2011 NFL Smackdown Standings

Week #11 Notes:

• Nancy is the only contestant still above .500 for the season.
• The Jets still suck. Thanks, Tebow!

Week #10 Notes:

Very simple notes for this week:

J-E-T-S... SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!

Week #9 Notes:

• Patriots sucked and so did all four people in this Smackdown pool.

Week #8 Notes:

• After 116 games, Nancy and Kenny are out in front.

Week #7 Notes:

• Andy seizes control of the basement… which is actually cool, since we’re renovating our basement! Alex got out of the basement, but he used the bulkhead, so he’s just out in the backyard now. I’m not sure that’s an upgrade. With a 9 and 4 week, Kenny seizes control of the penthouse from Nancy… which is good, because I kept getting weird looks when announcing that “Nancy is in Penthouse.”
• Kenny tied for first this week! That means that Kenny will “almost” get to take home a pot!

Week #6 Notes:

• Sexy Rexy badmouths Norv Turner and then Norv asks Rex if he keeps his “promised” Super Bowl rings in the same box as the Super Bowl rings he would have won as the Chargers’ coach. Who knew that old Norv had it in him!
• Brady’s haircut is really working out. Haven’t lost a game since he dropped the metrosexual locks. You’re next, Edelman.

Week #5 Notes:

• Alex rallied to keep last place! Wow!

Week #4 Notes:

• Andy did Nancy’s picks for the week; Nancy beat Andy for the week. Andy won’t be picking for Nancy any more.
• Wow! Mark Sanchez (that’s the Jets’ quarterback, Nancy!) really sucked matzo balls this week! He sucked almost as much as Kenny’s picks sucked this week. Could this be the low-performance week that keeps Kenny just out of the money for the cumulative?
• *First week in Smackdown history that all participants have had different win totals. The family that disagrees on football picks together, stays together.

*Oddly enough, this week required Andy to disagree with himself and not try to totally sabotage Nancy.

Week #3 Notes:

Never again, Bill. Never again.

• Belichick dressing up like a pirate and going rollerskating had absolutely nothing to do with the Patriots losing to the Bills after having a 21-0 lead, or with the Red Sox blowing a 9 game wildcard lead. Just to be safe, though, it’s time to retire the Halloween pirate costume. This year, Bill’s Halloween costume is rumored to be an overweight Jets coach with a foot fetish.
• Nancy’s luck is holding. She’s got the early Smackdown overall lead.
• Alex’s luck is holding. He’s living life with brewing beer and growing mildew in the Smackdown standings cellar.

Week #2 Notes:

• Kenny independently chose the exact same teams as Andy save one. Unfortunately for Kenny, many of the teams Andy chose independently decided not to win.
• Alex started comparatively strong but then ended superlatively weak.
• We’re now one week away from Jets fans complaining that the Patriots are “running up the score” on opponents.
• Nancy’s doing no better without Genghis Nail on her side, but she’s at least submitting picks in a more timely manner.

Week #1 Notes:

• Hard Knocks it ain’t, but don’t miss the NFL’s Bill Belichick documentary on Wednesday. Here’s Deadspin’s exciting moments teaser (yes… it’s worth watching!).
• Emily drops out this year. Got tired of Andy saying, “you have a betting problem. You lose money faster than I can win it back. Please get help… with your picks!”
• Nancy fires her manicuring picker sidekick and hires a pedicuring picker sidekick. Makes more sense for football.
• Kenny resumes his comfortable position of just out of the money.
• Alex resumes his comfortable position of nowhere near the money.
• Lebron James buys into the Miami Dolphins just in time to screw Andy out of week #1 riches.
