Suicide Watch This:

Wego Bolts to the top in Week 3

----------

Even though 29 of the remaining 41 Suicide Pool entrants watched the 

Giants game while tiptoeing a rickety stool, or the Bills game from a 

warm bath, everybody eventually got to throw their suicide notes in 

the fireplace and dance another day.  Not only did the Giants and 

Bills pull their games out at the end, but the Raiders are suddenly 

competitive, the Niners are 2-1, the Broncos are 3-0, the Fish beat 

the Patriots on the road, and a “crybaby” Charger fan took the weekly 

title.

    Keith “Wego” Wengronowitz was the only poolster to gain on 

FunkyLeader Eric Emerton after he watched his Chargers beat up on 

Zack’s Jets for the weekly win.  It was his 8th win in 10 years, but 

he was probably happier to see his Bolts save their season at home. 

Undoubtedly, Wego also enjoyed moving from 14th to 4th in the overall 

standings.

    Now, not even Michael S. Godsey--recently counseled for existential 

dread--has angst in his pants: “You could say that I lost my second 

straight week at Invesco Field, but I’m really just happy that 

Grammatica gave it his best shot. And frankly, seeing those happy fans 

refreshed some good ol’ Rocky Mountain memories.  Speaking of which: 

Go Buffs!  3-0!”

    Godsey’s newfound joy epitomizes the general feeling in the FunkyPool 

this year.  Not only are the aforementioned teams playing well, but 

the poolsters themselves are all bunched up in one happy playoff 

race.  Last season after Week 3, Banker Bill Ellis had a 28-point lead 

over Jason Lee, and the playoff line was at 66; this year ten playas 

are within 28 points, and the playoff line is just 31.

    Nevertheless, ex-champion Emerton looks like he’s regained his old 

swagger--with three straight Top-4 finishes, he’s in the lead by a 

couple of touchdowns.





If Only...

-------------



Eric Emerton would’ve won the week if the Bears or Panthers had won.



If the Saints had beaten the Broncos, Godsey would’ve won the week.



Kevin Sabbe would’ve won if the Rams had won, whatever that means.



If the Colts had hung on, Ron Salvatori would’ve won his first week 

ever.



If his Jets would’ve won in San Diego, Zack would’ve won the week. 

Instead, he gave 20 points to Franzen’s Raiders, and now he owes 

Franzen a six-pack.  20 points!





POW/COW for Week 3!

------------

Somehow, Zack Schwartz, who gave himself the chance to watch his Jets 

on Monday Night Football with a chance at winning the week, was 

ridiculed with a COW.  Meanwhile, our newbie was rewarded for putting 

a 5 against the Bears.  Hey, it’s a free country.  Obviously.  See the 

webpage for comments.
