@mysteryman,
I worry for his well being if Tomlinson stays out. I like Sproles, had him last year for a while.
@ossobuco,
I watched Eagles v Saints. How do you watch that stuff?
@spendius,
Me, I watch all the games on CBS sports "game tracker". (for esample,
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/gamecenter/live/NFL_20090920_BAL@SD)
Go to CBS Sports, then NFL, then Scoreboard - that has all the games listed and keeps up with scores. To see more, click on Game Tracker under whatever game may interest you.
The Baltimore and San Diego game just finished, whew-eee. The NO game was something of a blow out, and those can be boring.
14 games done with. With 10 correct picks are Wandeljw, Tico, El Stud, Osso and Clubber.
@realjohnboy,
Chicago winning really messed up a lot of peoples picks.

Chicago helped me tie with El Stud.
@wandeljw,
I monitored a few games on the CBS game tracking website and my admittedly unscientific impression was that a lot of teams are in deep doo doo at this point.
The Cowboys-Giants game is developing unplesastly to me..
@ossobuco,
The Giants ended up winning. I think Osso is the only one with 11 correct picks. (Most of us picked Dallas.)
Osso and Clubber each have 11 winning picks. Both have Indy tonight, as do Wandeljw, Tico and Elstud. But they only have 10 wins. Osso and Clubber will tie at 12-4 or 11-5. The 1st tiebreaker is, I believe, the player closer to the winning team's points scored. Osso sees the final score as 27-10 while Clubber has it as being 30-10. 27 + 30 = 57/2 = 28.5. If the winning team scores 28 or less, Osso wins. 29 or more gives the week to Clubber.
I take that back. Tico and McGentrix also have 10 wins before tonight. And RH has Miami! A Miami win would leave him, along with Osso and Clubber at 11-5. That would put 3 players in the tiebreaker. RH has the score as being 19-6 tonight. Osso has it as 28-24 (correction) and Clubber sees 30-10.
If the winning team scores 23 or less RH wins. Between 24 and 28, Osso wins. 30 or gives it to Clubber. Exactly 29 would force us into a 2nd tiebreaker between Osso and Clubber.
I think I got this straight!
@realjohnboy,
You mentioned my name (twice) and I thought I had a chance (which may well have been my first).
More importantly, does that mean I beat Spendi?
@Ticomaya,
You are at 10-5 and have Indy. Spendius is at 8-7 and has Indy.
@realjohnboy,
I believe i had the fins at 19 ~ 16 rjb.
a blowout would be lovely, but i will settle for a win...
@realjohnboy,
I meant 19-16. Thanks for catching it. It is correct on my scoresheet.
Why don't NFL groundsmen take more pride in their grass? That match I watched had a field that looked like a cropped cow pasture. They mow pretty patterns here. I remember one that mesmerised the away team.
I think NFL is more about merchandising than sport. Some of the guys I saw would have a job running out of a house on fire from what I could see.

Oh Spendi, and you haven't yet watched real football (that is, "soccer") games in the US, played in baseball fields, where the grass totally dissappears in a... diamondlike pattern.
10-10, oh cool..
but wait, I could lose.
kinda a low scoring game, huh...
(playin' on a baseball field can do that to ya.)
