Final Score:
Seattle 42, Giants 30 (RJ 6-5)
27 points in the 4th Quarter aren't enough for the Giants...

Final Score:
Philly 38, SF 24 (RJ 6-6)
Back-breaking play of the game: In the 3rd Quarter, Frank Gore fumbles at the Philly 2-yard line, and it's returned by Mike Patterson 98 yards for an Eagles TD...

Alex Smith is actually quite impressive despite a 1-2 record.
Psst ... 9-3

ESPN's NFL "experts" are looking a little better now...
Theismann 7-5
Salisbury 8-4
Hoge 7-5
Jaworski 8-4
Schlereth 9-3
Allen 8-4
Mortensen 5-7
Golic 7-5

NBC reports that the Charlotte Observer is reporting (heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend) that Chris Simms was taken to the hospital after the game for dehydration, is listed as critical condition. The team has denied the critical condition part.

So far I'm 10-2.
and I'm more-or-less ok with that. Though I sure would have enjoyed seeing Arizona pull out a win.
Oh, and I really like how San Francisco looked... Especially their QB. Plus, I closely follwed Penn State last year and I hadn't realized Robinson had made an NFL team.

R.J. what would be your point spread for next saturday's Ohio State Game?
33 - RJ Elliott
Ohio State by 28 (it rhymes!)...
34 - Jet in Columbus
Good enough, thanks...

I don't know if I'd put you in the same league as pussy Jet. It looks good, it tastes good, and people generally like it.
As much as I hate to say it though....OSU....is lookin pretty sharp. I'm just hoping they buckle as they have in the past during the Michigan-Ohio game. Of course, got a while to wait for that game.
-strolls out hummin what's new pussycat-

Yeah, like I'm going to take advice from someone humming Tom Jones?

RJ,
Is it too late to pick the Bears?

JET,
re. a little sports nerd with an inferiority complex;
Don't worry about being called "lame" by someone who wrote:
"...not the New York Badminton Giants"
and
..."FEMA over New Orleans"
haha - hehe.

PS: Ask him to send you a link to his big YUCKS story about his 9/11 experience!

Nightmare week ends: Saints 23, Falcons 3 (RJ 6-8)

My only consolation is that several of the NFL "experts" did little better than me, and one actually did worse:
Theismann 7-6
Salisbury 8-6
Hoge 7-7
Jaworski 8-6
Schlereth 9-5
Allen 9-5
Mortensen 5-9
Golic 7-7
43 - RJ Elliott
I'm now 28-18 for the season. That's still better than Mortensen and Golic, and equal to Salisbury, Jaworski, and Allen. (And I am still ahead of Theismann, winning percentage-wise...)
Anyway, enough excuses. I simply must do better next week. Fluke weeks happen...but two in a row? That wouldn't be a fluke, that would be a trend...
Theismann 26-17
Salisbury 28-18
Hoge 30-16
Jaworski 28-18
Schlereth 30-16
Allen 28-18
Mortensen 26-20
Golic 27-19

Just an FYI - The Saints sacked Vick 5 times. FIVE TIMES!!! How the hell does Vick get sacked 5 times in a single game???

Herpes.

Just say no to herpes! :)

OH GEEZ. I somehow managed to miss my pick for both Sunday and Monday, making me a less-spectacular 10-4.
But I think I'm happier to see New Orleans win than to put another notch in my win column.

WEEK FOUR is up!
