If you've ever played in a suicide football pool, you know how they work. If you don't, you're an idiot.

Anyhow, being the genius that I am, I realised you have to pick some bad teams sooner or later. And Dallas Vs. Houston jupmed into my head. Ya see, expansion teams (Houston) typically don't do well their first years. In fact, they haven't won an opener in 40 years or something. So I figured Dallas would be a safe bet to whomp them, and I'd have used a shitty pick at the beginning of the season.

From what I can tell, a lot of people thought that way. And a lot of people got dicked.

Apparently we all overlooked the "Quincy Carter" factor. You know... that ability that some quarterbacks have to find a guy wide open in a zone, and overthrow a pass by about 20 feet to his right. Or about 8 feet over his head. Or to throw interceptions.

My boy Quincy did all of the above and more. He looked about as lost and scared as a high school team would if Brian Urlacher was on the other team. In short, he sucked donkey.

This probably won't mean anything, but I am publically stating here and now that I will never make any bet where my winnings depend on the performance of Quincy Carter.
