Week 5 Rewind

I knew it would happen.  I didn't know when or who, but we all knew that soon enough someone would not make picks. Usually it happens with Chad in like week 1, or with Daniel in week 4 but this year it was my own family in week 5.

If you don't come to the games, you're not going to play.

So I got to wondering, why wouldn't Bridget make picks......? Here's a couple of theories.

1) I bet that Bridget heard the news that NASA was blowing up the moon last weekend and thought...."how can anyone care about football when Obama is sending a missile to blow up the moon!? the sky is falling, the sky is falling."

or,

2) I bet that Bridget was told about the FBI searching Drivers License photos now to try to find fugitives and then had to spend her time at the DMV fighting all the 16 year olds trying to get her License photo changed.

FYI - a lot of different agencies have access to DMV information. I can even look up DMV info. So next time you are going to get a License update you might consider doing it in disguise, for instance I just found Jonathan's license info... New Driver's License by Jeremy Grasz.
Looks just like him, maybe we should start calling him Jeremy.


Pick of the Week - I want to use this segment to bash Stephen the Seahawk. The pick of the week was clearly the Seahawks over the lowly Jags. The Grand Poobah, M.S..S. and The Chairman all got this right while the rest of you got it WRONG. 
- Notice that the guy who named his team "Superbowl Bound SEAHAWKS" didn't even pick this game right. You're team name is SEAHAWKS and you don't think that your team can beat a under performing Jag team that had to fly further than any other team will have to fly this year for a road game while your starting QB was coming back after being injured. I'm telling you, I don't see how Seahawk jumped out to this big lead this year.

Player of the Week - Chief Red Beard, old 4th St himself. Last week he was shoveling fertilizer and now he is being fanned with palm leaves and hand fed grapes from super models. Such is the story of the life of Sir William Chadwick Bugg.
I remember a story like this, once upon a time Chad Bugg was going to some 3rd world country to help the less fortunate. A week or two passes and we are all wondering how he is doing so Chad sends us an email with a picture of himself. Open the picture and this dope is sitting in a leather recliner with a glass of sweet tea, in front of the largest HD plasma TV I had ever seen. That's just life for Chad Bugg with the downs come the ups. 

Loser of the Week - I can't beat up on my little sister any more so I'll have to just simply say that this week Uncle Matty, Perry, Puddin and Stapleton are all losers. I mean these guys picked teams like Jacksonville, Washington, and Houston. What were you guys thinking. It was a close week score wise but you guys were on the bottom. Like I always say the further you fall back in the pack to more likely you are to be staring directly at another guys butt.

Tips for Winning....At Life - Never Say Never
I have learned that a marriage is like a business partnership. The kind of business where one person owns 50.1% of the controlling interest and the other owns 49.9%. Now, you don't realize before hand how much two tenths of a percentage really matters and sometimes you forget that this deal isn't actually 50/50.
Then you go off to the golf course and you start making fun of the guys your golfing with because they have to get back early so they can take their wives to an "Apple Festival" and your saying stuff like "I am NOT going to no Apple Festival"...or..."Just go ahead and take triple bogey on the back nine so you can leave and have more time at the Apple Festival"...or...."I'll go to that Apple Festival over my dead body and a empty box of ammo". Saying things like that will really come back to haunt you when those same guys see you later carrying a diaper bag, a pocket book and shopping bags while pushing a stroller at the Apple Festival.


As always, I love you guys.

The Chairman

Here's my take aways from Week 5 in the K&S challenge:

A. 9 games were washes since everybody in the league picked those games...some right, some wrong.

B. That means 5 games mattered this week. In those 5 games, only three or two players went against the crowd.

C. Why so many people jumped on the Jaguars band wagon is beyond me. I was picking Seattle even if Seneca Wallace was the starting QB.

D. The Bengals and the Patriots are still my two teams that I cannot predict this year. Cincy has caused me to lose this tournament for the past two years, but I need that to change now. Next week they play the Texans. That game could go either way.

E. It seems less people are taking risks this year in the challenge. I think it's because of the economy and we are scraping for every last dollar...not really. It's because there are some teams that are just so terrible and some teams that are just too good. It's a relatively close race, and we're less likely to take chances given that fact.

For example, I had Miami picked to win against the Jets until Monday morning. I knew that was a game where everybody would select Jets. I thought Miami could win, but I played it safe because the risk was too great if I lost.

F. I predict the scores will vary more next week. Competitive match ups fill the schedule: NYG vs NO, Minn vs Balt, Seattle vs Arizona, ATL takes on Chicago, and Denver verses the Super Chargers to name a few.

G. SuperBowl Bound Seahawks is the person in the league that still has double digit scores through week 5, hence the reason he's winning.

H. Out of 13 players, 7 of us either tied our low or had our lowest score in week 5.

I. 5 people are tied for second, and 3 people are tied for seventh, and 2 people for tenth.
