A Spirited football brag!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Okay, so it’s a week early and I am tempting fate. One more game remains, and anything can happen. To which I reply, “Fuck it. Drive on!”

I am about to leave for vacation and am uncertain whether I will have access after tomorrow. Therefore . . .

Let it be pronounced throughout the land that among all Dopers in the Demense of Cecil, Spiritus Mundi has distinguished himself as sucking slighlty less at prognosticating the performance of both players and teams than all others. Especially Milo ;).

To wit:

I don’t quite see why you’re so confident, after all i am only 90 points behid you, still well within reach…

…everyone can dream can’t they?

3

Noticing that Mundi has started his celebratory, Deion-like strutting 10 yards from the end zone, Milo kicks it into high gear behind him, hawking for that outstretched ball like that Buffalo Bill guy in the Super Bowl that one year whose name escapes me …

4

I still say I’d be in the thick of things if I hadn’t missed Week 1…

Grr.

5

Steve Tasker?

6

Ahh, Don Beebe knocking the ball from Leon Lett…great play!

7

Even if I didn’t miss week #5, I probably would not have caught you in the pick-em league.

Congrats!

Hey, but at least I still have my SDMB Yahoo Fantasy Baseball crown and my Celebrity Death Pool 2000 championship to dwell on.

Let’s not talk about the Yahoo Fantasy Football League… ok?

I demand a recount!
As the only person in the Pick’em league to win 4 weeks, obviously I should be the winner. It is clear to everyone that I intended to put in my picks those 2 weeks in October, but because of my wedding and honeymoon I was prevented from exercising my legal rights.

BTW, if my weekly average is put in for the 2 weeks I missed, it comes to 1310, still 2nd place. Damn!

No Don Beebe/Steve Tasker wannabe is gonna catch Mundi as he streaks for the endzone. I managed to stretch my lead over the closest competitors in both leagues, to finish the undisputed cham-peeen of the SDMB Football Universe. This title, of course, signifies that I have wasted more neuroloogical firings on a fanatical following of the fantasy fortunes and forecasts for football fellows than my feeble competitors.

Hoo-F’n-ray for me.
