Dobie Bowl Week 5 (A tie at 10)

Hey Everybody!

Thanks for playing the Dobiebowl! A big Congrats to Ladd… (now lemme explain)

Week 5 generated a 4 way tie in the Dobiebowl winners circle. The rules clearly state the winner will be the player with the closest total score to the actual total score. Yes there are rules. They’re on the rules page. Yes there is a rules page, I’ve linked to it 4 times already and you still haven’t clicked on it, so I’ll just sum it up here: Jutsman got 10 correct picks, his total score was 0. This means he picked 0 for all the scores of all the games in week 5 for a combined total of 0, which is what Mleckey did, as his total score was also 0. Slim’s scores added up to 443 but as the actual total score was 625 Ladd wins the brass ring with his total score of 519 (there is no actual brass ring, how many prizes do you guys need!?).

Everyone follow me on that? Alright good, now nobody tie again, ever. Onto the big picture: Cedric has announced on the message board that his “reign” is “over”. Don’t buy it for a second. That’s just what he wants you to think. I for one will not be lulled into a false confidence by Ced’s self deprecation. Having said that, kudos to Mleckey who took the overall Dobiebowl lead away from Ced-head like Bobby McCray took the ball away from Carson Palmer in the last minute:28 of the Jax v. Cinn game Sunday night. Go Jags! (Also be on the lookout for a new message board, this one keeps deleting people’s posts. A new one’s in the works – I mentioned it before, but I said it on the message board, and naturally it got deleted.)

And then there was 1. Indy, 5 and 0 stands alone as the only undefeated team in the NFL. I’m so thrilled (sense the irony). They’re in our division, so I can’t wait for week 14 when they gotta come to Jacksonville (probably toting a 13 and 0 record, tying the ‘72 Fin’s record – officially ending the champagne flow in Miami forever) only to be beaten by Byron and the boys who will then go down in history as the ones who kept the record tied. Then again, the Colts could lose in week 6… to St. Louis… at home… on Monday night. Er, maybe not.

Okay, so to amend my last email, Superdan pointed out to me that according to http://babelfish.altavista.com/ “Por favor mantengase se a la hada de las puertas” translates as “Please the fairy of the doors mantengase” Alls I can say about that is, is Disney’s Monorails don’t lie. And now, a cute picture of a dog:





Go Jags!
