October 29, 2011

After five consecutive losing days and a 0-4-1 record over our last five Super Plays, The Crew abruptly resigned Monday morning en masse. The Joe Berger Inc. Board of Directors accepted their resignation letter with regret:

We are formally notifying you that we'll be tendering our resignation from Joe Berger Incorporated effective immediately. We never imagined that we would have to leave, but because it's clear our performance is not meeting the high standards The Playhouse has come to represent over the years, we have decided to pursue opportunities elsewhere. If there is anything that we can do to make this transition easier for the company, let us know and we'd be more than willing to help out. We have truly enjoyed our work here and would like to thank you for the opportunity that you have given us.



Sincerely,


The Crew


Despite anything you may have read on TMZ or any of the social media sites, the parting was amicable. And while The Crew had been struggling to find their footing as of late, the board was not mulling personnel changes. To have them leave in the middle of the season is heartbreaking to all of us who call The Playhouse home. They will be missed. We will, however, persevere and a new Crew will be hired and groomed as soon as possible.


A few thoughts from the week...

Teddy Bruschi is even more of a douche than we thought. A couple months ago Bruschi ripped Ocho Cinco for taking to Twitter to express awe about Tom Brady and the New England offense. Bruschi intimated it wasn't exemplary of the so-called 'Patriot Way.' Bruschi's silence this week, therefore, was deafening after photos surfaced on the web of a shirtless Rob Gronkowski with porn star BiBi Jones, who was wearing his jersey. Look, if we were single, rich and good looking, we'd hang with her, too. But we certainly wouldn't allow her to take pictures of it and then post them on the web. We're sure owner Bob Kraft, someone who we'd imagine would like to stay in the good graces of New England-area families considering he charges an average of $192 a f@#king ticket, thought that was wonderful. We're also sure Bill Belichick enjoyed answering questions about it...

If you don't get Joe Buck, you don't get it. Dude channeling his father at the end of Game 6 of the World Series was fantastic...

Super Play of the Day

In light of The Crew's departure we have turned to a trusted source for this week's plays, Gregory L. Enholm, PGA professional, Massachusetts native and exceptional wedding guest, who once asked a woman he had never met 'Hey, you're hot, where do work,' while standing in her kitchen cooking eggs and wearing just boxers.

Here they are unedited (We'll consider the 'Five Chowder Bowl Play' as our Super Play):

Five Chowder Bowl Play

There is a saying in Vegas, wiseguys bet with the trends and The Crew goes against them. Therefore, this week is a no brainer. We are taking Andrew Luck and the Stanford Cardinals, who are 7-0 ATS this year.

Stanford -7

Two Chowder Bowl Plays (Other picks)

Penn St/Illionis Over 38.5
Texas Longhorns -27.5
