We have a new champion. Reader Homer Fong went 10-5, with the Packers-Texans contest ending in the dreaded push, to eke out a victory over a pack of also-rans. Fong smartly went with the NFL elite (Steelers, Eagles, Pats), and also correctly selected the underdog Bills, Jets, and Titans. Savor your time in the winner's circle while it lasts, Fong. Week twelve starts on Thursday, so competitors remember to make your selections early this week. But for now readers, admit you were wrong and give props to Fong. Fong, all of FlynnFiles wants to hear how you did it.
Perhaps you should have spent a summer internship at "Accuracy in Basic Mathematics", as my winning formula was 13-3, not 10-5. This is hardly "eking" out a victory. It would be more "accurate" to say that Mr. Fong dominated the competition this week, as he expected he would. It also would not be unreasonable to assume that your lack of attention to detail played a significant role in your own crushing defeat this weekend. In any event, despite your attempts to minimize my achievement, I have vanquished all who opposed me and will continue these convincing performances for the next 6 weeks.
Nothing like a sore winner.
My apologies. I didn't realize I had to cover your spread. Still, in terms of W/L I dominated. And yes...there is nothing like a sore winner.
Dumb luck I would suspect. Especially as you didn't know the rules.
I promised to be an arrogant winner and a paranoid loser, but I was so thoroughly beaten by Homer J. that I am too embarrassed to be either. Congratulations Homer J, take my crown, at least for now. My excuse was that I was distracted and really couldn't pay attention to football because of the invention of that new spectator participation game that looks a bit like basketball, a bit like boxing and a bit like pro wrestling. Too bad the name racket-ball is taken (at least phonetically).
I cant wait till the next time i have to pay the man! If i use fongs theory i can make up my own spread and just tell the man he is crazy and that i won all my bets!! weirdo
I got two words for your Fong........Shock Therapy.
I have two words for YOU: I Am Your King.
You can say what you want about me, but I'm the King (for the next few days, anyway). Even if it was dumb luck, I'm the winner. Of course, what am I the King of? A bunch of pseudo-intellectuals, psycho ex-marines and my wife's wicked step-sisters? So be it.
Enjoy the thorne while you can. There will be a Marc Antony in your future.
