10. Some of us, who shall remain nameless (see: Nola Chick) had bandages removed from wrist slitting "accident" after Saints home opener
9. Learned we can bet like the big boys this football season, thanks to Hot Chicks Hot Picks.
8. Played a fascinating round of our own version of "Who Would You Do", thanks to The Big Picture.
7. Realized there'd be plenty of people in line before us at the gates to hell after reading comments on Deadspin.
6. Longed for the bitter, albeit colorful commentary of Grandmaster Wang.
5. Started pool guessing what Chef Who Dat would come up with for this weekend's throwdown in the dome. (Panthers Pate' perhaps???)
4. Found more "Who Would You Do" inspiration after checking out the Femme Fan "Locker Room Lookers."
3. Began the process of creating a myspace page, only to realize we're turning into our parents. "That cyber-net stuff is scary, baby. Just give me my abacus and I'm good"
2. Appeared as the top vote getting article on armchairgm.com. (BTW, it's not too late to vote for us!) And from the looks of the comments, it seems like these Chicks ruffled a few feathers with our 13-3 Saints prediction.
1. Found inspiration to create our own t-shirts featuring the Saints unofficial new slogan: Do It For Deuce!
We'll wrap things up this week by sending Matt Leinart a "Your Welcome" card for letting him borrow our old "I was too drunk to remember" excuse.
Top 10 Ways We Kept Busy During the Bye Week...
With the Saints Away, the Chicks Will Play
The bad news about this week in the NFL: the Saints are on a bye. The good news about this week in the NFL: the Saints are on a bye. So with no black and gold team to stress over, the Chicks have decided to get all up in the Kool-Aid (and yes, we do know the flavor) of some other NFL teams and must see matchups.
'ROTTEN' BENCH
How cool is it to get to say you're both captain of your football team and head cheerleader? Several high profile quarterbacks will spend four quarters watching their games from the sidelines this Sunday and for various reasons. Some because they suck, some because they're hurt, and still others, well, all of the above.
Sidelined:
Matt Leinart, QB Arizona Cardinal
But Why?: Suckyness/Rookie Mistakes
Replacement: Kurt Warner
Jake Delhomme, QB Carolina Panthers
But Why?: Elbow Issues
Replacement: David Carr
Rex Grossman, QB Chicago Bears
But Why?: Did you really have to ask? Dude sucks like Lewinsky in her favorite little black dress
Replacement: Brian Griese
Josh McCown, QB Oakland Raiders
But Why?: Broken Toe
Replacement: Daunte Culpepper
Interesting to Note: Daunte will be taking on his former team, the Miami Dolphins. Which leads us to our next topic....
I promise this isn't a line. But um, don't I know you from somewhere?
Finally, Falcons fans will get to boo someone other than their own team. Ex-Falcon QB Matt Schaub returns to the Georgia Dome this Sunday for the first time since getting cut. The Texans (2-1) take on the Falcons (0-3) in a game that's got "Damn it, we're going to hear a lot of commentating on dog fighting" written all over it.
Ravens friend turned foe Jamal Lewis will also be taking on his old team when Baltimore and the Browns meet up in Cleveland. Let's see how much he likes being on the receiving end of that obnoxious Ray Lewis sack dance. (Wasn't T.O.'s version so much cooler?)
There's Something About Brett
The Vikings will likely have the honor of starring in Brett Favre's highlight reel after he breaks Dan Marino's career TD passing record tomorrow. How can we be so sure tomorrow's game goes in the history books? Um, have you been watching the Vikings play. Not to mention, the Packers have won three of their last four games played in Minnesota and the Vikings have the 20th ranked pass defense in the league.
So kick up your feet, pop open a cold one, and relax my little Who Dats. There's plenty-o pigskin to be had this Sunday. And at least this time around, you can watch without the threat of throwing something at your plasma in a fit of rage.
