Mike, you can't pick Cleveland and Pitt. Dod you mean Philly? Or what please clarify Pitt vs Cleveland and Tenn vs Philly.
oops meant Philly not Pitt.
Week #11 and Johnboy is happy. Without even working up much of a sweat, he has gotten participation in this exercise in quixotry* back up to 18 players. We had 18 in Week #2 and #3 but then a couple of people quit. We added a couple of new folks but, after that, someone would go missing for a turn or two (or three, Kicky). But this week: hail, hail, the gang's all here.
This is going to be a tough week if the Deviant points are any indication. We all agree on KC over Oakland. But after that pretty much each of us is out on a limb in one or more games.
JP in Milw (11 Deviant points) is the low man, followed by Lion (14), Cowdoc (18) and Region (20). Most of the rest of us are in the low 20's to low 30's. At the other extreme is Cjhsa (45) with JPB (37).
See you after the early games.
* Some Scrabble player, a carpenter from Boston, I believe, played quixotry in a sanctioned tournament, and shattered the record for most points in one play. I was determined to try to use that word in a sentence.

I'm a little rusty...but...cheers everyone!
I am reminded of when I was a lad of about 19 and in college at William and Mary. I looked like I was all of 16. I spent far too much time at the pool hall across from my dorm (poker in the back room). I could say to the drunk frat boys, with my best redneck accent, "I've never played pool (or poker) for money before." After I emptied their wallets, I could also run like hell.
Through the early games, rusty Panzade is at 10-1 (missing only on the Philly game). Kicky is at 9-2. JPinMilw, Child and Jespah are at 8-3. It goes downhill from there with cjhsa at 3-8.
I hate this game called football, I really do...

I believe I would have given you a run for you money, Johnny.
I've encountered such behavior more than once in my illustrious gambling career and have successfully turned the tables on such opponents.
It's a jungle out there.
I saw Kick is doing well, glad you nagged il fifone...
Yay for Panz..
Ahem, I KNEW I shoulda picked SF. It's whosits' first game back for the Seahawks, isn't it?
Remind me to avoid the city of Philadelphia.
Jespah, are you still using Random Chance or have to givin in to your scientific inquiring mind?
Thinking of Gus as the Cincinnati Kid..
Watching my can't-miss list as it goes once again into the toilet.
Gus, I am sure I would have been no match for you. But you may have missed these three words in the story above: "drunk frat boys." There is gambling; there is stealing and then there was getting money away from "drunk frat boys."
I chose my opponents wisely, avoiding anyone who smelled as if they came from the nearby swamps. They, the swampdwellers, would definitely be better than me at pool, poker or running fast., although I was pretty good at running away from things back then.
Ack, I didn't know McNabb was hurt, backing up from knocking Philadelphia.
McNabb reportedly gone for the season.
Looking to see who picked SF, Dallas, and Az...
cursory glance, only Kicky...
