Week 9 and 10 (The Tie), Losers Re- Up

 Men, switching the format up this week.  We’ve got a lot to cover and hardly any of it has to do with picking football games.  Now let’s get to hungry eyes.  I must say I’ve never been more disappointed in a group of men.  Not one guess.  Not one guess at all.  Shameful, because these were the hungriest of eyes and you will all agree once you see this.  Those hungry eyes belong too....




 Marcus’ Arnold’s niece’s Daddy!!!  Lindsay Arnold forever unclean!   Now someone debate me how those aren’t the hungriest of eyes?  Look at the intent, the lust, the longing!  Baby daddy’s.  Gotta love em!  Stuuuupendous. 


Now down to business.  After talking with others it sounds like more people may be in town for Thanksgiving than Christmas so we decided we are having the first ever Pool Boy Pick Em Turkey Bowl sponsored by Marcus’ niece (soon to be Niece as she isn’t alive yet if you live in Bobby or Nick’s world).  We are going to play at the same field we did last year (Dan, can we get a sanitation AKA Goose poop check this weekend?) at I’m thiking 930 Friday after Thanksgiving.  This should one be enough time to get up as hopefully we all have a job these days that require waking before that hour, and it’s the day after Thanksgiving which we shouldn’t be missing half of you like last year because you couldn’t handle your ish.  I’m looking at you Millar.  Lamb showed up last year drunk and I dare say he may have been MVP.  Now this is tackle again gentlemen.  We’re keeping this tradition alive until someone’s leg falls off like Nick Lamb’s in PE.  So yet again you get another year of me throwing a ball at a wall jokes (go on, write it in the comment section, get it out), Heinrich’s not showing up because he decided to play with GU guys, Kevin Clarke hurting someone because he never learned to tackle and just DDT’s people, Bobby throwing grenades (Bobby being all time QB last year might have been the best decision we ever made), Bobby actually making a tackle???  Ok, I’m foreshadowing.  This guy has been diving at people’s feet more and more each year, it’s gonna happen.  I can feel it!  Someone will trip.  And to believe that guy played defense in HS.  Anyways, the game is on.  We need a head count.  We need a sanitation check, and we need Capri suns.  Who’s going to take Missy home the night before so we can have orange slices and Squeeze It’s on game day?  Trent, Marcus…looking at you bro’s.

On to week 9!  And the Commish’s Ruling for Week 10

There was only 1 person that lost this week, but I figured he deserved his own post.  That’s right gentlemen.  It’s all tied up!  Bobby Philbrook goes down!  His first loss of the season and what a glorious one!  The best part is he thought it was in the bag as it was revealed to me Bobby doesn’t read the post.  He assumed since he was stuck in his yahoo world there were only 3 people left with him.  The same guy who tried to steal and ruin this league doesn’t even read the posts!  Now it all makes sense.  Most of us here are for the camaraderie, but this guy is just straight in it for the duckets.  Friendships be damned. So we salute you sir.  While an impressive streak you are just like every other chump in here, except now you realize you at least have to look at the standings for this thing.  Thank you for literally making my post these two weeks.  I had nothing to write without you.  Also, the Redskins?  You put your first strike on the line because you wanted Obama to win that badly?  Guess we will really see how that works out for ya in 4 years.

Week 10

This last week we saw a tie for the first time in our extensive history and for the first time this year people showed real interest in what was going on.  Joe Church, Bobby, everyone came out of the wood works.  What happens with a tie?!  We wouldn’t be in this mess if the Niners had just played a decent game or if the Rams could have just held on.  With all of that said, get that back up qb in there Niners.  Dude, looked decent, fast and way better then Alex Smith.  Time to take the next step…calm down Nick!  No…don’t call my home phone and yell at my Mom over this.  Relax its not personal!  Chill out! Don’t use the comment section to blast me for this (use the comment section guys)! He isn’t your brother, I promise you have no blood lines!!!  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Well I guess it comes down to the old commish.  I was weighing my options, really relying on my conscious, trying to block out all the outside noises.  Mostly Bobby pleading with me to give Paul Andrews a strike.  The guy has a back bone that would make Paul Wilson’s wang look big. Anyways, my ruling is it isn’t a loss per say and I was surprised I had neglected to put it in the rules previously.  Error on my part.  My ruling is that if you picked the Rams to lose or the Niners to win you aren’t out, yet.  It wasn’t a loss and if you are a Niner’s fan certainly not a victory, but I have a hard time counting that as an out.  I went back to the rules and I never stated picking a winner, it was more along the lines of don’t pick a loser, to which no one lost.  Now before the 7 guys still in the Pick Em get in a huff over what happened, realize had I ruled in the opposite direction it would have benefited my chances to win the Re Up league as many people picked the Rams to lose and I did not.  It could have been easy money.  Anyways, I’m sure it will make people unhappy one way or the other, but that is the direction I’m going.  I’m not Goodell so a decent argument could sway me and I leave it open to discussion.  Leave your comments in the comment section.  Post written by email will be discredited and not read (much like anything Paul Wilson writes). 

Anyways here are the picks.

Uneventful.  The amount of people that should have been hosed by the Niners and Steelers is upsetting.

Hungry EYES!

That’s right folks another week another set of…..Hunnnngry Eeeyyyeeess.  Que the sleezy sax please.  These eyes are also some of the hungriest we have ever seen in our brief Pick Em history.  Men watch out.  These eyes could devour you, especially a few in particular.  Get the right pick and you may win a prize!  Go get those hungry eyes!


So much want...


  
To finish.  Re Uppers I need payment.  I need responses for football.  I need hungry eyes picks or ideas.  And I need to call Dan and Belding out for yet to write a post.  Until further notice it is your job and you are failing!  How many weeks has it been Dan?!

Also, the Niners shirt is not up for grabs.  I needed at least 10 people to be willing to part with it and 8 isn’t enough.

Enjoy your weekend.  I look forward to seeing you all on Friday!
