2009 NFL ATS Pick 'Em: Week Eight QOTW

By: Luke Florence

The plan was to input a podcast between the standings post and this one, but unfortunately, our guest plans fell through this week. We will be sending out a podcast schedule very soon. Please respond quickly as they will go on a first come first serve basis.

Without further ado, here are the week eight quotes.

Doesn't this award mean a little extra with Bill Walton retiring and all?

Added extra quotes this week, but as always, only the top ten will receive points.

TOP TEN WEEK EIGHT QUOTES
17) “Marc Bulger. Noel Devine. Kids. Travis Henry. Way More Kids.” - Shane Kline.

16) “No amount of riot punch could get anyone through this game. I'd take the secret tunnel BACK to the Holiday Inn and watch the other games on TV.” - Nick Lay.

15) “Ted Ginn makes Browns Version Braylon Edwards look like Jerry Rice.” - Eric Hug.

14) “The Mike Singletary Face vs. The Peyton Manning Face. Bill Simmons will be giddy.” - Brian Boesch.

13) “John Elway. Bubby Brister. Blitz 64. Billy Jo Hobert. Saints. Tim Couch Hail Mary For The Win.” - Shane Kline.

12) “DeSean Jackson. Jeremy Maclin. Gus Johnson. Speeeeeeeed.” - Shane Kline.

10-tie) “Romo is a stud … Seattle is decrepit … Reamer is homo.” - Nick Lay. (sorry Reamer, had to do it ... using the classic Romo Is Homo haiku to continue this ongoing battle warranted a top-ten spot)

10-tie) “I'm going with the word association this week. Miles Austin. Monmouth. Fighting Scots. Van Pelt. Tall. Schaffer.” - Shane Kline.

9) “‘Ghosts’ - A couple of teams whose identity is still pretty unclear. I guess the only clear thing we know about either team is Romo is homo.” - Matt Barnes.

8) “It makes me sick to my stomach that Fox is actually using a “Favre-cam” for this game. I’m sure John Madden hopes “Favre-cam” follows Favre into the locker room, into the stall, into the shower – you get the picture.” - Jason Fazzone.

7) “Hey Kyle Orton. See what's happening with Kerry Collins in Tennessee? That's you in 365 days. Enjoy this year of fame.” - Brian Boesch.

6) “Jake Of The Man holds a passer rating of 56.5 that is #32 in the league (which is nearly 16 points HIGHER than Derek Anderson), but I guess they really have few options left. Not that anyone will be watching, considering 91% of the country is getting the Vikings-Packers game. This game is literally contained to the states of Arizona and North and South Carolina. John McCain is so happy.” - Kevin Hunt.

5) “Looking forward to next week when the Browns will only be 6 point underdogs to the vaunted bye week.” - Nick Lay.

4) “I mean, how can Denver be good? Every team they've played so far has gotten beat by the Broncos.” - Eric Hug.

3) “How is a man with the name Miles Austin black and from New Jersey? There's something very wrong with that.” - Jeff Schaffer.

2) “Maurice Jones-Drew. Jackie Joyner-Kersee. Diamond Dallas Page. Diamond Cutter.” - Shane Kline.

1) “Matt Schaub. Fantasy. Megan Fox. Racist Robots. Black Jokes. Matt Barnes.” - Shane Kline.

Congratulations to Shane Kline for taking home the Week Eight Quote Of The Week. Another congrats to Kline for finishing 1-2 for the first time in the short history of this segment. His word association e-mail is going to be in the mix for the e-mail of the year award. Well done Shane.

The blog is completely updated now and be on the look out for the podcast schedule as well.

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