At what point does this concession cease to operate Johnnie?

The Rules Committee will make that decision at a time deemed appropriate.

I see that Cyclo is now playing. He mentioned to me in an email that he has tended in the past to lose interest.

I've already lost interest. But I'll try to keep going.

@Cycloptichorn,

cyclo: hang in there if you can with this. I'll bet soon you'll get into it more. I just never got into fantasy football, but this is fun for me. Within the first few weeks there's a challenge ...as the drama of games, the rash of injuries to key players and the coming together (or falling apart) of teams happens. It's fun being lulled into the false belief that you can predict the outcomes of such an impossible set of variables and that you're not just lucky as hell.

Last time I did pretty well by just copying your picks, and changing one or two here or there.

@Cycloptichorn,

Duly noted. Glad to be of service to you. Surprised

@Cycloptichorn,

Yeah Cyclo--keep going. I like the idea that a stupid Limey can demonstrate that what you know about your national sport is likely to be synergetic with what you know about any other national issues.

"Losing interest" is only a cliched euphemism for having the collywobbles about not being able to shine in No Sophistry (spin) Zones. Everybody knows a simple thing like that.

Ouch! Worse then being described as living in an ivory tower in the liberal University of California-Berkeley is the allegation that Cyclo has "collywobbles."

@realjohnboy,

Better that than to be a useless drunk, like some here.

@Ragman,

Excellent. 7 players have picked so far. I need to start studying...or tossing darts.
Ehbeth used to choose, as I recall, on which QB had the cuter butt. I am not making that up.

There will be more than a couple of games separating me from ragman this time around.

You and Ragman differ on 4 games, Edgar. You and Jespah differ on 7!

@edgarblythe,

I may not be done with my picks because I'm traveling to upstate NY to party hardy to celebrate my 60th birthday. So I've passed in my picks early. If I get a chance to log on while I'm away, I might make a change or two by Saturday.

This is going to be a total thrill...as friends from Boston will travel to Albany NY ...some friends from 40 yrs back at college will come out. U gotta love Facebook.

@realjohnboy,

I'll be getting my picks in soon, rjb. I'm a bit busy with the cow work that piled up while I was gone. Tired as hell, but it's really good to be back where temps are in the seventies and humidity in the teens. Both were in the nineties in Shanghai. I walked in the rain in Suzhow and wasn't a damned bit wetter than I was before or after. More later....off to the corrals.
