HitAndRun: 131-76 (14-2) (prev: 4) (Forgot his picks, I guess... shame.)

---

So, a couple interesting things to note:
1. First time all season there have been no ties in the standings.
2. Obviously, we had several basically autolosses for everyone, with GB and BAL falling and Indy winning.
3. It is a two-man race unless we get a week like this, but someone going undefeated. :lol:
4. If you took a look at my picks for the week, you'd see that I edited my pick for the SEA-CHI game, from CHicago to Seattle as you can see by the reasoning... but I apparently had a lapse and forgot to change the team itself.
I'm counting it as a win unless I get objections, because I need wins for my self-esteem and all it does is move me up to 5th. And makes it so we have 1 space between everyone from LM to Mac (141-140-139-138-137 :P ). So yeah.

Good luck to everyone, but mostly to redsox.

And by the way LM, it's not the Tim Tebow effect that's everyone hates you because you do well. That's more of the Mid 00's USC/Lakers/patriots (other than Belichick also being... Belichick) effect. Tebow haters hate either because they're pissy atheists and/or hate his goody two-shoesness. And the fact that he sucks.

You blew my mind again. You forgot the Yankees though :mrgreen: . I hate the Lakers for being, well, the Lakers. Hate the Pats for beating my Panthers in the Super Bowl in 2003. Hate Southern Cal because they are suing my Gamecocks for the right to the "SC" logo on their baseball caps, and we've been around about 80 years longer than they have, before Cali was even a STATE for crying outloud, but the CA district judge says we have to give it up :evil: . Screw "the other" USC. Good point though.

Yankees are hated because they win, but mostly because they blow money like nobody's business. Like Chelsea in the Premier League over in the UK. (MAN U IS NOT THE YANKEES OF THE EPL!)

Since after Carson Palmer, I have disliked every USC QB to make it to the NFL. Carson was good though.

I have a tendency to blow minds, though. :wink:

You have to remember one thing, though: It's Kevin Kolb.
Also, Cards weren't doing half-bad with Skelton, I don't think... then again, I don't pay attention to them much. :lol:

Man U isn't the EPL equivalent of the Yankees, but they are the Red Sox, which isn't a whole lot better money-wise. Tottenham Hotspur are where it's at...

At this point, I dunno. We'll see how this week goes... now it's a three-team race. Though I still believe the Rams have the 3rd pick at this point because of SoS.

Also, everyone gets an autoloss for that game, cuz nobody would have picked that.

I HATE Man U, almost as much as I hate Manchester City. I used to like Chelsea, but I'm not so sure now. Who I am I kidding, I don't follow the EPL :lol: .

And Jim Caldwell got it together to win two in a row, probably three with the Jags up next. A leader in my youth group at church went to Indy for work last week, an he said there was NO Colts stuff, banners, jerseys, nothing, in the entire town.

I like Man U. They actually develop their players and make smart purchases, and THAT'S why they win. Chelsea throws money at big-name players a la NYY.

I dunno about the Man U - Red Sox comparison...
