Are You Ready for Some Football - Week 2

[Zopperoni]

Check the League Message board. Reis posts the weekly team scores there.

Is someone tabulating team scores?

I'm guessing Reismark... since he's the Commish and all.

BBB went 8-5, 8-5, 9-4 so far.

This was mainly a boring football weekend, wasn't it?

There were only FOUR games where the final winning margin was within 7 (SF-Stl, Was-Atl, Car-TB, Oak-Cin). Stop with the blowouts

We did that to the Pack last week.

Hell no!

Not if you were watching the Atlanta-Washington game. What a nail biter that was. Started out 17-0 in favor of the Falcons, then the 'Skins had a great surge in the second half. Captured the lead. Atlanta had the making of a comeback in the 4th quarter but couldn't pull it off.

What a great game that was. Oh yea, and GO SKINS!!!

But alas, my poor Lions lost.... I suppose I'm glad I'm stuck in MD and couldn't watch the game, score doesn't look pretty. I'm still confident we'll have a good year this year. Though compared to the last 2 years, damn near anything could be considered a good year. Steve, Joey, and Charles, come on fellas, lets get a good team!

damn, I wish I knew Philly was going to suck like that.

I would have started Brady in place of Gannon.

WTF is wrong with Oakland!!

words cannot describe how bad the bears suck

Well, I looked at the team standings and I'm going "wtf?"

10.88 points? 9.67 points? What happened to good, old won-loss records? What's with these "points"? Is it some sort of formula? Is anybody checking to see if the "formula" is correctly applied towards all teams, games, etc?

I don't bet on football, but if I went 12-4 one week and my bookie said "well, according to this formula you actually went 8-8" I'd be pissed off. Hell, I'd be threatening to send some of MY "boys" over to have a little "discussion" that might or might not involve kneecaps.

What the hell is going on here and why isn't a simple won-loss record good enough?

That gives me an idea for another pool we can create in our Lombardi Leaque in addition to the Suicide and Executioner pools: "The Dead Pool". At the beginning of the season, everyone picks a team they feel will be the last team to win a game. Tiebreakers would be by points (i.e. how many total points the selected Dead Pool team will surrender before winning a game).

Culpepper doesn't know how to hold on to the ball.

[Jules]

Wow. Start of the 4th quarter and the Bears are only down by four. Could it be that the Bears are gonna do the Packers a favor tonight?

If the vikings lose...

Didja hear that Jamal Lewis predicted that he was going to break the record before the game?

Yea, thats amazing. Even more amazing than the Babe Ruth homer. If this record stands for more than a couple years this prediction will deffinately be remembered as history.

Stupid Bears!
