Because, Sean, I might get drunk on Saturday and not wake up in time to put them in on Sunday morning. You might know something about that.

[Sean of the Thread]

If I do drink it will most likely be on a Saturday.

NCAA ftw.

[Celephais]

Back to the booze?

[Sean of the Thread]

Not heavily but hell yes I've drank on a Saturday.

I almost made it 60 days sober.

[Atlanteax]

I suppose that it should not be considered a stretch that interacting on the PC would drive Sean to drinking (heavily).

[Sean of the Thread]

This place can be nuts and however it never drove me to drinking.

That would just be an empty excuse anyways.

[NocturnalRob]

well, that didn't go well...

[RichardCranium]

Speak for yourself. Only the Giants and Jaguars fucked me this week.

[TheEschaton]

I'm thinking we get Sam Bradford next year, or something, cause our QBs look like...well, like they went to Stanford and Harvard.

[Latrinsorm]

I keep forgetting that the Jaguars are terrible. The week thus far!!

10-2: Drevihyin, Solkern

Ordinarily I would devote this space to giving Solkern some Ravens dap, but Drevihyin hitting with the only Carolina pick out of 28 pickers?? Tres impossiblé (also fuck the Ravens. Who the hell is Ray Rice?).

9-3: RichardCranium, Rimalon, Zanagodly
8-4: AndroidPK, Doughboy, LMingrone, StabbyRogue, Trouble, Tsa`ah
7-5: Anticor, Celephais, Drew, Drinin, Eschaton, Latrinsorm, Neo, Parkbandit, peam, RSR, Stunseed, Willington
6-6: Kembal, NocturnalRob, SoTT
5-7: Atlanteax
4-8: "Buffalo I must be crazy" Ardwen - you said it, brother!

Speaking of 1 vs. 27 picks, Zanagodly is the only one who picked Atlanta for Monday night, so it's down to Drevihyin, Solkern, and Zanagodly.

[Ardwen]

I was apparently drunk when I picked

[Tsa`ah]

but Drevihyin hitting with the only Carolina pick out of 28 pickers?? Tres impossiblé (also fuck the Ravens. Who the hell is Ray Rice?).


Ahem ....



Carolina



I couldn't throw my Panthers under the bus ... so I switched the pick against my better judgement.

In well before kick off ... 9-3

[Drevihyin]

Go panthers!

[Solkern]

Go Ravens!!

[Sean]

I'm thinking we get Sam Bradford next year, or something, cause our QBs look like...well, like they went to Stanford and Harvard.

As usual the Bills will manage to go 7-9 and take themselves out of the running for the top picks.

[TheEschaton]

My friend Sakib said the same exact thing a week ago.

[Latrinsorm]

Ahem ....



In well before kick off ... 9-3Yeah, I don't go back and review everyone's picks to see if they waffled or not, so corrections will occur.

9-3: Tsa`ah

[Tsa`ah]

Yeah, I don't go back and review everyone's picks to see if they waffled or not, so corrections will occur.

9-3: Tsa`ah

Are you calling me a Favre?

[Stabbyrogue]

Yay! We beat the Lio....... fuck.

[Sean of the Thread]

Hell of a MNF game but Gruden is now on my list of annoying ass broadcasters. I swear he was drunk tonight.

[TheEschaton]

I would take Gruden any day of the week over Cris Collinsworth. Man, I hate Cris Collinsworth. Joe Buck + Troy Aikman together are worse, but neither alone can top the horror show that is Cris Collinsworth.

[Sean of the Thread]

FUCKING BINGO

You just named my top 3! Hahaahahahaha. Colinsworth fucking shit man.

Aikman is like a deer in the headlights on camera too. I think he took to many hits to the noggin.

[Latrinsorm]

Congrats to Solkern on the win!

[Latrinsorm]

On the topic of announcers, I think Collinsworth would be 20,000% better off if he wasn't with Michaels. They're like the Marv and Fratello of the NFL, they just have terrible chemistry. I don't know why they can't just go with a lone play by play guy - I love Jaws, but I get exactly enough of his opinion in five minutes on PTI, I don't really need three hours worth.

[Sean of the Thread]

67.62% is still enough to beat the books and juice to make a living. I know I'm a little off my game this year but it's been declining since I quit handicapping for real.

Not an excuse I'm just saying.

[Stunseed]

I'm disappointed in my own choosing, just a couple of bad weeks of me not reading a few set of defenses. I can think of 3 games off the top my head if I had been thinking I would have switched.

Still doing better than Ardwen this year. Maybe I can use this year to catch him overall.

[Sean of the Thread]

You're having a good year.


Bastard.

[Stunseed]

Maybe I'll have a change IRL and have some cash to toss as a hobby.

I always thought it would be cool to have a grand just to play around with, and see what happens. Kinda the "Disney" fund since I'd imagine I would do pretty well.

Edit v2 : By Disney fund, I mean the extras past the grand minus half for taxation I'd use to take my kids/WTB on vacation.

[Sean of the Thread]

It's all about money management no matter how big your bankroll is but even in small amounts it will add your interest to the games hella much.

[Solkern]

I'm moving on up! two great weeks in a row.

[Doughboy]

doughboy : 71.57%

Mother fuck the police! Consistency, bitches!

Although that number is skewed from me missing a week...Jesus, my last couple of weeks have sucked. Not even in the double digits in correct picks.

[TheEschaton]

I'm at 70%, missed one week too. That's kinda scary imo.

[Latrinsorm]

The % numbers are only based on picks you actually made, otherwise the order would be exactly the same as raw number. Think of it as batting average versus hits (I can't remember, do you follow baseball? What would you be, a Blue Jays fan?).

[LMingrone]

Am I not on there because I missed a week? :(

[Latrinsorm]

According to my records, you didn't submit picks for weeks 1, 2, or 6, giving you a total of 70 picks.

[TheEschaton]

I am an Indians fan, because the Buffalo Bisons are the minor league team for the Indians (I used to be a Pirates fan for this very reason, damn, those were dark years).

[Ardwen]

COnsidering my terrible week i cant complain, and hell I still lead in weeks won!

[LMingrone]

According to my records, you didn't submit picks for weeks 1, 2, or 6, giving you a total of 70 picks.

Damn, seems like you're right. Thought I only missed week 6. You can punch me in the face now.
