The NFL Superbowl Thread! Back Again With Big Prizes*

Anyone watching? NE in a box, perhaps. Clock, clock, clock.

Turn out the lights

NY did not want that TD.

sack after two dropped passes.

John said ****!!!
laughing...

NY GIANTS ROCK!

Woo!

Congrats Frank and other Giants fans!

Glad they won. Didn't look very good for a while there, but they did it!

whoa



thank you for hosting us again rjb, and thanks to everyone for another entertaining season

Thank you so much, Real John. You are our mench.

Passing you the game ball..

Helluva game, helluva season....you da man, johnboy!

Yeah and you waited for 17-9 before telling us. I won 7 stake points. 4 from the game and 3 because Giants were +3 underdogs.

I think the lad fell ass first into the endzone because he didn't agree with the plan and quite rightly. Get the points on the board. You could miss the field goal. A snap, a catch, a set up and a kick with rushers coming at you is not a cert.

A great game. Congrats to both teams. I was up till 3 am. The Giants were a shade lucky was my impression. Recovering two fumbles and that brilliant catch down the left out of bounds were the hand of fate.

Pity about the half-time show though. Women in England of that age who open their legs provocatively a lot don't wear curtains. Doing so is rather drawing attention to something odd.

Thanks John. And all you lovely players. If you see Panzade pass my best wishes. I was only kidding.

This has to be the most hesitant Super Bowl-winning touchdown evah:



(I get why btw, just funny.)

No, I said that the ay before that , since the Gints were bet heavily I would go with my money on the Pates.
Oh well, it was only money tthat my kids could have used for beer and ciugarrettes.

Congrats to NY, and thank you again to RJB.

The Patriots were the bookie's favourites right across the board. A commentator referred to the Giants as "underdogs".

As a matter of interest how much does a pint of 3.5% beer and 20 smokes cost in Pa? I remember buying cartons of 10 x 20 Camels for 7s and 6d which is 37.5 pence in new money. About 50 cents. In Aden I think. We spent time in so many countries in the ME that we rarely knew which one we were in.

This is how I would display the games next season--

Giants (+3) Patriots (-3). Players picking the Giants with that score last night would be credited +7 and Patriot pickers -7. That will sort out the players who follow the money and everybody would know what is what. Had the score been 15-17 Giants pickers score +1 and Patriot pickers -1.

For those who watch the games the interest remains until the clock stops even if a team is leading 40-0 at the last 2 minute warning. To save rjb work players could calculate their own score and a designated player appointed to check it like they do in pub quizzes.

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to RJB for a fun season. Thanks for keeping track of it all.

A tush-down

I think we are done here. Thanks for the playing and the chatting.
No one picked the Giants. George gets 1 point for being closest to the final score of 24-21. He predicted 21-17.
I have Thack and Liontamerx as finishing with 18 points each. Ragman came in at 17 followed by Tsarstepen, Mr and Mis Cowdoc and McGentrix at 16. Andyclubber had 15 and at 14 were Coastalrat, George, Fbaezer, Region, Spendius and Osso along with CoinToss. Ehbeth and Edgar got 13. Parados and Rhys ended at 12. JPB, Jespah and Johnboy just got 11.
I read the comments on changing the rules. We will revisit that next fall when we decide whether to do this thing again.
I think I just heard the crack of a baseball bat.

I emailed Rhys (who is not on A2K) letting him know how he did. I also asked him to think about being commish on the A2K Fantasy Baseball game.
He replied that he would undertake that and he also added that I should say hi from him to Osso and Rockhead.

Neat! <hi, Rhys!>
