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

I read the link and I saw no mention of football. Do you really think I would be so ignorant as to say what I did without reading the link. You have a very low opinion of the two times champion in this Pick-Um game. From two attempts I might add.

I presume the "tackle" to which you refer is more effective than a lot I saw in the Eagles game.

But thanks anyway.

Beyond my control, the link to the explanation of Safety - American football term topic may have be broken. Nevertheless, I provided an excerpt explaining it. You're quite welcome

By any chance is your name Joey Nickels?

Wandeljw is 12-3 and has Dallas tonight, while Johnboy is also 12-3 and is picking Washington. One of them will win the week outright.
As a group we have the Redskins by a 12-10 margin.

Please switch my pick in tonight's game to Redskins over Dallas.

Gawd help me as I hate switching 'cause I often lose ground...but ... so be it.
I just don't buy into Dallas with their key injuries in addition to Romo's. Romo probably won't make it past the first quarter with his injuries. Kitna can't win either. Skins-Cowboys rivalry is big and the division's top spot is at stake.

That makes the vote here 13-9 in favor of the Skins.

The rules here require picks for all games in a given week must be submitted before the kickoff of the 1st game (usually 1 pm ET Sunday).
I can explain the logic if asked.
So you are stuck with Dallas. Sorry.

I wasn't aware that you couldn't make a change to the MNF before the game time. No problem, really ...OK. You probably did me a favor! LOL.

It makes the job simpler still as the administrator.

It also keeps people from being namby pamby with their picks...

I flip my coin with the utmost in confidence that 50 % of the time, I'm going to win. unless I lose...

wow, that was kinda harsh, coin toss...

That's 'cause you're an edgy sort.

That's not as bad as drawing circles up and down the block.

I think I have ten too..
I'll go back and check.

Is that the nickle defense?

I have my record at 10 wins, too Hopefully, Mr. Romo can show the world what sort of winning stuff he's been alleged to be made of.

Hats off to you for that one.

a blonde bimbo and a bad tv commercial?

Nope, RJ, I'm wrong, I only have 9.

You both, Osso and Ragman, along with a bunch of other folks, are 10-5. That is not good enough to catch either Wandeljw or Johnboy.
The main reason for the rule mentioned above is that there are (believe it or not) people who make picks and then move on to other things. They don't follow breaking injury reports, for example.
The comment about namby-pamby changing of picks in order to affect the outcomes of a week is also a factor in creating the rule.

Thanks. I managed to confuse myself just now when I counted five negs.
Gotta go back to elementary school.

I am going to do the schedule for Week #4 tonight as I will have to run the Week #3 tabulating tomorrow. Sometimes if I am confident about the outcome of the Monday night games I will start the exercise on Monday. Not this week!
