Football Contest

[lownotes]

I've been trying to guess upsets so that i can catch up to the people at the top. So far I've gotten one per week. Unfortunately I've lost at least one each week. I've been close though. I called Denver over Patriots and almost got KC over Dallas right. Almost. I guessed Detroit's win. I'm still losing though.

I tried that last year. Did me no good.

I never would have picked Miami for last night's game. But it was fun to watch.

Yep. Pretty much everyone took the J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets, I think.

I love those orange uniforms.

OK, did everyone forget to pick last night's game?

[Old Uncle Toe]

Yes. But right after, I made my picks for the rest of the week.

I think even if people did make their picks last night, who would have chosen the 49ers? What a great upset. Who would have known Cutler was going to immolate himself?

Well, as a charter member of the as yet unnamed Procrastination Club I of course waited until the last day to set this football contest up. It's the same one as last year, so some of you are familiar with it already.

It's a pick 'em contest and you can get there by going here.

Private group name is Football Gourmets and the password is music.

If you played previously your account should still be there, simply sign in and then search for our group.

Sorry for the timing but I hope a lot of you join in, it's fun, it's free and it gives you a chance to whoop up on a fellow MuGer.

this. is. how lazy I am ....

putting the link here on the current page. gee, I guess it's obvious that I gave up picking once I was out of the Survivor game. Now I am attempting to shame myself into getting back into it.

[Worm]

I got knocked out of that the first week, this year and last.

How anyone manages to stay in is beyond me.

[Worm]

Game tonight...must make picks.

[Old Uncle Toe]

Done!

(Thanks for the reminder.)

I knew I was making a mistake when I clicked.

Of course, I always make many mistakes when I pick these damnable games. How do you do it???

Blasted Dolphins. Blasted Jake Delhomme and his blasted penchance for blasted interceptions.

When the run game is going so well, why do the Panthers go back to their less-than-average passing game? DeAngelo Williams averages something like 9 yards per carry, plus Stewart, plus Hoover, plus that other runner who's name escapes me. Meanwhile Delhomme's completions are less than 50% and his interception count is in the top three in the league. How hard do you have to consider that?

Apparently they need me to go down there and teach strategy.

Have you made your picks yet? Don't forget there are three games today.

[Worm]

My prognostications have proven to be decidedly average, so far. >sigh<

[Melodious Thunk]

dont forget to watch the crappy game tonight and get your picks in

Some of us would be much better off letting the contest do the picking for us.

[Old Uncle Toe]

Finally! Melo Thunk pulls a bad week and UncleToe slips into the lead. I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

You skunk. I carefully picked my choices. (Yes, I knew Carolina would upset N.O. even before I found out Brees was sitting it out.) You and I tied at 10 points each. Apparently all of my effort is worth the same as doing nothing. Harumph.

I console myself in knowing that I'm still ahead of you -- even if it's only one point.
