All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

Ugh, if I picked the Chargers instead of being a homer, I'd be in first. What was I thinking?

I must say: you guys are pretty good pickers; picking 9 or 10 out of 13 would make you money in Vegas (or in my other, co-workers pool).
Did anyone actually see the Detroit game? It wasn't broadcast here. Were thay any good, at all - or just dumb luck? I admit my heart sank as I watched the score stay at, what?, 10-3 for what seemed forever.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Re: Official 2008-09 NFL thread
As I said before, the Cowboys just aren't disciplined enough to win it this year. Romo holds on to the ball too long, and then not at all when he gets hit (which was a lot). That was a sad display of football on both sides, until the 4th quarter when the teams decided to actually play.
I think, for the good of the country, the networks will not be showing any Detroit football until the turkey day game. With the current economic crisis, we don't need to be subjected to that.Originally Posted by KukriKhan

Re: Official 2008-09 NFL thread
I fear you are right. I was dismayed watching the game. All my teams had such promise at the beginning. Heres to the New York Football Giants please win so Strike can break .500...please! My hat is of to Matork and Makaikahaan good picks those two and if Clevland pulls it out tonight Mak will be the winner out right and will go 11-2, damn.

Holy crap! I didn't realize I'd done that well.Pool- looks like me and Martok are tied atm- I win if Cleveland can beat the Giants on Monday Night...
There were a few games where I knew I was sticking my neck out, such as going with Jacksonville over Denver. Of course, I also had picks like Miami over Houston that bit me in the keister.
I think you would have been proud, Kukri. Despite some bumbling around (and of course we were guilty of this as well), the Lions actually played a pretty spirited game throughout the afternoon, especially on the defensive side. By all rights, we should've lost this one too -- it was only via another set of last-minute heroics that we were able to pull a victory out of our nether-regions.
Your offense -- like our own -- still definitely needs some work. But the Detroit defense played hard yesterday, and showed that they can shut down teams when they want to.

Bad day for Dallas. Romo and the punter are out for an extended period of time.

This is a serious injury! How is Romo going to cup Jessica's breast with a broken pinkie?
