The Fantasy Fantasy A2K NFL Pick-Um Thread for 2011-2012

Romo suffered a broken rib and a collapsed lung in a gutsy victory over the 49ers.
More worrisome is the injury to Miles Austin, though he may play on Monday night.

Thanks for the gold star thing jb, though I've already misplaced it.
It was a big payday at work where the u-pickem game had 29 contestants at 5 bucks a pop.
You guessed it. I collected the filthy lucre.

STANDINGS AFTER WEEK #2:
1) Panzade (.750) climbs from 5th in Week #1
2) Johnboy (.719) slips from a tie for 1st
2) Osso jumps from 5th
2) McGentrix does the same
5) JPB (.687) gets a big bounce from 12th
5) Region slumps from 1st
5) George drops from 3rd
5) Ragman holds onto a share of 5th
5) Cowdoc matches that
10) Fbaezer (.656) loses 7 spots from 3rd
11) Spendius (.625) slides from 5th
11) AndyClubber pops up from 17th
11) Liontamerx does that also
11) Mysterman inches down from 12th
15) Wandeljw (.562) stumbles from 5th
15) Tico moves up from 17th
15) Ehbeth remains where she was
18) Rhys (.531) declines from 12th
18) Coastalrat loses a step from 17th
20) Ms Cowdoc (.500) suffers another 8-8 week and drops from 15tt
20) Edgar moves out of the cellar
22) Jespah (.437) moves into the cellar from 17th
The best ESPN guy is .750, good for a share of 1st while the worst expert (.625) lands in a tie for 11th. CoinToss/CoinToss also is at the bottom, keeping Jespah company.
As a group through 2 weeks we have a .622 winning record.

Congratulations to Panzade - great score.

I hope that everyone appreciates RJB's effort to be nuanced in his reporting of our results.

John-Boy is known as "Roget" in some circles.

crop circles?

Is that in a letter to the Thessaronians?

(groan)

So, I have a starter list, which might as the week goes by change a smidge.

I wrote this up yesterday, early for me:

Lions at Vikings LIONS
Broncos at Titans TITANS
49s at Bengals 49ERS
Texans at Saints SAINTS
Giants at Eagles EAGLES
Dolphins at Browns BROWNS
Jaguars at Panthers PANTHERS
Patriots at Bills PATRIOTS
Ravens at Rams RAVENS
Chiefs at Chargers CHARGERS
Jets at Raiders JETS
Falcons at Bucs FALCONS
Packers at Bears PACKERS
Cardinals at Seahawks CARDINALS
Steelers at Colts STEELERS
Redskins at Cowboys REDSKINS

Today I'll give points to the Redskins/Cowboys - 27 to 24.
I like, as it seems many do, Kafka, but not sure how much practice he's gotten, and am glad Romo did his thing, but figure he'll still hurt some; don't particularly believe in Grossman. So, it's Washington by a hair.

Well, I appreciated the nuance. Spendius only "slid" from 5th to 11th. My drop from 5th to 18th was a "stumble." This is definitely the work of an expert wordsmith!

5th to 15th was a "stumble." 5th to 18th would have been a "plummet."

Thanks for the correction. I actually dropped to 15th, not 18th. RJB used precise terminology, as always.

I'm a-thinkin, john boy.
Jeez, will Romo and Vick play?

I think Romo will, but the 'Skins defense has been trash talking about hitting him hard. Not sure about Vick. Concussions are being taken much more seriously then in the past.
