2009 NFL ATS Pick 'Em: Week Four QOTW

By: Luke Florence

The fourth week of the NFL proved to be the most difficult to pick winners and losers. It was also the most difficult thus far in picking the quotes of the week. Several over-qualified candidates, but only ten (or so) spots up for grabs.

Three weeks in and we have had three different QOTW winners. Will someone punch their second ticket to the Quote Of The Year banquet? Or will a fourth person keep the one-and done trend alive? Only one way to find out.

TOP TEN WEEK FOUR QUOTES
10-tie) "I guess this story points to me being an alcoholic more to Big Ben being a dick, but whatever. He's a rapist.” - Nick Lay.

10-tie) "There's so little talent in the city of Cleveland right now that reports say the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame plans on inducting Barry Manilow.”
- Kevin Hunt.

9) “Bill Belichick is such a cheeser – he has Tom Brady, Fred Taylor, Randy Moss, Joey Galloway, Adalius Thomas AND Shawn Springs all on the same team?!? Wait, this isn’t Madden 03? My bad." - Jason Fazzone.

8) “These teams will come storming out the gates with energy like John Rocker. Now, there's a guy I wouldn't mind Ray Lewis stabbing.” - Matt Barnes.

7) “This one will be over quick, just like Juan Gonzalez's 2005 season.” - Matt Barnes.

6) “Rams linebacker David Vobora got busted for taking performance-enhancing drugs. At least someone’s trying in St. Louis.” - Jason Fazzone.

5) “I should have known The Big Ju would have a great game on the ground last week for the Seahawks, being the eve of Yom Kippur. My next question: How were banks open on Monday if Jews couldn't work? And while we're here, the only thing black people do is commit crime and shoot guns; white people can't dance and white men can't jump; those following Islam are terrorists; and Asians can't drive.” - Kevin Hunt.

4) “So that’s what it’s like to get beaten by Chris Brown – I feel your pain, Rihanna.” - Jason Fazzone.

3) “Only thing more difficult than watching this game would be eating pumpernickel bread served by Kevin Hunt.” - Anthony Tynan.

2) “Peyton Manning + Justin Timberlake + Erin Andrews = one helluva commercial. Or a naughty, naughty hotel porno. ‘Cut that meat! Cut that meat!’” - Nick Lay.

1) “With both Maurice Jones-Drew and Mike Sims-Walker, the Jags have a distinct advantage in amount of last names on a roster. How do YOU intimidate your opponents?” - Jeff Schaffer.

Four weeks, four different QOTW winners. Congratulations to Jeff Schaffer for coming through with the week four Quote Of The Week. Nick Lay came close, but ultimately fell just short. We will have to wait until week five to see if someone can claim their second QOTW honor.

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