+Ashallond Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Nah, Mine's already in, they don't need to pick.. will end the contest earlier so you don't have to worry about it as long. Link to comment

rickctroop13 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Perfect week so far. One Jets pick for tonite. Big K & wyld_bill2003 hangin' tuff with 2 strikes! Edited October 12, 2009 by rickctroop13 Link to comment
+Ashallond Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 It'll start getting really interesting around week 8-9 when all of the 'guaranteed' winner teams are all picked. Then you really have to know how that 5-5 team will be during week 12. Link to comment

rickctroop13 Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Looking at the picks I see a few have yet to submit . I know it's still early, but I like to throw a reminder to get 'em in, and it's a 3-strike league so even if you lost last week you're still in! ( I keep reminding on this 'cause a couple of players who got strikes in 1st week never picked again). Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 We bid farewell to Team Merchlinsky (a swing & a miss on Denver) and Big K ( kinda a called third strike with Detroit). Lions also caught Irwando taking strike one while Yemon Yime got his Cards folded for the first time! Leaves three undefeated, with Fossillady counting on the Saints marching on to protect her one strike status tonight (the only Monday night pick). Link to comment
Team_Merchlinsky Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 THANKS FOR THE FUN ! Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 And then there were two.... E&Cplus3 Packed up a 'L' for the first time this season. JohnMac56 got head cheesed for strike number two, and Fossillady got 86'ed by the 49ers for her 2nd... Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 And then there weren't six.... OpalsGalore takes a called third strike.... Link to comment

+hiking dude Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Broncos Suck!! Although they have done better then I predicted them to do I think we will finish the season 9-7. Should of waited until they played Oakland. lol Man that stinks should have went with my 1st thought. Minnesota. But thought that was to easy a pick. lol This was a neat idea for a cointest. Thanks for doing it. Link to comment

rickctroop13 Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Was gonna update last night but daughter was doing schoolwork... now you guys have beaten me to the punch on commentary. One benefit of the 'BUNGLES' is that my GoGints team is out (without ever picking the Giants, that's what I get for saving them for something special!) so no worries about a moral dilemma if I won my own game! . Wonder what Vegas was paying off on a Lions/Raiders/Cheifs trifecta? Now for the damage.... JohnMac took a called third strike, while GoGints and MountainRacer were shredded by the Tiggers. All together the pussycats bit 5! Team Haynes got bit by the Pits for strike one- leaving no team unscathed. The Cards held on to preserve a 4-way at the top. Was hoping they'd give Jackson a shot at the end, for my fantasy team! Nine left- eight eligible to win (I'm also NoLions). Link to comment
JohnMac56 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Yep, I got knocked out because I failed to make a pick last week I did have a good reason for not making my pick, I was on a seven day cruise to MEXICO for vacation and a little geocaching!!! Good luck to all the remaining players.... Link to comment

rickctroop13 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 Quiet week last week, status remained quo with not enough intrigue to be worthy of snarky comments. In the Commissioner's note on the league page I've laid out the tie breaking format going all the way through the Super Bowl (in the unlikely but mathematically possible chance it gets that far). Still 8 in running, 4X 1 loss, 4X 2 losses. Biting your fingernails? Used up all your 'solid pick' teams and now counting on the Lions or Browns for a miracle? It's CRUNCHTIME! Link to comment

rickctroop13 Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Five of seven pickers pulled off a 'Titanic" victory this week, one picker was 'Ravenously' eating up a Baltimore win. Irwando got bit by a Pit pick, and Yemon Yime appeared to sour of the whole schedule and puckered up to kiss hello to a second strike. E&Cplus3 and TeamHaynes hold a precarious 1 game lead as we head down the stretch. Do we think E&C has an edge with both unbeatens still available? Or will they get scrubbed when Peyton & Drew go part-time to be healthy for the playoffs? Link to comment
