Well, my Bears are 3-0, so that is nice. Carolina finally got a win. And The Worm gets to have his picks reviewed:
NYJ +5.5 over BUFFALO – Nice start for the WORM and for Pennington: 1-0
Cincinnati +2 over PITTSBURGH – Another good call, although I thought this was an easy one: 2-0
INDY -7 over Jacksonville – push, and the first of the year: 2-0-1
Tennessee +11 over MIAMI – Right on my man: 3-0-1
Washington -4 over HOUSTON – Can he challenge Brunell’s record?: 4-0-1
Chicago -3.5 over MINNESOTA – My Bears got the win, but sadly didn’t cover, sorry about that: 4-1-1
Carolina -3 over TAMPA BAY – 2 goods things from the Panthers: Kasey, and they learned how to hit (ask Luke’s boy’s spleen): 4-2-1
Green Bay +6.5 over DETROIT – just by a nose, thank Favre: 5-2-1
Baltimore -6.5 over CLEVELAND – took a 4th quarter flourish for the win, but no cover: 5-3-1
Arizona -4.5 over St. Louis – Warner is the man: 5-4-1
New York Giants +3.5 over SEATTLE – not so fast my friend, Seattle made it look easy getting points this week, and thanks Lee: 5-5-1
Illadelph -6 over San Francisco – Good call, but what does beat the brakes off actually mean?: 6-5-1
NEW ENGLAND -7 over Denver – hahaha, Belicheck’s ego has finally caught up with him: 6-6-1
ATLANTA -3.5 over New Orleans – Umm NO. I’m not big into the wole rebuilding NO thing, but ATL got taken to the woodshed: 6-7-1
Lead Pipe Locks: Baltimore, Philly and Atlanta : 1-2 Pretty lackluster here again this week. You shouldn;t be missing the locks because, well, they are locks.
Overall record: 20-25-1
Another losing week. This of course is unacceptableExpect some improvement or perhaps you will see Slim visiting your local church for a free meal. And I wouldn’t follow the Locks until Calhoun gets his leprechaun back.
In a new section, we ask for the great WORM to comment on his winning or losing of actual money each week. Please note that the WORM doesn’t just do this for fun. He actually bets, as all self-respecting men should.
In fantasy news. Portis made his comeback this week and I continued the vernable JD’s losing streak. Long live Chris Simms’ spleen.
You might want to recheck your scores. The Indy/Jax game was a push and the the Cardinals lost straight up to the Rams. That brings the total to 6-7-1. Not exactly lackluster, but here at Slim Calhoun Enterprises, we’re all about the truth.
The review has been updated to reflect the accurate scores. We here at the Fact Checking Bureau would like to thank everyone over at Slim Calhoun for being so straight forward. They are just a class act.
Did anyone else notice that my boy Chris Simms had his best game of the season with a ruptured spleen? Or maybe the ruptured spleen kept the Cats in that game. Who knows.
On a side note, those of you who knew me in college knew how decidely anti-Golden Boy I was. I mean, Mack Brown names Simms the starter over Big XII player of the year and one of the most prolific passers in SWC/Big XII history and yet almost every game that season Corporal Applejuice came in to take over after Simms set new records for futility. So why was I so big on him as the QB for the Bucs this season?
There’s actually some solid logic behind it, but to be honest, it came down more to the fact that in my 16-team ESPN league I still had not drafted a QB in Round 10.
So how has this gaffe affected me? Well, I picked up Pennington and I’m 3-0 and the only true dominant force in that league. In fact, I’ll be extremely disappointed if I lose a game when all my regulars are starting.
So the Chris Simms experiment only lessened my dominance is all.
We might have to do like TSG does and let Mrs. Slim pick too, then see who wins.
Or just let someone compete against the Slim Calhoun Enterprise each week. Any volunteers for week 4?
