I'm cursed

[Hyde]

Chief (if you're out there), you know why you won huh? One word. Deuce. Ya see, God got me for trying to beat you with a Saint - Pierre Thomas. So what does God (Payton?) do? He finally decides to "call on" Deuce. So, even though he was on the Ranger bench, he still got the better of Team Hyde. Hrrmph!

May your woes continue for at least one more week ...

Looks like you could have used team quarterback.

At the half on Sunday nite: Death on Two Legs 67, Team Hyde 66, Fred Taylor - ZERO.

Talk about cursed. If this holds up, this will be the 3rd time this year I have lost with 66. That's 66 66 66. That's like double cursed.

I'm going to bed.

If the score holds, we go to tiebreaker. You have the 5pt lead and two Saints players (Meachem and Thomas) and I have two Viking players (Taylor and Shiancoe). I think this game is yours.

[Hyde]

At one point "our boy" made a 4 yard run and had a whopping 20 yards. Then on the very next play he took a 1 yard loss and ended up with 19. Now you tell me I gotta pull for Saints. Oh great!

[Rob]

Now you tell me I gotta pull for Saints. Oh great!

I think you'll do just as well by rooting AGAINST the guys I have.

On a side note, I picked up Deion Branch Sunday morning because Brandon Stokely has been inconsistent. Last minute moves NEVER work for me.

On that note - I also tied in the Viking league last night (that's gotta be a first). Going into Sunday night, the guy I was playing was up 6 and done. I had Santonio Holmes in my lineup last night but had picked up Matt Jones during the week. A half hour before game time I had an itch to put in Jones but decided against it, just for the reason you stated. I would have lost if I made the switch. Instead I got lucky and won on reserve points - Deangelo Williams on the bench - more brilliant coaching.

and I have two Viking players (Taylor and Shiancoe).

Taylor TO Shiancoe??? WTF????

I stand by the title of this post.

Oh...and this has been one of THE most excruiating halves of Saints football to watch ever...and that's saying a lot!

If they're at the 4yd line and going to score, I'm OK with this. And I don't know if I can watch the second half. I'd be mad as hell if I were the Saints right now. We're going to see more Peterson and more pass rush at Drew. I don't like how this second half is shaping up.

[Hyde]

Yes, I am forever cursed. For I am a Saints fan.

[Rob]

These are too hard to take. If they could learn to play smart ...

I was cursed for poo-pooing the idea but you trumped my inanity with some really powerful stuff. I bow to your cursedness.

[Hyde]

I bow to your cursedness.

It's proper for you to realize when you've met your match.
