Grant, I can't help but feel that I've let you and everyone else in the Pool down. As the resident blabber-mouth/crap-slinger I took on the responsibility to blab and sling crap regardless of how busy my life is, how poor my performance in the pool is and how lame all those Poolies are out west are. I've let you all down. You counted on me and I've dropped the ball like Khari Jones on a quarter-back sneak.
I feel partly responsible for those cry-babies out west deciding to drop out of the pool just because they don't get special treatment from El Presidente. Hey, is it really THEIR fault just because they can't remember when 6:30 pm is?! Isn't that an unreasonable expectation for someone from Winkler? Regardless, perhaps I could have phoned them up and reminded them an hour before the cut-off so that they could get their picks in on time. Heck I could have picked for them! ... So many things that I could have done differently... As Cher crooned, "If I could turn back time..."
Sorry.
Okay, I feel better already. Now on to the good news: Toronto plays again tonight against the dim-witted Ottawa Renegades. Surely, victory is at hand. In fact, I think I'll call city hall later on today and see if they can put up the barricades already for the post-Grey Cup victory parade here in the Centre of the Universe. It always helps to get a good jump on these things.
Signed,
The Koop.
P.S. El Presidente, what's your opinion on bringing back the 'all 4 point suicide weeks' in the last few weeks of the pool? Yay or nay?
My dear Poolies,
Firstly, thanks to the Koop for the kind words. I'd hoped that my apparently "Naziesque" enforcement of the rules hadn't blemished by reign. I guess some ex-Winklerites just don't have room in their heads to remember a simple deadline (too busy dreaming of Pepsi and Revels!) Unlike our more astute members like Koopie, Dan, or Eymond, guys who ALWAYS have their picks in on time. How do you do it? Are you super-humans? Or just normal members of society who can read, follow simple instructions, and don't bother bitching and whining like a little school-kid.
Glad the Bombers have a bye week. Get good and rested to have our asses handed to us next week...
El Presidente
p.s. Did someone say suicide weeks? Whats the feeling out there. Poolies? Please respond...yea or nay.
Suicide weeks: Yea
Signed,
The Koop.
P.S. What about those Argos?!!! Lookin' sharp.
