Week 13 Picks

On the ESPN scroll this morning during SportsCenter it said that Drew Henson has been named the backup to Daunte Culpepper. First, how is this news that made the ticker? Second, how can you not laugh after reading that? Drew Henson is the backup to Daunte Culpepper- that’s how awful the Lions are. Third, how is that Drew Stanton pick looking? Here’s hoping he’s injured or something, because that’s awful to be third on our depth chart, especially behind two wastes of spaces in Culpepper and Henson.

I lost again in fantasy this week, but I am happy. For once I did not lose to the first or second highest scorer. It just brings peace to my fantasy soul for some reason. My team did okay again, so I can’t complain. They’ve been consistently mediocre all year, so they lived up to their billing. Another benefit of losing this week means that Stacey jumps in front of Kevin for the last playoff spot. Since I hate Kevin, that makes me happy.

Listening to the debates about how the BCS is all screwed up (again) just makes me want to scream and yell. Adam, I just don’t get how you can love this sport so much when year after year we get this same drama. It’s getting old year after year, and the debates aren’t even fun because they will not come to any sort of satisfying resolution when the season is all said and done. Grrrr…just get a damn playoff!

Alright, onto the picks. Kevin has started his comeback charge…

Updated Standings:
Mike: 120
Kevin: 113
Adam: 106


Go make your picks! (Adam, don't forget the MNF game this week. You forgot it last week and I didn't notice until I was counting winners, sorry.)

Week 13 Picks

Tennessee over Detroit

Not picking the Lions this week…a smart decision on my part.

Happy Thanksgiving!

That's weird because they released Henson when they signed Culpepper.

Stanton is injured - he got a concussion last week. Detroit News said he was throwing up on the sidelines in the second quarter, but he said they are just embellishing it.

I try and ignore all of the BCS talk and just enjoy the players and games.

Ok, I pick New Orleans in that MNF game.

Arizona over Philadelphia
Tennessee over Detroit
Dallas over Seattle
Green Bay over Carolina
New York over Washington
Baltimore over Cincinnati
Indianapolis over Cleveland
Buffalo over San Francisco
Tampa Bay over New Orleans
Miami over St. Louis
San Diego over Atlanta
Kansas City over Oakland
New York over Denver
Chicago over Minnesota
Pittsburgh over New England
Houston over Jacksonville

I just read that they signed Henson off the practice squad because of Stanton's concussion. That answers that.
