Mike is in the lead for week 4 with a score of 9 right and the low score so far is you with 5 right so far going into the MNF game. If me or anybody else missed getting their picks in, a score of 3 so far would be given. (Not counting the game tonight)

It is early in the season and a lot of teams are gonna wake up and hopefully the Eagle don't go to sleep. A traffic jam after 4 weeks in the NFC east with NY, Philly and the Skins going 2-2. Dallas had the bye. The Skins are 2-0 in the division.

Looking forward to a good game tonight

Jm I still don't see where you got the number 3 from? Are you adding the weeks that were picked before this week 4 which is 3? What's the formula that's all I'm wanting to know. Thnx.

I got Miami tonite! Hopefully they'll get it together against the Patriots. Anyone against the Patriots is good by me.

If somebody misses making all picks for the week they get the low weekly score - 2 points.

The low weekly score this week is 5 picks right for a weekly score of 5 points. So if me or anybody missed making the picks, 3 points would be given to them for not making picks. 5 points (low weekly score) -2 points = 3 points given for the week.

Congrats to Mike on his first winning week for week 4!

Mike got 10 picks right and 1 point for winning the week for a total weekly score of 11 points

uufta still at the top with a 5 point lead!!!

Another crazy game last night. A good game (a great game if ya picked NE ). KO returned for TD, 4 interceptions, blocked punt, blocked FG, a buncha good plays for a football fan

Week 5 picks are up

Good Luck to all !!!

[dr_ml422]

I got you now. What a blowout against The Fins. Have no idea where these teams are heading this season, even St. Louis is tricky at the moment.

Good Luck to all is right!

Mike the thrasher

Congrats to Mike for 10 right. I don't know how he did it. Maybe some of his mojo will rub off on me.

[Dan]

Yes, great picks last week Mike, congrats on your first win! Don't be afraid to spread that mojo around.

In other news........Moss is back with the Vikings, should be an interesting MNF game against the Jets.
(I can see you grinning from here uufta,lol)

[uufta]

GO TWINS, BURY THEM YANKS!!!

Congrats to Mike for 10 right. I don't know how he did it. Maybe some of his mojo will rub off on me.

@Tammie .. go across the room and rub him, see what happens

Congrats Mike!!!, thats enough now, you have had your fun

@Dan..I am just glad we got somebody quick, we will see what the future holds.

@ Dan .. Our Club had our annual International Corvette show, a three day affair at this

[uufta]

Nice! We have lots of little car shows around here, not surprised to hear some made it down there. Some amazing cars to look at for sure.

Pardon us if we don't shed a tear for you,lol.

Good luck this week all! (Favre and Moss press conference @ 2:15 today if anyone sees this in time)

[dr_ml422]

Twinkies are done! Well done!

@ uufta Sorry to bring you Twinkies' fans back to reality, though they are finished, and this not only coming from a Yankees fan, though one that also thought we were in for a helluva time this time, given how we more or less ended the season.

You knew I was coming sooner or later, so better now, I'm seeing Broom action. Have been wrong before so why not go all out anyway.

Well done! We took the heart outta you last night. Pavano better play like Doc from Philly, because he's not pitching again this series. They'll actually try to take him out he steps onto the field in The Bronx!

@ Dan and uufta Moss is a loser. I expressed this many times already, though I hope for the Vikes sake and Favre really, that he grows up and starts playing while keeping that mouth shut! Maybe he should just stop thinking, as the brain has to function before anything anyways.

New England is like the Yankees, Mets, and Giants, in that we don't tolerate nonsense no matter how good/great you are. You're outta there pronto, just ask Burress, Soriano, Cabrera, K-Rod and now Moss again!

Otn, hope schizophrenia doesn't kick in w/the G-Men and they transform back to last weeks debacle. Ooooooooouch, I can't even imagine what those QBs in Chicago are feeling.

@Jm Better ride that train w/the Phills while it's running strong. You'll need 4 no-hitters to stop us as well! If we do face each other, though any doubts I had about my Yanks were all but corrected. We're still the team to beat, and Jeter and A-Rod haven't joined the party yet.

Bring it on Boys! It's playoff time!


P.S. Doc is the man though. I watched that entire game and he was operating! They have to give him the CY Young this year. Anything less is a crime outright! Props have to be given when they are unquestionably due. No way around this at all!

[uufta]

Friggin Yanks, best team money can buy, cant wait for a salary cap to bring you guys down to earth.. 200 million$$$

Shocker if the Jets lose though...lol

Salary cap? No one really wants that, only when the Yanks win. When we lose everyone's happy. Mauer wouldn't be there w/a salary cap. Homegrown or not. I hear this all the time, and every team's owner is filthy rich. Just don't want to spend the dough. Reality is it's a business, so as long as their raking in at the gates etc... they don't really care about winning or losing. Our non-big players did the damage except for that Text Message. Believe me we're on earth. All teams are, even Philly.

I'm w/the Vikes this week no matter what. Think Jets are bologna not steak. Glad you posted it reminded me to make my picks.

dr - I ride all the Eagles, Phillies, Sixers and Flyers trains. Root for all them during the season. Don't watch too much of baseball and basketball during the season, more Hockey and wouldn't miss watching an Eagles game unless it wasn't televised or I was in a coma. During the playoffs I try not to miss a Phillies or Sixers game. Definitely wouldn't miss watching a Flyers or Eagles game. I wish all the Philly teams the best and root for them until the last out, basket, goal and score and never leave the train. Like I told ya last year with the Yankees to keep the faith 'cause it ain't over 'til its over. Same as this year. The Yankees didn't win the division but still have a shot. And like I said with the Eagles, winning the division is nice but the ultimate prize is the Super Bowl. Same for the World Series, Stanley Cup, and being the Champion in Basketball.

Now about $$$$$ in baseball - didn't know had to look it up

Sloppy BB game last night, 6 errors. The Phils got lucky last night with the Reds having 4 errors and 3 hit batters. I wondered about the shot to Rollins head, said hmmm. thankfully it hit his helmet, but what a better spot to hit a catcher than in the knee! I don't think Utley got hit but the ump said he did. I think Utley touched 3rd base and was safe at 2nd.

Good Luck to all whose teams are in the BB playoffs and in the pool this week

[Dan]

OK..back to football,lol. These Sundays get crazier every week, can't pick the games worth crap but they sure are fun to watch.

Nice to see Big Blue stomp the Texans, might have to pick against them more if they play like that. No telling what will happen tonight but should be a good one!
