Pickem Dash Football

(updated 9/14 11:07 PM) LINK TO SCORECARD 7:05AM: Baby alarm... awesome. 7:15AM: Any attempts to get any more sleep are futile with kids chatting. 8:15AM: Amanda heads off to some we-help-you-cook-your-food-and-you-bring-it-home-and-freeze-it pyramid scheme party thing. Now it is just me, this one , this one , and football. 8:52AM: Wrapped up getting the living room set up. Madison used a squirt bottle to "clean" one of my TVs. Now the controls don't work. Sweet. 8:58AM: Ollie drops a deuce... really?!? 2 minutes before Gameday starts? TiVo is my friend. 9:01AM: Ollie beats me out of the room (since I have to do some post wiping cleanup), grabs the remote, and changes the channel. So much keeping my spot paused on ESPN. The Scene 9:02AM: Gameday starts slightly late. I'm greeted with the same crappy, barely retooled Collage Gameday intro. WTF is up with that thing?! I don't want any tings in my tang tang, thank you very much. If all Disney Sports can get is irrele...

The Texans play on Monday and I'll probably be spending the day waiting to be disappointed by polls consisting of ballots cast by non-football experts, how 'bout a little live blogging (we'll see how long this lasts). ~8:30-11:00: I've spent the morning avoiding NFL talk and trying to find shows on TV talking college football. It seems most TV guys like Texas. I'm not sure if that pisses me off more or not. TBD. 11:00AM: Eh... no more college football talk. Time to hit up the TiVo for entertainment. Survivor time. 11:01AM: WTF! recap show!? Recap shows blow, even if they do show some extra footage. Whatever. Thanks for nothing CBS. 12:02PM: My disinterest in the Survivor recap has led to a lot of pausing and leaving the room. It's still on as the games are kicking off. Bleep it... I'm finishing this crappy recap show. Good thing I have 4 TVs in the living room right now. 12:07PM: Oh yeah... I forgot to mention the Plax story. Can someone explain to me why sp...

Week 2 Thoughts... Wow... The Texans got reminded they are the Texans... VY got injured... Brady is out for the season... the Colts got smacked by the da Bears... they are definitely on a down slide. And what about the suck-itude of the Raiders? Nice franchise you have there Al Davis. Click below to see the final scorecard for the week.

I'm sitting at home at the moment, so this week I'll do a little live blogging during games. 10:33AM: I'm still missing cards from 3 people... but I'm posting everything up anyway. What is up with the lack of good games today. Blah. Only about 30 more minutes of Kirk Shitstreet. 10:38AM: ESPN College Gameday has been teasing an Erin Andrews appearance... her appearance will improve the show tenfold. 10:54AM: TiVo saves marriages, raises better children, and has healing powers. I'm 16 minutes behind now, but I did catch Erin Andrews (who possesses 2 of the 3 powers listed above). 12:37PM: Ugh... how are all the games on TV right now involving the Big 10? Beer is helping me get through this relative football boredom. 12:45PM: In glass half full news... at halftime, Michigan is playing like crap, the Cheese are only leading Marshall by 3 (after going down by 14 to open the game), and Ohio State is losing to Ohio University... sweet. 2:11PM: Woohoo! The big eleven pul...
