Actually 2 losses Winston. The Detroit/Minnesota game and the Tennessee/Cleveland game are loses. But I still have 11 wins so far!

Now let's hope New England comes through for me tonight!

Been a good week for us, Lixy! Hope this helps to make up for the shitbomb last week. how did MCP do this week?

Holy S**t! New England choked big time, eh?

Oh well...I'm still 11/14. All in all it was a pretty good week. Good to know you faired well too LAW! How'd everyone else do?

Dunno about MCP yet. I do know we had 2 different picks this week and one of them was the Eagles. He had Philly...lmfao! I am thinking the other may have been Indianapolis (not sure though). We may have tied but I won't know till this afternoon.

I'll get back to ya when I know! I'll be getting the new pool today as well so...here we go again!

Stay tuned!

P.S. What are your feelings about T.O. getting the boot from the Eagles?

I feel like he got what he wanted all along and he had it coming fore all his antics this year. It's a shame to lose such a good player. He is full of himself and so I hope he can find a team that only needs one player...Terrel Owens!

Does anyone know where he would prefer to play? And...this doesn't make him a free agent, does it? Are there teams interested in him knowing how he is?

I tell ya...he'd not make a good Musketeer! LOL!

TO is a superdouche that deserved what he had coming. If you or I acted like that at our jobs, we'd have been fired way before. Philly will not pick him up again next year, so it's my understanding that he now become a free agent at the end of the season. I can't say if anyone else will pick him up or not. He got canned from San Fransisco for doing the same shit and Baltimore passed because of it as well. This is the third team he's managed to piss off - that says something and people are noticing. Any team that picks him up deseres what they get. But some teams are going to be desperate at the end of the season.

*EDIT - it just occured to me that Green Bay will be one of those desperate teams, and maybe they will pick him up. If that happens, we'll have to see how much TO really DOES like playing with Brett Farve as QB.

DOUBLEDIT - that is, if Green Bay doesn't can Farve at the end of this season...

I don't think Green Bay will "can" Brett Favre. He's likely to retire, been talking about it publicly for a good 2-3 years already. He's proving what we all should know already, the QB can't make a team - only make it stronger or weaker. Look at who he has on the other end of the ball on the offense - and how helpful the defense has been... the team has a lot of weaknesses and Brett isn't one of them. I'm not familar with the salary TO makes, but I'm willing to bet it's outside of what Green Bay would pay.

I forget, Lixy, what is the consequence of losing this bet? Does it involve you stripping completely, and running through the field of view of all the security cameras in your workplace?

MCP and I went 11/14 this week! I'm still down (by 3) but not out!

He was pretty smug today about the Indianapolis game. He picked Indy and had the total points for the game right on (61). Had to keep rubbing it in whenever I passed him too...but he wasn't the weekly winner so I made a point of saying, "The outcome of a game DOES NOT make a winner in the whole scheme of things"! Hey! It was off the cuff and the only thing I could come up with...lmfao!

Heard more from T.O. today too! Suddenly he wants to appoligize to all who he was asked to appoligize to before they let him go. BUT...this was his appology today...(paraphrasing)...I feel as though I need to appologize to the fans, my teammates, and to Donovan McNabb.

I ask you...If you feel as though you need to appologize, don't ya just say it..."I APPOLIGIZE!" He never said "sorry"...he never said "I appoligize to these people"...he just said he feels as though he should! SEMANTICS! He's full of SHIT! He isn't sorry for his past antics...he's just sorry the team let him go!

As far as money...they are witholding $800.000.00 for the four games he was suspended on for fighting in the locker room and they are trying to get his $1.5 million dollar signing bonus back. After that, they have to pay him till the end of the season.

It's been said that he was a cancer for the team since his manager (Drew...somethingorother) picked him up this season. Anyone besides me think Drew has steered him wrong so early in his career?



OK...nuff about that! On to this week's match-up's!

You know, I really thought they were going to play better than that. They just don't have the people right now. Sorry.





The thing that I don't think is getting enough attention is that this is a pattern, he did it in San Francisco, he did it last year, and in the preseason. He's a good player, but he doesn't seem to realize that it's a team sport. And pissing off the guy getting the ball to you, isn't going to help you get the ball.
I hope nobody is desperate enough to pick him up, but of course, someone will think that they'll be able to work with him. Enjoy sitting out this year TO.

Dallas @ Philadelphia - Dallas
Ok, I know Philly fucks us every week. This might just give them another opportunity to do it, but Dallas has (unfortunately) been playing really well this year. Philly is not at all focused, and I think that Dallas can pull it off. Somebody convicne her that i"m wrong - i really really want to be wrong!

No need to be sorry fred! I get good feedback from you guys, but I make the final choices. Please don't ever feel bad for the banter here. It's fun and no matter what happens I'll still have had a good time. I hope you all will too!

*hugs*

As to T.O. It's been duely noted (over and over again...here, in my area at least) of his behavior over the years. He's gotten worse since this Drew dude took over his management. And it seems to me he might have a lot of YES men/women hanging out in his posse'. Much like Michael Jackson, no one cares about him enough to tell him to stop making an ass of himself and ruining what could be a brilliant career.

One of the worst things I heard him say to the press was something like (paraphrasing again)...I'm the best player this team has and I deserve more money. I'm like anyone else...I'm just trying to feed my family!

This ^^^ from a man who makes millions for playing a game! Granted...it's a tough game...but ALL the players are in it the same as him.

Also, I wonder if he knows the plight of the homeless people in the town he makes so much money in? If he could walk a mile in their shoes I think he'd consider his salary satisfactory for the time being!

And whatever happened to holding yourself responsible for signing a contract? In these times a contract doesn't seem to mean didley squat. What's the purpose? A signature and/or a handshake used to mean something. People used to stand behind what they signed. Now they just disregard it on a whim. The more the disregard is tolerated, the less a signature means! So...why have anyone sign anything?

OMG! *looks down at the soapbox under my feet*

How'd that get there? LOL!

Are you sure about the Denver - Oakland game, LAW? I don't know if Oakland is good enough to stop them and they had the week off to prep.
I think you're right about Dallas. I just don't think Philly has the weapons right now.

Nope not sure about that one. Going with oakland becuase they've been on a streak (momentum) and have a solid defense. They don't turn over the ball much, and i think that's what's going to pull them through, regardless of the fact that Denver had a bye last week.
But I could always be wrong.

EDIT - Went back and reevaluated. I'm wrong - take Denver. I don't know WTF I was thinking.

Hiya Guys!

I've gotta say...I am right there with you LAW! And I am so glad you made your reevaluation (Denver/Oakland) cause I feel squirmy when I have to go against anyone who knows so much more about football than me. So...WHEW!

TY fred...for making her take a second look (if that IS indeed what happened)!

Herein lies my dilemma. I am bouncing, like a superball, back and forth from Dallas to Philly...

BECAUSE...(and ya'll [<---testing my Texas accent in print] can tell me if I'm nuttier than a fruitcake)

I keep feeling like the Eagles are feeling a major need to PROVE to their fans and to T.O. and Andrew (fuckyhead) and to the owners and coaches and especially to the naysayers who all felt T.O. shouldn't have been treated this way...and to anyone of any concern around the country, that they CAN DO IT without T.O.... regardless of the rookies and the injuries. And I'll reiterate what Philly feels about Dallas...THEY ARE OUR BIGGEST RIVAL IN THE NFL (for some reason that I am not privvy to).

With that said...Dallas has the potential to KILL PHILLY! Both teams have something to prove in this game! FUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK...I can't bring myself to make a choice!

Here's my final choices thus far...(take note I am right there with you guys till Monday Night)

New England
NY Giants
Washington
Jacksonville
Indianapolis
Detroit
Kansas City
Chicago
Denver
Carolina
Seattle
Atlanta
Pittsburg

MONDAY NIGHT

Dallas...NO! Philadelphia...NO! Dallas...NO! Philadelphia...I swear peeps I am damned no matter what I do!

Know what's gonna happen? A coin toss for sure!

Curses to the friggin Philly/Dallas rivalry!

You guys HAVE to help me with the total score (combined score of both teams for the Monday night game...it's the tie breaker when pool players have the same amount of winning teams)...C'mon...gimme something!

Be back tomorrow morning (with my final Monday Night choice) as I suffer through tonight and make my choice via coin toss upon coin toss! LMFAO!

XXXOOO

BTW...can anyone think of why an Eagle would dislike a Cowboy?

And...if we were playing "rock, paper, scissors" in a sense...would the Coyboy win or would the Eagle win?

I'm thinking the Eagle could shit on the Cowboy's head...therefore, pissing him off enough to rope that eagle neck and pull him to the ground! Eh?

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! Make me stop thinking!

Well, if that Cowboy has a gun, the Eagle is fucked.

This is cracking me up. Have you consulted the magic 8 ball yet? :jump:
