CHARLESTON AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. –
"Flyin" Brian Sommerfeldt had all the right answers posting a sweet 14-2 record on Turkey weekend. Brian bested Beth "Rainbow" Trout, John "Hitman" Hearn and Alen "beagle on a scent" Moyer who all had a very impressive 13-3 showing.
The Swami would like to post a correction. John "the Hitman" Hearn actually has a winning pct. of .754, not .703 as reported in the last article. I personally had my buddy Donald Trump fire my Statistical Department head over this error. On a somber note, the Swami is writing this column from his private hospital room while recovering from a near fatal overdose of Tums, Rolaids and Pepto ingested during my beloved Steelers loss to the Baltimore "DoDo Birds."
Week 12 saw the Saints take the Pats behind the woodshed to remain perfect while the Colts had to battle back to edge the Texans keeping their unbeaten streak alive. Brett Favre led Vikes, who also belong in this conversation having lost only once thus far to my beloved Steelers.
This week's "stink out loud" award once again belongs to the Washington "Deadskins" who somehow keep finding new and inventive ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. One day the Seven Dwarfs were marching through the forest and fell into a deep, dark ravine. Snow White peered over the edge and called out to the fallen dwarfs. From the depths of the dark hole a voice returned saying, "the Cowboys are going to win the Super Bowl." Snow White pondered for a moment and thought to herself, "Thank God ... at least Dopey survived."
This week's "cellar dweller dunce cap" award is shared by Dan "one night' Fling, "Super" Dave Linquist and Robert "Tree Daddy" Greenwood, who all could only muster a dismal 9-7 effort. The swami thinks' if these three stooges had to pick football games for a living they would be living in refrigerator boxes under the Mark Clark Expressway.
Now without further delay I present my week 14 stone-cold, steel-pipe, fearless, sell your dad's baseball card collection, guaranteed winning predictions. Please send your picks to 437mxs.swami@charleston.af.mil
