I know more about football than you

Octavian, can you explain to me why we're getting points for picking the Steelers?

LOL!
Damn, I'm impressed that I've been doing so well, considering I've been picking based on the spread!

I've lost a lot of obvious points that way, (but I guess I have gained a couple rare upsets too).

So, Octavian, I know you said you'd take a few weeks to marinate in the league and all, and I gotta tell you it's paying off.

You've got 6th place totally sewn up. Keep at it!

Did anyone pick the Redskins over the Cowbows or KC over Denver this week?
I'm not worthy if you did.

I picked the Redskins over Dallas but that was more because I hate Dallas more than anything.

It will appear as if I missed the picks this week...but rest assured, I would have picked everyone incorrect anyway. (whew...feels better to "get" them all wrong then the shame of failing to submit)

Get your picks in by Thursday. Thursday night football starts this week. Cleveland vs. Denver. Makers Mark wants to crush you all fair and square.

I've rocketed up to 5th...and now that I've got a good read on the league you all are finished. Nothing will stand in my way. I've got you right where I want you. Maverick.

I've given up after missing two weeks. Even with email reminders I managed to forget to put in my picks. And I was doing well too. C'est la vie. Have fun stormin the castle.

Octavian: Haven't you been in fifth for like 6 weeks? That's rocketing now? I've done a little analysis, actually... I'm looking at your past performance, and it's not jibing with the current throwdown. You've got a rich history of high finishes over at Yahoo, and then I realized something--who were you playing against? Perhaps members of another site frequented by boardgamers? A site where members' average American football knowledge is on par, say, with their average knowledge of vagina? Welcome to the big boys league.

ps, Eagles over the Giants last week? COME ON.

I already missed out on the first Thursday night game-- it won't happen again. I,m really fucking disapointed with my performance so far... it,s been a srewey season and I've been making some screwey picks.

Hey jeb, your better half is a good looking man. Congrats.
