Welcome back Poolsters! Time for a duel weeks pick em post! Actually, not really. As I wrote before did you really think you were getting a post from last week? I mean seriously…I spent the next 3 days before the refs came back deliberating between “shutting it down, let’s go home” (envision your best Nowitzki voice, but with crying), how to send PayPal money overseas, having everyone who lost that week win and everyone who won that week lose (my top choice by the way and still debatable), going into cahoots with Ben Clark (Sophomore year NCAA Tournament style). Which by the way Ben…why in all the people that would have gladly stolen 3 dollars a piece from; a whopping $21 pot (you’ve really moved on from to bigger and better things when it comes to stiffing people by the way) would you go in to cahoots with Rob Castelano? I mean, you could have chosen anyone of us! Even I was corruptible then before I became the moral beacon I am today.
Anyways, I spent most of last week feeling as helpless and angry as the time we played Beaverton senior year watching “ The White Mike Vick” over throw a wide open Slade Norris for two quarters. Just a helpless feeling only made worst by a Paul Wilson saying at least he ran for a bunch of yards, don’t worry about all the sacks guys; oh crap, I mean Seahawks fans calling saying it was legit. Who would have thought after all this was said and done only Pat Kelly was the reasonable Seahawks fan I talked too. Glad I was reminded why I’m glad they never have won a Super Bowl.
For the record. I always posted on Weds the first year we did this too. Not sure why everyone ever thought this was a Monday night football thing. And to you specifically, Paul Wilson. You can’t threaten me with your money like I have to do this as part of my pay. I know if we were all paying you for this league you’d be skimping a little somethin off the top, then act like you don’t know what we are talking about, however, I don’t do that. If you don’t want to pay that is your choice, but you can’t blame me because you suck at sticking around this league more than 5 weeks and that I have now posted 3 out of 4 weeks. PayPal takes 5 seconds, Wilson. A man with potentially 2 or 3 degrees such as you can surely figure that out right? Anyways, not trying to be a total dick (just sort of), but if you don’t it is $90 for next year. Not scary at all right? That’s the point, it is as baseless as your lack of payment, however, up until Bobby tried to up heave me this summer I’m still the one that puts any work into this and when we play next year I’ll remember.
Anyways, here are your picks last week. Oh and Barth? I know you switched your pick from picking the Seagals last week, but you would have had an L regardless.

I will say 2 things and then move on. Really Lamb? You put your life on the line with Cleveland Browns??? And I’m still upset with Jubitz. The dude got drunkenly away with picking the Raiders in week 3. Drunkenly mailed the pick in with his life on the line.
Another week by and a boring 1 at that. But with a boring week comes people that forget, providing the only reason I have something to write about. Should I have written a lot last week? Yes, I should and could have. Nearly everyone lost, but I’m not going to. It’s going into the a dark place deep within me along with all the N bombs Trent recently dropped and all the slander that you guys heap on me year after year. Deserved by the way…
Quick Recap!
14 People are still Partying
11 People have a strike against them
3 People are still Flawless
1 Person lost this week
9 People are F’in Out!
Pick of the Week!
Uh….Zahler and Jubitz! Very thrilling the whole league picks the Ravens and Zahler and Neil pick two teams that should/ did win in a blow out. Anyways, congrats for pussin out everyone!
Worst Pick of the Week
Joe Church for forgetting! Our customer service department is a well oiled machine if you haven't noticed. Joe, did you get Brett Favre’s boots out this week? Did you mail out any catalogs for the reps? Nope….

Time to Say Goodbye!
Joe Church goes home swiftly. After forgetting nearly two weeks in a row we are all left to wonder if his future wife caught wind of one of these blog posts and said he can never do it again. That’s where I cast my vote. Anyways, goodbye you Mink; (that’s what Wilson was trying to say in his email right?) we appreciate the donation and will see you next year!
Tomorrow the league is upon us again. Don’t forget your picks like this schlup above and remember there is a Thursday Night game. Little confession; I thought I was so slick by getting that Thursday pick in last week thinking everyone would forget. I mean come on, it was a good assumption. If I didn’t send a text out last year none of you renob’s would have made it past week 3 and here you all are dropping it in Thursday night! Amazing. I’m a proud and degenerate poppa. 1 more confession, definitely wrote this whole blog with the impression the champ forgot and was down. He wasn't, just lost it in a group text. Whoops! Oh well, if something seems amiss in the last few paragraphs....it probably is.
Happy Pickings,
The McPoolMaster
UPDATE: Joe politely reminded me today after the post that he did in fact text me on Friday. Got photo evidence if need be. Pats for Joe, means no one lost this week. Wamp Wamp. In other news I will literally just repaste my F'in out post when Joe does inevitably lose.
