i'm picking on cleveland again, like a schoolyard bully, until they show some strength. i got patriots for the win. that being said, i hope brady gets his butt cracked and taken out on a cart, i hate that guy. new england will still win.

Gosh...First turnover this season... fumble. now 2 minutes left... uggh. All they had to do was not fumble... even just kick it away. ugghh ... I'm a goner!!!

 

[burrocrat]

dogs loose, dogs loose, run. free.

watch this. faith.

 

[burrocrat]

sob. tossed a bomb. look at the penalty ratio and watch that replay. wwf/nfl. it's ok. now he knows how to play it. rigged.

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

OMG... I can't believe it! By a miracle, I think I am still in it. I picked Pittsburgh over NY Jets.... not Philadelphia over the Lions! I forgot I had changed my team!!! yeah!!!!

That game did not play here but looking at highlights now. What the heck are the Steelers wearing?? They look like bumblebees!!! lol.... :laugh:

So I survive to go on to Week 6 ...Woo Hoo!!!

 

[burrocrat]

hate to see you go, love to watch you leave.

 

[burrocrat]

tease.

 

[jpcavin]

Cat got skinned tonight. Bummer.;swear

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

Nooooooooooooooooo....

 

[tsptalk]

Wow, someone picked the Chargers last night despite being a 3.5 point underdog. Interesting pick that worked out.

 

[burrocrat]

oh, this is a tough week to pick. i've already used ravens, steelers, dolphins, bengals, and patriots, so some of the easy choices are off the table for me. but on the bright side i still have most of my fast horses in the barn, unfortunately they are all in tough races tomorrow.

hmmm, i want to pick titans over browns but i feel really bad about rubbing the little brown's nose in the playground gravel multiple times already this season, nobody likes a bully and they might just fire one up. packers over cowboys is next choice, but don't ever stand in the way of a hot underdog with a rookie playing for the time of his life, these situations often produce almost unimaginable performance and inspiring desire.

so i think i'm going with bills over forty-niners, although the physics of the game escape my reasoning capabilities. they say kneeling fro bro is going to start, but how does this... fit into this... i just can't wrap my helmet around it? we shall see i guess.

side note, for anybody who plays in the poker club, you know that at 7:30 every other monday night i pause and do not play my cards until the anthem is finished, i choose to stand with my hand over my heart and sing the words in my head, even if i'm holding aces, out of gratitude, because that is how i was raised and what i do. so i hope sf takes it hard in the shorts tomorrow, and i'm willing to bet my tsp football pool future on that happening.

 

[DreamboatAnnie]

You might consider "fro bro" has something to prove...might out perform. Be careful with that pick donkey!
But I Hope he trips and karma hits him hard....

Kaepernick took out insurance policy before renegotiated deal - NFL.com

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick put himself in position to start this week when he signed a reworked contract that, among other things, took away his injury guarantees for 2017. The change means San Francisco won't be on the hook for his $14.5 million base salary in the event of a major injury.
But Kaepernick did protect himself just in case.

who takes out an insurance policy before they roll? only those who expect to crash.

if you drive for all the marbles then you expect to win, and insurance is meaningless at the finish line. if you drive for all the marbles and lose, then insurance is meaningless because you are already dead. only losers buy insurance. sf gonna lose, kaperfro already telegraphed it the whole way.
