the 4th star

Well, that certainly didn’t take long, did it?

The number of participants in the 2009 4th Star Suicide Pool has thinned out considerably after the first week of the National Football League season. The Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals turned out to be early killing machines, as did the Cincinnati Bengals. Watching them give it up in the last minute was the worst of the deaths, a certain incompletion into triple-coverage turned into a winning touchdown score for Denver. Week Two promises to be even better. According to my records, we only have five alive.

This week, yours truly is taking the Washington Redskins. Losers to the New York Giants, the ‘Skins will need to jump into the win column to keep pace with the division. They didn’t look great against the G-Men, but with St. Louis coming to town an easier time should be had. Seattle ran for 167 yards against the Rams last  week, so I imagine Clinton Portis is looking forward to not running into the New York front seven. How about the Rams schedule? Open up in Seattle and then travel to the other coast in Week Two. Wicked.
