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. POP THE CHAMPAGNE, ’72 DOLPHINS
That’s right, “Two Mannings One Cup” went down in defeat at the hands of Dave Haley’s squad (Turd Ferguson) over the weekend. Of all the people to lose to. We’re not going to make excuses, we got outplayed out there, injuries to both James Jones AND Randall Cobb were tough to stomach, but we’re going to get refocused for next week. Stupid Haley….

9. D2 BETTER BE PREPARED TO DEAL WITH TREVOR MARTIN FOR A WHILE
If you just saw the final score of the Portsmouth v Saint Thomas game, you might’ve overlooked a good performance from STA’s Trevor Martin – last year I saw the kid lead the Saints to a game winning drive, converting two 4th downs on the road in Hanover, in a 2 minute drill, WITH A PLAYOFF SPOT ON THE LINE, in the 4th quarter,AS A FRESHMAN. And he’s gotten better.  Heads up D2.

8. KEENE MIGHT GET HOSED
The 3 Division deal seems to be working better than anyone expected (Aside from Roger Brown, who is the 3 Division John The Baptist), but the whole sub-division/conference (I like Sub-division better) deal might throw a monkey wrench into the works – Keene has lost just two games, by a combined 11 points, and it’s very possible they’ll be sitting at home come playoff time, since only two teams advance from each sub-division. That needs some work from the NHIAA in the off season

7. MONADNOCK NOT BEING IN THE POWER POLL IS WHY MY POWER POLL IS BETTER
The Huskies won the D5 title last year, and they did it with stifling defense, and the intestinal fortitude to travel 2.5 hours to Somersworth and win in a hostile environment.  This year they’ve score 106 points in three road games, and are 6-0. They’ll have to beat Alabama and the Denver Broncos in back to back weeks to show up on the NH Top 10 though.

6. TOM BRADY’S SWEATER
If you throw 5 picks and stink up the place, it’s a doily. When you’re Tom Brady, it’s a FASHION STATEMENT.  (If you haven’t seen it,  http://cdn.ksk.uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tom-brady-sweater-600x447.jpg )

5. PHILLY WINS THE MRSA BOWL
I had a Staph infection last year, and it was the within the top 10 scariest things I’ve ever experienced (Dating the girl with 75% of her body tattooed was another, but that’s a different story).  MRSA is a staph infection with a lousy attitude that is resistant to anti-biotics. I can’t believe the NFL allowed them to play that game. The only possible explanation is that Tampa is the, ahem “Gentleman’s Club” capital of America, and if there was ever a place to find the right antibiotic, this was it.

4. IT’S A DIFFERENT CLIPPPER TEAM
Week 1 Portsmouth got smoked by Trinity at home, but they haven’t lost since, and took over 1st place with a  49-28 win over previously unbeaten Saint Thomas (Portsmouth holds the tie breaker over both STA and MV now, who have identical 5-1 records). With Pat Glynn anchoring the line (he missed the first two games) and a defense that is rounding into form, PHS should be in the mix come mid-November.

3. CONCORD CONTINUES TO ROLL
I’m not going to give 100% of the credit to taping an interview with me for this site at the Queen City Jamboree for the success for the Crimson Tide, to give less than 50% of the credit to me is borderline disrespectful. Huge game with Bedford this weekend for Concord.

2. SAD ROB RYAN
I posted a picture of Rob Ryan looking like he just found out his daughter was texting with Anthony Weiner about 3 minutes after the Pats finished off the Saints, and it had about 20 retweets in no time. Rob just earned himself All-Time Meme status. Brady happens, bro.

1. BIG. F’N. PAPI. 
10 Years ago I saw David Ortiz muscle an Esteban Loaiza fastball into center to score Johnny Damon in 14th inning of Game 5 of the ALCS, from the Fenway Park bleachers. 10 years later and he’s still doing it. I get that clutch hitting is something that poo-poo’d by the sabermetric community, but Ortiz makes you re-think stuff like that.
