Week 3 Results/Week 4 Games

The results are in from week 3...Abby relocates and goes .750! Unreal! Charlie and I fall further into the abyss, despite the Giants deciding they're a real football team for a whole half. And Camuto is probably cheating somehow.

Good bunch of games, I officially hate the "call a timeout right before the field goal attempt" tactic more than anything else so far this season, and that includes Rex Grossman. My last shred of faith in him was torn away after I made two sidebets this week, that he would throw less than 2 interceptions and get sacked fewer than 3 times, and I lost on both counts. I too am now joining the chorus of "Bench Sexy Rexy!"

Ah well. Here are this weeks results along w/ the standings to date.

In case you haven't seen it already:

This ad is so awesome. It was on probably a dozen times yesterday, but on the off chance you Tivo'd the games or just caught scores at the end of the day, here's the new Nike ad w/ Shawne Merriman and Steven Jackson. They've also shortened the TV spots, splitting the ad into two, which makes it slightly less awesome. And if SJ were running anything like he does in the ad, life would probably be a whole lot more awesome for any Rams fans out there. Lastly, it was directed by Michael Mann, which makes it STILL MORE awesome. I think I said "awesome" four times in as many sentences. Awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome.

Ok, I'm done, but check this out.
