@realjohnboy,
There are 20 players in so far, with Ragman owing me a couple of games. JPB said she might play and Sozobe picked Green Bay. I am not sure she intends to go beyond that.
15 of us have Green Bay tomorrow night while 5 have New Orleans.
We would be happy to welcome new players. All you have to do is predict the winners in the 16 games spanning tomorrow night through Monday night.

@realjohnboy,
This timeframe for submission (as you have worded it) seems to be a new change. Prior to this season it was only the Thursday nightgame pick is 'due' before game-time ... not ALL the picks. Is this just my misintrepetation or is it a mistake or neither?

@Ragman,
Thank you for asking about that, Ragman.
I recall that in the "old days" when we had only a handful of players, I would post the schedule on the Tuesday after the Monday night game and players had to pick ALL of the games for the week, even if it started with a Thursday night game. That was a very short window for folks who travel mid-week.
I tried two alternatives as we got more and more players.
1) I would post the next week's schedule on Sunday of the previous week, with ALL picks due by the kick-off of the Thursday game.
2) I would post the next week's schedule on Sunday or Tuesday with the requirement that players had to pick in the Thursday game before kick-off but could come back to pick the rest of the games before the start of Sunday's games.
I prefer option #1 for several reasons, but I can certainly live with #2.
But the season starts tomorrow night. There has been plenty of time to mull. All picks for week #1 are due by kick-off tomorrow night.
Ragman

@realjohnboy,
I have no problem with either option. I just wanted to clarify it myself because I'd seen no prior discussion of that. Perhaps I missed that thread. However, whatever makes it easier for you I'm all for.

@Ticomaya,

his 227 consecutive start streak is second to brent's 297, among QB's...

Quote:
Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo was 10 years old when Manning's streak began. Veteran center Jeff Saturday
has never snapped the ball to another quarterback to start a game during his pro career. In fact, no player on
Indy's roster has participated in a regular-season or playoff game for the Colts without No. 18 at the controls.

@Ticomaya,
Peyton Manning had his more invasive neck surgery today to free up his nerve problem. It sounds like it'll be 2-3 months minimum before he can pick up a football again. Looks to many that this looks he's done playing this season.

It's a bummer cause I really like watching him play. And NFL likes him playing too.

2 and a half hours until the kickoff of the NFL season!
In the New Orleans @ Green Bay game we break 15-6 in picking the Packers.
As I look through the games for Week #1, we are evenly split on the Detroit @ Tampa Bay game.
There are 3 games where we are at 19-2. Edgar and AndyClubber pick Miami over NE and Carolina on top of Arizona. Jespah and Ms Cowdoc think Minnesota will beat San Diego.
Osso (choosing Oakland) and McGentrix (Jax) agree with the majority on all but one game. Tico, Ragman and Fbaezer are out of step on 2 games.
At the other end is Edgar who thinks differently from the majority on 9 of 16 games and Wandeljw at 7 of 16.
There is still time for new players to join in for the full week experience. Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Killing A Bit Of Time
You may recall that AndyClubber is an employee of mine who is the singer in a goth-type band. They are on their annual month long national tour.
He writes well and has been blogging periodically. They dodged hurricane Irene in the NE, losing 1 show in Cambridge. They made it to Atlanta where they performed and Andy was on a few panel discussions at some event. Then they drove through the brunt of the remnants of hurricane Lee.
They spent last night in Beaumont, TX and headed today to a show in Austin. He describes the fog of smoke as absolutely surreal.

@realjohnboy,
Thanks for the clue - I forgot there was a game tonight. Was keyed in to the US tennis open today instead. (go.... Rafa)

Interesting re Andy's experience. Yeah, the smoke. Very weird and scary. The old Bel Air fire came six block from our house. Ours and many others. Ai yi yi.
