Sunday Line Chatter, Week 5
Last weekend was great for the Sunday Line gents. Well, at least two of them. Larimer got married and went a white-hot 10-4 in the process. Desmond went 9-4. Matt went 5-8. I'll let you all decide who didn't have the great week.
As usual, we have a Game of the Week, Games We Want to Watch, Games We Might Want to Watch, and Games We'll We'll Skip in Favor of a Lecture From Our Mothers on the Evils of Gambling. Plus, we'll provide links to the game previews that we've already posted on The League, because we're helpful like that. So, on with the chatter:
El Dave: Hola de Argentina, chicos y chicas! I´m e-mailing it in from Mendoza, where I know nothing of football and have learned much of swilling wine. I don´t remember how my picks did last week, but I´m pretty sure it was awesome. How bout that lock of the Texans, huh? I was drinking with some Texans this afternoon. To my shock, they didn´t compare everything to Texas. Anyhoo, I´ve just gotten back from touring four vineyards and have to hurry off to some wine-filled dinner, so let´s make this quick,huh?
Desmond: to explain to everyone, Dave is on honeymoon in Argentine, who we will cry for
Matt: Wait, I thought were weren't supposed to cry for Argentina. Or are we crying for Argentina b/c Larimer is there?
Desmond: exactly. but you're right, maybe Argentina should cry for us, since we're stuck here while Dave is galivanting around
Matt: I hope he gets lassoed by a gaucho.
Desmond: btw, talking about someone's honeymoon reminds me how much I hate that espn fantasy commercial featuring that kid who's the MVP of his honeymoon, and who spends it resetting his roser for total domination'
Desmond: something about it just bugs me. maybe b/c he appears to 19
Matt: yeah, I hate that too (even though I admittedly spent time on my honeymoon concentrating on my fantasy team, tho not on my stupid cellphone).
Matt: or while riding a horse.
Matt: i was the mvp of my honeymoon, tho.
Desmond: bet you found that buffet pretty robust, tho
Matt: i find pretty much all buffets robust
Desmond: well, maybe we should move on with the picks. but before we do, a lock update: Matt: is 3-1 (I think), I'm 3-1 and Dave is a scorching 4-0
Matt: No, I'm 2-2.
Desmond: ha! just wanted you to have to write that
Desmond: Way to go, Dave! Dave? Dude? Oh, right. jerk.
Matt: Yeah, they don't have IM down there?
Desmond: yeah -- Intense Massages
Matt: Immense Meats
Desmond: oh, yes, meats in abundance. Dave will return a good 12 pounds heavier
GAME OF THE WEEK
TENNESSEE (-3) AT BALTIMORE
El Dave: True Story: There´s a Moe´s Tavern here in Mendonza, festooned with a big mural of Moe Sizslak. I haven´t stopped in yet, but I´m pretty sure it´s full of dudes yelling like Rainier Wolfcastle: 'MENDOZAAAAAA!!!!' I pick the Titans
Matt: So, if you're an obsessive "Simpsons" fan, you'll get that joke.
Desmond: Ice to see you
Matt: Up at AT them!
Desmond: and so forth. the imprtant thing to note is Dave is squiring his new bride to all the classy locales
Desmond: I'm sure he's found the one Cornhusker-friendly watering hole there, too
Matt: exactly. i'm sure they've already found the Gaucho version of Timberlakes. anyhoo, that Joey-Joe-Joe-Shabadoo Flacco might actually be pretty, pretty good.
Desmond: Yeah, he seems fairly unflappable. Tennessee will try to flap him, but it might not work. Unless albert haynesworth stomps on his head.
Matt: you and your stomping obsession. they have 12-step programs for that.
Desmond: hey, it's a running gag, work with me here. anyway, it's hard top see either of these teams taking more than a three-point lead on the other
Matt: it's two scary-good defense against two scary-mediocre offenses. i'll take the one with the slightly less mediocre offense, which I think is the titans.
Desmond: the difference in the game will probably be a defensive touchdown, which could just as easily come from the ravens. I'll take the home team, B-more
