WEEK 8: RESULTS

Stupid full-time job!

Again, apologies for the late posting. I hope you’ll stick with me as I ease my way into getting up every day at 5:45am, coming home at 5pm, running (a supposed remedy for my newfound fatness), and then collapsing from overall exhaustion. Boo-hoo, I know.

OK, back to the pool (poop). Week 8 (not Week 9, as so many of you pointed out) is now in the books and we have a winner. But first, my Redskins suck. Now back to that whole ‘winner’ thing (which, as you will see, I know nothing about). Here are the standings for Week 8:

1. George….11-2
1. Josh…..11-2
1. Tyler….11-2
4. Joshu….10-3
4. Molly….10-3
4. Scott…..10-3
4. Bill……10-3
8. Zack….9-4
8. Dave….9-4
8. Matthew K…9-4
8. Jon…….9-4
8. Joey…..9-4
13. Matthew M…8-5 (whoops!)
14. Sandy…..7-6

George also goes so far as to take over the top spot in the overall standings. Evidenced here:

1. George…78-38
2. Dave…77-39
2. Scott….77-39
4. Jon….76-40
5. Bill….75-41
6. Molly….74-42
7. Tyler….72-44
7. Joshu….72-44
7. Sandy….72-44
10. Zack…..71-45
10. Josh….71-45
10. Joey….71-45
13. Matthew K…70-46 (at least I’m consistent, right Joe Morgan?)
14. Matthew M….69-47

Apparently theres something about the name “Matthew” that causes you to suck. Anyway, congrats if you won, sorry if you didn’t. I’ll post the schedule for Week 9 (yes, the actual Week 9, not some pseudo-Week 9) soon, probably tomorrow evening. I’m done with this crap for now.

Good night.

WEEK 7: RESULTS

Apologies for the late post gang. By way of explanation, I just started my first post-graduate job on Monday so between that and my Red Sox (WE’RE GOING TO THE SERIES!!) my time has been at a premium recently. Since I’m really not that important (and the baseball season will soon end) I don’t expect this sort of thing to continue.

So, yeah, Week 7. My brother won. Stupid brother. Heres the results:

1. Sandy….12-2
2. Josh……11-3
2. Molly…..11-3
2. Jon…….11-3
5. Tyler…..10-4
5. Zack……10-4
5. Joey……10-4
5. George….10-4
5. Joshu…..10-4
10. Matthew M….9-5
10. Dave…..9-5
10. Scott…..9-5
13. Bill.........8-6
46,875,982. Matt….7-7

So congrats to Sandy. He wins a swift kick in the jimmies. And the WSP. Predictably, Sandy's fabulous week moves him up in the yearly standings.

1. Dave……68-35
2. Jon……..67-36
2. Scott……67-36
2. George….67-36
5. Sandy….65-38
5. Bill…….65-38
7. Molly….64-39
8. Joey…..62-41
8. Joshu…..62-41
8. Zack……62-41
11. Tyler…..61-42
11. Matt K….61-42
11. Matt M….61-42
14. Josh…..60-43

See? Told you. Sorry for the lack of humor and intrigue in this post, but hey, when you gotta go you gotta go (poop!).

On a separate note, I think these are correct scores, but frankly, I’m kinda tired, so I could’ve screwed something up. If you think I f’d yr picks up, lemme know. I’ll post the schedule for Week 8 soon.

WEEK 6: RESULTS

Apologies for the late post, peeps. I've been traveling all weekend long and not had time to tend to the pool(poop!) like I usually do. Yesterday I got to the Dallas airport at around 9am central time. I was supposed to make it back to Philly around 5pm EST. Instead, I didn't get back until 10:30pm. I missed the Red Sox loss to the Indians (DAMMIT!) and the Monday Night Football game (ho-hum). So I slept in today and only now am I prepared to tell the tale of…

Week 6: A week I forget.

Week 6 went down to the wire yet again. Going into the Monday night game, we had three people in contention, but since the Giants won, it came down to just two. Jon Stover and Scott Rozsa (who I had the pleasure of meeting this week down in Dallas: the Skins'll do better against Arizona this week, Scott) were tied after the whole slate at 9-4.

And so it came down to points yet again. Scott picked 30 and Jon Stover picked 40. The final score was 31-10, so Jon Stover is this week's winner!

Congratulations to Jon! Jon will receive a membership to the Flaming Bag of Poop of The Month Club. This month's flaming bag of poop is… turtle! It will be delivered to your door in the middle of the night once a month (we won't tell you when, that’s part of the fun)! Yay!

No, unfortunately Jon will just receive the Weekly Standard Prize (WSP) of $56, which will be delivered to his door smeared in poo and set on fire. Congratulations again to Jon!

This week's final standings are as follows:

1. Jon…… ……9-4 (Points)
1. Scott………..9-4
3. Josh………...8-5
3. Dave……….8-5
3. Sandy………8-5
3. Joey…...........8-5
3. Matthew K…8-5
3. George………8-5
3. Bill………….8-5
10. Joshu………7-6
10. Tyler……….7-6
10. Molly………7-6
10. Molly………7-6
14. Zack………...6-7

And the overall standings:

1. Dave………..59-30
2. Scott………..58-31
3. Bill………….57-32
3. George………57-32
5. Jon………….56-33
6. Matthew K….54-35
7. Molly………..53-36
7. Sandy……….53-36
9. Matthew M….52-37
9. Joshu………..52-37
9. Joey………….52-37
9. Zack…………52-37
13. Tyler……….51-38

I’ll post the schedule for Week 7 shortly.
