Hmm, I must not be looking at the chart right because it doesn't look like you're in last place to me.

Edit: Duh, I just realized you meant 6-9 with this weeks games. I was looking at percentages and last place.

Darn, you were the one I had in mind when I bumped the thread. I noticed you hadn't picked after I put in my picks and went to see who picked what teams. Sorry, I should have sent you a PM reminder. Like Cruzer said, none of us did well this week anyway.

"that well" being relative. someone is in first!

edit: 10 right in a week is quite respectable.

edit2: better than i could manage.

Sheer luck on my part. Stupidity on the Eagles since I have to pick them.

BTW: I don't know much about you Mr. no1 but do you like to be smacked?

//SMACK//
I was hoping to make Josephus not feel like kicking himself in the balls for missing his picks this week. Therefore, I agreed with Cruzer's assessment because we all could have done better than we did.

Guess I shouldn't just have asked... do you like being smacked, but do you prefer it when a woman is in leather while delivering that smack.

It's time to do the picks, I can't do any worse than I have been doing. Decisions, Decisions.

LT is hurt. I should have waited until Saturday morning to do my picks.

Don't forget to make your picks!

yeah, standings for that week

Sorry cruzer... the blank pick was me taking too long. I've noticed it before and always logged in again before submitting, but I thought I'd see what happened this time.

I can't believe UT played Ohio so badly. Crompton is the worst QB I've ever seen.

Whoa! Bengals beat the Steelers?

STOOPID FAVRE! ARRRRRRGH! HULK SMASH!!!

Good soup; not so good quarterback.

You do not suck at football pick'em. I know why you are loyal to the Titans. You might want to rethink them.

I want to thank you for keeping up this thread for all us bubbas. I appreciate it. and I know everyone else is appreciative.

There's gonna be some tough picks this week!

Are we talking about the same tie? Not the football game but on our guessing on who would win. We tied this week.

jqubed wrote:'I didn't know you could have a tie!'

I have the same record as you!

Mighty early in the season to be talkin' about Champions!!

lplady wrote:Are we talking about the same tie? Not the football game but on our guessing on who would win. We tied this week.

No, just a little joking reference to Donovan McNabb last season win the Eagles had a game end in a tie. Of course, I think a lot of people who made fun of him for not knowing you could get a tie in the NFL, did not actually know themselves that you could get a tie in the NFL.

yeah, I was just talking about the past week's results. My dismal performance in Week 2 is going to hinder me the rest of the season... but I never thought I'd be able to win the whole game, anyway.

Oh, I missed that since I don't watch football often. I did know that a game couldn't be tied. I guess I'm not that bad if a NFL player didn't remember that rule.

Overtime During the Regular Season:

If the score is tied at the end of the fourth quarter in a preseason or regular season game, the two teams will play an extra 15-minute period. Each team will receive two time outs. If, at the end of the 15 minute period, neither team has scored, then the game will officially end in a tie.

Overtime During the Playoffs:

If the score is tied at the end of the fourth quarter in a playoff game, however, the NFL tie rules are somewhat different. The fourth quarter will be followed with a 15-minute overtime period, as in the regular season, but if neither team scores, then a second 15-minute period will be played. The game will continue in this fashion until there is a winner; in the postseason, there are no ties.

Sudden Death:

In order to avoid a tied outcome whenever possible, NFL rules dictate that overtime be played under sudden death rules. This means that the team that scores first wins the game, and that their opponents are not given a chance to answer with a scoring drive of their own.

Thank you! I meant to say yesterday that I did know a game "could" be tied. I wasn't aware until I read this that the rules are different for regular season and playoffs, interesting.

I knew you meant you knew. I just put that in to clarify for any others.
