    250 million Z-dollars? I could actually buy a whole 5 beans with that!

    Also, I'm rather not a fan of fast food, unfortunately, but thanks for the offer.

    Jones just keeps betting on the bad eggs, he was bound to have to eat one sooner or later. The funny part is, IMHO anyway, Adam Jones has never been any good in coverage. But what do I know?

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    Early reminder: it doesn't matter so much this week, as the first kickoff isn't until Sunday. But later in the season, we have some Thursday games beginning the week. It might be a good habit to always look/consider your picks on Wednesdays for the PoolHost Pool.

    Just saying.

    p.s. We have 2 new players: Crazed Rabbit & "ScrapIron". Welcome! and Good Luck!

    I think the fact that I'll never pick the ravens, browns, or steelers as winners is going to hurt my standings...

    Yes!!!

    Can't you just see him catching a long pass from one of the best quarterbacks in the league, carson pal...err...ryan fitzpatrick??

    But seriously, I think the bengals can win as long as the NEVER give the ball to chris "14 yards in 11 rushes but at least I didn't fumble" perry. Good lord. I wanted to stab someone when they gave him the ball on the first two downs of OT vs the giants. Wow, 3 and out, who could have predicted that? Harvard boy ran for 4 times as many yards per carry as he did

    Calling Crazed Rabbit: tick-tock, my friend. Less than 3 hours to kickoff. Now is a good time to make your picks for this week.

    Interesting, this week, as last, we all agree on 2 games (Houston over Detroit, and Tampa beating Seattle). Other than that, a nice mix, fellas.

    Wow, looks like the Rams made the right move firing Linehan and replacing him with Haslet. They're dominating Dallas right now.

    That was the most disgusting performance I've seen since the playoff game against the Jets.

    Indeed. Given the special team's performance (or lack thereof) the last few weeks, I suspect Ferraro may not have a job for very much longer. Even I can't blame Childress for yesterday's comedy of errors.


    As for my picks this week, the only one I really regret was going with the Chiefs over the Titans. I wouldn't have changed any of my other games, even considering the ones I lost -- I mean seriously, who thought the Cowboys and Jets would lose to such lowly opponents (sorry Decker!), despite their problems?

    I know right! Though if Seabass made his earlier kick we wouldn't have had to suffer overtime

    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
