Here are this week’s finalists:  

Really? Coach Belichick told me “NSA” stood for “Never Say Anything!”
My ego feels a little deflated too…
No, no, look over THERE! That’s Patriot, not Patriots!
We are not cheaters. It’s just that, being from New England, we favor a liberal interpretation of the rules.
I cannot answer any more questions, due to national security.  

The cartoon with the winning caption will appear on this blog on May 17 and in the following print edition of Roll Call. The contest winner will receive a signed color print of his or her Capitol Quip cartoon from the cartoonist, R.J. Matson.
