But when I was doing my research on Week 10, I was impressed with the number of low-scoring games there were in Week 9. Could it be an NFL/TV conspiracy to schedule potentially high-scoring games for Monday night? And is the now contrite Terrell Owens ever going to fly with the Eagles again?
the scores'll prolly drop in december when the majority of the country cools down... my
jets are in desperate need of a WR after chrebet's latest (and last?) concussion...

Thanks yall for submitting your picks. We have gotten this down to a bit of a routine, but, hey, it is time for trash-talking, folks. Indy? A bunch of pansies. Pittsburgh? When Ben gets back, there is no stopping the Steelers.
I still need picks this week from El-diablo, Ray and Cowdoc (who is probably coming home this weekend after a week of...um, never mind). And, of course. Panzade and Gus. They better come back this week.
Johnboy is a quiet, soft spoken Virginia gentleman; a graduate, if truth be known, from Mr Jefferson's university. But Johnboy is, at heart, a redneck mountain boy. I never had shoes until I went to school, and I took them off when I walked home through the red clay.
If Gus and Panzade don't agree to post this week...well. it aint going to be pretty.
You were dead right, John. Got back last night from a two-day incredibly boring meeting in Coeur d'Alene on hazardous fuel reduction in the Wildland-Urban Infterface. Wanna sub for me next time? Anyway, for week 10.........

Only an overnight trip to Boise next week. Things are getting better, if only for a little while.
Ha, Cowdoc: Anytime you see the word "Interface" in a conference title you know you are going to be facing mind-numbing drudgery. And in Coeur d'Alene? For two days? Glad you made it back home.
Okay, A2K is back thanks to Craven and his dedicated hamsters. I need picks from El-diablo, Ray, Gus and Pan. Thanks.

Johnboy is a little sad. My pm's to El-diablo and Ray went unopened. Gus replied to his with an explanation that probably took longer to compose than it would have taken to make the picks. We seem to be in a mid-season swoon participation-wise. Panzade came back, so we have 10 players this week.
Re the Deviant of the Week, Dragon takes the honors with a score of 26 (points piled up with the picks of Green Bay, Oakland, Cleveland and Philly). George followed with 20 (Minn, Buffalo and Oakland racking up points there). The rest of us were much closer to the norm.
Johnboy smiled when he noticed that Panzade made the same picks as I did. I had mentioned to Pan in a pm that, given the recent A2K technical problems, he should consider posting earlier than usual. He no doubt looked at my picks and said to himself "Johnboy is a genius." Or something like that.
It's a beautiful fall day in Virginia. The trees that do the color changing thing did so briefly but spectacularly. Like fireworks. I have two massive oaks in my front yard, so big that two people, arms wrapped around either of them, can't get their fingers to touch. There is a breeze and the leaves of the oaks, reddish brown, are coming down. A blizzard of leaves.
We're looking at a blizzard too, johnboy, but the leaves are pretty well history. So far, the valley floor has only a skiff, but the mountains on all sides are totally invisible. They're talking six to eight inches of snow in the high country, and one or two down here. Oh, well, it is November, and October was absolutely beautiful. Snow still beats the hell out of drought. Good day to watch the NFL!
While waiting for the end of the early games.
Cowdoc wrote that "...the valley floor has only a skiff..."
I think I know what a skiff is. How does that word fit in here, describing a small amount of snow. Thanks.
I have been relying on a season schedule I printed out on 9/20. (ESPN) Obsolete, I reckon. The Wash-Tampa Bay game was shown as 1 pm. I will watch for that sort of thing in the future.
Through the seven early games, George rocks! 7-0. Picking Minn and Buffalo. Very well done, dude. The rest of us have two or three mis-picks each. George, as I look at the rest of the card, appears unstopable.

i didn't know you were a tree-hugger, johnboy
Your definition of a "skiff" is correct, jb. I was referring to the fact that the higher country gets considerable more snow than the lower parts of the valley. As it turned out, the storm seems to have blown over without depositing any significant amounts of snow below about 4500 feet. Not a bad result for this time of year. Damned sure better than the results of my picks this week.
