It's a safe bet Disney will not be running this in any upcoming ads...

Everyone loves Power Polls – no matter how silly the Rankings are. Remember when Winnacunnet beat Exeter, and was somehow ranked beneath them? HA! Anyway, everyone knows that the ONLY Power Poll that matters belongs to WTSN’s Justin McIsaac….
 

10. YES, THAT’S AN UPSET
BG over Exeter at Stellos was an upset any way you slice it – was Exeter emotionally spent after a crazy 35-34 win over rival Winnacunnet? Maybe, but even if they were, give BG credit for beating the defending D1 Champs 21-14. Most people expected the Blue Hawks to run the table, myself included.

9. SETTLE DOWN, COLLINSWORTH
Cris Collinsworth is not, to my knowledge, on the Patriots payroll, though you’d be hard pressed to convince people of that after the slurp job he was giving New England last night. Here’s the money quote (emphasis mine):
“We all know about Aqib Talib and his history. What happened in Tampa and all Bill Belichick does is bring ‘em in here and there hasn’t been one ounce of a problem. You know, there’s something about when they come in and play for the Patriots,whatever their issues may have been before, they disappear.

Ho boy. Cris, you may have noticed that somebody name Matt Mulligan was in the Pats lineup at TE? That’s only because Aaron Hernandez turned out to be a Batman villain. Not everyone’s issues disappear. Bad look for CC.
8. 4+5 = 2?

The Big Dawgs so far in D2 are all former members of D4 and D5 – STA, Plymouth, Trinity, and Monadnock lead their sub conferences, and Plymouth seems to be the Alpha Dawg after beating the Pioneers this weekend. Don’t sleep on Monadnock, though- the defending D5 Champs are as tough as a $2 steak and won’t be an easy out for ANYONE come playoff time.

7. YOU MAY ASK YOURSELF, WELL, HOW DID I GET HERE?
One minute you’re staying up for 48 hours at a time, on the road as a pro wrestler, complete with all the debauchery that lifestyle provides you, the next you’re wearing matching T-Shirts with your wife, kids, and in-laws and meeting all the Disney princesses.  I’m not saying wait as long as possible to have kids, only I’m totally saying wait as long as possible to have kids.
 
6. GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WILFORK!!!
Aside from Brady, Wilfork might be everyone’s favorite Patriot. The defense played well without him, but this morning we learned that he’ll be gone for the season. That’s figurative and literal HUGE loss. Bummed out my whole morning. Paging Richard Seymour!

5. EVERYONE STILL PART OF THE USC FOOTBALL TEAM STAY ON THE BUS. NOT SO FAST, LANE…
SuperDouche Lane Kiffin got the axe from USC right after getting pasted by Arizona State Saturday night. And by right after, I mean RIGHT after. Kiffin was called off the bus at LAX, fired, then NOT ALLOWED to get back on the bus as it drove away from the airport. That’s a Sonny Corleone style execution.

4. LOGJAM IN D3 SOUTH
Here’s your D3 South standings as of right now:
 

SOUTH
Pelham 3 0 0 3.00 1.0000
Bow 3 1 0 3.00 0.7500
Campbell 2 1 0 2.00 0.6667
Somersworth 2 2 0 2.00 0.5000

 
Pelham beat Bow in the opener, but only by a count of 7-0. Somersworth just won a tough road game at Campbell, and is a young team that gets better every week.  This sub division could have more tie breakers involved than the AL Wildcard by November.

3. MILFORD VS WINDHAM THIS WEEKEND IS YOOOOOOOOOOOOOUGE
Both teams are tied with Trinity atop their D2 Sub Division (although Trinity beat Milford earlier this year). This could be a quasi-elimination game for both teams, more so for Milford, but Windham will be the place to be on Friday night if you’re in the area

2. WINGLETS, NOTHING BUT WINGLETS
I’ve got the NFL Sunday Ticket, so I’m flipping around like crazy on Sundays (too cheap for the extra $100 bucks to get Red Zone. Plus, I’m a Picasso with the remote, Red Zone is for the lazy). And I saw that stupid SouthWest ad for the “Winglets” about 2165807 times yesterday. Did you know it saves fuel? Not enough to make WiFi less than $8 per device on their flights, though.

1. 603 IS THE PLACE TO BE
I just spent a week in Florida, and all those stories you hear about the state being filled with insane lunatics are ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ACCURATE. As much as I despise winter, I’ll take the people of NH over Florida maniacs 40000% of the time

ALSO RECEIVING VOTES:  Aqib Talib’s ‘I got this’ face, ButtFumble 2: ElectricButtFumbleoo staring Geno Smith, College Football uniforms are getting out of hand, Tom Brady’s hair is awful, Concord putting up a Bill & Ted (“69 dude!”) I still don’t own GTA 5
