Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Such has been the fate of our dear Rock throughout the season. But just went it look like the Steelers were ready to swoop in on Monday night and ruin his big day, the Bengals held on to cover on Monday night allowing Rock to nose out Special K. For once, the cake was not left out in the rain; Rock has prevailed with his first weekly win.
Ah but the real credit lies in Rock’s gutty pick of the Giants to cover against the Raiders despite New York’s extreme coaching turmoil and the benching of franchise QB Eli Manning for journeyman Geno Smith. Since we could not find any autographed photos of Geno in a Giant uniform, we must settle for this giant 9 foot inflatable New York Giants snowman suitable for Rock and Maryann’s Basking Ridge front yard environs. Sure to be both a big hit and get the NJ Pennella clan booted out of their local HOA, the inflatable can be had on the Home Shopping Network for a mere $149.95 and is available for FlexPay.
With his big week, Rock has moved within striking distance of Zane, while C&C have faded to fourth, though safely clear of the sublime suckage that is Mike this season.
