Swim Out Past the Breakers: Week Fourteen
The above picture is what I like to call, *Seven ball in the corner pocket.*
The following text is what I like to call, *Another reason to hate Pittsburgh.*
—–
It’s bad enough the only safe pick last weekend — the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers beating the hapless Oakland Raiders — never materialized, but now I am subjected to the humiliation of hosting the 4th Star Suicide Pool (third edition) without having a horse in the race. Truth be told, I thought you guys were all fucked. I mean, why wouldn’t you take the Steelers at home against the Raiders? It’s an automatic victory for Pittsburgh. Big Ben back in the saddle. Playoff implications on the line. A very bad Raiders team. Immaculate receptions weren’t even required. Sigh. Maybe I should have gone with the group and taken the Bears…
There are six left in the pool. In no particular order of sexual orientation, these people include KO, DKUN, SS, Dr. Hudson, NCMF, and Masterclark. According to my charts, I also have BS taking the Lions. They’ll lose, of course, so he’ll get to take them next week, as well.
And so here we are. Trudging through the final weeks of the suicide season, offering a post up here so the remaining players can all pick the same team make their selections. What a sorry exercise this pool has become. So make your picks and rub my face in it. Just in case you forgot the rules, the New Orleans Saints, Indianapolis Colts, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, San Diego Chargers, and the Cincinnati Bengals cannot be selected. Don’t even think about it.
Take your picks and shove them up your ass. Then put ‘em in the comments. Jerks.
the rules also state you cannot take the same team twice, correct? so the pickers and eggles are dead to me as well…
therefore my selection is the tittens for kittens… cuz vyoung hearts jtootoo

My profound repect for the weblogmaster prevents me from choosing the Eggles over Gee-what-happened-to-our-season-Men. That would just be cruel.
In what should be only a slightly less disparaging pick, I will choo-choo-choose the Penguins to defeat the Barons.
So, prior to this, I have used the Cowbuys and the NYJets. Just keeping track.

Bears and Eagles are out for me. I choose the hated Ravens. Sneak out of Cleveland in the middle of the night. Where is Baltimore anyway?

is this where we give our UFC picks?
i’ll take BJ Penn in the 3rd round via his patented finishing maneuver, and a personal favorite of DKUN’s, the rear-naked choke…
EAGLES!

Browns win! Browns win!!
Who knew?
Who knew that a team which refers to itself by colour, and represents this team coulour on their helmetswith a different colour, would win? I mean, they had only won 9% of their games to date.
How did i not see this coming. Well, i have the rest of the season to think about it.
