Monday Night Football Executive 2009 - Finale

Re: Monday Night Football Executive 2009

Oh Good Grief!

Bad enough that Chadman enters the Golden Goose Egg Lounge, but for Lonbull to simply refer to him & Papillion as 'two other gentlemen'! The outrage! Snubbed so early in the proceedings!!

You don't have ROCKSTAR LOSER status like I do, Chadman. Just learn to deal.

Very true Ho Chi Minh. You are the biggest loser, after all...

[neclams]

WHO YOU GONNA CALL?

GHOSTBUSTERS!

I am hoping Miami does nothing offensively and that game is not close. I fear Minnesota, but hopefully it ends in a "Big Ben" last second TD to give FAVRE a taste of his own medicine......besides, I don't need (or want) Minnesota to win this week for next week's bonus, I just need Favre to make it through safely and Green Bay to win this weekend!

Just when you think that Former MNF Exec. Champion Ghost has made a mistake with his scheduling.....just when you think its time to bring him down to earth....just when you've turned on a little Ray Parker Jr. and asked "Who you gonna call"......that's just when this Casper decides he's no friendly ghost!

Ghost pulled out the week's high score of 60 points - in a game that many thought he might be lucky to squeek out 5 or maybe 10 points max! However the Saints decided to let Miami run up more than a 17 point lead before beginning their dramatic comeback....and in doing so - help run up Ghost's league leading score.

While Ghost enjoyed the Saints marching on.....many of us were watching Keyron Fox sprint down the field and steal points away from the Minnesota v Pittsburgh game. If Minnesota would have won the game - it would have been an extra 35 points, if they would have tied it and the Steelers would have won by 3 it would have been an extra 35 points --- instead many of us watched Fox go to the house, seal a Steelers win, and leave us only hanging on to the 25 point bonus we started the game with. Kind of bittersweet - but I'm sure most of us will just be happy with a Steelers win.

Another bit of news is that everyone steered clear of the Goose Egg lounge - even the three gentlemen (one of whom is from the "down under" and really not worth mentioning by name) that spent last weekend there. Good job Execs!

Looking ahead we've got something we've never seen before and that is a 40 point bonus coming to the players who picked Favre's return to Green Bay as their game of the week! (That includes 10 points for Favre starting and 30 points for two division rivals having a record over .600).

However two other games (both involving division rivals) are enjoying 30 point bonuses - so again this could definitely be a week where one group of players could pick up over 100 points - and certainly shake up the leader board.

So for Steeler fans this is a great week to sit back and watch great football.....

On the other hand there is Starlifter and another gentlemen - who I assume thought this was the game that Detroit would get their first win in....and picked St. Louis v Detriot - tough break Starlifter (and other gentlemen) - but who knows they are evenly matched it could be a really close game.

Good Luck this weekend!

Re: Monday Night Football Executive 2009

Thank you St Louis & Detroit for giving Starlifter & that unmentionable guy some points with that last minute TD to win the game....

Re: Monday Night Football Executive 2009

Glad I had some points going in and on top of it the 3TD bonus for McNabb.

Ruthlessburgher, Dsmith, BigLebowski, Jooser, Neclams, Doogie36, Jigawatts, Flippinburghers, JAR, and Angry Asian all took advantage of the Brett Favre special MNF Exec. was offering this season - and put up the week's highest score of 55 points.

However despite their solid scoring effort the scoreboard leader Ghost earned 50 points (along with five other Execs) and remains safely in the lead.

Looking at the scoreboard I must say that the 300 club - has looked very strong this season, and it's certainly no surprise that two of these players are former MNF Executive Champions. There's still plenty of time in this game, but it looks like these four players will be the major contenders going into the final stretch!

On the flip side of things Angry Asian is a moving on up......moving on up!, to the East side......moving on up!, to a de-luxe apartment in the sky......Mo-moving on up! Excuse me I went all 70's theme song there for a moment - but yes Angry Asian is out of the cellar and we'll see if he can repeat his performance from a few years ago when he streaked to the top --- after a few weeks on the bottom.

Looking ahead who would have guested that ESPN would be all alone with a 25 point pick-up in the Denver v Steelers game?

However ESPN isn't the biggest bonus winner this week - as the Houston @ Indianapolis game and the Dallas @ Philadelphia games are picking up 30 points a pop at kickoff.

You'll notice that the two highest scorers Ghost and NeClams are only picking up 10 early points this weekend - so this may be the chance for both JAR and Flippinburghers to cut into their leads!

Good Luck this weekend!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

I would like to take this time to say "Thank You!" to GHOST.....it was very nice of you to keep my seat warm.....now let the NECLAMS sit atop the leaderboard!

I know it won't last long....so I have to enjoy it while it lasts.....anyone seen Doogie36 anywhere? I figured he was competing in this competition as he was the one that invited me to join. I mean....I scroll down and down and down....and get tired of scrolling, so maybe that's why I don't see him! LOL

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.....and GHOST, "YOU ARE WELCOME for me keeping your seat warm atop the leaderboard!" That is if you can retake the throne in the next week or 2.

NeClams broke the news to all of us earlier that indeed we do have a new leader atop the leaderboard. Neclams (along with 7 other execs.) scored the week's high 100 points with the San Diego v Giants game which vaulted him to the #1 spot.

However I warn you now NeClams the top spot is infamous for melt downs - I've seen guys at the #1 spot free fall at an ugly rate - and perhaps even worse, you've just put Ghost exactly where he likes to be this time of year.

That being written - enjoy the rarified air NeClams - there are many of us who've never been there.

Most likely NeClams will be able to enjoy the lead for at least two weeks as almost everyone choose the Indy vs Patriots game as their match-up of the week. The Colts and Patriots are usually pretty automatic in terms of picking up bonus points and this season is no different as it's offering 25 points at kickoff.

However WVSteeler who has remained in striking distance throughout the entire season will certainly be hoping to make up some ground - as he is the only Exec to choose the San Diego v Philadelphia match-up which also comes with 25 points at kickoff.

And while Jigawatts is picking up less bonus points (10) - he's also in a position to knock off the leader should his Dallas v Green Bay game produce a nailbiter.

I'll go ahead and write this now - continue to keep an eye on Papillion because while he's close to the bottom now, he's the only Executive with a very dangerous Bengals v Jets game in his back pocket for Week 17. Should he start making up ground and the teams continue playing like they are he could be looking for a huge payoff in Week 17!

Good Luck this weekend!

Re: Monday Night Football Executive 2009

(Race call from Week 8 to Week 9)

Nearing the halfway mark we have ghost in the lead a full length to Neclams on the inside rail, a full length & a half back to Jar, only a nose to Flippingburghers on the outside. ESPN & Jigawatts are neck to neck, a full half length back to WVSteeler.. Falconfan trails by a neck on the outside to NBC, Iron Shiek & Chavezz sitting behind a half length. Meetjoegreen, Strlz D & D Smith come together with a bit of argey bargey, a neck to Mshifsko, Big Lebowski & Jooser. Further back now is Doogie36, neck to neck with Ruthlessburgher. A full length back to Steelerbot & Starlifter, with Lonbull a neck back on the rails.2 lengths back now to Steelernation1, neck to Pfelix & 2 lengths to Angry Asian with Chadman & Papillon bringing up the rear...

(on to week 9)

At the halfway mark Neclams has hit the whip to move in front, a full length to Ghost who settles back onto the rails, 2 lengths back Jar & Jigawatts making his move to the outside. Flippingburghers sits 2 & a half lengths back, a length back to ESPN & here's D Smith on the outside neck and neck with ESPN, with Jooser following D Smith's run on the rails a nose back. Ruthlessburgher makes his move to the outside a length and a half back, a nose ahead of Chavezz & Iron Sheik who are still going at it on the rail. Strlz D sits in behind them by a nose, a full nose to BigLebowski with Lonbull hitting the whip on the outside. NBC falling back a half head, neck & neck with Steelerbot, a head in front of Steelernation1 who's making his move on the inside. WVSteeler & Meetjoegreen come together, falling bak after tussling early on the turn, a half head to Mshifsko who seems to be hitting the skids. Falconfan sits a halfhead behind, a nose ahead of Angry Asian who is hitting the whip on the outside, a half head ahead of Doogie36 who appears to have dropped his whip. Starlifter is a half length back, 2 lengths to Chadman, half a length to Papillon both hitting the whip to keep up, with Pfelix bring up the rear..

Re: Monday Night Football Executive 2009

Continuing on with the horse racing theme, it appears that this next week my horse is going to step in the massive pot-hole that is a terrible Arizona/Seahawks match-up and break his leg. Whereby, I will dust myself off and promptly shoot him in the head to put him out of his misery.

Seriously, what were all of us thinking that didn't pick the NE/Indy matchup?

[neclams]

ROOKIE CLAMS HANGING TOUGH!

There should be little doubt that GHOST and FLIPPINBURGHERS would be in the top 3, afterall, they are in the Hall of Fame. What has everyone scratching their heads has got to be the CLAMS surprising lead following week 10.

CLAMS are honored to be "just hanging in there" with the past MNE Champs.

CLAMS are looking to increase their lead this week as they pick up (+30) bonus in the SD/DEN game. When asked about his pick, the CLAMS owner stated, "I think JAR made a great pick for this week!" It was the CLAMS sarcastic way of saying him and JAR were the only 2 to pick this game and max out on bonus points entering the contest!

CLAMS owner knows that it can all disappear in 1 week......but he is just talking a little trash while he is on top!

CLAMS knows that week 17, with the possible 110 points going out to a lucky pick could lose him the title.....but he will be lucky to still be in first when that time comes anyways!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Yours Truly,

The "LEADER" for another week!
