The A2K football pool

That point would have been brought up by countless sports writers, and for once TO would have been praised. But, right after his team suffered the most demoralizing loss imaginable, he goes and starts bitching like a gigantic vagina about how playing hurt makes him selfish. "If a guy like Bret Farve would have done it, you guys would be calling him a warrior.". That's right dickhead, because warriors go into battle without expecting a fuckin' mountain load of praise when they get back.

TO abandoned the 49er organization, abandoned the 49er players and fans, abandoned The Ravens organization, players and fans, and after his team loses the Super Bowl, he abandons The Eagles players by bitching about how everyone talks bad about him, what a fuckin' douche.

As for T.O.'s movitvations, I couldn't care less. He was obviously well
enough to play and I have to admit, he was no mere "cameo" or "decoy".
I'll give him his due for contributing to the team whatever his
reasons. Just don't ask me to listen to him before or after a game.
Or for that matter, during.

I'd say the criticism "for playing" is totally undeserved. That was Andy Reid's decision, wasn't it?

You had to love T.O. yelling at McNabb to relax on the sidelines. Donovan was a little wired toward the end.

Boy, I'll say! But the whole team seemed to be wading through water
when they should have been hustling to make the most of the time
remaining.

McNabb threw some absolute DUCKS.

While Brady may not have the physical tools some other guys have, he very rarely throws up balls like that.

good point.Brady's self-discipline is what sets him apart.

yep, the kid's poise under pressure is something QB's usually don't yet have at that age...

Hi. Computer problems on Sunday left me out of the loop & I'm back on A2K under a new name.
Yall have pretty much said it all. Philly got out-coached. On your own four with time running out?
For gods sake have two or three or four plays called. bam, bam, bam. They stood around looking quite bewildered.
So in the big trophy chase that we started prior to the playoffs, child and rjb both had NE and child said the total number of points would be 34. rjb said 47. Final score of 24-21 adds up to, um 45.
I have no idea who won the come-lately guess of the actual winner and score of the big game itself.
Again, thanks for playing. See you next year.

Hey whateveryournameis...good job on the season AND winning the Golden Jockstrap award. See you next year...unless someone has a pick for the pro bowl?

And George wins the Johnny Come Lately award for precision. He called it 24-20...one point off.

Thank you.
I bow to your broad knowledge of football. I'm just a Boston/New England homer.

A2K's NFL Golden Jockstrap Tropy Quest
So I am in my garage, sorting screws and washers at my workbench, and I hear on Fox Sports Radio that the NFL teams have started training for the upcoming season. I look up and see the awesome Golden Jockstrap Trophy from last year. Covered with quite a bit of sawdust, but still pretty damn an impressive piece of sculpture. It sat on my mantle for about an hour. I went to the bathroom and when I came back it had been relegated in my abscence to the garage. That's how impressive it is.
Some people just don't appreciate art.
So the start of the NFL season is a mere month away and we will begin our weekly predictions of the outcomes of the games.

Not to worry if you don't know squat about football. Most of the rest of us don't either. Pick the home teams, or pick because you have friends in some of the cities involved. A2K is not big on sports. Last year we had about a half a dozen regular players. Shooting for a dozen this year.

Johnboy administered the game for much of the year last time. If someone else would like to do it, please feel free to commit to it. It takes about two or three hours a week spread out over several days and over the whole season from August-January.

If you are interested in playing please mark this thread and you will be reminded when the season begins.

The trophy is, I think, awesome. You will be proud to display it wherever you are allowed to put it. -rjb-

The Golden Jockstrap trophy.



or perhaps...



Warning: Do NOT Google images of "golden jockstrap" unless you are prepared to view nearly one thousand mostly homoerotic photos.

(Count me in again this year, John. Might pass on the trophy should I win.)

Looking forward to a re-match

It's next year.... G.B. over N.E 48 to 41 for an NFL record! :cool:

Ouch. That post before pan's was scary. I noticed that, when I was reviewing who all had posted last season, that one of the posters may have been quite young (judging from some comments in his profile - perhaps 15 or so). I would gently suggest that we remember that. Thank you.

I'll play along.

All right my man! Welcome to the A2K sports pool. Let's see if you can keep up with our swami.
