for the Vikings Lions game. super nice facility. Lets in a lot of light. A lot of glass up there....
And, uhh, that place is loud. I've been to rock concerts that were not as loud as that game.... Was a good time though. My sister got us great seats.
The Giants are imploding.... The Fraud that is Eli Manning, out there doing what he does.... Somewhere, Tom Coughlin is having a little snicker, I'm sure....
Aaron Rodgers, probably done for the year.... Ugh. I didn't like the hit. I thought a few years ago, they specifically wrote it in there, no driving the QB to the ground.... So yeah, when I say Season Over, that is season over.... Rodger's amazing play, week in & week out, papers over a lot of the flaws on this team.... And, could Bennett please drop more passes? This guy has hands of stone, I'm not kidding....
I also have never liked the 2 challenges... Longtime players will remember my epic rant after the Cardinals Steelers Super Bowl. The officiating was so bad, Whisenhunt ended up using all his challenges in the first quarter. It's real simple, if you win the challenge, you don't lose it.... McCarthy of course, uses his challenges in the first half... I mean, some basic strategery would tell you, that hey, you better save one for the second half, when it might REALLY MATTER. Ugh.
It didn't really matter, but still....
Can I say I love Tony Romo in the booth?? I love Tony in the booth. Fantastic.
Packers Fans are already saying "We should get Romo!!!!" Sure, yeah, that'd be great, but, he's got arguably the best gig in Football right now, and it pays beautifully, and, nobody is trying to kill you, or break your NASA re-engineered spine.... So, yeah, note to Packer Nation: Tony Romo is NOT walking through that door.... No. What we have, is Brett Hundley. And, I'm gonna go out on a limb, and say that NOBODY will be comparing him to Jimmy Garopollo 3 weeks from now....
I've heard some Jason Garrett bashing lately, and I don't like it, to be honest. I'm not sure what they think he could do differently.... That Packer game, they held the ball for like 13 minutes in the 4th quarter, went on a 62 play drive, and scored the go-ahead touchdown with like a minute and change on the clock. I've heard Cowboys fans saying "aww, that was waaay too much time, what a bonehead!!!"
Look, #1, they were losing at the time. They NEED a TD. Dak is running free, he has to score. And, I mean, they DO have Defensive players, who by rule, will be allowed to play defense, when the Packers get the ball.... Would it be too much to ask to have your defense make a play??? I'm not sure what Jason Garrett could have done better there. It's not like he "botched" it, or anything.... Rodgers just happens to be an alien from another planet, who can go get a TD there with no time left....
Hue Jackson is now 1-21 as Coach of the Cleveland Browns.... Let that sink in for a second....
Alright, good luck next week!!!!
