2001 Football Pool Weekly Update
Week Five
Week Five over. It was a hectic one. Sorry about the "out-of-town-ness" at pool headquarters, but we push on.
"I kid you not when I tell you that I actually talked to my brother-in-law, he said Oakland Raiders and I went to the computer maybe 10 minutes later and typed in Colts. I am completely insane." --McNenny
I think I could have caught this one had I been in town. Alas, I was not and we had a Ducey-Pool first. McNenny took a loss for picking a team during their Bye-Week. Wowzers. That even tops Uliana's Year 2000 Mistake of picking the same team in Weeks 1 & 16, which resulted in him winning $0 instead of $650. Well, OK, they're both pretty bad.
"This week I will pick Philadelphia! See you next year!" --Nevelezer (RIP)
They were prophetic words. Philadelphia did nearly all of the damage this week. 29 hits. Seven of them fatal. Including Nevelezer. Other blips disappearing from the radar screen over Philly were Delgin, Distad, Egan, Gamble, Kazan, and Kessler~G. And in the "falling-on-one's-sword" category, James took the coward's way out and threw in the towel. No Pick. No win. No more.
"Dallas couldn't keep Jerry Rice's Mom from scoring. So... Oakland." --Brown~S
Tough talk. But the Cowboys blow. Can't hardly wait for Monday Night's Dallas/Washington scrimmage. What a powerhouse match-up. It doesn't seem fair that one of them will actually get to win this week. Who's with me in hoping for a tie?
The standings...
00 LOSS -- 81 Leaders
01 LOSS -- 78 Followers
02 LOSS -- 30 Lost
03 LOSS -- 12 Gone
