PS Tico, didja mean to write down baseball team names?

I think Tico is trying to test my knowledge of sports. S'ok, I've got baseball covered. I'm hosed if he switches to soccer teams.

I'm taking the team logos with me to an out-of-office meeting. There's going to be a fair bit of hang-time while the lawyers posture. I'll work on my strategy then.

The Texans have beaten the Colts before, but Andre Johnson will sit this one out. That's my main reason for choosing the Colts this week.

Mine too.

But who knows.

Almost went with "Zephyrs" for my last pick.

Let's see how picking while angry works out.

Toes, huh? Tico, the Giants aren't playing the Indians this weekend.

Besides, you've already picked them to lose to the Pirates. Wanna try again on this one?

<ducks out of harms way...>

So far in week 3 --

We have 15 players posting picks. There is one unanimous choice (Denver over Jacksonville) and New England would have been unanimous if they were west of Buffalo. The closest games we have are San Diego (6) at Green Bay (9) and Cincinnati (6) at Seattle (9). Lots of noise around the rest of the games but most of us (13) are picking Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Washington over Philadelphia, San Francisco, and the Giants, respectively.
