Dobiebowl Week 17 (Farewell, and we thank you)

Hey Everybody,

Thanks for playing the Dobiebowl! And a Big Congrats to smseigle! Well, she started out the ‘05-’06 Dobiebowl season with a week 1 win, it’s only fitting that she nudge out the powerful jutsman by actually picking scores. (I’ve got the break down below, and seigle was 143 points away from the total which beat out juts and SarahGrr who were 703 points away! J )

WILDCARD WEEK IS ON!

Since there’s been no Perfectomundo week in the regular season, I’m extending the offer to the Playoffs.
Yes you still have a chance to win! But here’s the rub, to get the keychain you must correctly pick all 12 games in the playoffs (heck, you guys were getting’ 12, 13, and 14 right each reg. season week, this should be no problem-o!) I’ll leave off the Super Bowl from the keychain chase as a courtesy =)

Week 17 spanning the New Years Gap was a time to say farewell to a number of great players. Even though he and many members of the Steelers team agreed to pay cuts, Jerome ‘the Bus’ Bettis may not return next year. (I say he’s gotta career in celebrity poker, so long as he doesn’t run up against Wanda Sykes again.) It was an emotional time in Pittsburg, and I can only hope he’s phenomenal against Cincinnati in the Wild Card. Brett Favre may not return to Lambeau field next year, but coach Mike Sherman of the Packers definitely won’t. Also, Kansas City’s coach Dick Vermeil will make a teary exit… again. Believe me, Sunday was the last time you’ll see a coach kiss that many individual players in an NFL game, (a fact I find a little saddening)

Alright, on with the game… The Clash of the Titans continues. My Father, Daddio vs. my future Mother-in-law smseigle locked in a dead-heat at 182 going into the playoffs. Two will enter, one will leave (unless both trip up entirely throughout the playoffs and codurre wins the Perfectomundo keychain.) Any side bets on who will revel in Bobble-Headed glory? Make ‘em on the Message Board!

Viva-la Playoffs! Now Keep it Up!
