Fool's Ball Week 6

Your home for all things Fool's Ball!

In Memoriam Danny Lee (BENDER2)

[Impy]

Hey everyone, did you have a nice Columbus Day?

"Meh, It was fine. Didn't realize it was until there was no mail."

"I didn't, I got razzed on twitter for acknowledging it, even though I did a proclamation for the Indian thing too, did I say Indian? I meant Washington Football Team, sorry, I'm from upstate, we were just informed about wokeness last month. Can I just get Italian AND Indian votes? Please?"

"I didn't because my twitter was deleted by a hacker, I know who did it and I will get them."

"I didn't, I got fired for critizing gays and democrats (and Roger Goodell but why repeat myself) in private emails from 7 years ago that were selectivly leaked by one of my many enemies, I know who it was and I will get them."

Oh hey coach Gruden, I didn't know you were a good guy! My dad calls you Chuckie, you know cause you look like that killer puppet!"

"Thank you?"

"I didn't cause I got benched for Justin Fields on a permanent basis. If only I could throw a football I might have had a chance!"

With 14 games, anyone who misses the week is 7-7. To clarify about missed picks, it goes as a loss but if you’re a little late (whoever it was last week) and the game started and it’s a one score game before half time, you can have it. ;-D

In his opinion, Mazzant writes, via Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News, that “The Court takes no comfort in enforcing an arbitration award that upholds a punishment that, arguably, is not permissible under the parties’ CBA.

But, just as the Court cannot embrace its own opinion as to the validity of Collins’ claims or the out-of-bounds nature of the NFL’s disciplinary decisions, the Court cannot disregard an arbitrator’s reasonable construction of the parties’ agreements.”

So the Cowboys Collins will not play this weekend. I thought that the judges' reasoning regarding the CBA and the arbitrators ruling was interesting.

[texas booster]

Continuing with the theory that the better QB wins on Sunday ...

Buccaneers over the Eagles - the better QB wins

Dolphins over the Jaguars - maybe the better QB doesn’t win this one
Chiefs over Washington - the better QB win ... maybe?
Rams over the Giants - The better QB wins
Colts over the Texans - the better QB wins (but I am not sure who the better QB is)
Bengals over the Lions - the better QB wins
Packers over da Bears - the better QB wins
Ravens over the Chargers - The better QB doesn’t win

Vikings over the Panthers - the older QB wins?
Cardinals over the Brown - the better QB wins, but not by much
Broncos over the Raiders - not sure here ...
Cowboys over the Patriots - The better QB wins

Steelers over the Seahawks - No Wilson? Then the better QB wins.

Buffalo over the Titans - the better QB wins

Just realized I missed making a pick for Sunday night football. If no one objects I'll pick Buff to win. Game is happening now, both teams look good, it's 14 -10 buff 5:39 left in the. 2nd.
I'm not sure what to do if a pick is missed. I'm out of town, rushed my picks before leaving Thursday morning.

I've got my record for both weeks 4 and 5 as 12 - 4

A few people commented that my missed Buffalo Kansas City pick should count. As I stated; if no one objects.
