SORRY!

So I was in Montreal all weekend, then got home and had friends from Portland in town, and now I'm back upstate for the holiday. Which is why the rankings haven't been updated, and I apologize. Well, to everyone except Sam. Sam, I've already decided that if you win I'm spending all your money on paying a skywriter to write "Dear Sam. People are jerks. Love, Sawyer."

I'll have them up asap, by tomorrow at the latest. I'd put them up now but I just got home and haven't seen my folks in forever, so that takes precedence.

Sorry again
-Sawyer

Peyton Who? Tom What? PURPLE JESUS BABY!!

Man, Adrian Peterson already had the coolest nickname in sports, now he has one of the coolest records as well. And more importantly, he made a fool and a half out of me.

Being that two pools and two fantasy leagues aren't enough weekly gambling action for me, I always make stupid side bets with my friends on individual games. One of said bets this week was on the Chargers/Vikings game. I bet my friend that Peterson would rush for less than 75 yards and LT would rush for more than 150. It was a mildly stupid bet to make on the "if/then" level, but I got him to give me 3:1 odds on it. Unfortunately, 296 is just a tad more than 75. Fortunately, I won my other two bets with him so it was a wash, and I love PurpJes anyway. Hopefully this will convince Childress to give him more touches. Though he did 296 on just 30, which is insane.

I'm trying to find video of James Harrison's hit on Ed Reed, for anyone who didn't catch last nights game, because it was absolutely brutal. Harrison just picked him up like he was a small child and slammed him about three feet beneath the field. Not that I'm advocating bodyslamming children, but it was just unbelievable. And it's not like Ed Reed is some 4th string lightweight, he's a Pro Bowl safety, one of the best in the game. No dice digging it up though, maybe I'll find it later in the week.

I did find this video though. Imagine this, but about 100x harder.

Lastly, for anyone who heard Charlie rambling about the Colts cheating, verdict is in:
NO WAY.
