October 15, 2008 in Babes, Mailbag

Honestly, I am speechless. That’s a difficult feat for me to accomplish but this shot of the USC Song Girls (Photo courtesy of Busted Coverage) has me at a loss for words. All I can say is on with this week’s links.

Fantasy & Pick ‘Em Results: NFL Week #4

September 30, 2008 in Tailgating Ideas

It’s weeks like last week that make want to quit my job, move to Las Vegas and become a professional sports gambler. On the other hand, it’s weeks like this week that make me thankful I also have a voice of reason in my head. TailgatingIdeas.com finished tied for last with a dismal 6-7 showing this week in Cuzoogle’s Pigskin Picks Contest. Had we submitted no picks at all we could have fared better. The rules state that if you fail to submit your picks on time you are automatically given all the underdogs for that week. There were so many upsets this past weekend that that might have been the way to go.

The good news is that even though we tanked it pretty hard this week we are still in the hunt for the overall championship, currently tied for seventh place. Here are the results of this week’s pick’ em and congrats goes out to Mac Gs World for taking the week.

1. Mac Gs World 10-3 (tiebreak win)
2. Juiced Sports 10-3
3. The Sports Lounge 9-4
4. The Sports Dollar 9-4
5. Zoner Sports 9-4
6. MachoChip 9-4
7. My Sports Rumors 8-5
8. The Blue Workhorse 8-5
9. Busted Coverage 8-5
10. Cover2 8-5
11. Waiting for Next Year 8-5
12. NESW Sports 8-5
13. GrandmasterB 8-5
14. Brahsome 7-6
15. Don Chavez 7-6
16. Yep Yep 7-6
17. Buzz Pirates 7-6
18. NE Patriots Draft 7-6
19. Sports Opinion 7-6
20. Chocolate Dog Blog 6-7
21. Women like Sports 6-7
22. Tail Gating Ideas 6-7
23. Inside Plays 6-7

Last week I predicted that Busted Coverage is going down in the NFLJuice Fantasy Football League. That prediction proved to be correct but only because the guys over at BC failed to swap out their starters. Had they paid attention to the bye weeks and switched out two players currently taking the weekend off I would have gotten crushed. Yes, Brett Favre’s record setting day with six touchdowns was wasted because he was benched him and kept Matt Hasselbeck active. Tisk Tisk. It was not the way I wanted to win the week but a then again, there are not pretty losses and there are no ugly wins when it comes to fantasy football.

Here are the results of this past week.

Fantasy & Pick ‘Em Results: NFL Week #3

September 24, 2008 in Tailgating Ideas

Week #3 was back to the same old, same old for predictions and the fantasy football league. In Cuzoogle’s Pigskin Picks Contest, TailgatingIdeas.com finished tied for fifth for the week, going 12-4. Unfortunately that showing was topped by a dog. Yes, a chocolate lab named Bosco from Chocolate Dog Blog went 15-1 and only missed on the Detroit Lions game. So I guess I should consult my two dogs here at home before placing any bets in Vegas next time? Embarrassing. Here are the standings for the season to date after week No. 3.

1. Chocolate Dog Blog 35-12
2. Zoner Sports 34-13
3. Buzz Pirates 33-14
4. Tailgating Ideas 32-15
5. Inside Plays 31-16
6. My Sports Rumors 31-16
7. Waiting for Next Year 31-16
8. The Sports Dollar 31-16
9. The Blue Workhorse 30-17
10. Don Chavez 30-17
11. NE Patriots Draft 29-18
12. Busted Coverage 29-18
13. Women Like Sports 28-19
14. Brahsome 28-19
15. GrandmasterB 28-19
16. Juiced Sports 28-19
17. Sports Opinion 28-19

22. Yep Yep 25-22
23. MachoChip 23-24

In NFLJuice’s Fantasy Football League I came back to earth and promptly lost to the guys at Deadspin. Gee, like their blog does not get a ton of traffic and is immensely popular as it is. They couldn’t tank it this week and throw little old me, the tailgating guy a bone? Guess not. Oh well. There is always this weekend and Busted Coverage is going down. And I am not talking about going down like their entire site went down today due to a misunderstanding. Here is how it all shook out in week three.
