@realjohnboy,
I'm coasting home and dry. On a tight rein.
We are off and running! Final week. There will be a big party here tomorrow with Ritz crackers, Cheez-whiz and Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. Wear your party hats.
The 8 early games are over. Region gets a nod for his pick of Oakland over KC.
A bunch of us are 6-2, suffering from the losses by KC and New Orleans.
Meanwhile, over on the A2K Fantasy Football thing, I am thinking about clearing a space on my virtual mantle for a virtual trophy...unless the wheels come off my wagon.
Yeh, you are doing very well there.
I was worried, oh, never mind.
I have Ragman at 13-2 and picking St Louis tonight. Osso and Panzade are 12-3 and also have the Cardinals.
@realjohnboy,
Also? You mean they picked the Rams (not the Cards)? Cards moved from St. Luigi a few yrs back.
@Ragman,
Whatever. St Louis. I really don't follow football very closely.
@realjohnboy,
hahaha. Just ribbing 'ya.

I knew Tampa was trouble.
Gnaws my paw.
@Ragman,
I bet Dallas and still lost. It was by 3 or more. I never figured Eagles would make it close.
Oh well. Cmon playoffs
@farmerman,
I really had to laugh as I watched the results of that one. Tip of my hat!
@Ragman,
Thats how the mob got its way, with the spread.

I really didn't have any more space on my virtual mantle anyway.
@Ticomaya,
Is he (virtual) Mickey's brother?

Damn, and here I am wearing the Cheez-whiz and whizzing in my hat............
Rams lose, well - next year, next year.
What was all that passing the ball from man to man behind the line of scrimmage at the end of the Lions game?
@spendius,
Flash Rugby -- it's a fad.
WEEK #17...
...and we had one of our best outings of the season. We as a group finished with a success rate of 64.4%, despite getting burnt in a few games. For the season we picked 6,231 games and got 60.7% correct. It should be noted that stat was probably influenced by bias on the part of some players. Alex, for example, always chose Detroit while George and often Rhys couldn't bring themselves to pick the New York teams.
Ragman ended strongly, going 13-3 to take the week. Congratulations!
Osso and Panzade finished at 12-4. In a group at 11-5 were Region, Spendius, McGentrix, LiontamerX, Cowdoc, Lmur and BillW. JohnBoy, EhBeth, Mysteryman, Jespah, AndyClubber, Miz Cowdoc and Fbeazer went 10-6. Tico, Edgar, Rhys, CoastalRat and Alex closed out the week at 9-7 while George brought up the rear at 7-9. JPB was in charge of finishing off the eggnog. She did not play.
The best ESPN expert went 12-4 while the worst was 10-6.
Hats off to all of our weekly winners: Ragman (week #1), Edgar, Ragman, JPB, LiontamerX, Spendius, Mysteryman, Alex, Spendius, LiontamerX, Region, Osso, Region, CoastalRat, Mysteryman, Miz Cowdoc and Ragman (week #17).

HA! I wish. It's been an insanely busy week. I won't bore you with the details. I hope to be back for the playoffs.
