Week 7 Standings, Awards

Scott's gearing up to run away with this thing if we're not careful. He beat Dave again this week by one point, doubling his overall lead in the process. Meanwhile, further down the table, there's a big logjam fighting for a top-5 spot. Let's see how it all played out:

11 point week: Ryan
10 point week: Scott, "Gram" and Matt
9 point week: Everybody else

Standings after Week 7

1. Scott (71)- Something tells me he'd trade in the lead for a Steeler victory in Denver.

2. Dave (69)- Dave had an 9 point week, and fell off Scott's pace. He's still the only one close enough to challenge Scott. Yes, I just replaced an 8 with a 9 and changed nothing else from last week's recap. I'm tired.

3. Ryan (67)- Ryan had the best week out of everyone, and should start to be feared by the rest of the league.

4. "Gram" (66)- I found it funny that she wrote in our anniversary card that she had to make her picks this week. I always did like her sense of humor, intentional or otherwise.

5. Jen (65)- Jen tumbles down a little further.

6. Steph (64)- As does Steph. The sisters stick together.

7. John (62)- John's got me in his rear view mirror. I'll bet he's real scared.

8. Matt (61)- Football? What's football? The Red Sox are in the World Series!

9. Holly (59)- Cleveland plays St. Louis this weekend. We should give Holly a bonus point if she can make it through that game without wanting to gouge her eyes out. Oh, and sorry about the Indians*.


*Not really

10. Bill (58)- It was nice of Philly to roll over and die against Chicago for you.

11. Nancy/Janie (57)- Another solid 9 point week, allowing them to keep their distance from Heather.

12. Heather (53)- I wonder if she can overtake Nancy and Janie. That might be more interesting to me than the race at the top of the standings.

Things I like:

• Being right about Buffalo for once, and the Bills beating the hated Ravens
• The mental image of John booting a cat
• Hearing Bill in my head while I watch the Giants on TV
• Seeing the Colts do well, as it makes Jen happy

Things I don't like:

• Running up the score because you're a paranoid, disgraced shell of a man
• The 4:15 rule. We couldn't watch the end of the Titans/Texans game because the weren't allowed to show the game past 4:15. Instead, we were treated to watching Shannon Sharpe watch the game on TV and spew some gibberish. Awesome.
• Rob Bironas, by the way.
• The Jets. I didn't think they'd be as good as last year, but I was expecting a 7 or 8 win season. At this rate, they'd have to play 49 games to get to 7 wins. It's Kellen's time.

OK, time to do some real work.
