NFL Week 2, Pete Alonso's wild return to New York, spiders and more.

Um, Week one for me will always be remembered as the Chargers eliminating half our survivor pool.

We had 35.

Let me just give people a little background on this because I think I discussed it on Monday.

But you were one of the I texted two people like three or four days before the season started.

You and my buddy Diesel.

I asked both of you, are you in survivor pools? You both said no.

And I haven't run any kind of pool or league probably since college at this point.

So I'm like, should I just do it? Stop being a lazy fuck.

Just do it.

I'm like, all right.

So I say, I'll organize the survivor pool.

And I'm messaging tons of old SI colleagues, my friends who I do pools with.

get family members in the mix my cousins my brother get everyone in the mix because i just wanted to do a survivor pool i haven't done a survivor pool in god only knows maybe 10 years at least i wanted to do one and basically spend four days harassing people to join sending links sending codes don't forget to sunday morning don't forget and then three hours of not even pleasure i don't even know what the word three hours of pain and it's over and i got nothing to do now

Three hours of watching Jacoby Brissett stick it down our throats.

My biggest regret...

And

I'm the one who's always said Justin Herbert's the most overrated player in the NFL.

And then you get in bed with him the first week.

My general philosophy in these survivor pools is do not pick the favorite because that is how...

Obviously, if you could avoid it.

If it's a tough slate and you feel like that's the best game, whatever, but... that's how people lose like it's obvious the lambs being led to the slaughter and i didn't think in this spot in week one which is hard to to pick a game because you just don't know now at least we have some reference point with watching the week one games i was betting on the fact that a the cardinals stunk a year ago b it's horrible i trust him as a coach to have everything ready see i think the charge is gonna be pretty good and all three were incorrect and it wasn't even like I felt like I never had a chance to win that game.

You did it.

It was a, it was for me, it was a 100% anti Cardinals pick because number one, I do think Herbert's the most overrated player in the game.

I think Harbaugh is an extremely overrated coach and they have no home field advantage.

So I just, you know, I told you, I bet the Cardinals under three and a half.
