As I meditate and contemplate both the start of another glorious season of professional football and, victorious Saints and vanquished Vikings notwithstanding, the opening of our eighth annual Suicide Pool, I am struck by several interesting points about the Week One selections by the our garrulous group of 2010 participants.
More than 90% of the picks are in, including the Swami, and this ridiculously difficult first week has sent the Suicide world into a tizzy: 17 different teams are represented, 39 participants have picked on the road, no team garnered more than 24% of the vote, and two contests, the Colts at Texans and the Browns at Bucs, actually have participants pitted against each other.
Oh, yes, the chaos comes early this year.
And if you are wondering which team the Swami has blessed enough to support, you need look no further than the bottom of the page. I am on my beloveds this week, and proudly, and will see you all -- nay, only some of you -- alive in Week Two.
That is all.
