NFL 2005 Season Week 8 Picks

Bill Simmons quote to start off the week:

(While we're here, shouldn't Rich Hall create a sniglet to describe that weird fantasy football feeling of anger/envy/hatred/betrayal when someone like Santana Moss randomly becomes an elite player, only it didn't happen when he was on your team? It's vaguely reminiscent to dating a virgin in college, getting the Mr. Miyagi treatment for a few months, dumping her, then finding out two years later that she's suddenly pulling a Paris Hilton on your entire class. Whoops, bad analogy -- there are no virgins anymore. That one would have worked great in 1995. Oh well.)

Suckers

I think Washington will win.

I don't know if anyone else watched much ESPN today, but if I never hear the name of a certion Patroit LB again it will be too soon.

Well, we knew it was coming. I mean good for him and all, but players have come back from other injuries/illnesses before. Go Badgers though huh? I want to change my giants/redskins pick if plexico doesn't play although that would be good for me since i picked up the well dressed amani toomer.

Week 8 Trivia: River Crossings

A. This historical crossing involved three future Presidents, a future Vice-President, a future Chief Justice, a future Secretary of the Treasury, and a future Secretary of War.

Name this famous crossing.
(Bonus points for the names of the seven men alluded to above.)


B. Since Julius Caesar did it in 49 BC, to cross this river has come to mean the taking of an irrevocable action, or passing a point of no return.

Name the River.

A. That would be the crossing of the Delaware, besides Washington, James Madison, James Monroe, John Marshall, Aarron Burr, and Alexander Hamilton were all on board the boat.

Ah, that other river would be the "Rubicon".
Caesar crossed the Rubicon.

Let me get this straight, edinger just missed a 33 yard fg? bastard

I wish I could be a football player so I could go up to Favre before the game and ask for the jersey that he's going to wear during the game that we're about to play. I wonder if Favre is going to give it to him? I doubt it.

Wait what? Is Culpepper hurt?

I see that he is, well to keep all of my readers updated, it looks like Chad Johnson is hurt also as he just left for the locker room, and when I saw that play I thought hmmmm Johnson looks hurt but then he got up.
Now we get to see if Brad Johnson is better than Culpepper. So many people with the last name of Johnson.
John Elway is a lonely guy. Good, he deserves to be. Man, I'm lonely. :( Talking to myself on a website on my birthday. :(

I don't have much to say so far except I think I should have started FTaylor. And I finally benched Collins and he's having his best game of the year. And the Vikings are getting pounded. And Happy Birthday Sarah!

al harris is hurt. i like collins.... Chad Johnson got JACKED UP!

Fisher blocking those two blitzers was sweet.

:(

what is going on?????????

really? does every single throw need to be an int? and it's not even like they were getting pts off the ints until now. dang.

i can't watch but i will

that's how it goes donw??????? that's bullshit? why didn't he spike the ball? why didn't he just ran then if that's how he was going to do it??????? i don't understand it. and then what the hell with that stupid ass fan??? that screwed us over as well.

Sarah, you're missing the Secretary of War.

Did jumbo get the question right?

Yes.

Yeah, everything is right, except the missing Secretary of War.

Check out what really happened...

Oh snap, the Go Bucks be back up to their highest spot on the charts after a beasty week. Shout out to Jeff Garcia, and also to JP Losman for convincing Homer Oats/Tonys Team to drop Moulds. 2 more weeks should be sufficient time to take over the lead I think. I had 4 of the top 9 RBs this week.
