Woo hoo! 15 for 15, unless Indy blows a 30 point lead. Plus, only missed Dallas on the spread. Finally a winning week! ---

Kudos indeed. I thought I was doing well only missing 2 picks and 4 against the spread, but I guess not! 😃 ---

Thank you. It is a first. Only missed the Cowgirls against the spread, but Dallas is always finding a way to stick it to this **GIANTS** fan. ---

Congrats! I, on the other hand, thought my picks were pretty good, but Chi lost @ Was, TB lost @ Hou, NYG won @ Phi, and I picked Pit over NE. :smack: … and that’s how you end up at the bottom. ---

[/QUOTE] We’ve either gotten a lot better at picking, or the league has finally become predictable. Shibb, someone else who thought he was doing well but found that missing one made him about “middle of the pack”. ---

It sucks being up at 4am on a Saturday night, knowing you probably won’t fall asleep for at least another 2 hours, and then needing to get up at 8:30. Especially after cutting your sleep short the previous day and walking around tired all day specifically in the hopes that you’d be able to sleep later.

WOO HOO! I ended up #11 in Pick 'em and Top 10 in Confidence after being about #18 of 22 around week 4 or 5. I’d say that should qualify for the “most improved” award. 😃 ---

Wanna know the definition of the word “infuriating”? Being in a for-money confidence pool in which the top-four players after week 17 get a cut, and being one of the top four players…for the first 16 weeks of the season. Fuckbeans. ---
