2000 Football Pool Weekly Update

Week Eleven

"Since you know how much I love the Norway ride at Disney World, I'm sticking with the proud Viking tradition and going for Minnesota this week. My dad is showing his union support and going for Detroit." --Jen Stein

"As I used to say oft as a child... go fish. Miami." --Vince Cook

It seems any rhyme or reason for picking a team is good enough these days. Over the last five weeks, three simple Sundays produced two losses OR LESS. Of course, the undefeated week was one of them. Is the National Football League that predictable this year? Or has everyone figured out the hidden nuances that allow Denver to beat Oakland but lose to Cincinnati? ...that allow New England to beat Indianapolis but lose to Cleveland? ...that allow San Diego to lose all ten of their first ten games? Even Cleveland's won three. What's going on down there?

"Vike me." --Jen Keller

If there were ever a bandwagon, Minnesota was it. Nearly 2/3 of the remaining contestants were Viked this week. And so were the Cardinals. And, of course, even the mini-bandwagons rolled with ease. Two lone voices stood out from the rest. Two people eschewed the bandwagons to make their own personal statement. Those two people took a loss. And one of them passed away as a result. We say goodbye to the team of Reims and Fenton, or as we have affectionately come to know them: 'ReimsFenton.' Who says two heads are better than one?

The standings*...

00 LOSS -- 3 Ghidrahs
01 LOSS -- 32 Januses
02 LOSS -- 43 Visiting Students
03 LOSS -- 53 Louis XVIs

Pick: SOON! Saturday at dawn is less than 24 hours away.
Repeat: DON'T! You will be sorry.
