Huge Congrats to Blair Kiel for Winning the I2H Pool!

And to Scott Mackenzie for winning the Pick'em Pool.    It was a close battle with skully who is always near the top every year too.      How many times have you won Scott?   

Thanks, man.
All I know is, every year, Skully has me howling in my sleep.
I saw Blair's pick of Miami over the Pats and couldn't believe it.
Then I saw his other picks and couldn't believe Them.
And then they all kicked off, and my season ended in an avalanche of failure and horror and fear and sadness and despair.
The amazing thing to me is--I saw weird picks all year--and most of them were right and I was wrong.
Good thing I only lost my will to live and not any money.

Much like fantasy football I’m sure the general rule of thumb is nobody but us cares about our picking pool, but it was pretty amazing that -after something like 250 games it came down to the last two…I put a lot of thought into Miami over N.E. and Vegas over S.D….this solidifies my long-standing claim that I have superior knowledge of the game of football. 😀

You videotaped your opponent, didn't you?

Blair Kiel   =  awesome   

Scott Mackenzie   =  good job

No need.

I just imagined which team Fedya would pick…and then chose the other. I felt a little dirty, but it was a winning formula.

Thanks, skully.

I did.

I'm watching them all right now.

All I cared is that I didn't finish D F L in both contests. Mission accomplished.   

I hope you guys don’t mind that I keep bumping this. I had literally not won anything since Johnny Minor’s birthday party in 1967 where we had to guess the number of beans in a jar….I was closest and won a set of Daniel Boone playing cards. This is kind of like a bookend of major awards in my lifetime. Thanks for being here for it you guys.

“Huge” and “Blair Kiel” - words not very often paired together. So I’m told.

My shrink told me not to let little micro aggressions like that bring me down so I’m gonna ignore that without telling you to go have sex with yourself. This is MY day.

Tallest midget

I have superior knowledge of the game of football.

I've searched all over the webs and have not been able to find that youtube video. What a classic.

That was Diner, right?

It's 15 minutes, not 15 hours.

Congrats to the winners.

Meh, I spent a whopping 13 seconds every week picking games.

Did you win a Date with Henry? Tell him you want to go to Ruth Cris. I won a water hose one time. That was on par with your Daniel Boone Playing Cards.

Was it one of those fancy hoses that don't kink but really do?

Your standings indicate it.

It was 1977. I think mine was the original leather stitched together variety from Cave Man era. 

That’s when hoses were hoses.

Dirty Hoses?

Damn Thursday Night games I missed setting picks for 5 of those games this season.

It’s funny how you’re cruising along on a Wednesday and then…..Thursday happens. EVERY DAMN WEEK.

Yeah, but when you are retired, every day is Wednesday.

Or Thursday or most times really don't know unless it's the weekend

That’s why you need to mix things up during the week:

Monday: Dog park

Tuesday: Dog Park

Wednesday: The new BOGO ‘s (buy one get one) drop at Publix. Then Dog Park

Thursday: Dog Park

Friday: Dog Park

Don’t burn yourself out

I mix it up.

Sometimes I go to Publix on Thursday.

Thursday is always grocery shopping day unless I go on Wednesday or Friday.

Doesn't matter the day.  The grocery store is a great place to pick up chicks.

Lots of comedy here.

Reminds me of the comedy team of Ben Dover and C. Howie Fields.
