Week 3: Results

Another week in the books and another week in the books that I didn't win.   So it goes, eh?  Well, apologies, but I don't have anything funny to write.  Wait, here ya go.  Poop.  Ha!  Good stuff, eh?

To the results!

When last we met you may recall that Week 3 was decided before Monday night even happened.  Also Dave Labowitz didn't win.  That's some shit right there.  Well, Monday night went ahead and happened anyway, but John Weaver didn't need its help.  Which is good, because Chicago won, so he didn't get it.  Didn't matter.  Mr. Weaver is and will always be known as the Big Weiner from Week 3!  Congrats to John Weaver, who, as the designated wiener, wins not one, not two, but three copies of And They Ask Me Why I Drink, by Nino Greasemanelli.  Yes, that includes the one from my bathroom!

Just to whet your appetite, here's what some of the reviewers on Amazon.com said (sadly I'm not making these up):

*I read this on a plane. It was awful. I was intrigued because my mother used to listen to this guy when we were kids in DC. She thought he was hilarious. I don't know, the book kind of sucked.


*I purchased mine at a yard sale for $0.50 and read it in the bathroom. Given all of that I still felt ripped off! I can't stress enough---DONT BUY THIS BOOK!!!--- To sum it up in one word "LAME"

OK, Weaver, listen carefully.  You can hold on to your red snapper, or you can go for whats in the box that's being brought down the isle right now!  Whats it gonna be?!

Ah, who cares.  You win the WSP of $70.  Have fun blowing it it all on booze and porn.

The standings for Week 3:

1. John Weaver ... 12-4
2. Josh Money ... 11-5
3. Zack Klein ... 10-6
3. Bill Denton ... 10-6
5. Karl Vaillancourt ... 9-7

After two weeks, we have have a new resident in the head chair.  You'll be shocked to learn its John Weaver.  Still we're only three weeks into this daddy and its a close race overall.  No reason to panic as there's only eight games separating first and last place.

One programing note: The wife and I are taking a bit of a road trip this weekend.  [pause for hooting and hollering to stop]  The whole telecommunications revolution thing is kinda spotty here in Oregon, especially when you get outside the city, so I'm not entirely sure I'll have internet access.  This is all by way of saying there may not be a Sunday night update on this here blog.  Though there might be. 

The schedule for Week 4 will be up shortly.  Congrats again to John Weaver, and best of luck to everyone this coming week.

Week 3: Update: Diddly Poo!

 diddly pooteriffic poo-turds!

Its not often this pool gets all decided and sheeet before the Monday night game.  When it comes down to it, we're relatively evenly matched folks in terms of our football picking abilities.  Yes, penis size is another matter entirely, but I come to build up, not to tear down so take your negativity elsewhere.

Anyway, this is that rare week when the Monday night game will decide diddly-poo.  Yes sir, we've already got our Week 3 winner. 

Should I divulge who it is?

Should I? 

Well...

In the words of the great American, Mr. Steve Martin... 


NAAAAAAAHH!!!!

Sorry, suckers, you'll just have to wait till tomorrow for the exciting conclusion. 

Come on, Matty, stop being a prick and tell us who won!

Well, italicized voice, I'm not being a prick, just trying to keep some suspense going.  I won't tell you who won, but if you really want, I'll tell you who lost Dave Labowitz there done happy?

See you tomorrow night!

Week 2: Results!

Football is a funny game.  Sometimes its uplifting, like in Week 1 when the Redskins beat Dallas and I finished in second place in the pool.  Other times its a giant kick in the dick.  Like Week 2 when the opposite of those things happened.

Still, its early for those of you like me out there.  Those lost souls, those languishing in the depths of the proverbial second division, those sad sorry loser-bastards who's only job in life is to clean shit out of babies assholes.  Or, uh, something.

To the results!! 

This week could be titled Two Men And A Football Game.  Week 2 came down to two men, Alex Mena and John Weaver, and a football game. The San Francisco/New Orleans Monday Night game to be specific.  Both men entered with 11 wins, but only one would emerge with the necessary 12.   John, obviously high on Nyquil, tractor starter fuel, and some sort of fish paralyzer, chose San Francisco over the World Champs.  Either that or he though "N.O." stood for "NO!"  In any case, Weaver took SF, Mena took NO.

And New Orleans won.  Shocker.  Mena is this Week's Weekly Wiener (WWW)!  Congrats to Alex Mena!  Mr. Mena, you win this week's amazing prize of one pair of Jerry Jones' soiled Spiderman Under-roos brand underware!  The very pair he wore for the Week 1 loss to Washington!  Yes, he actually hershey squirted in them!  And no, the smell hasn't dissipated!  Frame them!  Mount them! Or have them bronzed!  Or mount them!

Or just accept the WSP of seventy bucks.  Sheesh. 

Here are the final standings for Week 2:

1. Alex Mena ... 12-4
2. John Weaver ... 11-5
2. Gedeon Mariam ... 11-5
2. George Smith ... 11-5
2. Zack Klein ... 11-5
6. Bill Denton ... 10-6
6. Matthew Mariam ... 10-6
6. Dave Labowitz ... 10-6
9. Josh Money ... 9-7
9. Jon Stover ... 9-7
9. Joey Bansen ... 9-7
12. Sandy Kory ... 8-8
12. Karl Vaillancourt ... 8-8
12. Matthew Kory ... 8-8
15. Robin Wood ... 7-9

Say, here's something interesting, if you add the final standings from Week 1 and the final standings from Week 2, you get the Current Overall Standings (COS)!!!

1. Alex Mena ... 24-8
2. Zack Klein ... 23-9
3. George Smith ... 21-11
3. John Weaver ... 21-11
5. Dave Labowitz ... 20-12
5. Sandy Kory ... 20-12
5. Joey Bansen ... 20-12
8. Matthew Kory ... 19-13
8. Bill Denton ... 19-13
8. Gedeon Mariam ... 19-13
8. Jon Stover ... 19-13
12. Robin Wood ... 18-14
12. Josh Money ... 18-14
14. Matthew Mariam ... 18-14
15. Karl Vaillancourt ... 17-15

The schedule (or as the brits say, shhhhhed-u-el) for Week 3 will be up soon.  Congrats again to Alex Mena, and have a great week.

Week 2: Update

After the Redskins meltdown today you all should be amazed that I'm even able to think about football without bazooka barfing let alone compile all of your stats and post them here.  In any case I'm going to make this quick because I have an appointment with the last piece of furniture in my house that I've yet to break.

Unless the Giants score 24 points in the next minute and a half I feel pretty comfortable saying that this week is going to come down to just two people... 

In the red corner, you may remember him from last week's performance of The Nepotism Story: Dammit I Lost The WSP On MNP To Matt's Brother ... Alex Mena!  And in the blue corner, making his first appearance in an update this year ... John "Not Dave Labowitz" Weaver!

Both John and Alex have 11 wins going into tonight.  There are some people who have 10 wins but you're gonna need 12 to win Week 2.  Why?  Because Alex and John picked different winners for Monday night.  That's right, someone actually picked San Francisco over the Saints!  What were they thinking??  To find out shoot John an email after the 49ers get rolled tomorrow night.

So that's it.  No MNP, no eight-different-people-might-win intrigue.  Just John and Alex.  Mono a mono.  If New Orleans wins so does Alex.  If San Francisco wins, so does John.  Best of luck to you both,  gentleman.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to adjourn to the study.  There's a barcalounger calling my name.
