Are You Ready for some Football - Week 15

[-Jrabbit]

Well, if you insist, Rah -- Flame On!

1. You say those with a "real life" might not have time to pick. (C'mon -- we have from Wed. to Sun!)
2. You say you "will run the calcs" for the whole season (presumably to see if Slickers got screwed).

Conclusion -- I'm thinking Rah has no real life. In fact, I'm thinking the calcs to date have already been run. .

More on why reismark is right --

--Miss the final PGA tournament and fall out of the top 130, you don't get a tour card, no matter what your average earning per tournament is.

--Forfiet a game in ANY sport and you get a loss, not a bye.

--But the heart of it is simply How Statistics Work. (Yeah, Rich, I know what you do for a living.) 3-man competition is just that. It's why there's a solo picks Lombardi title as well.

And I do hereby pledge to give props, not to laugh at the team who wins, and not to whine if my team's two DNPs cost us in the standings.

Um, rabbit. You're playing with fire, son.
RAH has no sense of humor. Mix that with tender feelings, and well, it can be volatile.

BTW, what are the stakes in your pool here? Just curious... obviously it's much too late for me to play now

[SlowwHand]

Bragging rights. That and RAH's weasel ranch.

[Peacemaker]

Damn I had major computer problems all week and wasn't able to get online to make my picks. I'm totally screwed unless I can have a flawless playoff record and Miami wins the Superbowl.

[SlowwHand]

The Weeper Line is forming to the left.

You don't see me weeping about losing in first round of playoffs after 12-2 season and leading Yahoo league, do you ? Where's that line forming?

You think I don't know that, Sloww? We've been friends for about 30 yrs. and have crossed swords many times. (And I beg to differ -- he has a great sense of humor. )

He proclaimed he was stirring the pot and invited the flame. The least I could do was to oblige him.


And of course, I'll be disappointed if he doesn't fire back. After all, what can he do? Ban me?

[SlowwHand]

Oh that's just SWELL, rabbit. "Great sense of humor".
Now he'll never get that big old head through the door.

[monolith94]

Why oh why can't the patriotss get their act together again???

[-Jrabbit]

They've got youth, talent, and a decent coach. But it's not their year.

Ssshhhhhhh!!!!! don't reveal the Evil Plan!

The patriots still need a better running back. Antowain Smith was a one year wonder. He never did much in Buffalo for a reason...

Last year was a fluke, that's why. You're acting like this year is the aberration.

I'm amazed that Belichek is now regarded as a genius... I guess that explains all those great years he had at Cleveland...

[SlowwHand]

Ok, trade Dillon to Buffalo. Buffalo's more apt to deal than the Texans.
Speaking of the Texans, again, I hate that logo.

So much for trolling. What made me think about it, was I was feeling somewhat satisfied when I checked and found myself listed in fourth palce. But then I preceded to look at the people in 5-11th place. Every single one of them have at least one 0 week. And the 11th place person has two zeros and only is 15 points out of the lead. My fourth place should really be like 12th place. Obviously a bad year for picks for me. But I'm in 4th place. Now if we were playing for money, it might be different. (I do know that there wouldn't be as many zeros on the score sheet) But we're playing for bragging rights only. I just wanted to see the person that picked the best be the one allowed to brag.

Since it would only hurt me in the individual standin gs I figured it was best to troll using the team approach.

RAH
Doesn't quite feel like bragging about being in the top 4, when at least 7 other players have picked better.

Of course we haven't really seen anybody doing much bragging. SO a little interest/controversy couldn't hurt.
