Comments:Kellen Winslow. Shut your stupid mouth and play football. Quit your crying about GM Phil Savage not coming to see you in the hospital and how he thinks you are a piece of meat. Hello, I hate to be the one to tell you this but you are a piece of meat. You do not receive those $250,000.00 checks each week because of your superior intellect. You are a football player, not a brain surgeon. Grow up already, Soldier.

Braylon Edwards. Quit dropping the friggin football you idiot. You are frickin killing us already with the dropped passes. And quit making stupid comments about how you underestimated the Redskins. How does somebody who plays on a 2-4 team underestimate a good team??? Good teams underestimate lousy teams, You are on a lousy team. Part of the reason they are so lousy is because they are counting on you to catch passes for them each week, but you're dropping them by the bushel instead. You need to spend less time working on your touchdown celebration dances and more time on the fundamentals of the game ,like catching the ball. I think your intelligence and talent are overestimated.

Derek Anderson How can someone who went to the Pro bowl less than a year ago suck as bad as you do??? Your game is not even good by Arena league standards anymore. You can't manage the game, you cant read defenses, you cant throw the ball. You look like a bungling idiot out there. We have played 6 games and 4 and a half of those have been "bad games". Im guessing your about 1 more bad game away from being a former starting NFL quarterback like your buddy Charlie Frye.

Romeo Crennell Time is running out. You need to turn around this whining, crying, botching, bungling, heavily penalized, poorly coached, pack of morons, right now. This needs to change now or your fat ass will be fired before Thanksgiving. Your team is swirling the drain, and so is your Head coaching career. OUT

Comments:Hey Dave R

It's always good to hear from the guys in the NFL Swami European Division. Yeah, the Bills are off to a good start. They got the same easy schedule the Browns had last year. The Browns went 10-6 on that schedule. With Oak, Stl and Arz for your next 3, if your not 5-0 or at least 4-1, you got problems.

As for that 8-0 embarassment last season, I was at that blizzard, and it was certainly not a good day for football.

The Bills lost because their coach was afraid to kick a 30 yd field goal into 100 mph headwinds and driving snow, and punted, while the Browns coach was dumb enough to try a 43 yd field Goal in the same hurricane force winds. It was truly a miracle that the kick was good. He pretty much kicked the ball straight at his own bench, and the wind miraculously curved it around and thru the goal posts.
Oh yeah, the bills snapper sent one over the punters head for a safety and the browns kicked another 20 yard FG, but offense and especially passing was all but impossible that day. The game was here in Cleveland, but the weather was extremely bad, even by Buffalo standards

I think the players were more concerned about death from exposure and frostbite, as were the fans.
So I wouldnt call it an embarassment, you wouldnt have gone to the playoffs anyway, since you lost to the giants the next week and to philly the week after that, in good weather, so your problems were more than just Cleveland.

By the way, we didnt go to playoffs either, because we lost to the 7-9 Bengals in sickening fashion the next week.

As for a side bet, ask me around Nov 16 (that's 16 Nov for those in the Army). I wouldnt bet a wooden nickel on the Browns right now. I dont even know who our coach will be for that game. Our current coach is about to field goal his own ass, to the unemployment line.

Get Well Soon Browns

Isn't Cower available yet?

2.) Mr. Buckeye.... why run the option with the old lurpy white guy and not the young athletic black guy? Why can't you beat a good team, ever, outside the big ten, why are you out coached in every big game? Lose the vest you sissy homo.

After an impressive 2-0 start, my (usually disappointing) Bills have a shot at starting
5-0 before their bye week.

The real question is, "Can the Bills avenge an embarrassing 8-0 lost to the Browns on Monday Night Football, 17 Nov 2008"?

Side bets anyone?

The Defense sucks.

Secondary cant cover my gramma.

Joe Jurivisious hurt.
Braylon Edwardrs hurt
Derek Anderson concussed
Release Le charles Bentley, then 2 offensive lineman get hurt.
Donte stallworth hurt
Antwan Peek hurt

Whatever happened to Mason Unck???

Get punked by the Cowboys on opening Day in your own crib.

Tony Romo eating a sandwich and talking to Jessica simpsom on his cell phone while waiting in the pocket.

T.O roaming around wide open all day.

Down 28-7 in the 4th Quarter on 4th and 2 and we kick a field goal, for christ's sake!!!! For Morale building!!!!

PLEASE SHOOT ME !!!!

Both starting safeties hurt

Braylon Edwards busted going 120 mph on the freeway

Comments:Q: What do the Fighting Irish and Marijuana have in common?
A: They both get smoked in a bowl.

Q: Where do you go to in Indiana when there is a chance of a tornado?
A: Notre Dame Stadium. I hear they never get a touchdown there!
Q: What's the difference between the Notre Dame football team and a dollar bill?
A: You can still get four quarters out of a dollar bill.

Q: Why did O.J. hide in South Bend after killing his wife?
A: No one would ever think of looking for a football player there.

Two Notre Dame fans were walking down the street when they came upon a dog lying on the sidewalk licking and cleaning his groin like dogs do. The first Notre Dame fan says to the second, "Boy, I wish I could do that." The second Notre Dame fan replies, "Yeah, me too. But I wouldn't try it." The first Notre Dame fan asks, "Why not?" The second Notre Dame fan replies, "Because I'm afraid the dog might bite me."

Little Johnny was in his 4th grade class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up - fireman, policeman, salesman, etc... Johnny was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.

"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes, if the offer's really good, he'll go out to the alley with some guy and make love with him for money."

The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some coloring, and took Little Johnny aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"

"No," said Johnny, "He is an assistant coach for Notre Dame, but I was too embarrassed to say so."

Name: STEELERS CRUSH BROWNS AGAIN
Comments:Well its week 2 of the NFL season and another Cleveland Browns season of hope has come to a tragic end with their 34-7 abomination at Cleveland Stadium on Sunday.

They gave it all they had, but it wasn't quite enough against a mediocre Steeler team that went 8-8 last season.

Charlie Frye playing as though the football was super glued to his hand was brave as he stood in the pocket and took sack after sack. 5 sacks in all, 1 interception and 34 yds of passing before the call to the bullpen went out early in the 2nd quarter. Frye becomes the first Quarterback in NFL history to start for his team in week 1 and be traded before week 2.

New Browns punter Peter Ernstler gave the steelers their first touchdown by dropping his first snap as a Cleveland Brown and setting the steelers up at the cle 22 on a play that featured a NFL record 4 penalties on the same team. (2 defensive holdings, an illegal formation and a ineligible downfield kick, all on the same play) Only 7 Browns players were not penalized on the play.

Big free agent aquisition Jamal Lewis contributed to the buffonery by fumbling the ball away at the Cle40. The Cleve secondary was scorched for a 40 TD pass on the very next play as Santonio Holmes streaked wide open right down the middle of the field without a Cleveland Brown defender in shouting distance.

The Browns Defense provided little opposition as the Steeler offense rolled up and down the field all day long crushing the confused and bewildered Browns Defense like an empty beer can. Big Ben Roethlisberger threw touchdown, after touchdown, after touchdown, after touchdown, and willie Parker rushed for 109 yds.

After the game Coach Romeo Crennel said quote "We didn't play good at all and there's no explanation I can give for it"unquote.

Despite their sickening performance vs. the Steelers, the Browns hope to bounce back this week against the Cincinnati Bengals. A team that soundly thrashed the Browns twice last year, including a 30-0 appalling embarrassment at Cleveland Stadium.

Ocho Cinco has promised a special show for the few Browns fans who bother to show up for the game.

It is not known yet if Josh Cribbs will guarantee a victory, like he did for the Steelers game.

Comments:Ok, I know what you are all thinking. Poolmaster you suck, You are incompetent, You idiot, You got drunk Saturday, and slept all day Sunday, You dumb ass, you forgot to pay the web site bill again, You moron, you let your stupid brother run the web page again.

Well none of these are true this time. In fact I had nothing to do with it this time. I was just a poor victim of a "WEB SERVER ERROR". A "WEB SERVER ERROR" is just what it sounds like. It is where the server that my web resides at, has some sort of unknown error, for some unknown reason???? And when you go to upload your web site, like I did on Saturday afternoon, Windows gives you a "WEB SERVER ERROR" message and any web page updating stops immediately right there.

Then Poolmaster also notices that that web site has somehow reverted back to the Sunday Nov 5 2006 update even though he distinctly remembers successfully updating the web site on Wed Nov 8 2006 with the winners for Week 9. Feeling he stuck is in some twisted time warp Poolmaster is just left scratching his head and wondering "what the fuck"????.

Poolmaster suspects something is wrong, but doesn't really know what is wrong, plus the Poolmaster's real job does not allow him the time to screw around all Saturday afternoon trying to figure out a problem that probably has nothing to do with him anyway, so he figures he will just ignore the problem and hopefully it will just go away on its own. After all it is a "WEB SERVER ERROR" which should mean that it has nothing to do with my equipment or software. It's them, not me, I'm sure they must notice this and will fix the problem. That's why I pay them. That was the Poolmaster's mistake

But of course Sunday morning rolls around and we still have "WEB SERVER ERROR". Poolmaster immediately attempts to lash out in anger at his Web site hosting company, only to find out that his web host's customer service does not even work on Sunday's, so the Poolmaster is reduced to sending futile email messages to his web host's closed offices. Needless to say, I got no response.

In fact I discovered that since I have NFL SWAMIS. COM on the "Budget Hosting Plan" I do not rate phone tech support even if they are open, They will only communicate with me via email.

So finally , late Monday evening, one of my emails finally broke through and someone over at my webhost's office pushed the reset button and all the "WEB SERVER ERRORS" went away and all is good again. The only damage done is a less than satisfactory Week #10 for everyone and the Poolmaster's blood pressure up a few points.

So for the second time in the last 45 days, I come to this forum to humbly apologize for any inconvenience or damages this Poolmaster, his website, or webhosting company, may have caused you. And my web site hosting company(who shall remain nameless for obvious reasons)also sends along their sincerest regrets as well.

Excellent work everyone (except for 3. You know who you are) for having the intelligence to understand that their was a problem with the Swami web site and the determination to not be shut out by some stupid "WEB SERVER ERROR" and overcoming that problem by sending me an email, with your picks on it, ON TIME. Thumbs up to you Swamis.

Oh and thank you Mike J for your kind words of nearly 8 months ago. It is words like that that keep this poolmaster with his 44 percent 15 year ATS winning percentage at his post and happily carrying out his duties.
I'm currently working on your bust carving out in my garage. I'm making it from wolmanized lumber so you can display it outdoors in front of the house.

My sincerest condolences go out to Lecharles Bentley and the Cleveland Browns on their 2006 season's untimely demise in early August again this year. I hope all those torn ligaments heal up well for you.

On a lighter note, I have decided on a green motif for the web page this year, green like the field turf the games are played on, green like the money I probably will pay at the end of the season, green like the ganja in Ricky Williams water bong. Enjoy the green.

Thats it for now, back to the basement, Just want to let everyone know the pool is on again this year.

Thank you for another excellent job running the pool this year. Hats off to you for finally getting a pair and implementing the "All picks in before first kickoff" rule. I heard you made it out of the basement twice this season as a result. I will be available just about every weekend from mid-July to mid-August for the induction ceremony, however my people will need at least a month's notice to make arrangements, my size is 44 long for the gold Hall of Fame blazer, and I can drop off a picture of myself to use as the model for the Hall of Fame bust.

Next season starts in 247 days.

How could we ever forget our favorite glassy-eyed "waitress". The man (allegedly) who left his lowly job as a bar-backup in a drab and dreary mid-western city to become...well..a bar back-up in Las Vegas. You see Nick, where you come from popping tops off Coors Light on Sundays is considered skilled labor. You had a career with a bright future, and you broke your family's heart by throwing it all away to chase some crazy dream. Well at least the move has improved your grammar and spelling to a third grade level. I had always thought Vegas was considered a vast intellectual wasteland. Boy was I wrong!

As far as the picking teams blast, last time I checked you were 30th out of 32 in both ATS and Straight-Up. And you thought you're high rolling Vegas "johns" were giving you the inside scoop......silly boy!

Comments:I take exception to your "pulling up our skirt" comment. Just because we ran that wide receiver reverse play to Northcutt in every pre season game doesn't mean we are "pulling up our skirt". We ran that play in every regular season game last season and it came very close to being a big play for our football team. Just because that play averages -8 yards in the times weve tried it, doesn't make it any less tricky and deceptive. Besides weve been working on a few new wrinkles to that play that I think you are going to like. But I am keeping those under my skirt, if you know what I mean.

Well.......well.........well....looks like another Stoli-O and Oreo cookie induced Saturday evening binge at "Ole La Casa El Stone"

But instead of the usual chasing your cat around the condo, wearing nothing but your boxer shorts and a Jedi warrior mask, you decided to live on the edge, bang away at your Commodore 64 and fire the initial 2004 shot over the bow.

Well done!!

This is pre-season, and unlike Butch Davis, I do not plan on "pulling up my skirt" and showing every gadget play I have in my smak page arsenal. However, I would like to offer a couple of comments on your first, albeit somewhat rambling, entry.

1) Feel free to mix in capitalization of proper nouns when required. Yea....Yea....I know you Gen X'rs get this subversive rush when you don't follow rules, but c'mon already!

2) I won't get into the spelling. I will attribute the type-o's to Oreo crumbs getting stuck between the keys.

3) You are correct as far as leveling the playing field versus my wife. I now realize that the Sunday morning coffee visits were not "bonding time with Daddy" but were actually a chance for an ex-bookie, grrrrrrrrrrrr!! handicapper to pipeline his picks. She'll be locked in the shed on Sundays until the 8PM ESPN game kickoff this season.

Well, as I've mentioned this is pre-season and like the big boys in Berea right now, my timing's not right and I need to get used to working with some new faces. So, I will see you back on the smak page after my two-a-days end, locked and loaded. I'm looking foward to a great smak page season. Bryan continues to provide me quality fodder on a daily basis, so this could be my breakout year.

Stoney, not a bad start, definately not regular season worthy yet. However, it's something to build on. Look at it this way, you can only get better from here.

Out,

this message is a wake up call to all fellow swamis. school is almost in session and i hope you are doing your summer reading. no more mr.nice guy, last year was a fluke that will not repeat itself. so i got beat by a guy that wears diapers, so what, he beat all of you also. i mean come on, mike's wife beat him ATS. that right there proves that we few bright individuals were not bad at picking winners, only that the majority got lucky making sensless picks that [only god knows why]came to pass. i think the pool master said it best,"i make the right picks, the teams just aren't performing". well said mike!

bryan,bryan,bryan,it looks like you have to find a new team this year. picking the titans this year looks like it might get you less wins than taking the browns. scary thought. good luck on finding a new team to ride.

pam,this year it is time to take off the training wheels.
you are a big girl and you can make decisions on your own. if you want to play with the big boys, no more help from daddy! love ya.

mike,snap out of it. pretend every game is monday night football. that seems to be the only game you get right. you seem to know what you are talking about. hopefully my comments to pam will even the playing field and give you a shot at the Jezorski Cup. i know you want it on your side of the bed!good luck

all this thinking is hurting my brain. i shall continue my onslaught of the human psychi at a later date. i am looking forward to answering for my comments, i expect some brutal shit from all of you. see you all in september!

Comments:Fellow Swamis -

After receiving that dreaded "Football Bill 2004" e-mail this morning from Poolmaster Mike and his sadistic "....better luck next year...." closing I've come to grips with the reality that this season is almost over.

So as I eagerly look forward to yet another over-hyped "thriller" won by the Patriots 8 to 5 on Super Bore Sunday, I'd like to take a few minutes to look back on this season and recognize several people who made this another interesting year:

Poolmaster Mike - Thank you for another efficiently run website and pool. Your top notch in my book and I mean that! Perhaps the day will come when your brother will learn that the internet is much more than just on-line poker and Amish porn, sparing him the aggravation of his "Dot-Dot-Dash" Dewey Decimal tracking system. However, until he takes that great leap into the 21st century, I'll continue to enjoy watching him in a drunken haze struggle with his shreds of paper in nicotine stained hands trying to remember if he put a dot next to St. Louis or not.

Props to you for actually getting out of the basement TWO TIMES this season (you and Karl are rewriting the NFL Swami record books!!) Looks like the agoraphobia concern running rampant throughout the pool earlier this season has quieted down for now. Thank you for your patience in putting up with the endless Sunday afternoon cell phone calls from my wife (and you thought your brother has a stalker!!)Thank you for your tireless efforts to track down the origins of the Rebellious Finger. It's great Americans like yourself that allow us to wake up under the flag of freedom everday, and I for one salute you.

Karl - Congratulations on a fine season. According to NFL Swami historians a first ever (ATS and Straight Up winner)You almost had the hat trick buddy!! Now I know you were hoping for the sweep so that you could "trip" out your new Rascal Scooter. Not to worry, that sled will still be "phat" with a leather seat. Just take it easy on aisle 4 at Tops there Speedy!

Pickle - I may have finished a disappointing 6th in the ATS this season but thank you for making me look like a genius and tanking the last half of the season, fullfilling the prediction I made on September 22nd. Now you can look forward to what really excites you on Super Bowl Sunday, the commercials. I'm sure you'll be giving that remote a workout banging back and forth between the World Series of Poker and Super Bowl commercials. Feel free to mix in the actual game at any point, you might learn something. Just for old times sakes though, who do you prefer, the Flaming Fucia of Carolina or the Renegade Red of New England? You can fill me in on whether or not Brittany makes out with Jessica in a Pepsi ad later. I, like most fans, will be in the can during commercials. Just out of curiosity, will the head shaving go off as planned the week after Super Bowl? Or have you and Bryan agreed on something more gatifying like naked wet towel snapping? If it's OK with you, I'll pass on tickets for that one.

Oh, and before before you get off a "Dude......you're wife was higher in the standings than you" blast I'd like to make it public knowledge on this forum (and something I pray to God you never witness first hand) that I talk in my sleep. I now know that the notebook sitting on the nightstand was not "a diary of my dreams" as Pam originally told me, but in fact my nocturnal ramblings of the picks I WANTED ON SUNDAY! In essence I finished ahead of you, so keep your pie-hole shut!

B-R-I-A-N - I know this is kind like of arguing over who is tougher, the French or the Italians, but the facts are this:

2003 ATS
Mike J 54.6%
B-R-I-A-N 52.7%

SCOREBOARD!!!!!!! That's 2 years in a row my friend! Can you spell dynasty?.......Oh hell you can't even spell your first name so never mind.
Instead of a Titans sweatshirt I should have given you a "I'm Mike J's ATS Bitch" sweatshirt.

Until the NFL Draft in April, have fun watching bowling and NECKCAR everyone!

I am out!

Comments:Hello to all. First and formost i would like to give a shout out to Yul and Telly. Good work guys that picture was beautiful. Brian you got kind of a whole Vin Diesel thing goin on. Its real sexy the chicks will love it. Yeah anyways. Maybe you should ask Santa for a new hat this year. Your gonna need it since you just keep fallin down the ladder every week. Yul and Telly as for you guys i just wanna say thanks for given all of us a glimpse into brians future. Telly "Who loves you Baby."

Now i would like to address the my public and apologize for not runnin smack last week. I was felling a little under the weather and was not able to type. For those of you who were devistated and gave up all hope on life. I do apologize. I will make it up to you by giving one of my picks this week i suggest everyone follows it. Chicago all the way. Now thats it i give away no more. I cant do it all for you guys.

Mike J my uncle allways told me not to kick a man whiles hes down. Of course my uncle is a flamming homo sexual who looks like Freddy Mercury. So he can shove that advice right up his ass. So at this time i will take my first stab at smack master himself and see what kinda blood i can draw. I want you to realize that you are getting that severly beaten in this pool. By a guy that couldnt tell you the difference between a linebacker and a point guard. There are point guards in football right. Shit thats hockey. Anyways whatever. My suggestion is that you start lookin over Pams shoulder when she making her picks and try to learn a thing or two. Because from the looks of your stats so far this year. You dont know what the hell your doin. Even Brians beating you. Thats just pathetic. But i want you to know Pickle is here to help. Its what i do. For just $20 bucks i will teach you my special color picking technique. Just think you to can pick em like the pros and for just $5 more i will let you rub my lucky side burns. They are magical i tell you. Mike im just doin this cause i like you. So you might want to take advantage of this once in a liftime chance. If not good luck in this long marathon we have all embarked on. Wait Mike what are you still doin at the starting line. Silly Mike we started five weeks ago good luck catching up.

I for one applaud your swift and decisive action. Others might say "Hey, what's the big deal?, he just forgot to put his dot on the paper and only picked 4 games" Well folks, behavior like that could be the first step on the path to hell. If a young and impressionable guy like "B-R-I-A-N" knows he can get away with something like this........what's next?.......Hanging out in a bar every night???......Developing a compulsive disorder to constantly steal cigarette lighters from unsuspecting bar patrons???......multiple ATM card scams????.......evading local income taxes????.......the list is endless and scary.

Thank you Poolmaster Mike for your firm hand. Your actions probably saved someone a life of decadence.

Honest Abe - A solid piece of police work! After you're finished solving the Jon Benet Ramsey and Simpson/Goldman Murders, can you check out a few leads for me? Pickle told me a few years ago he pulled the "Do not remove under penalty of law" tag off a mattress and as a child actually tried to step on a crack to break his grandmother's back.

I'm 10-8 (that's police code that only Honest Abe and me know about!)

Comments:Thanks Honest Abe I didnt catch that one. I guess I just assumed GRAU would be able to count to 5 on his own. But going back to last weeks pick sheet, in GRAU's own handwriting, which I still possess, I do see that GRAU only picked 4 games against the spread last week. So he will be duly awarded another ATS loss for being unable to produce 5 (five) spread picks last week. I guess he forgot to put the dot next to tennessee again. How unfortunate for him.
How bout another Coors light
It is the alertness and honesty, of people like Honest Abe that help protect the integrity of the pool and its upstanding pool members from the more shady, seedy, alchohol soaked, riff raff that sometimes infiltrate the ranks of the nflswamis. Our stovepipe hats are off to you Honest Abe. Its People like you that made this country great. Thank you and god bless America.

Pool Master - please correct lil G's record to 3-2 / 60%, the more I think about it maybe it should be a big o'fer 5 since some cannot follow the rules. Cin, Phi, SF, G.B. = 4 games played, not 5.

Comments:Hello friends of mine,

Well as i predicted i rocked last week for you guys that payed attention. I was a shoe in for both wins goin into monday night. Out of pity for you guys i took Oakland to give someone else a chance to shine in the glory. Your welcome Stoney and Karl, but even in my attempt of good deeds i still managed to tie Stoney. Hooray for me! To be honest i dont care about the week to week. I am in it for the whole thing. So as i dominate this fourth week as well. I just wanna say dont get down guys. Remember we are all winners in gods eyes. Just keep tellin yourselves that.

Anyways, it seems i am making all kinds of new friends on this smack page. I would like to address one of my new friends at this time. So GRAU you chose to battle with me. Well let tell you what i have lined up for you this year. Not only will i destroy in this pool, but im also gonna run special smack to you my friend every week for the rest of the season. So come end of January when i have mentally demolished you with my witty comments each week and have shaved evey hair off your head. Oh dont worry chicks dig bald guys just ask Richard. You will see,and fall to your knees to praise your new football god. A man that has redefined picking games. Yes, yours truly Pickle "the Pick" Baudo. Now kiss my feet and you go get me a coors light.

Now Mike J dont think i didnt read the crap you wrote about. I did, but i was laughing so hard from reading the stuff you wrote about brian. I totally let it role of my back. You are truly a artistatrunnin smack. Even the shot you took at me was kinda funny. I would retaliate this week, but i see im going to need some time to prepare for you. You much more educated then Brian and not as easy to chop down. But when i am ready i will make you believe and bow down to me as your football god as well. As for now keep up the good work on Brian thats funny stuff man.

For the rest of you sheep watch out and dont wind up like these guys. Do not talk smack to me. just follow my picks and you still might stand a chance. Because Pickle Rocks!!!!!!! and so do my Pork Chops!!! Dont ever mess with a man with pork chops.

P.S. Kelly you suck at pickin games im gonna kick your ass too.

Comments:"B-R-I-A-N":

I had a hunch that smell of burning wood last night was actually coming from you as you sat in your room feverishly typing away a response. To say I'm disappointed in the response would be an understatement. I guess you were unable to draw your creative aura by staring at the G.E.D. certificate nailed to the wall (too bad, looks like 5 years of hard work went down the drain!) Either that or you were too focused on polishing off your take-home Great Dane in yet another drunken haze. So instead it was yet another tired and worn out "drag the wife and kids into the fray"........yawn......

I raise the smak terrorist alert level from yellow to orange and unleash my "Shock and Awe Campaign", and the only retaliation are spitballs??!!! I can't wait for your next bombshell, will it be, "My brother can beat up your brother", or "I'm made of rubber, your made of glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks on you"." or "I know you are but what am I??" or how about "Nyaaa, Nyaaa"

Well, it's obvious my efforts to raise the bar in this cyber "Think Tank" has failed. It's time to get out of the sandbox and direct my attention to my sputtering ATS season.(yes "B-R-I-A-N", I admit it's pitiful but, AS YOU HAVE ALWAYS SAID FOR YEARS...."It's a marathon not a sprint")

I see you decided to jump into the deep end of the mindless cesspool of Poolmaster Mike's smak page. Welcome!

I agree totally with you're original smak posting. You are my worst nightmare. There are two things that totally freak me out,circus clowns........and 6'2" dudes with West Virginia pork chop sideburns nicknamed "Pickle". (I'm still fearing the day I hear the true phallic origination of this nickname)

I hate to tell you this "Pickle", but the Travel Channel does not have a show called "The World Series of Football Betting" for you to watch and glom all your picks off of. So when sanity returns to the league in a few weeks and you start losing games because you're "A Lion can eat a Bear so I'll take Detroit" picks blow up in your face, you'll be forced to do some real handicapping and start slugging it out on Pork Chop Hill (pun intended here dude!) with the rest of us.

Now, I suggest you go down to your basement and start banging away on your Commodore 64 boning up for the rest of the season. Feel free to mix in a razor every so often

Anyways, on a lighter note i just wanna take some time to adress a topic. I think the people of this site will appreciate. There has been a side challenge issued yo me by long pool veteran Brian Grau. Some of you might know him as Grau. This man chose a battle with the wrong man. Fore some odd reason this man has a obsession with my side burns. Yes people, my side burns. I mean dont get me wrong i do have big sideburns "Pork chops" some might call them. Even though i have grown quite fond of them over the years i have chose to wager them in this little bet. In return if i beat Brian Grau or Grau as we call him. I will get to shave his whole entire head with a disposable Bic razor at his favorite location as you all know Slam Jams. Since he doesnt have a chance in hell against my color technique. We will be shaveing him the weekend after super bowl sunday. Tickets are still availible but they are going fast. E mail me for details.

Thank you for your time folks

Here am I minding my own business working out the early season kinks and I get Pearl Harbored by the likes of you??!!

1) When did you sober up long enough to string together some gramtically correct passages? (or did Kelly help you with big words?)
2) Based on the lack of typo's it looks like your no longer trying to type with a Coors Light in one hand and a Marlboro Light in the other.
3) When and where did Don put the cyber room in? and how did you find time from your "busy" evening social schedule to compose this?

As you so eloquently put it "it's a sprint, not a marathon" (gee, I wonder where you heard that?, good thing you don't plagerize, some people go to jail for that!) Now, go back to sleep in your pimpn' mobile and leave your usual Noon Sunday wake-up call with Richard (You know........the one where he taps on your car window dangling the keys to the bar saying "Bryan......lookeee......lookeee....time to get up!"

Your blast has me thinking:
1) You must have been sober long enough that day to coherently string together a couple of random thoughts in a fashion that is gramatically correct (or did Kelly help you with the big words?)
2) The lack of typing errors looks like you're no longer sitting at your keyboard with a Coors Light in your right hand and Marlbaro Ultra Light in the other trying to type with your nose.......congrats!
3) Where and when did Don install the cyber room which allows you the ability to get on-line? and for god sakes how did you find time from your "busy" evening social schedule to even put together this smak?

OK, OK, you fired the shot over the bow. But remember as you so eloquently put it "it's a sprint, not a marathon" (nice to see you don't plagarize other people's lines!) Now, go back to sleep in your pimpn' mobile and leave your special wake up call for Sunday morning with Richard (you know.....the one where he taps on the glass and dangles the keys to the door saying "Bryan......lookeee, lookeee.......time to get up!!!!!"

Comments:This could be "my" year? Are you f__ing kidding me? Last year was my year to win until some A-hole (who will remain anonymous), who had absolutely nothing to lose, goes 80% on my azz and steals my kids school tuition money. The last few months haven't done anything to make me forget that horrible nightmare called the NFL season. That's the "slop" part of this football pool that I totally dislike and disagree with, and therefore won't be a part of any mo! It is both an EMOTIONAL and FINANCIAL decision, made by me, on Sept. 4th, 2003.

I have mucho macho bills to pay, 3 kids (all girls) and wife (original) to feed and clothe, private school tuition due (thanks, a-hole, you know who you are) , and a slow economy to deal with. $4.00 a week times 4 weeks= $16.00=liter of Canadian Club. OR give Pool master & Assoc. the money and kiss it goodbye.

I can not and will not be a part of this season, especially when Ddave has a chance to three-peat. You will never hear the end of it when Ddave wins this year. That's right, I said "when" , I'm routing for Ddave to win the pool this year. Go Ddave!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, I don't care about your stupid Cowboys and Niners picks for the NFC championship. Please keep them to yourself!

Mr. Poolmaster, I have to say you are a true professional and run a great football pool, except for that one late point spread change you made, still a bad call, blaming a misprint on the newspaper. I think it was a "Rams" game???

Good luck to All John G

According to local gossip, (Dave) word is "The Gers" is having doubts about whether he wants to participate in this years football pool.. When I inquired Dave as to why "The Gers" was down on the pool, he seemed to think the reasons were more emotional than financial. Perhaps the stress of coming so close, to winning football pools ultimate prize so many times, and then exploding in a fiery ball of flames in the final weeks of the season had become too much for him to deal with.
Well as your Poolmaster, I feel it is my obligation to try and lift your spirits a bit and provide a little motivation to you. The loss of such a highly esteemed and charismatic pool member would be loss to all of us here at NFL SWAMIS.com.
For inspiration, you need to look no further than Dave. Here's a guy who's picks were so lousy for so many years he was the laughingstock of the pool. He was picking the Rams against the Niners for years and the rams hadn't beat the niners in ten years. They were 0-21. And so were Daves picks. Last place year after year. Dave and the Rams. Totally pathetic losers.
And then one season, something very strange happened, the rams won a game. And if that wasn't shocking enough a week later Dave wins a game. Then the rams win another game and then dave wins another game and the next thing you know the rams are beating the niners and dave is going 5-0 and winning a weekly pot ATS. And then the whole world just spiralled out of control and the rams were going to Super bowl and world Champions and Dave was winning the Season Pool. No longer was it the Niners and Cowboys playing for the World Championship in the NFC Championship game each season, but all kinds of screwy teams have been winning world championships, even AFC teams, like the Baltimore Crows, Boston Patriots and the Tampa Bay Pirates. And Dave wins back to back Season ATS pools. MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!, HOW CAN THIS BE!!!!!!!!!!
This abnormal trend cant last forever. The Rams are almost back to last place again and dave cant be to far behind.
I too am somewhat depressed over the state of the NFL and the Pool. While I have won 5 Season Championships to your 0 that leaves 7 seasons where I didnt win everything and that doesn't sit very well with me, being the old, proud football pool warrior that I am. While my season may have exploded in a fiery ball of flames in week 3 it doesnt make me feel any better about it.

And if you refuse to participate in this years pool, I will give you an 0-5 every single week and post the web page every week with you in last place at 0-50. So you might as well make the picks or I will make them for you and tell everyone that you picked them. And then I will bill you for them at the end of the year. That was the motivational part.

So, put a jersey on, put on your eye black and get your game face on, and lets get ready to rumble, FOOTBALL POOL 2003 will kickoff THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 4 at 8PM EST. Have your picks in for that game.

Cmon gers, This could be your year.

I am going to remain optimistic, I think could be the year when the Niners and Cowboys return to the Super Bowl errrrrr NFC Championship Game.

Just in case you dont receive this message I will post it on the Football Pool Smak board so you can read it there if you want.

Your hopeful Poolmaster Mike

Comments:Greetings Pool meisters, This is your poolmaster checking in with his State of the Pool/NFL address for the first quarter of the season. I will take this opportunity to run my weak smak, despite my less than stellar performance picking winners. My 17th place(40-34 6-8 this week) in the straight-up, while poor by my standards, is more an indicator of the poor play, on the field, by certain teams that I pick and not in any way an indictment of my judgement or ability to pick winners. After all they were all good picks, the teams just could not execute on the field. Much like the rams/goats are the best 0-5 team in football, I feel like I am the best 17th place handicapper out there. Any one who wants 17th place has got to go through me. With a little cooperation from a few of these disgusting, pathetic, parity ridden, fumbling, bungling, poorly coached, helmetless, overly conservative, football teams I may make it to 16th place some day.
The ATS is a slightly more rosy situation for me. 1 game over .500, in the top 10 (9th) and only a 5-0 away from the top 3 and only the early season "lucky people" ahead of me. I see John G for genious has already been toppled from his lofty perch after a 1-4 week. Obviously working harder on his smak than on his picks. Last time Ron won the pool, bell bottoms and large afros were the rage and Tony Dorsett led the league in rushing. Speaking of blasts from the past, I'm glad to see the 1998 ATS Champ Bryan is back. We have not heard anything from him since he won that ATS title way back near the end of the last century. I see the Dave and Steely Show have taken their act to 16th and 20th place respectively. Hey Steely, Where did you go??? You shot below me so fast all I could see was a blur.(1-9 the last 2 weeks????) Dave, nice to see you pull down your first Monday night football win of the season in week 5 (0-4 SU and ATS on MNF) Hopefully your beloved rams can pull down their first W of the season someday soon also. As for the rest of you, "young guns" who have only been around only a few years, Dave S and Denny (not a prayer), Mike J(have another beer), Kelli (you can't be serious), Stoney(who???) Bob (now I know the league is screwy this year) you had better get up early in the morning, train hard, eat your wheaties, renew your pro football weakly subscription, and make that $25.00 phone call to Vegas Vics guaranteed hotline, if you still want to be in this horse race on week 17. I think I feel a 5-0 comin on. OUT

Comments:Steely-

In answer to your question, an "underdog" is the opposite of a "favorite" in sports betting. A bookmaker will try to even up the betting line by giving or "spotting" the "underdog", or perceived loser, a specific number of points prior to the contest. So long as the underdog finishes the game within this pre-determined point spread, you are a winner. I realize this may be a difficult concept for you to understand (Pete Rose still has not figured it out!) but give it a try some week, the results may surprise you.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding employment opportunities at Ceasars Palace Sports & Race Book. Unfortunately, at this time we do not have a position of "NFL Swami" that you requested. To be honest if I were to hire a person with a 50% winning percentage, I would be out of a job, relegated to being just another hack picking games for $4 a week against women and 9 year old boys. I'm returning the "Dave & Steely Show" bumper stickers and T-shirts that you sent. Even in a town like Las Vegas, I find that to be both hopelessly pretentious and self-serving. In addition, I would appreciate if you would stop calling my private line to scream "STEELY RULES" and then hang up after every score update during Sunday games. Continued acts of this nature would force me to pursue legal action

Congratulations on your very unlikely Playoff Payoff Championship. Your genious St. Louis all the way pick (oops you changed that at 4:17PM) I mean your St. Louis to win N.E and the points pick (oops you changed that at 6:28PM) I mean that New England all the way pick, while lacking in conviction, common sense and good judgment and no doubt motivated by pure greed was nonetheless rewarded by the hapless, pathetic, St. Louis Rams who seemed to have left their "A" game down on Bourbon Street somewhere. I guess that will be the end of the great St.Louis Goat/ Curt Warner Dynasty. It ended almost as quick as the Green Bay/ Brett Favre dynasty. Maybe we will see you in Super Bowl MMMCCCXXXVVVIII goats.
Thank you NFL for another highly unpredictable Season. I would have never guessed it would be New England back in September or even 2 weeks ago for that matter. I will be looking forward to seeing the Carolina Panthers and the Houston Texans fight it out in next years Super Bowl. Those are my early season 2003 predictions.
Oh yea, Steely thanks for ruining my Super Bowl Sunday, I was perfectly content with my New England all the way pick and my 999 to 1 shot that New England would actually win that game. I was also 99.9 % sure that none of the 6 leaders would be FOOLISH enough to take New England to win, especially you, after your stupid Steely the human calculator foolishness that cost you the regular season pool, but I was wrong. I guess I either underestimated your courage or overestimated your intelligence. I am still not sure which??? Congratulations anyway

Congratulations on winning this years Playoff Payoff (prematurely of course) and I am happy to hear that the competition was up to your high standards.
John G had similar hopes and dreams coming in to this weekends wildcard games. Being the defending Playoff Payoff Champion and all, it just seemed to be a foregone conclusion, that once again, he would just wake up on Saturday morning and all of the weekends winners would just magically pop into his head, and he could just go ahead and focus on what kind of trash talk he would run on everyone.
Sadly, a tragic thing happened to John G this weekend, It all started with the Philly Eagles crushing his Tampa bay all the way pick (0-70 in cold weather) into the cold Philly astro turf, and ended tearfully the following afternoon with the Baltimore Ravens mercilessly pummeling the sadsack Miami Dolphins in their own house. When the weekend was over he was 2-6 and Playoff Payoff 2002 was all but over before the spreads even came out for the Divisional Playoffs. Another tragic case of SUDDEN DEATH PLAYOFF. Don’t let this happen to you Steely. It would just break my heart to see another former Champion struck down, pathetically like John G was this weekend. OUT
