It was a depressing week for me personally in the NFL. First, my Saints lost to the winless St. Louis Rams in a disappointing loss that took me back to the Days of Ditka. Compounding this sadness was sitting through an entire NFL game with Chris Myers and Tim Ryan while watching your team lose to a winless club. Let’s hope this week’s Dickies nominees are enough to lift my spirits…
As to how the Straight Outta Stockton vote works, each week we’ll nominate 15-20 quotes for you to pick the best 10. The winning quote of the week will earn that person 10 points all the way down to 1 point for 10th. Remember, you can vote for your favorite five quotes. Here are your Week 8 nominees…
