Anyone want some beer and pretzels?
BEER! Yes, please. Pretzels too? Excellent!
<chomp, chomp, glug, glug, glug...>
Damn, I don't know what possessed me to pick Miami over my beloved Steelers...after seeing all you guys picking Pittsburgh, it makes me doubt myself. But Big Ben isn't playing, and supposedly neither is Hines Ward. So there's that...
It's about bedtime for realjohnboy. But he goes to bed happy. (Stop writing in the 3rd person, johnboy).
I go to bed with picks for the first week's games from 16 folks. I have pms out to maybe 5 others. So we are off to an awesome start.
Tomorrow night, Thursday night, is the start of the NFL season. Please join us here for my opening monologue (If I get around to writing it) and a live chat with Kicky about the trophy that he is, um, holding (if he happens to be on line) and the first ever interview with Gus (if he has nothing better to do).
I will definitely be giving out the Deviant of the Week Award.
Tune in.
Kicky didn't win the championship last year. I did.
What sort of god damned A2K conspiracy are we witnessing here?
Hey, realjohnboy. I am one of your biggest fans. You are truly awesome.
Here are my picks:
Miami (darn it)
Seattle
Philly
Tenn
Cleveland
Denver
Kansas City
New England
Tampa Bay
Carolina
Chicago
Arizona
Dallas (toughest game)
Indy
Minn
Oakland (31)
Is that true? I thought I won! I know I won something last year, dammit...
Also on the program tomorrow night, osso and some of the other girls will offer recipes for snacks to prepare for guys watching football.

16 games this 1st week. All you have to do is predict who will win each game. And, oh yes, you need to guess the total number of points the two teams in the last game (San Diego vs Oakland) will score. Your selections must be posted here before the start of the 1st game (Sept 7 @ 8:30 pm). All times are ET.
That is all there is to participating. No registration. No secret password. And, if you are successful over the course of the season, you might get to hold the coveted trophy that we award at the end of the year.
A Gentle Plea from Johnboy: please check to be sure that you have made a selection in each of the games and don't forget to predict the total number of points scored in the last game. Thank yall for playing.
Closing in on the deadline of 8:30 pm Thursday night. New players very welcome.
Oh, really? OK.
Puts on thinking cap. Which one, I have a Chicago cap and an Italia cap...
I suppose you'll want pizza...
Osso:
A pinch or arsenic in Week #1, increasing to...
Miami

Philadelphia
New York Jets
New Orleans
St Louis
Kansas City
New England
Baltimore
Carolina
Green Bay
Arizona
Dallas
Indianapolis
Washington
San Diego-44
Old Lace in the second week? (is that another word for chilli relleno casserole?) Ok, I'll be quiet with the food.
See Child of Light is nearly as high as I am on the Oakland SD game total..
MNF usually brings high scores.
Looking at the beginning of the post Johnboy and Pan are working the tally, etc.
THANKS GUYS! I remeber a few years I ran a pick'em sheet; 14 people in the same office and it was difficult to collect every week.
I wait six months for this to come back around ... and I watch all those preseason games, only, because I'm jonesin' so bad. Well, it's almost here.........
jespah's picks, as sent to me via e-mail --
Miami
Seattle
Philly
Jets
Nawlins
Denver
KC
Nueva England
Baltimore
Carolina
Green Bay
San Francisco
J'ville
Indy
Minnesota
Oakland (31)
A mere 5 hours until kick-off of the Dolphins at the Steelers game. There is still time to join us for Week #1 by picking the winners of all of this week's games before the kick-off tonight. The dead-line for picks in all of the games is about 8:30 pm ET.
I see my boy COTL has also picked Miami tonight. That makes me feel a little better about picking against my team.

(announcer): Liiiiive! From Charlottesville, Virginia! The Center of the Universe! It's the 2006 A2K NFL Road to New Orleans Pickum game!
And now, heeeres Johnboy!
(johnboy is sitting at his desk, wearing a nice dark suit. His hair, thick and black, is impecably coiffed.
Like all anchorpersons, from Murrow to Rather to Couric, he is naked below the waist. That is a tradiition in journalism).
Good evening and welcome! I am johnboy. And here we go. Panzade was supposed to be my co-host. He was offered a challenging career position. Please think of Pan next time you go to McDonalds's and the clerk says "Would you like fries with that?"
