DL Subscribers, my bad. I know I’m filing this post one day late, but gimme a bit of a break — my mental bandwidth has been monopolized by 2 things this week.
The first? This pic of Sean McVay morphed into a woman. You’ve probably seen it going around. I’ve been semi-entranced by it.
And it took me a minute to figure out why, but I finally put my finger on it: “she” looks *a lot* like this girl I met at a Halloween party last year — she was dressed up as Hulk Hogan, had the golden mustache and everything — that I ended up going out with one time. Eerily similar. Not sure there’s much else to analyze there, but it’s been lingering in the back of my mind for the last few days.
The second thing? The FTX collapse. I’m fascinated by it. I’m reading everything I can on Sam Bankman-Fried, aka SBF, the schlubby gremlin who spearheaded this $50 billion fraud. The only thing I don’t want to know more about is the weird polyamory round robin they seemed to have going on down in the Bahamas, because frankly none of the main characters put led in my pencil. If you follow. (Ok that’s a lie, I want to read more about that part of the FTX saga, too.)
Anyway, it got me thinking about who are the biggest frauds of the 2022 NFL season to this point.
No one is on the level of SBF here, obviously. How could they be? As Andrew Ross Sorkin put it, he’s the “Michael Jordan of crypto!” Or ripping people off, apparently. Still, let’s give a shoutout to a few lower-level frauds while were on the topic. Without further ado:
Russell Wilson
Nathaniel Hackett
Josh McDaniels
Allen Robinson II
The Green Bay Packers
The LA Rams
Trevor Lawrence (too soon?)
Baker Mayfield
Aaron Glenn, Lions DC
Ezekiel Elliott
With those fugazis now out of the way, let’s make some picks. Here is the Sunday 6 Pack, presented by Canter’s Deli.
Indianapolis Colts (+7) vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Detroit Lions (+3) at New York Giants
New England Patriots (-3) vs. New York Jets
Dallas Cowboys (-1.5) at Minnesota Vikings
Las Vegas Raiders (+2.5) at Denver Broncos
Los Angeles Chargers (+5) vs. Kansas City Chiefs
2022 Record: 31-27-2, Last Week: 3-3
Well, that had to feel good. Two (nearly three) of your dogs were outright winners, and that Dallas score... I do miss it, however, when you just post your selections without mentioning any of the thought process behind them.
The real question is... would you? (w re: to shawna mcvay?) I feel like it might be your dream girl!
