Fame or Shame Week 8 Results

When your top 6 teams all pick losers and not much changes you know they had a good lead over the rest of the pack.
However, Nick and his pick of the Cheifs boosted him the whole way up to 4th place and in contention.
Randy and Sergio picking the Dolphins put them back into the thick of things as well.

The Surprise is Mauri who was almost a the bottom just a few weeks ago is now sitting in 10th position and ready to strike after picking the Patriots

One Crappy Sunday

I currently sit here in front of my TV/PS4 and my computer and haven't really been glued to football for the entire day like any normal Sunday.
My cheapness is partially to blame but I'm going to instead focus all of my blame elsewhere.

First, I pay good money to have the NFL Sunday Ticket.  In fact, Directv and the Sunday Ticket are set up at my parents house and I shell out the extra money for MAXX so that I can stream the games from my phone, tablet or PS4 while at my house or on the go so that I can still watch football since we don't have cable at our place.

That being said, with the amount of money that I (and many others) pay it would be nice if we could watch all of the games.  I didn't get to watch the Detroit/Atlanta game this morning (even though I woke up for it) because it was on FOX.
Ok, I can deal with that although I missed a hell of an ending.

The 10 am games I watched (kinda) the Cincy/Baltimore game which ended great but was boring for most of the game.  I really wanted to watch the Patriots game but couldn't due to NFL Blackout policy.  I wanted to watch Seattle but couldn't due to antiquated policies.

Ok, skip to the middle games and what do I want to watch? Of course I want to watch my Steelers as I have pretty much every fucking week this year.  In fact, this is a HUGE game for us as we are playing the red hot Colts who are blazing teams with Andrew Luck and cast.  But "Due To NFL Blackout policy that game cannot be played."

Oh for fucks sake.  So, I have to settle for the Browns (not a chance) or the Eagles/Cardinals game and while the Eagles/Cardinals won't be a bad game it's not my Steelers and by default I'm already agitated and annoyed and just generally pissed off and don't feel like watching inferior teams play.
Fuck The NFL.

To top it all off I'm normally supposed to work on this Sunday but I requested it off because this is normally a Sunday that my wife has off so what happens there?  Her boss decides to screw her over and schedule her on her day off and have her work 9 straight days before a day off.
9 straight working days for a pregnant chick who is going on 7 months pregnant and when she mentions it to him he says "oh, I thought I was hooking you up by giving you a 3 day weekend."

The guy has his head up his ass and no sense of what it is like to actually work at this point.

So to recap - I'm not spending the day with my wife and I'm not watching a single football game that I wanted to.
And I can't head out to watch the Steelers game because I have two boys with me who can't sit at the sports book or a bar or whatever to watch it with me and even if they could they would be bored off their asses.

To make matters worse I need one set of level 70 legendary leg armor so that I can complete my level 70 collection for my trophy on Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls (which is one of 3 left that I need) but instead I have had 10 legendary weapons drop, 5 legendary plans, 2 shields, a necklace, a ring and a few others but no legs....none..  I also have spent about 500 in blood shards and haven't gotten a single legendary (or even a set piece) for what I want.
I swear the game knows that it's my last piece and is basically saying "screw you hippy."

Happy Sunday all.

Fame or Shame Week 8

Welcome to Dallas Cowboys Week.

It's not until after the top 5 that anyone has a chance to catch up, will it be the right move to go with a different team or will the top 5 pull further ahead?

Fame or Shame Week 7 results

So here are the week 7 results and current standings.

First I want to give a big shout out to the Seattle Seahawks for being picked by 4 of the top 6 teams (including the guy who was temporarily ahead of me for a whole one week) and allowing me to re-take 1st place.
Seattle was my 12th man this week.

Second, I want to thank the Browns for being the Browns.  Destroying my team one game and then losing to one of the worst teams in the league the next.  That win over Pittsburgh was so decisive that it caused a few people to actually pick you this week and you totally cost them big time.

To Carnell for picking the Texans because he forgot to pick this weekend and then decided that Pittsburgh sucks.  Carnell, you are in last place.  You are the only guy still in the negative.
You are losing to a guy who hasn't made a pick in multiple weeks and once picked a team on a buy week.  Carnell - You Suck :)

Fame or Shame Week 6 Results

Well Folks, we currently have a new leader in our little game.
Bill R, take a bow because you are leading by 5 points currently.

We still have one guy with negative points and that really just kind of sucks for him because that means it is probably nearly impossible for him to actually win this thing.

Only one person took Baltimore this past week gaining the most points and going from near last to middle of the pack, so congrats to my son for not sucking as bad this week.

Here are the results and the current standings.
