2009 NFL ATS Pick 'Em: Week Two QOTW

By: Luke Florence

And the chase for Bill Walton is officially on.

Overall, I thought the quality of comments were much better in week two than they were in week one. Which only means it was a very difficult decision in picking the top ten. Hopefully this continues throughout the season, because in my honest opinion, this award is the most prestigious.

Using a baseball term, the 'Triple-Crown' would be winning the Bill Walton, Gus Johnson, and first place in the picks.

Here they are. Enjoy.

TOP TEN WEEK TWO QUOTES
10-tie) “'I'm a celebrity, get me out of here' - This game reminds me of Ronald Pittman's Info Gathering at Scripps. You're just dying to get the hell outta there with brain cells left.” - Matt Barnes.

10-tie) “The HD screen will play a major factor in the game as Wade Phillips will get caught up watching, thinking it's last seasons ‘Hard Knocks’ and leaves to watch the game with Jerry Jones and they talk Texan to each other. Then everyone will see Wade Phillips actually has no impact/influence on how the Cowboys play, and that Romo just chokes on his own di-- uhh ‘ego’ in crunch time.” - Jamie Reamer.

9) “How did Aaron Rodgers not end up in Skip Bayless's Top 5 Best Looking Quarterbacks?” - Shane Kline.

8) “Vince Young took Steve McNair's two youngest sons to 'Daddy Day' or something of that nature at their school this week. Karma says that generous deed will lead the Titans to victory. Karma also says that if you cheat on the woman who bore your four children that you will get shot multiple times by your 20-year old girlfriend.” - Nick Lay.

7) “You can take the decent quarterback out of a good system, but you can't take the suck out of a Bear's quarterback. Even without Polamalu, and seven great things for his hair, Pittsburgh will do alright. ‘You asked with your eyes Trent, you asked with your eyes.’” - Eric Hug.

6) “Kanye West interrupts a Panthers drive just to tell Jake Delhomme that West had the bigger fall from grace in 2009.” - Jason Fazzone.

5) “Delhomme got a contract extension for that output last week? Go celebrate with Donte Stallworth!” - Jeff Normand.

4) “'Flavor of Love' - You know that clock Flava Flav wears? It's the countdown clock of Kurt Warner's career and/or Jack Del Rio's time on the sideline.” - Matt Barnes.

3) “Jake Delhomme:football what Roseanne Arnold:erections.” - Nick Lay.

2) “'A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila' - Or in the case of Shawne Merriman, ‘Take a shot at Tila Tequila.’ Seems fitting Ray Lewis (he killed a guy) is also playing in this game.” - Matt Barnes.

1) “Scoreboards are too big. They may fall off the ceiling. Romo is homo. (yes, there's your haiku of the week)” - Kevin Hunt.

Congrats to Kevin Hunt for showing that Gus Johnson is not going to switch hands without a fight, and to claiming the Week Two Quote Of The Week. I'm fully expecting Kevin to celebrate by imitating Bill Walton for the next 72 hours. Don't think for a second he won't.

All of the awards are updated on the sidebar, and updated standings will be available following tonight's game. I'm also in the process of putting up more content in between Tues-Sat. So stay tuned.

Until next time, "read it, roll it, hole it."
