CHARLESTON AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. –
Troy Jarrell, powered by his Monday Night Football tie-breaker score, edged Ron "Pats Fan" Desautels and the incomparable, incredible, all-knowing, self-professed king of football, yours truly, the Super Swami, as all three finished the week with 11-5 records.
Team Charleston, beware, as the Swami is off to a fast start going 22-9 over the first two weeks.
This week's "stink out loud" winner for the second straight week is the St. Louis "Lambs" who got shellacked at home by the defending Super Bowl champs. My early season observations thus far are that the Rams, Chiefs, Falcons, Raiders, Dolphins, Bengals, Browns and Jags all stink. My beloved undefeated Steelers are awesome, and everybody else is just average.
There is a tie for this week's "cellar dweller dunce cap" award between Big Al Urrutia who, by the way, was the only person to pick Philly Monday night, and Beth Bartley as both could only manage a 6-9 mark! Both are reminded to heed the Super Swami's advice and free winning picks each week.
Please send your picks to 437MXS.Swami@charleston.af.mil prior to kickoff of the early games on Sept. 28.
