NFL 2007/8 A2K Road to Phoenix-The Duel In the Desert

Yikes, Arizona tied...

(my c'mon SD was too late, misread the data, schniff)

Adding panzade's late choice, there seems to be some good crystal ball work going on here.

I think I am 7-2 through the early games. Philly was a big surprise.

Philly is always a big surprise to me, win or lose.

7-2, good going! My nose is above water, but not by much.

If it might be of help, Osso, there periodically appears an ad on A2K: Ask One Free Question. Call 1-800-Psychic. Credit cards only.

I'm a psychological mess, of course. I'm glad Arizona got so close. I'm glad Houston got close, wouldn't have minded if they'd won.

What am I looking for, parity? Nah, but I'm intrigued by the non-obvious.

SF could have used that defensive player, name I don't remember, who was injured...

Hah, our buddy is fooling with a2k at the moment...

We saw "Across The Universe" based on the Beatles' music. It was really well done; creatively done and adding a story to boot. I really enjoyed it, and give it a thumb's up!

Yes, you are, rjb. Along with CowDoc, fbaezer, JPB, and lmur. RP, Pantalones, and panzade finished the early games at 8-1. jes, with two early wins seems to have her east-west mojo in reverse.

I'll post the week-to-date standings at the end of the late afternoon games.

wow!

hmm. I have met Mr and Mrs Cowdoc. They look normal. But look into their eyes. They are aliens, both of them are aliens. We must banish them from this game. Now. They pose a threat, a real threat, to those of us who are red-blooded real people.

double WoW!

Tico is the lone winning wolf.

For the record, I picked Jacksonville because I didn't believe that Denver could pull three straight games out of their butts. Miz Cowdoc picked them simply because she doesn't like Denver. By the way, rjb, if you had looked closely enough into our eyes, you would know that we come from France.....we come from France..............we come from France............we come from France...................................................

This week's standing after the daytime game:

CowDoc 10
panzade 10
JPB 9
Pantalones 9
Region Philbis 9
fbaezer 9

I'll do the machinations and manipulations of the numerous winning possibilities after tonight's game, but for now... here's the pick for tonight's game (Mr B is there cheering on his beloved Bears - that usually brings good karma to the Bears).

JPB
Mrs CowDoc
Pantalones
Region Philbis
edgarblythe
lmur
wandeljw

Dallas
Cycloptichorn
George
LionTamerX
Ragman
Ticomaya
cicerone imposter
ehbeth
fbaezer
jespah
jpinMilwaukee
ossobuco
panzade
realjohnboy

so much for predictions, huh?

So, am I correct (stat keeper) in saying that game 3 is the great leveller...tight group statistically. Now the fun begins

Rolls over, weeps, pops up, looks to the future...

I noticed the French accent, which seemed kind of strange if yall are really from Idaho. Really from Idaho? My grandmother spoke only German, but once in awhile she would speak a phrase or two of English, one of which is appropriate for me here: I think I will go eat worms.

Ragman and osso... this is where the additional stat of week-to-week place standings and variations comes into play. We may well end up looking at that overall placement as equally valuable as the seasonal win-loss ratio.



Go Bears!!!!










I don't like the Bears much, but as a lifelong Giants fan, I HATE the Cowboys.
