Week 3 is here! This is when CPL Pick’Em gets good. We have more CPL vs CPL action, we’re starting to figure out who’s good and who’s rebuilding, all in all it is a good week for some hot and steamy CPL action.

Dyett vs Butler
Dyett is back baby! Having a butler wait on you when you’re on a diet seems like a waste but this Dyett, is going to eat good tonight, or Friday or maybe Saturday?
Dyett by 14

Catalyst Maria vs Fenger
After the week 1 debacle, I picked against Fenger last week and shocking Fenger won, so maybe that is the secret to Finger success. Don’t know much about Catalyst but I do love Santana's version of Maria.
Give me Maria by 3(go Fingers)

Noble Munchin vs Noble Bulls
I hope this is a 4:15 Thursday kick at Rockne or a 9:00 AM Saturday tilt at Lane. It’s just the way the Nobles play best. Can’t give you much on Munchin but let me tell you the Bulls are the toast of the Nobles.
Bulls by running clock.

Prosser vs Whitney Young
Last year this game would have been must watch. Definitely would have made the trip out to catch this game. But Bland left on the midnight train to Georgia so now this game is all Dolphins.
Dolphins by 35

Michelle Clark vs North Lawndale
The North Lawndale Phoenix are rising! But Michelle is led by Percy and the beacons of light. This is such a hard decision and should be a great game, definitely one of the top 5 CPL games of the week.
Michelle by 6

Lake View vs Julian
Edgy was talking about 0-2 teams that could still make some noise on Twitter. In the comments Lake View said they could be one of those teams. If there’s one thing I love it is a confident team! And how can you root against a team with two sets of Collins triplets.
Lake View by 7

Phoenix vs Amundsen
Still trying to figure out Amundsen. They had a big week 1 win over Round Lake, but Round Lakes best coach, coaches Freshman. The Phoenix are always rising so I want to go Phoenix but that Amundsen week 1 win is really throwing me off.
Amundsen by 12

Senn vs Harlan
There are a few guarantees I have learned; you don’t tug on Superman cape, you don’t spit into the wind, you don’t pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger and you don’t mess around with Jim, you also always pick Senn!
DAWGZZZZZZZZ by 22

Curie vs Westinghouse
This is another game I’m interested in. The Condors opened with two tough games in Fenwick and Naz and fell in both. Can the Condors LaCover or was the LaLoss of LaRay to much? Westinghouse has cool jerseys, I Love their all yellow look. So I think the results will come down to the LaJerseys.
Westinghouse goes all yellow, give me Westinghouse by 6
Westinghouse does anything other than all yellow, give me Madam Curie and the LaCondors by 27

Perspectives vs Morgan Park
These are two more teams I’m still trying to figure out. Perspectives lost Godzilla and some others, but they play freshman ball so they’re able to develop their team a little better than most. Chris James is trying to bring that HeroH swag the Mustangs. This is an interesting matchup that I can’t wait to get some updates on.

Talking to this guy in the bar about picking games. He asked me who I liked in the NFL Thursday night game. I laughed in his face. Thursday night NFL? By the time that game starts on a Thursday, 2 CPL games are in the books! 4:15 pm start Baby!!!!!

Let's get to the picks!

Dyett vs Butler
I know a guy that can't spell. 0 chance he wouldn't misspell D I E T and write D Y E T T. Come to think of it, did the school spell it right? Can't take a school that can't spell. Pick Butler

Fenger
Picking against Fenger goes against everything I believe in. They are true kings of CPL Pick 'em. Greatest school name. Greatest team name. Not sure where I am going with this, but going forward I am not even going to acknowledge the other team when picking the Fingers.

Noble Munchin vs Noble Bulls
So I did some research and this Bulls team actually has ties to the Chicago Bulls. No kidding. This is areal thing. If MJ was still on the team, I'd go Bulls. With this current bunch of clowns, Munchin all the way.

Prosser vs Whitney Young
Speaking of basketball, if this was a hs basketball game, I take WY in a rout. But this is football, and Whitney Young quit playing football two years ago. I hate quitters. Take Prosser.

Michelle Clark vs North LawnDale
Dale was that character in King of the Hill that was always smoking cigarettes and wearing sunglasses, right? Him and his buddies were always obsessing over their lawns as well. Michelle brings Dale and the boys lemonade while the Dales smoke the competition...

Lake View vs Julian
Doing my research this week I see Lake View doesn't actually have a lake view. False Advertising. Can't trust a school that doesn't know where it is really located. Julian with a big W

Phoenix vs Amundsen
I am on board with Amundsen changing its name To Emersen. That way I could write things like, "Emersen nice players!" or "Emerson nice uniforms!" Get on that CPS. Until that happens, take the Phoenix

Senn
See the Fenger pick. DAWGS!!

Curie vs Westinghouse
So I had Indian food last night and it was loaded with Curry. Normally, I love Indian food. Currently, my stomach is wishing I would have stuck with wings. No chance I can pick Curry. Take it to the House.

Perspectives vs Morgan Park
More research (think these CPS games are just picked willy nilly?) tells me that Perspectives is a 4 team co-op. I love a good co-op team, but my co-op teams need hyphens. No hyphen? No chance. Take Morgan Park.

I was feeling a little frisky this morning and wanted to bring some heat to this week's picks so I went and journeyed back through the archives for some inspiration, so here it comes.

No love for the first 3 games in the archives but here's what I got...

Dyett vs Butler - I need to go with my most trusted advisor. He loves them Nobles. Give me the Butler to bring that hot frothy goodness.

Catalyst Maria vs Fenger - No finger pointing in my house, Maria takes it.

Noble Munchin vs Noble Bulls - Munchin? They should totally be nicknamed the Donuts, until then definitely not picking them. Go Bulls!

Now for the massive tally of archive points here, based off of mentions here are the picks.

#1 Michelle Clark vs North Lawndale - Oh the beacon love, it rolled the competetion just like they'll roll Lawndale (doesn't even matter what direction it is)

#2 Phoenix vs Amundsen - Second to the beacon love was only the love for the Phoenix, every other comment was they are rising. Not this week though Amundsen has them.

#3 Senn vs Harlan - DAWGZ were always discussed, and while Harlan sounds like a good name for a dog, it's just not their week.

#4 Prosser vs Whitney Young - Tons of coverage and love for the Dolphins throughout the years, not so much for Prosser, although their neighbor the Jokers were well represented, but no Foreman this week. Take the Dolphins

#5 Lake View vs Julian - Posts were all about finding a new coach at LV, well they got their guy I guess. He hasn't scored in two weeks but sure loves that new offense of his on the Twitter. Let's say they finally break through.

#6 Perspectives vs Morgan Park - If this were the good ol days Morgan Park would be at the top of this list, but this Morgan Park is definitely not what the archives had. That being said they're still better than Perspectives. I got MP.

#7 Curie vs Westinghouse - This is the game that really makes dig deep into the archives, oh the comments section would be alive if we had the last two versions of LaCurie. But alas, can't live in the past. I'll take Westinghouse as I come back to reality.

My oh my!

Pardon me for missing the first 2 weeks, I was out at the lake house in Lake Geneva celebrating the kids finally going back to school. Let’s get down to business shall we:

Butler over Dyett. My butler is a hard working man. I really don’t know how he puts up with my wife’s BS, at-least I can buy her a new car and send her off to hot yoga to get away from her. Look for Butler to take out some pent up anger and have an explosive offense over Dyett.

Fenger over Catalyst Maria. Fenger sounds like Fingers. That joke will never get old, unlike me, but that’s what viagra is for. There will not be enough fingers to count how many touchdowns Fenger will put up this weekend.

Bulls over Munchin. The Chicago Bulls were an unbelievable team in the 90s. Jordan will forever be the greatest. Bulls big time over the munchkins.

Whitney Young over Prosser. Can’t believe the Bland train departed for greener pastures. I was all about him last year. Whitney Young has basketball, so theoretically should have decent athletes to play good football.

Michelle Clark over North Lawndale. I passed by Michelle Clark on the 290 when I was heading out west to go to my timeshare in Aspen 2 years ago. Their gym is located on the second floor of their building overlooking the highway. Michelle Clark by 6 points.

Julian over Lake View. I’ve actually been to the Lake View area as a 21 y/o bar hopping quite a few time. As the kids would say, “its lit”. Haha haha. That’s also where I met my first wife. Still hate her to this day and that’s why I’m picking Julian by 12 over LV.

Phoenix over Amundsen. Phoenix is rising! Rising to the top after this win over Amundsen. What is an Amundsen anyways?

Senn over Harlan. “You’ll never leave Harlan alive” by Brad Paisley doesn’t apply to the DAWGZ. One of the view things I know about city football: Doesn’t matter what time they show up or how many kids they have, they will roll off the bus and kick your butt no problem.

Curie over Westinghouse. Not sure why I can’t connect my Apple TV to a Westinghouse TV. Might be a brand for poor people, which I most certainly am not. Look for Curie to take out the trash and through those TVs into the trash where they belong.

Morgan Park over Perspectives. I guess Morgan Park’s HC played at U of I. Those were the best 6.5 years of my life. Thanks to the trust fund I was able to stretch out my undergrad years as much as I could before I came back to the suburbs to take over the family business. Good times. I’ll go with the U of I connection here.

Dyett vs Butler
I’ve never been on a diet and I don’t plan on it now. I can’t even spell diet. Maybe dyett is right. Who knows. Whoever named this team must really like taking care of their girl friends dog. I’ll take the Butler, Jimmy’s by 21.

Catalyst Maria vs Fenger
I used to biblically know a lady named Maria. Based on my experience, I’ll take the fenger fingers by 69.

Noble Munchin vs Noble Bulls
The noble munchkins take the noble bulls to the back of the donut shop and they meet the whole lollipop guild in a 24-6 beatdown.

Prosser vs Whitney Young
It can definitely be said that Prosser is now bland without Bland. Like a hamburger with nothing on it. Dolphins use ecko lokashon so I’ll take Whitney by 20.

Michelle Clark vs North Lawndale
People keep talking about this beacon at Clark. Wel call me a moth because I’m drawn to it! Clark by 14

Lake View vs Julian
I don’t understand the hype behind lake view. They haven’t show any indication they can beat anyone yet, people taking them are being contradictory just for the sake of it. I once knew a guy named Julian. He’s in the pen for killing a man. I’ll take Julian to murder lake view, 34-6.

Phoenix vs Amundsen
There is no fire in the land of the Vikings for which the Phoenix to rise!


Senn vs Harlan
Dawgs? Dawgz! DAWWWGGGZZZ!!!! By 14

Curie vs Westinghouse
Curie was mediocre with LaRay. He’s not an excellent coach but I’m sure he’s better than Grossy or whomever. I’ll take Westinghouse by 24.

Perspectives vs Morgan Park
No Mo MoPo in my pickem. Perspectives by 3.
