Year 4
Week 1 and 2
Good day Pool Boys!
We
are off to a great start this year. I
want to first start off by welcoming the newcomers. Nick “Still Politically Incorrect” Seed (don’t
ever change btw), Sean “I’m groping teenagers in a run down bungalow that I
pretend is a fraternity in NM” Belding and Mike “I’ll probably stupidly try and
pick the Cowboys twice” Weiss. From each
of you I need some sort of terrible terrible picture of yourself for the
blog. What I mean by this is I need
something that if a future employer ever stumbled upon this page you wouldn’t
ever find a job again. Get to it.
It’s been a stressful two weeks so far in the pick em
league. Almost every single game that
has been chosen has gone down to the wire.
Pats v Bills, Colts v Al Davis’ Ghost (how was this game close?!). Week 2 had Houston v Tenn (you lucky
bastards), Baltimore v the mistake by
the lake (and no that wasn’t a jab at Trent’s sexual conquests), Pats v Jets. I’m not sure how all of these sure things are
becoming difficult to pick, but someone is going out this week. I can feel it. This is why the NFL is better than college football, and no its not because I'm a depressed Beaver fan.
Quick Recap!
20 people are still partying!
8 People have a strike against them
12 People are flawless
Week 1
Pick of the week!
Eh…Detroit I guess.
First game at the start of the season in conference is not usually a
great way to roll, but in picking against Christian Ponder I trust…
Worst Pick of the Week
Tigard Trash folk Sean Belding and Erik Weiss! I didn’t expect much from you, Erik as its
about par for the course for you to make a bad decision early on, but Sean
Belding??? Aren’t you like a nuclear
engineer smart guy? Come on man, Josh
Freeman? Greg Schiano? What the hell have those guys given you over
the years? He didn't even show up for team pictures. You think he's staying up late reading the playbook? Do me a favor. With your future picks don’t go ask your
fraternity bro’s who you think is a lock that week. I have a hard time believing football
intelligence is something easy to come across in a place like New Mexico. If you want to hear some yokel froth about
how good Romo and the Cowboys are and how he got prodded by aliens once then by
all means; he’s probably an expert. He may even be able to tell you fun facts about Climate Change (is that what its called now?), but I wouldn't let them tell you about much else other then those 3 very true and believable things.
Let’s keep this moving to week 2 as I don’t have much time
to write this because I’m not paying for internet after 1 at this trade show and I’ve got a lot of
mouth breathers wondering what this device is.
Pick of the Week!
Fox’s Chiefs coverage.
Nothing like Michelle Tafoya telling you that Tony Romo is eating a
Chewy Granola Bar (nope, not joking).
The real question here should have been why this Chewy Granola bar wasn’t
immediately shoved into Jerry Jones’ mouth.
Chewy stops the chatter, you guys.
Anyways, congrats to JWarren for picking the Raiders. I will continue to invite fake work friends
to this league until I win damnit.
Worst Pick of the Week!
There are two this week.
I’ll start with the Cowboys.
Mike, I’m glad you are in the league buddy. We always need that irrational Cowboys fan to
keep things incredibly irrational. Fortunately,
this year that doesn’t require someone threatening people’s lives and not
paying, cause Mike paid. Next year I’m
going to make a clause that if you are a Cowboys fan you can pick the Cowboys
as many times as you want. It will
always only be twice. You also have to pay double for the privilege. Good deal! Honest!
Next are all you chumps who picked the Eagles!!! Let’s roll call shall we? Paul Barth, John
Galmiche, Justin Belding, Bobby Philbrook and Trent Striplin. Just impeccable guys. You really love the media hype machine. Nothing like listening to Linda Cohen tell you how much of a lock that game is for that high flying Eagles offense. Actually, I expected it from a few of you,
like Belding and Bobby being huge Duck homers, but I expected more from you Barth
and Trent. You’re Beaver fans (Trent
much more than others), get your crap together.
Remember, this is the same team who brought everyone back from last year and even
lost pieces. There are 3 huge warning
signs here. 1 being that Ron Mexico is
still your starting QB and when he inevitably gets hurt from running this
offense Nick Foles comes in. Can’t wait
to see that speed keep defenses off balance.
2) Chip Kelly still has bitch tits.

| Look at the stance! Those pants! |
3 don’t ever bet on a mediocre to bad team playing against a
guy willing to pull this desperate shit.
Yes, not once but two times.
Phillip Rivers everybody. Give
Dan a call and try and let him talk you into how good of a person he still is.
Leaving the Party...
No goodbyes yet this year, but we got 8 hot seats
already. Erik Weiss and Paul Barth in
their usual spots. Congrats to Belding
and Heiny for making it past week 3 this year!
Yeeehaw! Donk trophy is coming!
Next week’s writer is Dan Fitzpatrick! I’d say send him your picks, but you don’t
need to anymore and you would still send them to me anyways. Remember when you assholes sent them to me on
my wedding night and Honeymoon and wondered why you weren’t getting
updates? Just thought I’d bring it back
up…
Don’t forget your picks this week. Good job on doing it in advance this week,
Neil.

Fun stat of the week…we’ve had 5,000 page views. 5,000 views mostly in the US of people seeing
sex toys in Erik’s face, Trent peeing, and PK flexing. Oh, and for whatever reason we have hits in
Russia.
