UPDATE: A mini-bloody Sunday. Saints lose!! Colby out; Plea D out; I-Memon out! Brown out with Colts, Faber out with the Lions. 2 left in winners bracket!
Fake Josh Gradinger has secured his win this week with Da Bears. Rumpole is alive, but his pick-the Pack- plays Monday night. This could be over in week three!
Losers bracket: 8 people made a pick this week- 4 lost so far. We were looking for plus ten. So we're not sure what to do, but if the B Bracket survives, then Rick Freedman, Gale Lewis, Stephen Immasche and Dustin Tischler are out, carrying with them the undistinguished feat of picking losers two weeks in a row. This was clearly not their year.
UPDATE: Saints shaping up as this week's Cheaters. Everybody loves them....
Beautiful morning as the rain cleared. Went for a morning run for the first time in a while. It was nice. Peaceful. Happy.
Football pool: If you want to play, in the winners or losers bracket- it is crucial if you DO NOT SEE YOUR PICK in the below chart to email us- with a NEW EMAIL. DO NOT REPLY TO THE PREVIOUS EMAIL STRING. There are now 150 emails in one string and we can no longer go sorting though them hunting for your pick.
The key now is all about trends and regression to the norm. Will the Cowpokes bounce back against Tampa Bay after an embarrassing defeat last week in Seattle? Are the 49ers for real? Which team is a winner- Cincy or the Redskins? One is going to 2-1. Atlanta at San Diego- one of these undefeated teams will reveal a weakness and one will roll to 3-0.
UPDATED POOL: with all the winner bracket picks in. Good luck.

No football picks this week. We've started out horrible so we have decided to take a week off. We said at the beginning we could not devote the time to picks that we have done in recent years, and it shows.
RUMPOLE'S PLAY LIST:
From time to time we list what were reading. We decided to list what we've been listening too, courteous of Sirius satellite radio, which rocks.
Foreplay- Boston.
Aime- Pure Prairie League. We like the name.
Tiny Dancer-Elton John.

More, More, More-Andrea True Connection.
Only Wanna Be With You- Hootie and the Blowfish.

One More Night-Maroon 5
For You- The Boss.
It's Hard to be a Saint in the City- The Boss.
Blinded by the Light-The Boss.
OK. Just a lot of Springsteen. Sometimes he's just what the doctor ordered.
Princess cards she sends me with her regards
Barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hard
Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her Cheshire smile, I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted
But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts
Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks
You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks"
But they're not what I came for, and I'm sure you see that too
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But you did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But your life was one long emergency
And your cloud line urges me
And my electric surges free
Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak
Reveal yourself all now to me, girl, while you've got the strength to speak
'Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now, if only you could ask
And don't call for your surgeon, even he says it's too late
It's not your lungs this time, it's your heart that holds your fate
Don't give me my money, honey, I don't want it back
You and your pony face and your Union Jack
Well, take your local joker and teach him how to act
I swear I was never that way, even when I really cracked
Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound?
And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
You could laugh and cry in a single sound
And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds
Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god?
You were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beach
Remember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach
And the band, they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek
That ragged, jagged melody, she still clings to me like a leech
But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way
Like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way
We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar
Of some metal-tempered engine on an alien, distant shore
So you left to find a better reason than the one we were living for
And it's not that nursery mouth that I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
'Cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors
And who am I to ask you to lick my sores?
And you should know that's true
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But you did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But your life was one long emergency
And your cloud line urges me
And my electric surges free
Rumpole, your taste in music is as stupid as your dumb blog. Crawl in a hole and die and do us all a favor.
ReplyDeleteAhem, it's "One More Night" by MAROON 5
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Fake Adam Levine.
woops= added an e by mistake
ReplyDeleteit must hurt so much to really want something, not have it, and be so tormented
ReplyDeleteto quote Travus Bickel in Taxi Diver:
ReplyDelete"You talking to me?
Mr. Rumpole, it's your blog; you can put up anything you wish.
ReplyDeleteBut FWIW I didn't read any of what I assume were Springsteen lyrics. No interest.
FWIW? Don't know what that is.
ReplyDeleteAnd the lyrics are Springsteen lyrics. WHy do you say they're not?
Ok We can't help ourselves:
ReplyDeleteMia/Jets Under 42
Eagles/Arizona under 44
Buffalo/Cleveland under 44
I guess we like the D today
This is why I love this blog in the Fall. No lawyer/courthouse nonsense. It's all about football (um, I mean point spreads), and, today, a little music. My 2 cents? Stick with iTunes, download it to your iPod (the old fashioned kind) and listen to what you want when you want.
ReplyDeleteThank You. It's nice to have at least one fan.
ReplyDeleteDon't know Rumpole. I think its a big day for the offense. Good luck with your unders. The weather might make the under the play in Miami and Cleveland but I like the over in Arizona.
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to the Sunday night game- Cheaters at Ravens. Are the Ravens going to make a statement that they are the elite in the AFC? Tonight's the night for them.
ReplyDeleteMiami has the Dolphins
ReplyDeletethey're Shumie's favorite team
they take the ball from goal to goal
and make Jay White scream
they're in the air and on the ground
even Rick Freedman thinks they're cool
but when you root for Miami
you're still a great big FOOL
What about last nights game in Tallahassee.
ReplyDeleteGO NOLES
This is funny

Rump, your retweets are a bit alarming. Are you be on suicide watch?
ReplyDelete9:04 A point well made, sir.
ReplyDeleteThank you for asking. I am perfectly fine. I am working really hard, and for some reason not sleeping very well which is unusual for me> So sometimes late at night I tend to get a bit melancholy. But I am fine.
ReplyDeleteAh, so that's the reason for all the dejected tweets, Rump. We've all booked a room at the Heartbreak Hotel at some point or another, you'll get over it.
ReplyDeleteRump, about the blog, what upsets you the most?
ReplyDeleteOh that's an easy one. That we struggle to put out a good product and any creep can read what we pour our heart and soul into. We wish we could control who reads our words. But we can't.
ReplyDeleteUmm Melancholy does not equal heartbreak. No heartbreak. Nothing close. My last comment was about the myriad of nasty idiots who leave mean comments mostly about other people, expecting somehow I will be stupid enough to post them. Personally, I am as fit as a fiddle. Work is stressful, but that's all. Enjoying the Dolphin game right now.
ReplyDeleteI came for you, for you, I came for you
ReplyDeleteBut you did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But your life was one long emergency
What a clunker. Just terrible.
Nobody likes whiners, Rump.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else think Rumpole is having a nervous breakdown?
ReplyDeleteWell, just in case call 1-800-273-8255. Might want to keep it on speed dial.
ReplyDelete1:26- well I like the song, and since it is my blog, it gets to stay up.
ReplyDelete@1:05, Rumpole forget the haters.
ReplyDeleteRemember haters are nothing but cowards and bullies who pick on others to make themselves feel better.
I'm sorry, but I had to laugh at some of the comments. Rump, old boy, I'm afraid you're turning into a circus freak.
ReplyDelete@ 2:33, but isn't that what Rump does when he blogs about judges and other attorneys? He even eggs on the comments sometimes. You know what I say? If he can dish it, he can take it.
ReplyDeleteOh stop it Rumpy. you know I love you. Well, lust after you at least.
ReplyDeleteI can take it
ReplyDeleteRump
ReplyDeleteRemember Hamlet was also meloncholy .
Even though life is sometimes very tough,
You Gotta bend like a reed in the wind
DS spells "a lot" wrong all the time. I wouldn't listen to his advice, even if he is attemtpting to quote Shakespeare.
ReplyDeleteHow.....did....we....lose.....? (sob)
ReplyDelete356
ReplyDeleteI spell checked my post.
what was mispelled?
the last line is from DUNE not Hamlet
The line before is DS
Actually the line is
ReplyDeleteI must bend like a reed in the wind
it is in the fight at the end
@ DS, No wonder I didn't recognize the quote. Sorry about that. But, yeah, you usually spell "a lot" incorrectly. It was a cheap shot and I'll apologize for that.
ReplyDeleteActually as one of the last two surviving members in the suicide pool, Rumpole is having a pretty good weekend. Plus he knows how much I lust for him.
ReplyDeleteBruuuuucce!! One of the best lyricists ever!!
ReplyDeleteIt's cool. I'll make the comments elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteI want you to know that you are a fraud. You're self-righteousness is appalling, so be very careful what you write about others. That includes judges and attorneys. You wouldn't want them to find out who the coward behind the mask is.
ReplyDeletefor some reason spell check always seperates alot to a lot
ReplyDeleteMy spelling sucks, but my advise and lawyering is spot on
ReplyDelete
