The Contest, Week 2 (NFL Week 11)

So as we head to the big part of Week 11, Rich holds a slight lead over Matt and Rye for first place, but it’s way early to worry about that. So far I have gone 11-4 (Thank you Tim Tebow and the Miracles) while both Rye and Matt are 10-5.

Speaking of Eagle One, our fearless public servant had himself quite the night this week. While patrolling Route 3 late at night he was called to the scene of an accident, a common occurrence in his line of work unfortunately. He believed that there was a fatality when he arrived on the scene, but thankfully not of the human persuasion.

A motorist had struck a deer. After attending tot he person behind the wheel, shaken but otherwise okay, he went to the road to check on the animal, which showed no signs of life. Now had my brother been there, he probably would have been thinking about how to strap that buck to front of his truck to get it home to make some jerky. Eagle One, though, wanted to clear the highway.

He circled it quickly, and then briefly looked away. All of a sudden Bambi opened its eyes and kicked him lightly. Needless to say EO was caught off guard. According to him he nearly had to call in a “code brown” over the radio. I’ll leave it to your imagination to figure that one out.

Since Matt had such a scary week, I’m letting him do the analysis.
