Man, it was a crappy weekend for me in football.

The Horns lost.

The Cowboys lost. (ugly, but what can you expect from Bledsoe?)

The Dolphins lost.

My fantasy team lost. (and to add insult to injury I scored the second highest number of points in the whole freaking league)

And finally, I found out the hard way that the Yahoo college pickem pool at work doesn't have default picks - if you forget to enter your picks in time, as I did, then you get zero points. No default favorites, no default dogs, no default home teams, no default visitors. No, you get zero points. I won't be making that mistake again.

Of course, in the spirit of this blog, the only good thing that happened this weekend with football was that I went 2-1 in my bets yesterday after going 3-0 last weekend. This season's starting out pretty well at 5-1 after just two weeks.

But while it's fun to win money on the Seahawks not covering at the Lions and the inevitable beatdown of the Texans AT HOME, it somehow feels empty without getting to cheer for at least one of my favorite teams coming out a winner.

And for those of you who are Rice fans, nice job covering +28 at UCLA. That's my sole loss of the season so far.

Maybe I will add football picks as a weekly blog feature...
