Former champs go down in flames

Before I make fun of this week's casualties, I'd like to send out props to Daunte Culpepper for not sucking more than Kerry Collins. Thank god I don't have to think about Miami again this year, except of course, when picking a team that will spank them like a beached whale.

Wha happened?

In one of the harder selection weekends in recent memory we lost 5 people from the pool including two former champs. That leaves us with a bakers dozen degenernate gamblers left.

People who now really hate Jake Plummer (if the beard wasn't enough reason to start with):




I don't feel sorry for these 3 though ... picking Buffalo and Detroit is just plain stupid:



That's it,
Commissioner Hedges

ps- I MADE TO WEEK 4! Here's to lowered expectations!

Rookies!

Oh, Nolin, we hardly knew ye. You've never experienced the St. Louis Rams Eliminizer Screwover*, and thus are the only contestant to be knocked out in Week 2.




* There is some debate as to whether the curse followed Mike Martz to Detroit, or stayed with the Rams. I'd guess that it's BOTH. In fact, just avoid the whole NFC.

The Panthers have betrayed you!

Week One of the 2006 Eliminizer was remarkable for its lack of bloodshed... We're usually down to three or four guys by now.

Thanks to CAR 6, ATL 20, we're rid of Boyd Howells and Colin Toal.
 
Sorry, fellas.

The early lines for Week Two are in, but they'll update until Friday.
