Ha! It's Back! RealJohnBoy's A2K NFL "Pick-Um" Game!

who are ahead 10-0...

go stoneham.

NPR says that tickets to the Vikings-NY Giants game in Detroit will be free. Not a good idea, methinks.

Detroit is such a lovely, charming little hamlet. What could possibly go wrong ?

you got any snacks, G...?

mebbe I'll join you guys and Alex for the fourth quarter.

you're brother in law won't be stopping by, will he?

10-3 fishes.

The New England game was so one-sided, they decided to show Miami instead.

Why is it that the Denver-Arizona game, which started at the same time as all of the other late games, still is dragging on? 10 minutes left in the 4th quarter which translates into 20 minutes of tv time.

The usual -- get the picks out before I forget.

I picked Seattle, grrrrrrs at self.

Arizona wins. Finally that game ends.
I have CoastalRat at 11-2, followed by Region, Johnboy, Spendius, and McGentrix at 10-3.
CoinToss is also at 10-3 and rolls off to the pub, hoping to get lucky tonight.

My days are numbered..

Ragman changed his pick from AZ to Denver. I just wanted to remind you of that.
Osso made a couple of good switches.

Bedtime. Philly @ Dallas is close, with Vick throwing 2 INT's. I'll see yall tomorrow.

I had to cut it off with Eagles leading 27-20.

clearer picture, maybe?
it was a visual pleasure when they cut away to show non-snowy highlights in the sunny locales...

I missed the end of the game. Cowboys lost by three.

As certain as death and taxes, when I make a switch, specifically on a sub-500 team, they lose. You can set the clocks by me. At least I did OK on the other picks. And those Pats seem to be doing a lot better than me. They seem to be impervious to the 'better' team defenses or even horrible weather. Belichick seems to have some sort of magic wand.

Belichick as Dumbledore, Brady as Harry Potter.
Hmmm . . .

Nice analogy! Brilliant!

BTW, an NFL scoring stat that is just jaw-dropping: In snowstorms/bad weather, the PATS-opponents scores by half-time is 109-0.

What did you just say?

Oh yes, this also includes no interceptions, no fumbles and/or no turnovers - not even a dropped ball!

They should transfer the franchise to Antartica. They would win every Superbowl. I want to see the Jags in the final after seeing the first half of the Titan's match up.

One of our commentators used "on the road" yesterday. And "recovered". I should really write to Sky Sports about that. Maybe he had been shouldered out of the way by Cecil Martin in the corridors.

I don't really know how you can countenance such a brutal game as a national sport. And dwell lovingly on the brutality too. Which I approve of btw.

If the game is brutal I don't see any merit in tripping around it like a fairy on top of a wedding cake with a load of phony euphemisms. It always amuses me when the crowd enthusiastically applaud a guy being wheeled away on an American-style stretcher with a neck-brace having been fitted on the 35 yard defense line. I imagine them going home and writing a post on a chatline about the plight of the golden-crested grebe in having its habitat ruined by those nasty oil men.

those wacky Jets are at it again...
