GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

A full description of these awards can be found here.

A no-frills version of the LESTERS this week as I have found myself swamped, a victim of my own predisposition towards procrastination . No awards this week for the Homer or the Buckeye.

FRASIER

A tough week overall for the league as only two managed to win 10 games; Lords of the Goalposts (mtjaws) and FinalSequel (Bobby). The LESTERS do not recognize tie-breakers. This is the first time this season to have multiple Frasier winners. Well done, gentlemen.

MEATHEAD

Now I know why I've been dragging my feet this week. I won a Meathead! Ugh! 7-7 isn't going to cut it, not with this many good players. Misery loves company so I'm not he only recipient this time around. Sherasbear and The Graphers (tuckgraph) wallow with me.

WOJO

Some may think '0' is a lower number than 7 so NYBRIAN246 should get the Meathead but he didn't get his picks logged in on time so he gets his own special award this week.

GUIDING LIGHT

Needing at least three consecutive weeks of double digit production to even qualify, only two achieve that and it's our two Frasier winners, Bobby and mtjaws.

BOBBY EWING

Last week bowling255 gimmicked his way to a total of three wins and so he wins the Ewing this week almost by default.

A TEAM

BuskieBoy keeps winning something every week and this time it's a good one. He is the only one to correctly choose the Browns big upset over TO and the Bills. Strangely, the spread was even greater for the Bengals/Ravens battle but two players chose Cincinnati.

HANK HILL

Those playing it safe went 9-5, a lot better than my 7-7 so who am I to criticize 123home123 or Priest=Aura (jokipper) for their strategy?

DOOGIE

Let's see, Culpepper started for the Lions so Stafford didn't play. Sanchez can't count either because Henne started for Miami so everyone washes out everyone else on that game Monday night so that only leaves Josh Johnson for Tampa Bay and bowling255 is the only one who chose the Bucs to break their slump. This is the category I need the most help on so if I mess up and miss a team starting a rookie QB please let me know.

VAN DYKE

Just a year ago the AFC South shined brightly throughout the NFL but this year only the Colts are feared. Gone is the day when the Jaguars, Titans and even the Texans were respected. That trifecta all lost Sunday, despite Sherasbear's misguided support for all three. For her, that support is the difference between a Frasier and a Meathead.

GILLIGAN

Five of us took it on the chin in the final minutes this week as the Ravens fell to the Cardiac Cats (as everyone insists on calling them now). Breaking from protocol, I'm including the Washington loss to the Panthers because they had a good lead against a winless team midway thru the third quarter. And the Monday night fiasco qualifies as well. Thinking the Jets, the team from Washington (I refuse to print their team nickname) and the Ravens had it in the bag were yours truly, BuskieBoy, tvfanatic91, Fireballil and Fish's Somewhat Accurate Picks (fishzone).

Hope everyone has a better week this next time around especially me so this is Les Ne........

Excuse me one more thing if you don't mind.

COLUMBO

Four teams had byes in Week Four and all four (Falcons, Eagles, Cardinals and Panthers) cashed in as a result of the extra time off. Only two in OUR league went 4-0 in those games and so the Columbo is hereby awarded to HeyStu's Sports Machine and IndianaMom.

Now we're done. Thank Heaven. Speaking of which, this is Les Nessman, saying good-bye and may the Good News be yours!

Finally! I was about to send you a nasty e-mail demanding that you post the Lesters. So sorry you're swamped. And Sunday's coming! I didn't expect any Lester's this week, so my Columbo is a nice surprise. Does it come wrapped in a wrinkled raincoat?

I am slowing getting to the bottom of the pack, LOL! My poor Ravens too, yuck! I think my picks are influenced by my fantasy team players and hoping that they will win. I'm 3-2 in my league, but I think I need to start making my picks a little better!

I feel so left out. (My fault for not playing of course.)

I was surprised that I was the only one to pick the Dawgs.
Actually it wasn't so much a Cleveland win as much as a Buffalo loss. I get all the Buffalo news, being just across the lake, and they have very, very deep problems. I think the atmosphere there is toxic and people are starting to point fingers. All this and they have NO offence to speak of at all, even with TO.
3 of my 5 loses were only by a FG, and unfortunately Houston couldn't punch in a late TD to tie.

What a rough week! Once again, the fourth quarter seems to be my nemesis. Or the wrong picks seem to be my nemesis. My first Meathead, I think. Maybe Meatheads shouldn't think! But that would take so much fun out of the world. At least I'm in good company.

Picking my favorite Dolphins and Bengals sure helped me get to 10 wins this week. Those were both awesome games. Now, this week looks a little harder.

Week 5 was pure failure to me.
I even lost the Guiding Light.

The Cle/Buf game was pure crap but congrats to Buskieboy for being the only person to get it right. My week 5 started off so well and ended poorly with the late games. How are you liking the meathead crown? Eh, everyone has to take their turn in the barrel, trick is to close your eyes and pretend it never happened when its done . Later .
