Last Man Standing Football Pool 2016

[FishSqueezer]

Just gotta say that this week's slate of games stinks for a Survival Pool! Even the "obvious" choices are iffy!

 

[tsptalk]

I think we've had some bad week 3's. Some big upsets in the past. Will it happen again? :scared1:

i am going with miami over cleveland i think, because well, they're the cleveland browns. and also because of sir isaac newtown and the whole uniform motion concept "an object at rest remains at rest" thing and they've been resting now for about two decades or so. i forget for how long but then that starts to get into time and the theory of relativity and i'm no einstien.

i thought long and hard about about seattle or green bay for picks this week, but i'm trying to get through the early parts of the season without calling in the big guns. gonna save them for later if i don't lose this week.

also i want so bad to pick eagles over steelers but i am saving them for week 15 or so when i plan to dance on ravensfan's grave after i take his rye whiskey in week 9.

i hope the steelers defense don't tear the rookie wentz in half this week. i hope philly sticks it in big bad ben's soft bum and breaks it off. but not enough to but on it, yet.

good luck all.

 

[burrocrat]

uh oh, i see almost half of the remaining field in the tsptalk pool took miami too... if there ever was a day ripe for a massive upset, this could be it. my local channels are showing the vikings/panthers and broncos/bengals so i will have to just catch updates here and there to see how this shakes out.

the philly game will be on later so i am pumped up for that.

 

[burrocrat]

oh fog, you picked a dog this week, hate to see you go but love to watch you leave.

on the other hand, i picked the miami mahi mahi's and they fumbled with 20 seconds left for overtime with the dingdangole cleveland browns the cleveland browns! in fieldgoal range! oh fork. just when you think you got florida figured out they go and do something totally unpredictable. kuh frikkin kuhrap!

 

[burrocrat]

dang you miami, thank you football gods, but you made me miss the start of the philly/pitt game, and for that i will never forgive you.

 

[burrocrat]

hooo wheeee! philly up 10-0. wentz a rookie you say? smart man, and a gunner. i especially liked the td celebration, tighten up your shirt and shake hands like a gentleman.

hey big ben, suck it.

 

[burrocrat]

hee hee hee, sproles runnin folks right out of their hamstrings. ha.

 

[burrocrat]

so how do you beat an old stud? you put in a fresh horse and let him run. hell yeah, go bison. wentz is hot **** and he has this team pumping. now do you believe?

so we got bumped and cbs now taking us to a 'more competitive contest', philly gots pitt waxed 34-3 and you takin us out of the hometown kid game. fu nfl. fu and your moneyball.

now i for sure will never buy your extra dollars package. fu. yay colts and chargers. such corksoakin bs.

boooooo!

 

[burrocrat]

yeah that is bullcrap. nfl started philly/pitt late to finish cleveland/miami so i miss half of the first quarter. then they cut us away from philly/pitt at the end of third quarter to experience a long drawn out penalty and injury festival to decide which of the colts or chargers is the biggest loser. total bullcrap.

i am turning my tv off and not logging in to nfl.com network until week 5 at least after philly's bye week. and only if they are showing the game. sure we're a small market but goldammit we just gave you the best quarterback out of the gate in a decade and you will be cashing in on that for a loooonnnggg time. and you cut us away? fu nfl. fu. i am calling my congresswoman.

Close, with Miami.

 

[FishSqueezer]

LOL

29 picked Miami over Cleveland, over half the remaining pool. I'm betting there were 29 shades of ;swear with 15 seconds left in regulation, and 29 shades of after OT.

I tried to warn everyone, but they got lucky and got away with it. :soapbox:

 

[burrocrat]

well i got the bengals tonight over the dolphins. i've had a bad feeling about it all day, but can't find another matchup this week i like better. i almost pulled the pick, but just found out i get nfl network with my regular cable and can actually watch it. gl all.

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Ha..... me too. So I'm in for the Bengal too. Its iffy. The other team I considered were the Cardinals. I am saving them for later, but based on last week's game, not sure why!?? I guess if I get knocked out, I'll shrug and go on. :laugh:

 

[burrocrat]

well i see that of the 10 who picked bengals this week, 4 are tsptalk poker club players. ha ha. either i am in fine company or we're a bunch of degenerate gamblers (which i also consider to be fine company).

 

[tsptalk]

I'm with ya. Dolphins looked so bad last week, despite their win.

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Well...I'm happy to see the Bengal are way ahead!! looks like we survive another week.... yes I know its not over until its over.... but I'm not sweating! :laugh:

Gosh... what is with those ugly orange uniforms!! I 've always liked Miami... but I like them in white or the pretty Teal!

i think it is national apricot week. maybe it's a promo for the fruit lobby. apricots make good jelly.

 

[burrocrat]

ok, ok, that wasn't very kind of me. it's not apricot jelly, they're toast. woot woot!
