Redeem week has been a good week for the King of Arguments. Podcasts, LIVE F'd Up Pick Of The Week, Standings, Award Standings, Week 11 Comments and Special Sections all made their way onto the blog in the past five days. Today, after this post, we will be completely set for week 12, and more importantly, the remainder of the season.
Giddy up, the week 11 quotes of the week are here.
TOP TEN (or so) WEEK ELEVEN QUOTES
20) "This is a match-up of which team can become the Chris Quinn (or any ND B-Ball player for that matter) of their conference: Just average." - Matt Barnes.19) "This may become an annual tradition... Cleveland vs. equally awful team = Helen Keller Bowl. Despite being blind, deaf and mute, Keller found a way to communicate. By a similarly incredible feat, one of these teams is likely to come out with a win. (Note: I just changed my pick to Cleveland assuming these teams will end in a tie. Not joking.)" - Kevin Hunt.
18) "The Giants have gone all JJ Redick on us. Started off great like JJ in college but what's happened? The Giants have lost 4 in a row and Redick is about as useful as the mop boy under the hoop. Actually, that's an insult to the mop boy." - Matt Barnes.
17) "Felony Bowl. It's strange seeing RBs go to Cinci to revive their careers. You know, I heard that Lawrence Phillips is a free agent...c'mon Mike Brown! You know you want to!" - Nick Lay.
16) "The Jaguars are doing better than I am in ATS pick 'em. If I didn't have a bigger fan base than the Jags, I wouldn't be able to handle it." - Brian Boesch.
15) "Sometimes it's better to look at stats a little differently. This isn't the case for the Browns. Kansas City has 8 more TDs than the Browns offensively. BUT! The Browns do have one more TD on the ground. 2-1! The name on the door is Cleveland." - Brian Boesch.
14) "I can see giving up kick return touchdowns to Cribbs and Harvin, but Bernard Scott too? I’m just waiting for Eric Metcalf to suit up for the Chiefs in this one – I can slick my hair back and relive 1993 all over again." - Jason Fazzone.
13) "JaMarcus Russell finally got benched. Their solution? Start the former Browns legends either Bruce Gradkowski or Charlie Frye. I hear they have Kelly Holcomb and Jeff Garcia on speed dial--wait, that last one might be true." - Jamie Reamer.
12) "Eli Manning is Michael J. Fox. You're not sure he's done anything worthwhile for some time, then you always remember "Back to the Future" (or, in Eli's case, a Super Bowl win)." - Kevin Hunt.
10-tie) "Mike Holmgren says he'd like to interview for the Browns' coaching job. Why not give him a headset this week so he can listen in? If he still wants the job after the game, I say that's enough commitment for a hire." - Jeff Schaffer.
10-tie) "Question: If Jay Cutler throws a pass in the forest, will anyone be there to pick it off?" - Jeff Schaffer.
9) "JaMarcus Russell is Jim Abbott. Like Abbott, Russell was born without his right hand and instead throws with his left han... wait, what?? Russell actually has both hands?? And he STILL throws like that??" - Kevin Hunt.
8) "After this game, Chris Simms might have to make a call to Luke Walton and discuss how much it sucks to be so much worse than your Hall of Fame dad." - Matt Barnes.
7) "I wonder how many people are taking Detroit in their survivor pick-em leagues this week. Some sign ideas for this game: "I thought those blackouts were strictly metaphorical terms." "I drove all the way from across the street to go to this game." "Is the six-legged turkey a bird or a combination of these teams' quarterbacks?" "I finally understand why Luke wants us to send our prayers to Brady Quinn."" - Eric Hug.
6) "In one of his typical prime-time performances, Jay Cutler will find 10 different receivers in this game. Four of them will be Eagles." - Jason Fazzone.
5) "Sex Offender Bowl. Because Ben Roethlisberger is a rapist. And Todd Haley is a fag (according to Larry Johnson). Sounds like a win-win for those two." - Nick Lay.
4) "Luke Florence Bowl. I have no idea what either of these teams records are. Also, I have no idea what anyone's records are as of 3:31 PM EST Saturday in our pick 'em league." - Nick Lay.
3) "There's potential for both teams like there is with Kevin Love. But potential is the same thing Charlie Weis had as Notre Dame's coach and Luke as a tennis player. Didn't get them anywhere." - Matt Barnes.
2) "I read that Roy Williams is going back to wearing a visor since this is a noon game. This way he'll have a better view of all of Miles Austin's catches." - Jeff Schaffer.
1) "RB Chris Johnson is Stephen Hawking. For all we know, he operates as a machine, not even as a human. Though I have a feeling Stephen Hawking's wheelchair seriously lacks, 'gettin' away from the cops speed.'" - Kevin Hunt.
Congratulations to Kevin Hunt for taking home the Week 11 Quote Of The Week. Kevin joins Matt Barnes, Nick Lay, and Brian Boesch as two-time winners of this prestigious award.
There are still six weeks left to try and gain entry to the Quote Of The Year derby.
And just like that, Redeem Week is over. The goal was to try and 'redeem' what was lost due to my sickness last week. Here's to hoping that was accomplished on some level.
Until next time, "read it, roll it, hole it."
