Ha, Ha. It's Back! The A2K NFL "Pick-Um" Game!

@realjohnboy,

Hopefully I'll be able to pick up 4 games and win this thing. As most football fans know; week 17 is a difficult to pick as week 1 (see Colts in week 16).

Regarding the battle for the title between McGentrix and Spendius...
We have never had anything like this (an allegation of unsportsmanlike behavior) come up before in the 6 years of this game. But there are more than 4 times as many players then in year 1 and this year's race is so, so close.
I have no intention of trying to write a rule regarding who must pick 1st. I leave it up to McGentrix and Spendius to work it out.
I can live with the idea of one or both of them pming me with their picks. I will acknowledge here that I have gotten the pick(s). Changes can be made (due to weather, injuries or anything else). Final picks will be posted on Sunday around 10 am ET. Not 1 pm kick-off time.

There, these are my picks... or are they? maybe I sent my real picks to RJB and these are merely a ruse...or maybe not...

I do, however, reserve the right to change these picks right up until 12:59pm Sunday.

@McGentrix,

It won't do Mac. You obviously don't really understand sporting behaviour. When winning becomes more important that natural justice you have lost it.

You might end up in a situation where the late game on Sunday is one you change your pick on not because of your judgment of the teams but on where you are in the standings. Then it isn't a "Pick-Um" game.

I would like to know whether you revised your picks in week 15 after the result of the Titans game which brought you level with me and thus after this game had started. I think picks at the time of the first game's kick-offs are the only valid ones.

Do you take a peek at your opponent's hand before betting at poker?

The picks up above are meaningless. Just empty words.

I am truly sorry you feel this way about a simple game. I have revised my picks a single time, yet you feel cheated somehow. Every week, week in and week out I have been one of the first to post my picks. You have seen every post I have made regarding these games right here on this thread. Look back at week 15, do you see any posts from me revising my picks?

I changed my picks last week based on whom I thought would win, not based on what you, or anyone else posted, just as I have all season. I think that you are doing a bit of projecting and feel guilty about it.

Perhaps that is because there hasn't been an incident of unsporting and ungentlewomanly behavior in the 6 years.

I suggest that the revision rule is cancelled. The first picks are the picks. Anybody who wishes to take account of the weather, injuries or anything else can pick as late as they like.

Look E. The football is played in the same spirit Mac and myself are playing this. If you think that's freaky you really shouldn't be on the thread at all. You should be darning some socks or dusting.

Ooh. Limey arse. Knitting and darning. Cheating. This is beginning to more resemble the smackdown crap than football.
