DB Ronde Barber, G Steve Hutchinson and DL Richard Seymour also made the semifinalist list in their first tries. S LeRoy Butler, DEs Leslie O’Neal and Simeon Rice, and CB Everson Walls also are first-time semifinalists, though they have been eligible candidates in the past.
The 2018 semifinalist list includes 12 offensive players, 13 defensive players and two coaches. The coaches, Don Coryell and Jimmy Johnson, have a combined 15 appearances on the semifinalist list. Johnson won two Super Bowls in five years with Dallas and closed his career with four years in Miami, a relatively short career compared with most Hall of Fame coaches.
Coryell coached for 14 years, making his mark especially with San Diego in the late 1970s and early 1980s, leading teams to great regular seasons but faltering in the playoffs.
Even in a week in which Andy wins his first Alternative Picks week and gets more games correct straight up than Tony, his bets remain a dumpster fire. No, a tire fire. No, a forest fire. No, probably, more accurately, a fire set in a dumpster full of tires out in the middle of a dry forest.
Andy failed to get a single bet correct, putting him in sniffing distance of the bottom of his budget. Tony’s not exactly lighting Vegas on fire, but he’s mostly putting up 2-2 weeks and he’s profiting a few hundred bucks at a time.
This is turning into some Harlem Globetrotters/Washington Generals exhibition side show.
It was another hideous week for Andy, who is currently checking with his accountant to see if it’s legally allowable to pay off debts with funds from his daughter’s college account.
…
…
We’re kidding. … We hope.
At any rate, Tony’s commanding lead got bigger. Andy’s left pondering, once again, whether the game has passed him by. … Or whether there was ever really a time in which it was sitting in front of him and he actually knew what was going on.
With that little bit of positivity, here are the standings:
Week 7
Tony 10-5
Total
65-37
Andy, again, gets to choose. He goes first. And here are Tony’s winners, err, we mean the picks for this week. (more…)
This is turning into a bad joke. Andy got killed again. Not that Tony’s picks have been great, but … Andy’s continue to be godawful. What we anticipated would be a fun contest where one of us might owe the equivalent of a Subway sandwich is turning into a Manny’s Steakhouse dinner.
Andy’s going to need to turn things around fast or he’s going to have to start digging into college funds to pay the debt. Here are the standings:
The one week stretch of strong bets dissipated fast. Andy and Tony both took it in the shorts in week six.

Andy: Well, that was fun while it lasted. Back to the drawing board. It seems every time I think I’ve figured this season out … well, that’s only happened once. And look where that got me.
