Last Chance: Pauly's Pub Football Pool QQWIN99
Anyone interested in joining my football pool? If so you have less than 12 hours to join up! The season starts tonight.
Last year my team Shakedown Street tied
with my brother's team Chico's Bail Bonds for the Championship in the fourth
annual QQWIN99
Pub Football Pool. Who will win it this year?
The entry fee is $10... all of which goes
to the total prize pool. FYI, I am not making one cent on this pool.
First place will win 50%, Second place will
get 30%, and third place will get 20% of the total prize pool. So far we got a
couple of poker bloggers in the mix with some of my friends.
And of course, this pool is with point
spreads.
Visit this link: Football Pool to sign up
for an entry. After you do that, email me, and I'll send you my group name and
password. It takes just a few minutes to set up.
You must snail mail me the money no later
than Sept 30th. I'll send you my mailing information after the season begins.
Best of luck!!!
Uncle Jodd's Band
Last night, I sat through four long ass
hours at my fantasy football league draft. The NYC area was hit hard with the
last bits of Hurricane Frances and a shitload of rain was dumped on the city
and surrounding areas. Half our league lives on Long Island and the draft was
scheduled to be in NYC at 7pm. The LI guys never made it due to horrible
flooding and had to draft players via online. That function was already set up
for several teams (1/3 of our league) who live in Miami and the LI boys hopped
abaord. And only the city guys made the draft... live in person. My partner,
Senor, lives in Providence, RI, so I had to be at the draft since he couldn't
make it. So the drafting process was slow, especially with 14 teams. I had the
second pick. It was easy. Here's my team:
Uncle Jodd's Band
RB: Priest Holmes, Kevin Jones (r), Charlie
Garner, Chris Perry (r)
QB: Marc Bulger & Jyle Boller
WR: Joe Horn, Eddie Kennison, Donald
Driver, Travis Taylor
TE: LJ Smith, Anthony Becht
K: Adam Vinetari, Bill Cundiff
D: Carolina & Indy
I made a risky move picking up Kevin Jones
on Detroit. I like what I've seen this preseason. I felt much better this
morning when Boy Genius gave me a thumbs up on the starting RB on his homestate
team. These 14 team leagues are insane!! $360 per team with $2200 to the
winner... it's a crap shoot. But I like Priest Holmes, one of my favorite
players to watch in the NFL! In true tradition, I drafted one NY Jet... Anthony
Becht in the 15th round!! I had the chance to pick Pennington, but opted for
Bulger instead. I would go nuts if I had to watch my fantasy QB every weekend!
Why is my team called Uncle Jodd's Band?
When I was seeing The Dead at Great Woods with Senor this past summer, we
decided that we'd use a Grateful Dead theme in picking our team name. Have you
noticed that my football pool team name is also named after a Grateful Dead
song? There's a Dead song called Uncle John's Band and we tweaked it a bit and
included Senor's son's name... Jodd. We just replaced the first names... and
that's how we got: Uncle Jodd's Band. We're hoping the fat man can help us out
with this year's team!
