@Foxfyre,
And Austin scores for Dallas! And he's on my FB team. And I played him today. Yay!

The early games are done. McGentrix and Osso rock. Each only got the Ravens game wrong. A bunch of folks have 2 or 3 wrong. And then, in alphabetical order, Alex and Wandeljw with 4.

@realjohnboy,

Which brings me to Panzade and Spendius. They agree with the majority - and each other - on all 16 games.
That strikes me as suspicious. First of all, they are in adjoining columns on my scorecard. Coincidence that they would have the same picks? Secondly, most players post picks in the order I list the games. But not those two! They make their selections in an entirely different order. That is fine but suggests to me that they are NOT ... JUST ... GUESSING.


What's that load of BS supposed to mean? What's the point of guessing anyway. That would put me on 0.50 after 16 weeks in all probability. Of course I'm not guessing. I have made 7 or 8 picks by Tuesday. The order I use is mainly due to the NFL fixture site. My doubtfuls come last.

I never look at anybody else's picks. I haven't a clue what panzade has done or is doing or will do. I have no motive.

I am chilled. It's you who got feverish Johnnie. Are you a traffic warden?

@spendius,
Eventually, Spendius, you will come to appreciate - or totally hate - my sense of humor (or is it humour?)
Which is why I have repeatedly invited others to take over running this. But no one (other than JPB a couple of years ago) will take the bait.

@realjohnboy,
I love your sense of humor or humour, RJB and usually Spendi also has a pretty good sense of humor. He may be teasing here, but if he missed your sense of humor or mis-interpreted the compliment you extended to him and Panzade, I'm sure he'll rethink it.

@Foxfyre,
We're all too quirky to be cheaters - but especially Spendi and Panz wouldn't. It was clear to me and probably all of us that Johnboy was joking.

@Foxfyre,
I didn't miss it Foxy. I milked it. I learned how to milk early in life.

I'm only the lonely Cleveland voter. I may give in and change my mind in the morning, but I'll probably go with it. They'll likely lose, but maybe it'll presage a change.



Well, I do look at how others pick - but I never have switched because of that.
Yet.

Why is it that whenever I pick SF, they lose?

Might as well pick your nose as to pick SF.

@realjohnboy,
To avoid that Johnnie you should toss a coin in future for any games SF are in. That way you'll only be wrong half the time on average.

@realjohnboy,
That has mostly been the way of it for me; I noticed that last year too. Not always though, so I'll keep trying.
I'm sort of glad for Atlanta, but figure the bay city has a gloomy locker room. Or, two gloomy locker rooms, given Oakland.

Did I ever mention I'm not fond of Al? I'm an old Marcus Allen fan and I occasionally hold grudges.

Wow! I have Fox, Osso, Cowdoc, JPB and Rhyss with just 3 mis-picks. A bunch of folks with 4. Spendius and Panzade have 5 wrong. Others also have 5 wrong. And then there are folks with 6, 7, and even 8. But I did want to note that Spendius has 5 wrong.

Fox and JPB have the Titans tonight. Osso, Cowdoc and Rhyss are betting on the Colts.

Congratulations to Oss0, Cowdoc and Rhyss for getting to the week's final game with records of 12-3. Cowdoc has Miami winning tonight while Osso thinks it will end 24-23 NYJ and Rhyss says 31-24 Jets.
Osso won Week #2. It would be amazing is she won again!
