KDean75 must have found himself a new Magic 8-Ball as his 12-4 record was the best for Week 15.  Congratulations KDean75!  Red Reign sits atop the standings, a half of a percent ahead of Hawkwind.  In a bold move, cgolden tossed all his chips in hoping for a string of upsets to propel him to the lead.  Kudos for the ballsy strategy.  Do you think the Cards could take some hints from you?

DON'T FORGET:  NFL NETWORK IS DOUBLE-DIPPING THIS WEEK WITH A THURSDAY and SATURDAY GAME THIS WEEK!  BE SURE TO GET YOUR COLTS @ JAGUARS and RAVENS @ COWBOYS PICKS IN BEFORE THEIR RESPECTIVE KICK-OFF TIMES.

Weeks like this

Makes me a proponent of throwing out the best and worst weeks for everyone.

We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!

on the outside looking in

I’m roughly eight games back with two weeks to play. Gonna take some serious magic to make a run……

by cgolden on Dec 16, 2008 6:18 AM MST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

anything is possible

Hawk or Red Reign might pull a ‘golden’ and give us all a chance, then again they’re probably too smart for that.

by cgolden on Dec 16, 2008 9:13 AM MST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Golden sighting...

They’re becoming as rare as Leinart sightings these days! :-)

Who would win in a fight, Whisenhunt or a Hurricane?
Hold on, hold on, what if the Hurricanes name was Whisenhunt?
Daaaaaaaaaa Cards, Da Cards Da Cards Da Cards Da Cards!!!

Will be tough for anybody not named Hawk or Red Reign

The rest of us may just be in for a tight battle for 3rd place.

Apparently I need to start looking at other folks' picks so I don't repeat what I did last week...

…and pick the same games that RR picked. So what the ’ell, here we go, here we go, here we go:

Indianapolis (Damn, they have a head of steam building)
Dallas (Gah! I want to pick the Ravens but after seeing the ‘Boys defensive pressure, Flacco is going get killed)
San Francisco (Haven’t picked these guys in forever…oh wait, playing the Rams. Duh.)
Cleveland (Mulled this one over for awhile…but Cincinnati is only competitive at home against the NFC East?!)
Tampa Bay (The Gruden Scowl should be in full effect)
Miami (Phins playing for playoffs, so I have to quell my instinct to pick Chiefs…could be another mistake)
New Orleans (Did hevchv really pick the Lions or the Pistons?)
Pittsburgh (No Haynesworth? Steelers gunning for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs?)
New England (Sorry, this isn’t an NFC West opponent…Cards suck ass against the rest of the league)
NYJets (I smell another upset here but…playoffs on the line)
Houston (Have the Texans finally gelled? Forget what I said last week about them. Cards vs. Texans, SB XLIV!)
Denver (Kinda like to see them lose and the Chargers win just so there’s an equivilent suck-ass team in the AFC)
Atlanta (Vikings reawoke a long hibernating hatred of them last week. Fuck the Vikings. Go Falcons!)
Philladelphia (Andy Reid, please come motivate the Cardinals the same way you did the Eagles!)
CAR @ NYG pending further data on Jacobs availability…I have until 5PM local Sunday to make a decision…I’ll wait
Chicago (Gah, I hate the Bears too but….go Bears! Take the crown from the Vikings!)

We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!

As of Dec 16, 2008 @ 6:49 AM? Oh, it's ON RR!!! :P

Yeah, nice NYG pick 1min before kickoff

Very convenient

Does it really matter?

Neither the Lions nor Pistons have won on a Sunday this season. Something has to give.

IND – jacksonville will not stun the colts again.. even if theyre at home this time.
DAL – resurgent dallas will charge into the playoffs with another victory.
CIN – toss-up really.. both teams stink.
NO – sorry lions. not this week.
PIT – steelers proved they could beat the ravens and they’ll stun the titans on the road.
MIA – pennington (possible afc mvp candidate) will lead the way.
SF – even without frank gore, niners will prevail.
ARI – cardinals playing in foxborough for the 4th seed. score will be real high.
TB – bucs too much for the chargers.
DEN – jp losman looks lost, man. (awesome joke)
HOU – i love matt schaub.
SEA – qwestfield still one of the hardest places to play. seneca wallace will upset the overrated jets.
MIN – vikings have been rolling lately. williams twins will shut down turner.
PHI – redskins are spiralling down the toilet.
NYG – winner gets the #1 seed.. and giants will stay number 1 after this one.
CHI – bears will win by 100

Dodgers - 2008 NL West Champions
Cardinals - 2008 NFC West Champions

ARI – cardinals playing in foxborough for the 4th seed. score will be real high.

I’m pretty sure the Cards are a fourth by default because they are division champs. They can’t go down, only up.

hail mary ........ Doug Flutie style!!

you know that kid on your high school b-ball team who just kept throwing up 3-point prayers no matter how many bricks and air balls he shot…….well here I go:

IND – no contest
BAL – They knock Romo out early and upset Dallas in the last game at Texas Stadium
CIN – the Brownies are really hurting with Dorsey at QB
DET – They finally win a game since NO is officially eliminated and Bush is gone for the season
ARI – Winning on the East Coast? What a concept
PIT – They win and clinch the #1 seed in the AFC
SF – They’re playing much better and STL just wants the season to end
KC – They blew it last week but they finish the game this week and get the W
TB – Tampa’s got too much for the Not-so-Superchargers
DEN – easy pick
NYJ – I still don’t like them but they’re better than the Hawks
HOU – If only they could throw out the first month of the season
MIN – TJ proves he’s more than just a Cardinal-killer
PHI – hottest team in the NFL? maybe, but even if they’re not, they’re better than the Skins
CAR – hottest team in the NFL? maybe, we’ll find out
CHI – still alive in the North but they have to win out

Great upset pick with Baltimore!

What a game that was! I’m just hoping you keep the drive alive with the Cards in NE!

Modification #1...Weather Happens...changes in bold

Indianapolis (Damn, they have a head of steam building)
Dallas (Gah! I want to pick the Ravens but after seeing the ‘Boys defensive pressure, Flacco is going get killed…or the RB will kick the ’Boys asses!)
San Francisco (Haven’t picked these guys in forever…oh wait, playing the Rams. Duh.)
Cleveland (Mulled this one over for awhile…but Cincinnati is only competitive at home against the NFC East?!)
Tampa Bay (The Gruden Scowl should be in full effect)
Kansas City (-25° F with the wind chill, coldest game ever in Dolphin history…go Chiefs!)
New Orleans (hevchv, you’re not alone in picking Detroit…I just cannot afford a cute pick at this juncture.)
Pittsburgh (No Haynesworth? Steelers gunning for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs?)
New England (Sorry, this isn’t an NFC West opponent…Cards suck ass against the rest of the league)
NYJets (I smell another upset here but…playoffs on the line)
Houston (Have the Texans finally gelled? Forget what I said last week about them. Cards vs. Texans, SB XLIV!)
Denver (Kinda like to see them lose and the Chargers win just so there’s an equivilent suck-ass team in the AFC)
Minnesota (Falcons’ run-D ranked 23rd, Vikes’ 1st…even down one Williams I have to go with the hated Vikes)
Philladelphia (Andy Reid, please come motivate the Cardinals the same way you did the Eagles!)
NYGiants (Delhomme on the road is freaky…Giants D is freaky)
Chicago (Gah, I hate the Bears too but….go Bears! Take the crown from the Vikings!)

This is my Bludweiser Blood Bowl League of America’s eighth championship weekend and the house will be full rooting for either the Placerville Pixies or the US Swordsmen…so I don’t expect to have many chances to chime in with the game thread. Enjoy the game folks, as best as you can.

We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!

Convenient changes once I make my picks

The lead either grows or switches hands. I’m sticking with my gut. My money is on the Placerville Pixies. Those Hillpeople are tough SOBs.

Well duh, RR. I'm playing from a trailing position, there has to be separation one way or the other

So how did Placerville do?

I DVR’d the Grant/Poly game, but can’t wait to watch a Sac team battle.

Looks like I built a small lead with my Cin, Atl and Mia picks.

Oi, what a wild week.

Holiday/fantasy football party has degraded to Randy Romulans (blue mixed drink that knocks you on your ass) and Guitar Hero III here…I see I’m blowing chunks so far so congratulations to Red Reign.

Seahawhs won? Wow. Atlanta won? Outfox myself.

Currently it Pixies 75 Swordsmen 73 with Steve Smith in play for the Swordsmen. Tomorrow, Pixies have Bears’ D and Swordsmen have Brad Maynard. Yes, we use punters. Long story. If Pixies hold out to win, it will be the first non-Moot Division team to win in seven years. Go Pixies!

I held on to win

my fantasy league. Boom Got Them Tho came back in the afternoon games and beat Slap Ass 131-127.

How the hell do you use punters?

I love the smell of commerce in the morning

by Red Reign on Dec 22, 2008 6:46 AM MST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

1 pt per kick
+1 pt inside 20
+1 pt inside 10
-2 pt for touchbacks
-4 blocked punts
Total net average give penalty/bonus based on scalar.

Andy Lee was the #1 punter last year, I’ve lost track this year. Shane Lechler most likely.

We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!
