Amazing.
I’m pretty sure 800+ is quite easily an all-time record. I know 621 is a record for the 1/2 QB era because I went back and checked and Oak’s 473 a couple weeks ago was a new record itself.
Good god, this may triple my score.
337/2 + 6 + 71 = 245.5
What a dismal frigging week.
Oh my god.
I’m an idiot, Parts II & III: I saw the Yardage Pool Reminder in my inbox but didn’t read it: I was busy all day, so I spent 5 minutes making picks on my phone while out doing stuff: I just forgot that I’d made picks early in the week (probably because I always put it off until the last minute).
Part III is that I had it in my head that this was Week 8, so to save time on my phone I just googled “week 8 matchups” so I could save myself a click-through. This would explain why I picked Frank Gore (who already played Thursday), and Demaryius Thomas (who’s on a bye), and Jay Cutler (who plays the lousy Panthers secondary NEXT week).
So, yeah, if it’s no problem we can just stick with my original picks (I haven’t even checked to see how anyone did yet). And I’ll pick a WR from tomorrow night’s game in a bit to make up for LAST week’s screwup.
BOW BEFORE MY PROGNOSTICATION SKILLS, FOOLISH MORTALS. Or just start doing what I do and pick the QB and WR who are playing the Saints.
Week 7 Picks
QB: Tom Brady = 259/2 = 129.5
RB: Maurice Jones-Drew = 6 (are you kidding me?)
WR: Steve Smith = 83
Total: 218.5
Fuckin’ christ! I’m going to take a wild guess and assume I’m no longer in the lead.
I think I was already in the lead by 15 after Week 6… but that doesn’t matter now. In other news, Week 8 picks:
Peyton Manning
Reggie Bush
Reggie Wayne
Well, at least I wasn’t the only one who picked MJD…
233 / 2 = 116.5 + 6 + 131 = 253.5
Week 8 Picks
QB: Peyton Manning
RB: Frank Gore
WR: Mike Wallace
Previous Picks

Week 8: Aaron Rodgers, Matt Forte, Demaryius Thomas
186/2 = 93 + 53 + 73 = 219
It’s hard to be this bad while actually trying. I’d be better off ignoring good information and scouting and just picking starters at random.

I am the kiss of death in this game. Take the Saints tonight everyone, and I’m taking bribes to pick players on your opponents teams for the rest of the season.
And it’s official. I’m terrible. Worst score of the season?
152.5 + 4 + 28 = 184.5
