2010 NFL ATS Pick 'Em: Week Six QOTW

By: Luke Florence
Most NFL teams come off bye weeks refreshed, re-focused and re-energized for the rest of the year. They look forward to the bye week as a chance to heal pre-existing injuries and provide a new start to build momentum.

This league is not the NFL.

Coming off our bye week, our pick 'em league could have gone one of two ways. We could have produced an extreme high number of comments, or a record-low.

The latter prevailed.

Unfortunately life gets in the way sometimes. Lord knows that has happened to me before ... continually does, and always will. With only two league members sending in comments expect a shift in all of the following standings.

GUS JOHNSON STANDINGS (after six weeks)

1) Jake Young - Gus continually brings it, and the last several weeks so has Jake. With the rest of the league failing to show up, Jake stands alone.

2) Kevin Hunt - his Big Ben e-mail might wins awards, but it certainly vaulted him towards the top here.

3) Jeff Schaffer - celebrated a bit too much on his previous week #1 ranking ... still got plenty of time to get back up there.

4) Brian Boesch - went to the Browns-Bengals game and never came back.

5) Gus Johnson - it could happen ... believe.

SWAMI AWARD STANDINGS

1) Kevin Hunt's Ballbuster Pick of the Week (4-1) - No Pick.

2) Luke Florence's Sunday Ticket Not Gonna Watch Pick of the Week (2-4) - SEA over CHI.

3) Jake Young's Seabiscuit Pick of the Week (2-3) - ATL lost to PHI.

4) Brian Boesch's F'd Up Pick of the Week (2-1) - No Pick.

5) Kevin Hunt's Gus Johnson Pick of the Week (1-2) - No Pick.

TOP TEN WEEK SIX QUOTES

10) "Yo Big Ben is so fat, he didn't call Taco John's to see IF they delivered, he called to say they HAD to deliver." - Kevin Hunt.

9) "I wasn’t convinced how this one was gonna go, but it just seemed the probability of Julius Peppers killing Matt Hasselbeck was just too great." - Jake Young.

8) "Yo Big Ben is so unpopular, he was almost the target of the shooting at Michael Vick's birthday party, but he didn't get invited." - Kevin Hunt.

7) "Yo Big Ben is so douchey, he fit in at Miami of Ohio in every way (well, sorry, every way except for the Nick Lays of the world)." - Kevin Hunt.

6) "Yo Big Ben is so bad with money, he makes Detroit look like Charles Schwab (yay Detroit!!)." - Kevin Hunt.

5) "I tweeted the other day, 'What would you do if Favre sent you a picture of his dong?' I got one response. 'Right click>>Set as background' I’m guessing that’s what Romo did when he got his copy." - Jake Young.

4) "Yo Big Ben is so sloppy, when he eats he makes Barnes look elegant." - Kevin Hunt.

3) "Big Ben is so gay, He makes Elton John look straight. Romo is homo." - Kevin Hunt.

2) "I’ve been dangling Matt Schaub as trade bait much the way Ben used to (still does) dangle Little Ben in Georgia bars." - Jake Young.
