Week 10 Addendum: Our Tormentor Lives!

Good readers, the illustrious David McLinn--he of the trio of weekly victories--surfaced this evening, preventing him from occupying a place in ignominy for not subjecting to be being interviewed...and here's what he had to say:

CP:
The last time you won, you were 12-1, and the Potato was 6-7. This time, you managed to go 10-4 during a ridiculous week that smacked CP with a 5-9. Why are you mocking us so? Don't you know how hard it is to win even one of these things in a season?
DM:
I am the most dominant player in Football Pool history, what can I say....I just wish I was betting in Vegas to make some real money.

CP:
So why don't you just take over the Couch Potato Report, too?
DM:
No thanks. I'll leave that to you.

CP:
During our last interview, you said your best memory of elementary school was beating up other kids. Is this season starting to remind you of the good old days?
DM:
If I win the whole pool it will. I will give you my $51.00 buy-in, will that make it better?

CP:
Sticking with the flashback theme, last time you told CP that you met your wife-to-be in a bar. Can you give us a bit more color? Where was the bar? What was she wearing? And what, pray tell, did you do to sweep her off her feet in those first moments?
DM:
I met her at Circle Bar in Venice, CA...She picked me up...and I don't quite recall what she was wearing.

CP:
What is your earliest memory of watching an NFL game? (For the Couch Potato, it's the Steel Curtain terrorizing Fran Tarkenton all through Super Bowl IX)
DM:
I would say either OJ on the 405 Freeway in his white Bronco or Michael Irvin getting caught with a hooker in a motel smoking crack...Oh wait...did you say memory of watching an NFL game?

CP:
What snacks do you have within reach while you sit on Sunday afternoons and watch all your winners come through?
DM:
Unfortunately I am in law school so I don't know the last time that I actually watched a game...I am always in the library getting updates on espn.com

CP:
Once you're married, and you get around to the inevitable bathroom remodel, if your wife wants you to come shopping for tile on a Sunday afternoon in November, what will you tell her?
DM:
Well since I am going to be a sports agent, I will probably be sitting in the owner's box on Sunday afternoon with my wife to be.

CP:
What's the worst job you've ever had? Give us the gory details.
DM:
School teacher for kids who just got out of jail...You can put in the details, just imagine the worst.

CP:
You know that commercial where a bunch of female Giants fans are gathering at this woman's apartment to watch the game when one shows up in a Jets jersey and draws the ire of the host? Would dating one of these women be a good thing, or just downright scary?
DM:
I don't think I can take a girlfriend who is a football fanatic because then I would never study because I would be forced to watch games as opposed to hanging out in the wonderful law library.

CP:
If you win again (and note-this is David's 3rd win this season-his first victory came before CP started doing these interviews), tell the faithful readers why in God's name they'd want to be subjected to yet another interview with you?
DM:
Well, I will win again, and because I think I am funny.
