Ahira's Hangar

Surprise! I'm early. And I swear I'm not picking the way I am on purpose-I must have used up all my good picks last year. I was pretty impressed by cali, jel and Guns going 8-1 but Mr. Sunshine's perfect start blew me away!!!

Maurice Jones-Drew actually comes to life for 82 yd rush 30 rec 1TD Jax 17 KC 7. Najeh Davenport 2 rush TDs Steelers shutout Sea 21-0. Eli Manning 2 pass TDs, Brian Jacobs 100 yd rush 1TD, Plaxico Burress 124 yd rec 1TD NYG 35 NYJ 24. Kinta barely survives 5 sacks, Jason Campbell 248 yd pass 2TDs Redskins 33 Det 3. Trent Green did not survive Houston 22 Mia 19. Titans overcome 5 TOs both Harrington and Leftwich rendered totally ineffective 20 Atl 13. Larry Fitzgerald 136 yd rec 1TD AZ 34 StL 23. Tom Brady another (ho-hum) 3 pass TDs. Ben Watson 107 yd rec 2TDs Patriots are 5-0 34 Cle 17. Last second 53 yd FG by John Kasay gives Carolina the win over NO 16-13.

late result:
I don't know maybe I was drunk or too tired or both, but the second half of this game just disgusted the hell out of me and I hit the bed before the 4th qt. da Bears cause all sorts of TOs, Brian Griese stays mistake free in that half, throws for 2TDs (one to Desmond Clark who I knew I should have started on the Watchers but it didn't! ) Chi 27 GB 20.

Everybody in contention picked Dallas so it looks like californiababy is reverting to his winning ways of two years ago (when kins was ready to send him to Vegas) as he becomes our first two week winner!!!.

AAARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hear ya, Earthblood!

Catchin' up to you aTOM...

Catchin' up to you...

Sorry I'm late-next week's schedule and composites tomorrow morning.

MNF result:
Absolutely crazy game and it looked like the Bills were going to steamroll da Boyz, but Buff fails to score an offensive TD and somehow Dallas overcomes 5 Tony Romo interceptions and 1 fumble with a late Nick Folk FG to win 25-24.

final standings:
cali 13-1
