2000 Football Pool Weekly Update

Week Six

"Mr. Ducey Sir: I have a bad feeling about this week for some reason. I am going to pick the NY Jets. I believe in 'Broadway Joe,' and if he guarantees a win, I gotta believe..." --Shamos, November 16, 1998 (RIP)

Two years later and the results are the same. No Broadway Joe. No Park Avenue Vinnie. No offense to speak of. The New York Jets have caused a cold wind to blow across the football pool, taking many lives along with it.

"This might be a mistake, but I believe Da Bears are back on track." --Smith (RIP)

What track that is, no one knows. The Bears, who came into the weekend 1-and-4, took out a chunk of their own. The Chicago Bears. I don't even know what to say to that. Just having to live the next 46 weeks with the knowledge that picking the Bears eliminated you should be punishment enough.

"Quote from Denzel, 'The Titans struck fear in the Gods.' I guess their gonna kill the Bengals." --Lozano

On the other side of the ball, the Titans put another nail in the Bengals' coffin, though not before giving lowly Cincinnati a fair chance to win the game. But still, in the end...

"Tenneseein' is Tennebelievin'!!" --McKinney, September 9, 1999 (RIP)

The leader board has shrunk considerably. After only six weeks of the 2000 season, a scant nine (9) contestants remain undefeated. The bottle-neck is thinning out. Actually, the bottle-neck is moving to the second-place slot, where 67 people still only have to look up one level to see the brass ring. And sadly, there was death this week. The New York Jets crashed, carrying Breehey, Corwin, Crowley, John Dickshot, Finn, Chris Jensen, McGill, McGuigan, The McKinneys, Sheron, Lisa Sitzman, and 1998 Champion Craig Kessler. And in a related story, the Chicago Bears mauled Blasucci, Shamos, and Smith to death.

The standings...

00 LOSS -- 9 Immunity Challenge winners
01 LOSS -- 64 Reward Challenge winners
02 LOSS -- 37 Nearly voted off the island
03 LOSS -- 21 Stuck in the Big Brother house

And so we head into Week Seven with 110 left standing. Picks are due before Saturday at dawn. And in case you hadn't heard: No repeat picks.

"May the best mediocre untrackable inconsistent team win!" --Sullivan

Amen.
