[StoneTheCrow]

Ooops......I forgot to get in on this.  Next time.

[jrho]

Woo, made it through week 1!

[eros]

Stupid motherfucking Colts.

That was a bold pick.

[ggw]

And by "bold" you mean "dumb"

[Cock Van Der Palm]

or if by "bold" you mean "expensive."

So I'm sitting at the bar on Saturday night and I'm talking to vinniethefish.  So I say to vinnie, "You're going to follow my theory right? We've been talking about this for years." 

"Nah," he says. "I don't want to tie with you - I want to beat you!"

"Let me assure you of one thing," I reply. "Nobody wins this pool in the first week, but you can sure lose it.  Don't do anything stupid."

He picked the Niners, on the road, with Alex Smith at the helm.  Good lord.

well I have to say that this week had me completely baffled, and I got very very lucky...in fact, I was one controversial call away from being out as well

there was no easy pick like usually

[Venerable Bede]

well I have to say that this week had me completely baffled, and I got very very lucky...in fact, I was one controversial call away from being out as well

at the beginning of the chicago game, cutler threw a pass that was incomplete, and the announcer said, "a poor pass by jay cutler."  i told my wife, "heh, that's not the only time we're gonna hear that this season."  course, he hasn't yet had a so poorly thrown pass called for intentional grounding like kyle orton did a couple of years ago.

I don't know why everybody hates on Cutler.  I'm sure you love him now?  I love, love, LOVE the guy.  My favorite football player in....forever.  I love him like Neko Case in a half slip.  My Super Bowl pick before the season was Bears over Colts.

I seriously considered joining the high rollers pool and now I'm glad I didn't.  Because if I had won with Atlanta the first week, I would have picked....Tennessee this week.  Not that I think the Steelers are the worst team in the league....but.....come on.  They're down to their FOURTH QB.  They're THIS close to signing Neil O'Donnell or Bubby Brister.
