Week 8: Results

First, a quick story.

I posted my picks in the comments section of the Week 8 schedule on Friday as I usually do. The next morning, I read that Vince Young would be QBing the Titans against Jacksonville. "With Crazy Vince at the helm, no way Tennessee wins this week," I thought. I go back to change my post. Instead of writing a second comment below the first and potentially confusing people, I just deleted my original comment with my picks in it, and cut and pasted the schedule again, but this time with Jacksonville instead of Tennessee as my pick. However, in that second comment I neglected to pick the Jets/Miami game. I had previously picked Miami, but because I had forgotten to note that in my new picks, I had to take the loss.

So, to recap, I posted my picks, went back to make a change and cost myself two wins in the process. This just isn't my year.

If you checked the update yesterday, you know that the week came down to three people, each with 10 wins: Dave Labowitz who picked 48 points, and Matthew Mariam and Jon Stover who both picked 51 points. Everyone in the entire pool(poop!) picked New Orleans so that was no tie breaker.

New Orleans won last night, 35-27, for a total of 62 Monday Night Points, meaning Jon Stover and Matthew Mariam are this week's winners! Congratulations to you both. You are going to split this week's prize which is a bag of last week's dirty baby diapers! Yay! I've taken the liberty of setting them on fire and placing them outside your respective abodes. Enjoy!

No, sadly, you both will share the Weekly Standard Prize. Congratulations to you both. (Jon, email me the address you want your check to go to.)
