Should I Change My Username to Nostradamus?
Listen, don't take this the wrong way. But I'm pretty pumped at how last night's events turned out as the ending point of a great week. Improved upon last week's 11-5 showing with a 12-4 performance this week, bumping my overall NFL record this year to 23-9. My lock and my upset both came true, and my player likes and dislikes weren't so bad. But Monday Night Football was the icing on the cake. Let me quote from my post yesterday before the Saints vs 49ers game (which was appropriately titled "Frank Boar Will Dominate Tonight":)
Gore will go off. He sucked in Week 1 against Seattle. Doesn't happen twice in a row. The Saints run defense isn't the most spectacular in the league, and Gore is a spectacular back. The Niners saw their stud QB Alex Smith fire a million interceptions last week, so hopefully they will recognize the clear need to run the ball and pound it down the Saints' throat. So just like yesterday's upset, you heard it here before the act. Gore goes off for a big day, but the Niners fall to 0-2 on the season.
Just to clarify, let me tell you what eventually happened in this game. The Saints won, 25-22. The Niners fell to 0-2 on the season. What about Gore? Nothing too crazy -- only 29 fantasy points. 29. That's correct. 112 rushing yards, 7 catches for 56 yards, 2 touchdowns. Beastly numbers from a beast. They call him Frank Boar for a reason. He just runs like a boar when the going gets tough. Even though I predicted the Saints, I was really hoping the Niners would pull this one off. That's a team with a lot of heart that just finds every way in the book to shoot themselves in the foot. Muffed punts, red zone interceptions, red zone fumbles -- what do you have to do, for crying out loud! I know what they have to do. GIVE THE BALL TO FRANK BOAR!! That's the solution for everything. When they do it, they win. Game, set, match.
Really though... I know not to get too cocky, because I could easily shit the bed next week and end up back close to .500 on the season. But I'm just wondering -- will people actually get interested in this damn site if I go like 107-30 or something? Like just give every reason to believe I actually can see the future? Will it make people view this website? Because I'm tellin' ya, with every day that passes and our stats decrease... it makes me wonder why this thing's still up and running. But don't worry. I'm not bailing any time soon.
Can't wait till next Sunday when I can start rooting for my favorite junior varsity team -- I mean, the Patriots. Sorry.
