Now that all the HH followers know your predictions for the second half of the season, why not back up your predictions with a wager?  Not of a financial nature, of course.  That would be too easy.  We need you to make this bet worthy of your predictions.  First, we need a definitive winner and loser.  We have to make certain that there is zero possibility of a push.  So, I propose a scenario that allows for multiple embarrassing situations, strictly based upon who is closest to the final overall record.  For example, if the skins finish 10-6, then Ken wins big and he chooses three embarrassing scenarios for Kevin because Kevin finished three games from the final record.  Likewise, if the skins finish 7-9, Ken must embarrass himself in three ways.  To ensure that we get to see at least one person humiliate himself, we include the following scenarios for other records:

 

8-8       Kevin is closest, but one game away from correct.  Ken is two games off.  Ken is the victim of one prank. 

 

9-7       Ken is closest, but one game away from correct.  Kevin is two games off.  Ken is the victim of one prank.   

 

In the unlikely scenario that the skins finish either 11-5 or better 6-10 or worse, then we can continue the above scenario of addition and subtraction. 

 

Now for the important issue- What are the stakes?  I say, you let the HH followers email suggestions and we can vote for the best/most creative ideas.  Here are a few off the top for the LOSER:

McNabb’s game stats vs Dallas the past two years are listed below.  Last year was a borderline disaster.  2008 was great, but still only resulted in a split, mostly due to a poor Philly defense.  The good news is that his best game came in week 2 of 2008.  The bad news is he is 1-3 in the last four regular season games and 1-4 including last year's debacle in the playoffs. The most discouraging part of these stats is the fact the last year McNabb had a better offensive line and a better group of receivers.  As far as I know, the Cowboys defense hasn’t changed much since last year.  It looks like our best chance on offense is going to be to establish a running game and a lot of production from Cooley and Davis.  I really hope the defense can force some turnovers and provide McNabb with some good field position, perhaps even a pick six.  Otherwise, McNabb might have a long day.  One final note, B Westbrook played in three of the four regular season games.

With about 50 seconds remaining in the first half, and the offense moving the ball, the Skins had a third and short and two timeouts.  Zorn and the offense ran the ball for a first downn and more, which was great.  With the clock running, Zorn elected not to use one of his remaining timeouts.  I have no idea why.  Instead, the offense stalled and took a 5 yard penalty, then proceeded to call timeout with 17 seconds remaining.  So instead of calling a timeout with roughly 40 seconds remaining and a first and ten in order to stop the clock, they waited, took a penalty, and called timeout with under 20 seconds remaining, after the clock had stopped.  How long has this guy been in the NFL as a player and a coach?  Either he didnt know he had two timeouts, which is embarrassing, or he forgot that he is allowed to use all three in the first half and they don't carry over to the second half.  Bottom line, no NFL coach should be making those kind of mistakes.  Let's hope he learns to manage the clock better.  Does anybody know if any of the post game shows or talking heads on the radio and TV brought this up to Zorn?  I didn't hear any questions or comments about it yet.

 The NFL owners should make a pact that they will not draft Michael Crabtree next year.  If Crabtree sits out this year, he will re-enter the draft next year.  He is such a crybaby.  The owners and GMs should do something to prevent this from happening in the future.  If he doesnt get draftted next year, he will be screwed.  He has a lot of potential but I think this holdout is absurd.  I am curious to know what everyone else thinks.

I am already tired of people saying that Haynesworth isnt worth a hundred million dollars.  He isnt getting a hundred million.  Anybody who knows anything about the NFL cap knows that 90% of the players never recieve their full contract.  He is guarenteed 41 million.  That is it.    I am not saying that I like the signing.  Right now, I do not like it at all.  But I am tired of people saying that he isnt worth a hundred million.  The real question right now should be is he worth 41 Million.
