So where do I collect my $92?

<rolls eyes about the spread: tell me where we are picnicking and I'll be there, and I'll bring food>

Beaming with self-satisfaction in the mirror. What more do you want from a game like this?

Prove it wasn't a fluke by doing it again.

Good start, Reege. Gotta truck?

I'll have the middle plate in the cake stand if it's alright with you RP.

Where's the booze?

In the bar, silly. Take a seat, eh? What would you like?


I've never tailgated at any event so that is all a mystery to me. I know horse racing better - there are bars there, including in the ring in Santa Anita. I think - it was a while ago. Maybe there are at football stadiums too.

Meantime, what are these wee squares with arrows all over the conversation?

Here are the results of our "pick um" game for Week #4 - not to be confused with the "point spread" game.
1) Rhys (aka "wonder boy") scored a commendable 14-1 to win the week. He joins Cowdoc, Coastalrat and McGentrix in the weekly winner's circle.
2) George and Miz Cowdoc followed at 13-2.
4) At 12-3 were Mysteryman, Osso, Coastalrat and Ragman.
8) Region and Liontamerx finished at 11-4.
10) Wandeljw. AndyD and Cowdoc came in at 10-5.
13) JBLosman came in after Thursday's game and went 10-4.
14) Johnboy, Tico and Ehbeth struggled a bit and went 9-6.
17) Edgar, Jespah and McGentrix struggled more that a bit: 8-7.
20) And then there was JPB who ended the week at 7-8.

As a group we went 70% (208-91). A lot better than last week. In fact, it was our best week of the young season.
The top ESPN expert was 14-1 and the worst was 9-6.

Thur 10/4:
Arizona
Sun 10/7 - early:

meh, just picking what seems like the right ones. No thought this week.

Now that we have real refs, I guess they reversed last week's result where RJB said I was the weekly winner.

I wuz robbed.
