Boy, do I feel guilty. I put in my picks for the football pool. And I picked New England to beat the Broncos. I feel so bad about that, but I really want to stay ahead in the pool so I can win the overall pool. (The money isn't much, but the bragging rights are priceless.)
I'll still be cheering them on to win, but I had to go with what I thought will happen.
My Jets don't play until tonight, but fingers crossed! Beating Miami plus the Pats loss yesterday would mean good things for my boys! I'm crossing my fingers for an AFC East Championship - I'm going to see them play December 3rd, and I expect them to be playoff bound!
Speaking of that Pats loss, I don't much care for Josh McDaniels, but I laughed SO hard when the Broncos won! In your face Belichick! Chalk another one up for Orton and his superior neck beard. Totally made my day!
Diane - While I'm sorry you lost in the football pool, I'm hoping you're still quite happy about yesterday's outcome becuase I sure am!
EZ, David - In Russell's defense... your offensive line totally collapsed on him a couple of times. No wonder he can't hit his target, he has 2 seconds to throw the ball. Also, I like how Brady gets tapped on the helmet adn it's a personal foul, Russell gets his head slammed into the ground and it's no biggy. (That was last week, but still... really annoying and I'm not even a Raiders fan.)
Funny - I will look over the neck beard comment and just relish in the fact that the Broncos are 5-0 Haha, though- we really don't have a history of well groomed QB's (*cough* Jake Plummer *cough*)
Don't fret. I can assure you that I in NO WAY meant the neck beard comment as an insult. I think it's both endearing and a source of mysterious power! I love, love, love it, irrespective of what team he's on!
In fact, 98% of the time my commentary on players' facial hair is based in genuine admiration - for example, the many mustachioed players of the Colts (it's like Dungy and Harrison started a revolution...) or Aaron Rodgers and his hilarious stache. This principle applies equally to ridiculous hair - like Jared Allen's fierce mullet. The other 2% of the time I'm making fun of Brett Favre (who I passionately dislike in a way I can't quite put into words...) and his grizzled old-dude beard.
Haha I took no offense, I was just kidding.
I too dislike Mr. Favre. I have since like 1995 or whenever he started playing, and everyone thought I was nuts. Now the world agrees with me Ha! I think as long as you don't love Matt Light's 70's porn star mustache, we're ok
Ok, I'm back. I am glad that the Broncos won, even though I took the loss in the football pool. MY BAD! I deserved the loss on my record. Not happening again!
Hopefully, I'll have a good number to report next Monday for the weight loss challenge part of this thread. That is still a part of the thread, right? ha! I'm way behind where I wanted to be!
Funny - Not all as epic as it was cracked up to be. There were some REALLY bad calls (favoring the Saints as usual). A pass interference call that gave the Saints 35 yards, and a holding call that negated a Giants touchdown. Joe Buck, Tory Aikman and I all agree - they were bogus.
David & EZ - My husband is SO NOT HAPPY!... being an Eagles fan and all...
MARBEAR I was shcked to hear they won!!! But happy...
we had left for a function at church during half time...then went to dinner....came home to see my DODGERS getting hammered in the first 4-0 when I walked in...crap!....then my son calls to chat about that....then says at least we won 1 game today....I'm like WHAT???? They did not beat those Eqagles....they did...
Daughter in law and son went to church with me ....Pastor asked her if the Chragers were ready ....she just said I hope so, I know I'm ready...I did all my practice!
Should be a good game!
Jets game was a tough one FUNNYCANADIAN...
Boy Drew Brees looked good...and 6 TD's for Brady....
Hehehe.
