Football (NFL) USA

Looks like the Bears lost their starting quarterback Klye Orton, might be for the season. Do not know yet was injured in the last 2 minutes of the half.

Yeah no real news yet. Lucky for us who chose Chicago over Detroit. They pulled it off. The New York Football Giants are strong and hungry for that 2nd ring. Don't see anyone, but Tenn for now in their way and the Titans haven't played anyone like the G-Men. Very interesting year indeed for the NFL.

I can't believe how close the Chicago/Detroit game was. If da Bears didn't pull that one out they should hang their head in shame.

Living in the Carolinas, I have to root for DelHomey and the Panthers...I think they are a solid team. I also like the Bucs and the Eagles, even though Westbrook was a hold out for rushing this Sunday.

The argument for the Titans lack of opponents can be made all day, but they still remain the team to beat. With that being said, this is the first year of my entire life that I've ever watched footbal other than the superbowl ....but someone asked me to participate in fantasy football and I got the bug. I'm enjoying most of my Sundays being spent in front of the TV watching big hulking guys break bodies and running back and forth to the PC on each play to see how my guys are doing I'm suprised there isn't a FFB league here...maybe next year, count me in.

Funny how no one talks about the Super Bowl Champions. Almost as if it didn't happen. I talk to a cousin in Maine and they're still thinking the Patriots are top dogs. This I think is more the reason the G-Men have been stomping their opponents. I've already learned how the media will help misguide those unfortunate souls that buy into their nonsense about a particular team or w/e they're trying to push. It's like that across the board w/all sports. Well like they say, especially here in NYC, "It is what it is".

Dan is our week 9 winner with 11 right
He and uufta are now tied for first with 82, BR7 next with 81 and josie with 80

[dr_ml422]

I got 11 points also. There was no need for a tie break. Both came at 11 even w/the mnf game. How you figure that? A win for mnf even if tied makes you the week winner? Please explain. Thnx.

My bad I forgot to mention the tie between you and Dan with 11. Dan wins the week with the tie breaker by closest to the MNF score.

Wins come first, if a tie like you and Dan with 11, then the MNF score is used even if you didn't pick the MNF game winner. The final score was 23 to 6 for a total of 29. Dan picked 42 you had 48, Dan was closer to 29 so he gets the weekly win

[dr_ml422]

I got you now. Well looks like we start early this week w/Thursday's game. Pretty soon the SB. Can't wait.

[Dan]

Another great week, we tied yet again dr ml422. You can keep that up the rest of the season just keep me with you,lol.

Boy did I enjoy watching Big Blue put it to Dallas, talk about a sputtering offense, they couldn't do anything against that D.

Titans Packers game was good, and notice no big deal was made over the Pats and Colts game, that was always one of the biggest regular season games, now it's just another game.

[dr_ml422]

I'm going to have to stop trying to figure out the why's of people's actions. Psychology Major what can I tell you. That circus Jerry put together is sad. Good for us in the NFC East though. Lol... Matter of fact good for the whole NFC.

Forget about the Pats and Colts rah rah. The media will try to push anything towards the ratings even the SB. Got really tired of the whole Patriots/Brady thing. Glad that's gone for now. If that offensive line of the Steelers don't wake up Big Ben's looking at a short career. Especially w/defenses like the Giants, Ravens, Redskins and Eagles. Throw Tenn in there too. I never disliked the Packers just them awful color uniforms, but Rodgers has me convinced. They're going to be there soon. The Big Tuna is doing what he always does. Build champions. Really glad to see Miami on their way too.

Helluva year for the NFL. Really loving it right now, and if these Yankees don't start going in a different direction I will. Lol...

What's Culpepper looking for? Nirvana?

[uufta]

Congrats to dr_ml422 and everyone in double-digits WoW!!
This week looks like a trap week for sure..already changed a few, thats never good.

[dr_ml422]

Thnx. 1 sure pick hopefully is G-Men against Arizona. PITT's looking like they're holding on to their last breath, and Indy's back on track. Who knows what Dallas or Philly's going to do. Even Cinnci or Cleveland might surprise us. Crazy year.

These moronic chiefs at NFL headquarters want to change certain reviews on replays. unbelievable. Can't get it right on replay now want to replay it again. The old double work for nothing.

That's life. Mess around we might be seeing Favre in the SB. Too bad it'll most likely be against the G-Men... LOL...

Good luck to all this week.

[uufta]

Congrats jm1647

Way to go jm1647 and a very tough week to...


And everyone again did very well, we should all meet in Vegas..

[doctorhardware]

So who is going to win the superbowl just look into your crystal ball. I need to place a bet in vegas.

Right now barring some disastrous act of nature the way the G-Men are playing I'd say it's them. Even if it wasn't my team of choice. Look out though, because if the Jets get in we might see a helluva exclamation point to Brett's career as well as the Jets as they haven't won anything since Broadway Joe predicted a win over the Colts. G-Men have the whole package and that's w/out Jacobs and Burress right now.

That's a pretty clear crystal ball. How clear? Crystal!
