war across the shore 2010: halftime update

After week 1:

Dave 106.5
Niraj 104
Mark 70.5

It's still anybody's game...for the right to hit mark in the face with a burrito.

mark picked a bad week to SHIT THE BED

He loses for the first time all season. Now he and I are both 3-1.

And now he's looking down the barrel of taking a burrito to the face.

War Across the Shore 2010 IS ON!

Bigger and better than ever in 2010. 3-way War Across the Shore (Dave vs Mark vs Niraj) over weeks 4 & 5. Highest combined point total for those weeks, smacks the lowest 13 times. Middle participant buys burrito. Let's get it on.

There's a clear pecking order in the East and West, with last year's BS SB I matchup both undefeated. 3-way tie in the central for first, thanks to my miracle at Candlestick.

War Across The Shore: VIDEO CONCLUSION

1st Annual War Across The Shore: The Hidden Emails

After the conclusion of the two-week WATS battle, Mark had won 1 burrito smack. For posterity, here is the previously hidden email thread that reveals how the stakes got raised. In hindsight, Mark and I were quite prophetic.

this performance deserves its own post

This was ridiculous. And you look at it, he left 9 points on the bench at QB, at 8.5 at TE. I suppose it helps when your #1 pick overall has a good game, but not as good as the RB you traded for, who wasn't as good as a WR that just set the all-time record for receptions in a game.

Talk about peaking at the right time. Mark gets to smack Burnsy in the face 13 times with a burrito and is the odds on favorite to win BS Super Bowl I.

1st Annual War Across The Shore results

Final Score
Mark: 251
Niraj: 249.5

Unbelievable. Needing 17 to tie, Brandon Marshall puts up 12 in the first half, and then is stuck on 17 for most of the 4th quarter. And then in garbage time, Marshall gets one more reception to seel the deal. Couldn't have been closer.

So yes, that means that Mark gets to smack Niraj one time in the face with a Chipotle burrito.

War Across The Shore canceled

Due to unforeseen budget cuts, this year's War Across The Shore has been canceled. Perhaps we can do it next year.

Update: This was just a joke to piss off Mark.

War Across The Shore: Final Day Update

I never would have guessed, based on the previous fluctuating totals, that the WATS would come down to the wire like this.

Mark was ahead by 9 points, coming into this week. Niraj currently is finished with a 26-point lead for this week.

Which means if Brandon Marshall gets 16.5 or less: Niraj smacks Mark.
If Marshall gets 17.5 or more: Mark smacks Niraj.
If Marshall gets 6.5 or less, Niraj gets to smack Mark twice.

Here is Marshall's history:

1	@Cin				4
2	Cle				5.5
3	@Oak				14.5
4	Dal				17
5	NE				22
6	@SD				6.5
7	BYE				-
8	@Bal				4
9	Pit				?

It looks good for Niraj, but it's not out of the question. In fact, Denver is at home and the last two home games, Marshall got 17 and 22. ESPN has Marshall projected to get 13.5. This one will be a nailbiter.

(Also, if Marshall manages to get exactly 17, I think the only fair tiebreaker, is compare next week's scores head-to-head.)

War Across the Shore: Who Ya Got?

In the style of these posts...

One of these men will get to slap the other with a Chipotle burrito (I recommend the Barbacoa or Carnitas!)

This is all you need to know about my matchup this week:

I still can't believe I lost in week 3. Eff.

Oh and yeah, and it's the War Across the Shore!

Week 8: Vag @ Cock! Week 9: Cock @ Vag!



Mark is lucky the War wasn't in weeks 6 & 7. That would have been 12 burrito smacks to the face. (116 point victory margin.)

The War Across the Shore

A two-week, back-to-back, cumulative fantasy showdown between Mark and Niraj. My role, purchasing the stakes.

Here are the best three options I've come up with.

The winner gets to smack the loser in the face with...

a) a cooked, room-temperature bratwurst (or sausage variety of the winner's choice, ie: polish, italian, etc.)
b) a Chipotle burrito
c) an ethnic showdown--if Mark is the winner, he smacks burnsy with a Schwarma. if Niraj wins, he smacks Mark with a samosa.

Optional variant: every 10 points of victory margin is an added swing. eg, Niraj wins by 33 so he gets a total of 4 swings (1 for victory, 3 for points).

Let's get this decided by Saturday...put it on the board!
