Dobiebowl Week 11 "No pick?"

Hey Everybody,

Thanks for playing the Dobiebowl! And a Big Congrats to codurre! Remember him? He used to be cool. He was like the Panthers and the Lions back in the pre-season, when everyone thought they’d be in the XL Superbowl, back before the Saints beat Carolina in week 1 and Chicago beat Detroit twice! I had him pegged for Bobble-Headed glory. How’s it feel to be back in the winner’s circle man? You’re still in the hunt duder.

Thank you to everyone who emailed in about the “No Pick” listing for the Turkey-Day ‘Atlanta at Detroit’ game (as well as the Match up between ‘Thursday’ and ‘Nov.’ which was apparently scheduled for Monday Night). These have since been fixed, so feel free to go back and pick ‘em. I’ll except no excuses come Tuesday morning, you’ve been warned J My only explanation is that somehow when I was carving out the Turkey-Day picks, I spilled gravy all over the database. Now I’m the one who’s gotta do the dishes =(

Where are my highlights? Fer some reason the 7 an’ 3 Jags aren’t kool enough for SportCenter. Wat up with that?
The Colt’s Poll is dwindling on the Message Board. With only 7 options left, someone’s gotta pick it right yeah? One would think.

Okay, that’s all I’ve got today. Before you’re all tripped out on tryptophan, make your Dobiebowl picks!

Dobiebowl Windy Week 10

Hey Everybody,

Thanks for playing the Dobiebowl! And a Big Congrats to footballking! However, there is dissension over this result on the Message Board. Technically it was a tie between him and superdan, but officially the Total Score runoff left Dan feeling less than ‘super’. There were a lot of runoffs in week 10, so I’ve posted the Total Score at the bottom. Think you shoulda beaten your rivals this week? Feel free to get in on the debate!

Didja see that missed field goal kick that was brought back by the Bears for the longest recorded return? Didja see the 15 yarder that was smacked right for a lost 3 points? With winds gusting up to 47 miles per hour, I think the fans that day were the ‘13th man’. Maybe the Windy-City is at the head of their division because they’ve made a deal with the Autumn Wind. (ß Actually one of my favorite NFL MP3’s).

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I didn’t get to see one play of the Jags game, and they finally break away with a phenomenal 30 to 3 win over the Ravens. I tried to get my Uncle Ross’s goat on the Message Board about it, but I think he’s decided to trade in his season tickets for golf lessons this year J (I kid…I still owe ya for SB XXXVI)

Okay, time’s a-wastin’. G’head and make your picks already!
And thanks again.

Dobiebowl Week 8 Injury Report

Hey Everybody!

Thanks for playing the Dobiebowl! And a Big Congrats to beer4uni who lead the pack by 1! This beer’s for you alone! (No really, click the link. It’s funny)

I apologize for getting this edition of the Dobiebowl email out late. I was up all night tryin’ to make good on a belated promise to Slim and beckydoodle. Back at the beginning of the season (well 9/11/2005) Slim and I went to Jacksonville to see the Jags wail up on the Seahawks. (Sorta an additional kick-back fer winning last years Dobiebowl, and also a sadistic urge to see him squirm when my hometown team makes his hometown team cough up the ball 5 times inna game) Then on 10-16-2005, beckydoodle went to go see Ricky’s return to Miami inna game against the Bucs (The pirates harpooned ‘em L) I got pictures from both games and never got around to posting them… that is until now! Here they is:

(Click on or cut-n’-paste into your browser. OR just go to the Dobiebowl Hall of Fame/Shame) Remember, if you’ve got pictures of a game you went to, or any team-spirited tailgating, send ‘em to me and I’ll be sure to post ‘em on the ‘Bowl… in about 4 to 6 weeks.

Next thing on my Dobie-to-do-list is to fix the gosh-darned message board (Juts, you hearin’ me? A lil’ help mebbe?)

Ok, on to business. The Rams beat the Jags 24 to 21 without Marc Bulger (shoulder) Torry Holt (knee) Isaac Bruce (turf toe) and their Head Coach Mike Martz (heart). And now it looks like Jax will have a couple-a injuries of their own (Big John Henderson and Marcus Stroud). Pittsburgh is gonna be without Big Ben against the Packers. Moss hasn’t been practicing for the Raiders. I could go on, but I’m almost over my quota on email web links.

They named the dog Indiana, but can they beat the New England “Super-Bowl Dynasty” Pats in Massachusetts on Monday Night? With a 7 and 0 record, it’s hard to pick against ‘em, but are they due? Only 2 more Sundays of bye weeks, so shoot for the Perfectomundo Keychain now, ‘cause come Nov. 20th it gets a whole lot tougher!

Thanks again for playing, now Keep it Up!
