2009 NFL ATS Pick 'Em: Week Six QOTW

By: Luke Florence

Homecoming has so many wonderful qualities that it's hard to complain about any negative side-effects that come with it. However, one drawback to the annual reunion of friends would have to be that it takes away from this league's quotes a bit.

Only a select few turned in comments on time, and of those, just a select few were worthy of being included in the race for Bill Walton.

TOP 10 WEEK SIX QUOTES
10) “Terrelle Pryor makes JaMarcus Russell look like Steve DeBerg. I have no idea what I mean by that, but I'm watching the OSU game right now and Pryor is wretched.” - Nick Lay.

9) “The Browns last beat the Steelers in 2003. Back then, Ohio State won big games, the Raiders were almost Super, George Bush was respected, and Nintendo Gamecube was a "technological advancement." But remember our slogan from last year...THE NAME ON THE DOOR IS CLEVELAND!” - Brian Boesch.

8) “Taco Tuesday kind of game. Two unbeaten teams. Two MVP candidates at QB. Hmm, kind of hungry for taco’s now. Or maybe just a churro.” - Matt Barnes.

7) “A Detroit team with no Johnson. Gonna be hard for them to punch it in the pink end zone. And the only reason that the end zone is pink is because it's breast cancer awareness month so get your head out of the gutter.” - Nick Lay.

6) “Only in Cleveland can a quarterback win the starting job by throwing three interceptions in a half, and keep the job after completing two passes in a game.” - Jason Fazzone.

5) “One time in intramural football, the opponent's QB ran for a touchdown and did the Culpepper Dance (which, in case you were wondering, sucks). On the next play, he slipped and sprained his ankle. I wish I would've seen the foreshadowing. I wish I would've paid more attention in English class.” - Brian Boesch.

4) “Taking Norv Turner to cover is betting suicide.” - Jason Fazzone.

3) “If Ray Lewis went to OU, you would probably find him at the Crystal. That’s where all the douche bags are. And no, he wouldn’t drink with them … he’d stab one.” - Matt Barnes.

2) “According to Wikipedia, a black hole is region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing, not even light, can escape. That's about right, Oakland.” - Brian Boesch.

1) “Fantasy play of the week: Picking up Matt Cassel and dropping DA. I could've started Jamie Reamer at QB and gotten more points than DA would've given me.” - Nick Lay.

Congratulations to Nick Lay for winning his 2nd Quote Of The Week honor. He is the first league member to have multiple qualifiers for the Quote Of The Year Award. Had to give him the nod this week because he beautifully intertwined a joke about the Cleveland Browns and one of our fellow league members.

Brian Boesch came close to winning that elusive QOTW, but ultimately fell just one place short. Odds are in his favor of claiming at least one QOTW before season-ends.

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