That gets us up to 25 participants just before the first kickoff. With any luck I’ll finish in the top 13.

I won it two years ago, but faded down the stretc last year. I can’t remember who did in it. I saw this thread too late to pick the Skins over the Jets, but that seems a fair penalty for board absence.

I have joined nw and look to soon recover from my 1 point handicap. 🙂

Well, the Redskins looked very sharp in the first half, but I don’t think that either of these teams are Super Bowl bound. Ramsey got a bit too rattled by that pick. But still a nice win for the Redskins. Hope springs eternal in the nation’s capitol.

And thus begins my season long dominance in the standings.

And I’m stuck in second place where I belong. Who knew the status quo would assert itself with such strength and rapidity.
