So, a lot is going on this week. A lot of famous athletes are doing things we never thought they would get caught doing. For instance:
Michael Vick played a game in the Georgia Dome this week and ended up with a PERFECT QB rating. Didn't see that one coming.
Allen Iverson had a press conference in Philadelphia where he cried like a little girl who lost her lollipop. I liked it better when he simply said "Practice, … we talkin bout Practice?" over and over.
Tiger Woods drove one into the water first and then into the trees. I've seen a lot of drives go off tree into the water but never out of the water into the tree.
Player of the Week – Perry made a statement this week. A silent statement, being a mute and all. I know that a lot of us were expecting him to fall off this week like his hero Brett Favre did but Perry is more of a man than that sissy Wrangler Jeans model will ever be. Perry dominated the field this week to the tune of a remarkable 12 points. This came just at the right time to keep him in the hunt. Looks like there is a legitimate 3 man race for the Championship this year and my money's on Perry. (or Pipkin (just anyone but BadNewz)). Pick of the Week – None of your people's picks really impressed me this week so I am going to give this to Puddin (longhorns) for his pick-up in the fantasy league. Two weeks ago Puddin picked-up Alex Smith for his fantasy team. These last two weeks Smith has had 542 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. That's some good fantasy numbers, not enough to beat The Chairman, but a pretty good pick.
For all of you who are not in the fantasy league you should consider it next year. Lots of fun and a very close competition so far this year.
Loser of the Week – This is a homecoming. Stapleton takes his familiar place on the throne of loserhood. Kind of like getting back on your home toilet after being out of town for a few days, it just feels right. Stapleton can always be counted on to pick the Falcons, especially when Ron Mexico is going to be on the field. The thing that really makes him the Loser this week is the Tennessee pick. Take my advice folks, don't pick the Colts to lose unless, Peyton is going to be on the bench because they have locked up the top place or until after they have lost a game. Take it from me.
The facts are in and new beats old. Some of you are old enough to remember external 56k modems. These were big time technology, in 1997. You could hook up this modem to you phone line and then if your computer had the right port (which hardly anyone's did so you had to buy a new card and install it yourself) you could connect to the World Wide Web.
Well, today the World Wide Web has been replaced with the internet and the internet is on the verge of being replaced with some new title that people like me have yet to be introduced to. The word of caution is here to remind you that as technology changes you have to change with it. Just because it worked in "the good ol' days" doesn't mean that it will serve the same purpose today.
For example, let's say that you get injury news and information about a game 10 minutes before kick-off and realize that the other team is going to win and you need to change that pick. No problem the internets is quicker than a hook-up with Tiger Woods, right? Al Gore made it that way. Maybe so when the Olympics were in Atlanta, but not today if you have a dial-up modem. The top speed of this machine is just slower than the speed of fossilization. Instead of getting the game picked correctly you end up cussing the sound of 1997's top technology. . . beep honk, beep honk, beeeeeep hooooooonk.
