WEINKOPF.COM FOOTBALL POOL WEEK 7 UPDATES: GOIN' WILDING 
SORRY TO SAY IT, but this week's update will necessarily be short and sweet. I had my wisdom teeth yanked on Thursday, and I'm still recovering. That leaves me jacked up on Vicodin and unable to give this update the time or attention it deserves. (It also provides me with a good excuse for my atrocious 33-point weekly performance.) But to move on: This week's winner, and now in first place overall, is Stacey "WildStyle75" Pressman, whose namesake is honored with the photo above. I especially like the pic because it shows Wiley smashing someone wearing a Bills #11 jersey -- not Drew Bledsoe, of course, but anyone eager to see Drew get smacked around need only catch the Jills vs. Mighty Mighty Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots game in a few weeks. Anyway, Stacey racked up a hefty 90 points and the One To Watch Honors -- clearly the ESPN employee is in the hunt for a Weinkopf.com title. She must me stopped. The OTW hex, by the way, worked wonders on my upstart brother-in-law, When's Baseball Season Start Bob, who scored a more reasonable 43 points this week. The One Not To Watch title also helped to rehabilitate Hoboken Orphans (49). While Stinky Cheese Tara, who scored a stinky 16 points this week, would seem the next likely candidate for ONTW honors, I've decided to give that distinction to NevadaNiner Jason instead. After another dismal week (23 points), the Niner has managed to fall behind At Least I'm Not a Zebra Elizabeth (33 points) overall and remains ahead of only Bruiser Tim (who put up an impressive 74, and who also missed the first two weeks of action). Worse yet, he continues to get outclassed by his 3-year-old son Padawan Ebin (55) who, yes, now ranks ahead of yours truly in overall points. So Jason, feel free. You are the One Not to Watch, and rest assured, no one is watching you now. And the Mighty Mighty Super Bowl Champion Patriots, up this week against the Denver Donkeys, remain the Team Not To Watch. Finally, for a quick update on the family feuds, it's: Padawan Ebin: 5, NevadaNiner Jason: 2 Husband Grogan's Heroes Kenny: 5, his anti-zebra Wife: 1 Yours truly, the Mighty Mighty Pats Fan: 2, Brother Bob: 5 Brother Matthew "Barrio Bravo" Rubush: 3, Redskins Scott: 4 And that's all. Sorry for such a quick recap. Next week, when my health and sobriety are restored, I should be back in full force. Till then, I remain humbly yours, Chris, the Mighty Mighty Pats Fan |
