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

RP will not be fully focused on this sport until after the baseball playoffs, so expect his numbers to be lacking luster for the next 3 weeks...

We got our priorities, yanno.

The Bears and the Giants were both eligible to win because I didn't pick them.

Actually, I think jespah should get some sort of prize for most impressive longshot pick.

That's what I call a couple with their hearts at the right place!























(Oh, and I did almost as bad as RP for the same reason)

Thank you re the long shot. I think.

Next week's selection method will get suddenly very odder. Well, odder than usual. Stay tuned.

Looks like George was right...

Oh, wow, 2 seconds, and a field goal. Smiles.

Very impressive, wandel! 12 wins in a 14 game week with the only two losses being Chicago and San Diego. The weekly champion list is now Ragman, lmur, fbaezer, CowDoc, and wandeljw. Who's it going to be next week?

Can anyone play with you guys, or is this a private venture? I really enjoy beating Tico at every opportunity. (everyone has to be good at something)

Yes. It'll bear thinking about, not that it'll do me any good. At quick glance, there are a lot of 'I dunno' choices.

It's open to everyone, Rockhead. I probably won't average you into the overall stats until you've played for a few weeks but you're welcome to begin anytime. I tally the weekly standings for anyone who has played that week.

And one of these days you might figure out what that is.
