Monday Night Football Exec. 2012

[Starlifter]

I'm part of the high score for the week, and I'm still sucking at the bottom. man this has been brutal this year!! big points in second half of the season. it's either going to be a comeback for the ages, or a continued slide into oblivion.

at least I have hockey to sooth my anguished soul..........

oh wait.......

[Jooser]

Joos... you truly are, the King of Crap.

Especially after this weeks pick my man.

[fordfixer]

I'm feeling kinda like a yo-yo right now

Like the Crimson Tide -- the Iron Shiek continues to just ROLL!! Once again the Shiek pulls down the weekly top score, does it all on his own, and does it without any bonus points at kickoff......the man is just shy of having a 100 point lead over his nearest rivals and even though we're only at the mid-way point you have to wonder if anyone has the schedule to catch up to the Shiek?!?

Sadly for those of us who had the Dallas v. Giants game -- this non-catch:




Cost us possibly 70 more points!!!! I'm not saying someone needs to "Ronnie Lott" this WR....but I might be thinking it! Moving on -- PFelix73 has found some momentum and has placed himself in the top 4. TheIggy and Papillion also enjoyed modest 30/35 point games and have moved slightly up the board. But let's face it folks at this pace -- the Iron Shiek would need to have a melt down, and right now he is RED HOT!

Looking ahead former Champion Ghost won't be able to make up any ground on Iron Shiek this week....but he's got to feel good about sharing the game with the leader.

Four Execs. have 10 point bonuses at kickoff including PFelix73 who could be looking to make a move on Lonbull and Steelgal. For many of us -- we have our hopes attached to the Eagles, Saints and Cowboys....and if these teams perform like they have for most of the season it could be heartbreak city here on Tuesday Morning.

Good Luck this week - your leader is in RED

Week 9

Minnesota v. Seattle – Jooser (+10)
Pittsburgh v. Giants – SNON5150, Pfelix73, Flippy (+10)

Starting the climb. Now that I'm past Jooser, catching the rest of you should be easy.

Chadman, Looks like our plan is working. We're tied for first if we combine our points.

Continually amazed that nobody has picked up on the evidence that Chadman & Flippy are 1 in the same person.

Oh well, certainly helps the cause at the end of the MNFE season when the truth is revealed, points combined & we beat you by half a point to really just rub the victory in..

I never thought we'd be heading into Week 10 and I'd look at the leaderboard and not see any of the former champions in the top 10?? Say it ain't so gents! Say it ain't so?!?

Flippy may have a reasonable excuse as he usually enjoys spotting the rest of us a hundred or so points before he makes a last minute mad dash! However both Ghost and Neclams spent the week in the Goose Egg lounge --- and maybe they serve a special champions buffet there....(for as often as I've been to the lounge - I wouldn't know!!) -- the former champs may have been talking to Iron Shiek who also spent an uncharacteristic week there and gave the rest of us a shot at catching up.

Must have been an especially rough week for NeClams as he spent the week in the Goose Egg Lounge and then watched his kid sail past him on the leaderboard!

The weekly high score was earned by Fordfixer as his Chicago v. Tennessee game offered up a number of points brought to you by one of the most exciting defensive teams in the league....in fact I'm beginning to wonder if their defense hasn't scored more points than their offense??

Speaking of Chicago -- out of 9 games that our MNF Execs have picked for this week only the Chicago v. Houston game and the Detroit v. Minn game are offering up any bonus points -- the rest of us are just going to have to hope for the best!

Normally one or two teams are "schedule killers" and this year Dallas, Philly and New Orleans have just been headaches to their MNF Execs....this week sadly is no different!

Good Luck this week - your leader is in RED

Week 10

Houston v. Chicago – (+25) Ruthlessburgher, NBC
Detroit v. Minnesota - (+15) TheIggy

Atlanta v. New Orleans – Iron Shiek, Ghost, Snon5150, Chadman, Lonbull, Jooser
Dallas v. Philly – Flippy, NeClams, Papillion
Buffalo v. New England – Pfelix 73, Fordfixer
Giants v. Bengals – MJG
Oakland v. Baltimore – Starlifter
Jets v. Seattle – Steelgal
K.C. v. Pittsburgh - ESPN

[flippy]

This is a weird year. Only Philly/Dallas looked like the 100% safe pick of the week. NO/Atlanta looked like the next best pick with a little risk around NO. My 3rd choice would have been Chicago/Houston but even that was a little bit of a long shot.

And the safe picks have no extra points and many are just turning out to be non competitive.

Week 10

Iron Shiek - 440
Lonbull - 370
Pfelix73 - 370
NBC - 370
Fordfixer - 345

Steelgal - 330
Papillion - 320
TheIggy - 320

Ghost - 290
Neclams - 275
Starlifter - 275

ESPN - 255
Chadman - 250
Flippy - 240
Jooser - 235

Could this be the year of the SUIT!?!? NBC not only has a 30 point bonus with their Sunday Night Match-up, but the Suits at NBC (along with Ruthlessburgher) enjoyed the weekly high score of 70 points with their sloppy Chicago v. Houston match-up.

NBC has climbed into a three way tie with PFelix73 (who is also picking up momentum) and Lonbull (who, looks to be losing steam).

Iron Shiek (along with 4 other Execs.) will have to hope that their bonus-less game provides an exciting, close scoring game to keep pace with the new bad*ss Peacock......



Nearer the bottom of the board is ESPN and Jooser both enjoy a solid 25 point Monday Night Football bonus.....with a little help in that game they could easy hit the middle of the pack at the close of Monday Night.

Haven't heard much from the Iron Shiek --- you have to wonder if he's beginning to feel the heat as NBC and Pfelix73 look poised to close the gap???

Good Luck this week - your leader is in RED

Week 11

Baltimore v. Pittsburgh – (+30) Pfelix73, Ghost , NeClams, Chadman, Starlifter, Papillion, Steelgal, NBC
Chicago v. San Francisco – (+25) Jooser, ESPN

Green Bay v. Detroit – Iron Shiek, Flippy, MJG, Lonbull, Ruthlessburgher,
San Diego v. Denver – Fordfixer, Snons5150
St. Louis v. Jets – TheIggy

[MeetJoeGreene]

Ok.. this is getting ridiculous. I need a boost in my game. I call upon the power of the feral kid to help me:

[pfelix73]

Woohoo.....!

Suits, my ars.. NBC can kiss it. lol

[Iron Shiek]

I'm choosing to remain fairly silent and let my position on top of the table speak for itself. My pre-season game-picking prowess is clearly on display, however, you are slightly correct that as the season winds down, I'm starting to doubt a few of my picks, especially beginning with this week.

Don't doubt this week! I picked the same game as you this week!!!

The Week's high score (65 points) went to all of the MNF Execs. who wisely took the "old stand-by" of a Steelers v. Raven divisional battle. In what has to be a troubling trend for the leader Iron Shiek he was not the Exec. with a weekly high score and he watched a number of Execs. advance on his once dominant lead!!

With only a 20 point lead on two contenders immediately behind him --- you have to wonder if this Shiek can handle the heat?!?

Iron Shiek and NBC will share the same game this week and it comes with a solid 25 point bonus at kickoff....so this guy:



Thankfully won't find his NBC self in first place next week......uggghhhhhh......PFelix73 who has surged to a second place tie with NBC is hoping he alone will take Week 12's high score and maybe overtake the lead as well --- however his game has no bonus points, and he'll have his work cut out for him.

TheIggy will enjoy the best bonus coming into week 12 and could certainly propel himself up the leaderboard with a big game in the Tampa v. Atlanta match-up. Atlanta has been playing some close ball games this week and TheIggy should feel confident that he'll be receiving a (pirate) boat load o' points!

Of course Fordfixer, Ruthlessburgher and yours truly (Lonbull) decided to play it safe and just take the 10 bonus points as Carson Palmer returns to the Natti -- and we're also hoping for a nailbiter to help us catch up to the top of the board.

Good Luck this week - your leader is in RED

Week 12

Tampa Bay @ Atlanta – (+30) TheIggy
GB vs NYG – (+25) Iron Shiek, Flippy, Ghost, NeClams, Snons5150, Chadman, Papillion, NBC
Oakland @ Cincinnati – (+10) Fordfixer, Lonbull, Ruthlessburgher

Houston @ Detroit – Pfelix73
Tennessee at Jacksonville – MJG
Patriots @ Jets – Starlifter
Pittsburgh @ Cleveland – Jooser
Denver vs. Kansas city – Steelgal
Panthers v. Eagles - ESPN

[flippy]

A 200 pt game this week would keep me at 200 pts behind the leader. I'm starting to smell blood. Unfortunately it might be my own.
