@mysteryman,

Yea, they will either start Charlie Batch or a rookie.
Neither one is a good choice,IMHO.
2nd year man Dennis Dixon gets the nod, apparently due to strong showing in exhibition...

@Region Philbis,
I heard that today on ESPN radio.
The reason given by ESPN is that if Dixon screws up real bad, they can go to Batch as an experienced QB to try and salvage something.

But if Batch were to start and screw up, a 2nd year QB doesnt have the experience to salvage the game.

I dont know that I agree with that train of thought, but it does make some sense.

Welcome, Coastal Rat. We look forward to your wisdom here.
Osso's changes are duly noted.
I got an email from Rhys but he only picked in the first game. I'll have to track him down.

@realjohnboy,
Glad to see Coastal Rat...
I'm a little confused on what team he thinks will win in the last game.

@Ragman,
I did pick San Diego. Not sure why the confusion. I wasn't even clowning around or anything. Seriously. I wasn't. Really. lol

Yeah, I'm a handsome devil, ain't I? I've been told it is my moderate use of makeup that does the trick.

Rhys emailed me his picks. He, George's son, is not on A2K. He knows football, methinks. He always includes a phrase or two about what influenced his choices, but I was asked last year to not quote him here.
Rhys - Week #1:
Minnesota
Cleveland
Buffalo
New England
Carolina
Chicago
Pittsburgh
Tennessee
Jacksonville
Indianapolis
Arizona
Philadelphia
Seattle ("Rice-a-roni vs Starbucks" - too good for me to ignore)
Dallas
Baltimore
San Diego (27-10)


I am going hunting tomorrow for a whole bunch of folks. You know who you are. I know where you live.

@spendius,
You might have thought fit to mention the defending champion in your starter post John and the absolute necessity of deposing him. Two in a row would be unthinkable.

@spendius,
John probably figured that since you don't believe in evolution you wouldn't be able to evolve and acquire the skills to compete in a more difficult schedule.

I put up several posts early on, Spendius, about this game. I spread those "starter" paragraphs out over 2 or perhaps 3 pages. My writers here insisted on my doing that. Yes, I am reading from a script that someone else has crafted. I am merely sitting behind a table at A2K NFL Pickum Central. And, like all people sitting behind anchor desks, I am not wearing pants.
But I digress.
Spendius won this game last year but he is naive if he thinks he can do it again. The Canuck, the Mexican, the Irishman and those of us who are true Americans will crush him this go round.
That is the way I see it.

And Panzade. You there in Florida. Are you just going to snipe from the sidelines? Or can you help us put Spendius in his place?
