I'm starting to get discouraged:(



I keep falling further and further behind while Dan wins all four of his games and steals the coveted 3rd place.

1st Dave
2nd Stephanie
3rd Dan
4th Toby
5th Me
6th Brian
7th Dad
8th Scott

Everything is posted below so there's no need to further elaborate. (it's just too disgusting anyway)

You Don't Want To End Up Looking Like This Guy!


The week starts early because of the Thanksgiving holiday so get your points in on time - especially if you are doing the pigskin picks. Just a reminder, on Thursday Atlanta is at Detroit and Denver is at Dallas. (I know my grammar needs work)

Anyway, last week was another stinker - unless your name is Dave or Brian. I have posted the points again at the bottom so you can check my math. Dave won all four of his games gaining 18 points making his total 140. Coming in second, Stephanie won 1 game and only gained 5 points but still has a total of 121. Third place goes to Toby who won 2 games and gained 8 points to make his total 107. Fourth goes to me. I won 2 of my games giving me 9 points and making my total 104. Fifth goes to Dan who only won 1 game but got 6 points out of that 1 win making his total 102. Sixth place goes to the amazing comeback kid Brian who only won 3 of his games, but somehow beat out everyone else on points this week with 20 - bringing his total 95. Seventh goes to Dad, who defaulted for the first time, but that seemed to help him, putting his big points where they needed to go. He won 2 games and got 11 points bringing his total up to 88. Last place goes to Scott. He won 1 and gained 3 points. Sorry Scott.

Happy Thanksgiving and go easy on the turkey!!!

Week 10 results


Since the Sunday night game and the Monday night game are both played by teams that are owned by the same player I can calculate the results early. I am posting the tally sheet so you can check my math (just click on the image to see it more clearly). The teams playing each other are color coded. To summarize, Dave is back on top, Stephanie is back in second, Toby is in third, Dan is in fourth, I am in fifth, Dad is in sixth, Brian is in seventh, and Scott is still in last (but won 3 out of 4)

Good To See You Go T.O.


Terrell Owens isn't the only one losing his position this week. Stephanie reclaimed her number one position this week from Dave, winning all 4 of her games gaining 19 points. Dave, don't worry, you aren't far behind. I once thought you were unstoppable, but second place isn't so bad (if you don't mind losing to a girl).

Anyway, I'll try to have Toby scan my score sheet so you can see the entire breakdown sometime soon. Until then here are the results.

Stephanie 4 wins 19 points (109)
Dave 1 win 5 points (107)
Toby 1 win 7 points (89)
Dan 2 wins 10 points (84)
Ann 1 win 5 points (81)
Dad 2 wins 11 points (77)
Brian 2 wins 9 points (75)
Scott 1 win 3 points (57)

The other big story is Dan knocking me out of 4th place. Since the rest of us will be trying for second and third place, don't expect to stay there long. I can just feel that my Detroit Lions will be on the winning streak of their lives.

This guy is my hero!


He not only got past the multitudes of security, he got past all of the players and coaches and got Brett Favre to give him the ball. We might not ever get to see this again, but it's so good to see someone attempt such a meaningless prank.

Anyway, the results are in for week 8. The big mover is Brian. He won 3 of his 4 games (almost winning last night's game against the Steelers, only losing by 1 point). He gets 18 points for the week tying with Dad for 6th place. Now we have to hope that I get a couple of those kinds of weeks.

The other results are getting kind of redundant. Of course Dave is in 1st place. He won 2 games and received 10 points making his grand total 102. Congrats on breaking that milestone. What I think is interesting is that when you look at the Yahoo pickem's totals, you'll see who's not in first place - that's right Dave the leader is in dead last place - even trailing yours truly. (And that's pretty hard to do) The only thing I can gather from that is that Dave must have used all of his prognosticating skills back when he was picking teams with us. Nos-dur-damis must be growing weary.

Second place remains with Stephanie. She won 2 games giving her 11 points and making her grand total 90.

Third stays with Toby. He also has 2 wins and 9 points. His total is 82.

Fourth is me. I had 1 win giving me 8 points and making my total 75.

Fifth place is Dan nipping at my heels with 74 points. He had 3 wins and 14 points.

Sixth place as I stated before is shared between Dad and Brian. Dad had 0 wins and no points. Brian's info is above.

Last goes to Scott who had 1 win and 5 points this week.
