Clarification for Omablah


Despite 8 years of successfully navigating the Super Bowl picks procedure, Omablah still is twisted into confusion by the English language. In an attempt to placate him, I will try to make the picks procedure clearer.

1. Rams or Patriots. While this seems clear to all most of us, what this means is do you think the Rams or the Pats will win?

2. "Most Rushing Yards" I can see how this would confuse Omablah because he is an idiot. In his fevered brain, he stumbles on "Most rushing years for a team or against a team." One can see how the perpetual conspiracy theorist would see this a a trap. It means, "The team with the most rushing yards for them."

3. "Most Passing Yards." Ditto. The team with the most passing yards for them not against them.

4. "Most Completions." This means the team with the most passing completions, not as Omablah reasons to mean the most passing completions against them.

5. "Most Penalty Yards Committed." This means the team with the most penalty yards assessed against them, not for them. Penalty yards for a team isn't even a statistic.

6. "Most Sacks by the Defense." This means which team will have the most sacks attributed to their defense, not which team gave up the most sacks.

7."Most Rushing TD's.'  This question was very poorly stated. I can see how Omablah would confuse this into thinking it meant most rushing tds against a team. Wait, no I can't!

8. "Most Passing TD's." Perhaps this is overly technical for Omablah. I should have explained to him what a TD is. But whatever it is, it is obvious that it means the team who had the most TD's in the game.

The entire league is holding its collective breath waiting to see if Omablah will stumble through the picking procedure without seriously hurting himself. Wait, that should be #9. "Will Omablah hurt himself making his picks!
