We should all be as optimistic or as delusional as Detroit Lions (1-5) linebacker Julian Peterson:
"We still got a chance to get into the playoffs. Who's to say you can't run 9 or 10 games off in a row?"
WEEK #7 STANDINGS
1) McGentrix (74-29 .719) hangs on to (a share of) 1st;
2) Spendius moves up from 2nd for the other share;
3) ElStud (73-30 .709) slips one notch in a tie;
3) Tico stays where he was;
3) Johnboy climbs 4 spots after 4 last week;
6) Osso (72-31 .699) slides by 3 but is only 2 games back;
6) Clubber gains one ;
8) Ehbeth (71-32 .690) has an unusually mediocre week and drops from 3rd;
9) Maporsche (70-33 .680) remains where he was;
9) Ragman does the same;
9) Cowdoc says he can do that too;
12) JPinMilw (57-30 .687) climbs from 14th despite going 8-5;
13) Rhyss (69-34 .670) stumbles from 9th;
14) Region (68-35 .661) moves up from 15th;
14) Liontamerx jumps from 19th;
14) Panzade gains a notch from 15th;
14) Fbaezer matches that;
14) JPB does the same;
14) Fox slumps from 9th;
20) Wandeljw (66-37 .641) loses a spot from 19th;
20) George gains a bit from 21st;
22) Imur (64-39 .622) heads in the wrong direction, but only by 1 position;
23) Mysteryman (63-40 .612) advances from 25th;
24) Miz Cowdoc (62-41 .602) slips from 23rd;
24) Edgar stays right where he was;
24) Jespah moves up 1 from 25th;
27) Alex (60-43 .583) holds on to last.
The best ESPN guy at .699 would be in a tie for 6th. The worst at .622 would tie with Imur for 22nd.

No!!! It can't be! I am tied with George!
Bit of a conservative bias starting to emerge.

Odd ... the pates have two #75 on their roster:

I wager that man could beat you in a 40 meter sprint, Spendi.

I know a guy who is six-four and barely 11 stone.
I'm six-four and 230 (16.5 stone). 11 stone is 155 pounds. Your friend must blow away in a strong wind.

Absolutely it could happen! It was with such hope and confidence that I picked Kansas City this past weekend.
Corrected to put JPinMilw where he belongs:

Well Tico--I'm a shagged out old has-been now so you are no doubt correct but at his age I would have pissed all over him. Over any distance.
And the guy I saw on Sunday was white.
that's gotta be a typo -- two players can not share the same uniform #.
ESPN also has them both wearing #75.
however,
http://www.patriots.com/team/index.cfm?ac=players shows mr bussey wearing #66...
While we're waiting for the picks to roll in...
There's a disparity I noticed today. The NFC has a team that is far and away better than the rest: The Saints.
But the AFC has 4 or 5 teams who could go all the way. Who do you think can make the Super Bowl from the AFC?
Ragman indicated he would again do the schedule for the week. I am sure he will post it in due course.

And to think I was in the top 10 like two weeks ago... this is why I don't gamble!
I have to choose teams since I'm leaving in an hour and still packing. So, expect another osso losing week..
