Your Handy Week 17 Scorecard

Quote from: "RGMike"
Is Ms. Moyet still, shall we say, Reubenesque?  Back in the '80s a Capital DJ once joked, "this just in -- an expedition has completed the circumnavigation of Alison Moyet!"

She's shopped in the husky section.  But she doesn't look bad at all.  That's a cruel joke.

Speaking of cruel jokes: Debora Iyall of Romeo Void wrote the Voice an angry letter this week: We'd insensitively called a film review "Sex and the Single Squaw," and she, being native, called us out on it.  I had to explain to everyone in copy who she was, and had to admit why I remember her name: not because of her hits so much, but because the first time I ever heard of the band, it was in a brief news blurb-article (Rolling Stone, I think) about how she was hit in the face onstage with a donut by some asshole with the same issues as that DJ, and stormed off the stage.

But enough of that.  Here's our final week's picks:
Code: [Select]
AVON2000   DEN NYG IND CLE BUF CAR CHI KC  PIT NE  TB  HOU JAC SEA WAS DAL 55
FLEM59     SD  NYG IND CLE NYJ CAR CHI KC  PIT NE  TB  SF  JAC SEA WAS DAL 48
GAZ15      SD  OAK ARI CLE NYJ ATL MIN KC  DET MIA NO  HOU TEN GB  PHI STL 86
GEOFFGOULD DEN NYG IND BAL BUF CAR CHI CIN PIT NE  TB  SF  JAC SEA WAS DAL 50
MSHRAY63   SD  OAK IND CLE NYJ CAR CHI KC  PIT MIA TB  HOU JAC SEA WAS DAL 36
K. LOGGINS DEN NYG IND BAL BUF ATL MIN KC  PIT NE  NO  SF  TEN GB  PHI DAL 41
RGMIKESF   SD  NYG IND BAL BUF CAR CHI CIN PIT NE  TB  SF  JAC SEA WAS DAL 38
URTHWERM   SD  NYG IND BAL BUF CAR MIN CIN PIT MIA TB  SF  JAC SEA WAS DAL 47

So, "squaw" is a word invented by white people, not a "native" word? News to me.  A squaw in high dudgeon is a temporary thing.

It's the Native American equivalent of calling someone a "cunt."

Guess Loretta Lynn wasn't aware of that when she wrote "Your Squaw is on the Warpath." :wink: Thanks to Ms Iyall for clueing us in!

Rod is the king!  I had to have all 4 picks we differed on to even tie, and that's down the toilet.  I don't think Ali differs enough from Rod to catch either.

Rod is indeed king. Even ruling today with 11.

11 FLEM
10 AVON, MSHRAY, URTH
9 GEOFF
8 POC, RGM
7 GAZ

effin SF can't even be counted on to lose. With an OT win to boot. grumble grumble.
Sharks bleed teal.

It looks like the pool continues into the playoffs.  Did this happen last year?

i'm working my way through the essential kenny loggins right now.
"essential" and "kenny loggins" do not belong in the same sentence. :wink:   Yacht Rock is the spawn of Satan!

Count me in on the crankypants when it comes to Mr. Loggins.  Although I know he's dripping with musical talent, I don't have to like it, do I?


kenny loggins is *the* voice of the american squaw. and, apparently, my new football name.

Here's some insight to why I fared so poorly.  I decided to check out my old picks and see what the standing would have looked like had I been right every time.  As you can see, it was stubborn and unwarranted support of a few teams that screwed me up.  Actual records in parentheses following my calcs.

NFC East:

PHI 15-1 (6-10) (!!!WHAT.WAS.I.SMOKING.ALL.YEAR???)
WAS 8-8 (10-6)
NYG 6-10 (11-5)
DAL 6-10 (9-7)

NFC North:

CHI 9-7 (11-5)
MIN 7-9 (9-7)
DET 7-9 (5-11)
GB 6-10 (4-12)

NFC South:

CAR 12-4 (11-5)
TB 8-8 (11-5)
ATL 8-8 (8-8)
NO 8-8 (3-13)

NFC West:

STL 11-5 (6-10)
SEA 10-6 (13-3)
ARI 8-8 (5-11)
SFG 0-16 (4-12)

AFC East:

NEP 14-2 (10-6)
MIA 6-10 (9-7)
BUF 3-13 (5-11)
NYJ 1-15 (4-12)

AFC North:

CIN 13-3 (11-5)
PIT 11-5 (11-5)
BAL 6-10 (6-10)
CLE 3-13 (6-10)

AFC South:

IND 13-3 (14-2)
JAX 8-8 (12-4)
TEN 7-9 (4-12)
HOU 3-13 (2-14)

AFC West:

SD 14-2 (9-7)
KC 10-6 (10-6)
DEN 9-7 (13-3)
OAK 5-11 (4-12)

I am getting the message that "THE SEASON IS OVER."  Were any of you able to submit playoff picks?

I even heard Peter talk about it on the radio, but I guess the lawyers probably said "you said it was going to end Jan 1, and you can't extend the rules now!"

It's weird, 'cause there's a link to "week 18" which takes you to that "the season is over" message.  But congrats to "MumbleyJoe" who won the season with 191 points.
