IONTOP Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Did you send a dirty photo of yourself along with the $20 buy in? Halfway... Should I really send the money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IONTOP Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Im not really sure on how to go about doing this? Meaning, save teams like San Diego, Indy, and New England for later or pick them early to ensure a win. If you take them early, you kinda screw yourself for later weeks, but if you take a chance on a team that should win but isn't a power house and lose you're done. Do you guys try to do any strategy? Like do you look ahead the next week to see who is playing and decide "oh, ill save them for next week." You've gotta take the obvious (NE/Dallas) for the first couple of weeks, because last year the Browns beat the Bengals in the first week...

Springfield Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I just went with what I figured would be an obvious win. Obviously the Rams aren't really doing too hot this season. Therefore, I picked the Eagles. I'll be beating up on teams like the Dolphins, Falcons, Raiders and possibly the 49ers later on in the season.

Heidenreich Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 I just noticed that one of the names in the pool is Dikembe Mutombo One of my idiot friends. I've been running this pool for seven years now. Two times I did well. (I consider well being past the 10th or 12th week). The year when I played as myself, James Cariello, people accused me of cheating, even though the website clearly shows who the pick was every week. The second time, when I was Steve Sanders, nobody complained. So to battle whiners, I started the "fake name" trend, which unfortunately has caught on a little too well. Which is why you See Dikembe Mutombo, or (still to come) Hannah Montana, or John McCain. Hmm... My name isn't on the list yet... am I in and did you get my pic? You are in, and I did get your pick. I'm riding out the tropical storm today by building this website. I have another 250 people to add in. Did you send a dirty photo of yourself along with the $20 buy in? It would be appreciated if this practice would stop. No matter how dirty the picture is, you still won't get any buybacks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjTj Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Oh well, there goes $21. Thanks Norv. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUforREDSKINS Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Oh well, there goes $21. Thanks Norv. :doh: A lot of people had that pick. So far looks like about 80 of the 458 are done. Thank you Pitt (and phllthy) EDIT: OK bears win. Looks like 1/4 of the pool is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVUforREDSKINS Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 OK. This week I will take NY and Washington. Now that I see how many people are out, we should win this game by at least 7. Go Skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUforREDSKINS Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 This might not last as long as they usually do because there isn't really a safe pick anymore. Philly looks good and so does Dallas but with NE losing Brady.. ya really never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Crap - I took Philly and Detroit last week, I'm out $21. Hopefully I can let it ride. I went all day Sunday thinking I had picked Detroit and Seattle, and I was REALLY pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrockster21 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I can't believe how many donkeys picked the Chiefs last week. Yeesh - they are the worst team in football right now!! And WVU - congrats on being the one person to pick the Skins. I'm going to save them for when we play St. Louis though. Although, I will say I almost picked the Skins this week - but I decided AZ over Miami was too much of a lock to not take them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUforREDSKINS Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 yea i've been in touch with him. Thanks though. I had a gut feeling on the skins. I picked them, changed to seattle (who lost), then went back to the skins. Always go with the gut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrockster21 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I'm still in - Cardinals over Miami was a lock last week. This week I'm torn between two games, have to make my decision soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really tempted to take ATL at home this week vs KC, but im not sold on them. This is probably the most points ATL will be favored by all season (5 1/2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably the most points ATL will be favored by all season (5 1/2) Yeah, I'm torn between Atlanta over KC and Cincy @ NYG. KC has some complete unknown starting at QB, Thigpen or something. That could be either really bad or really good for them. And Cincy is god awful this year, but the Giants play poorly at home - the perfect set up for a rebound game for Cincy. Arggghh! Seattle is also a good one, but Bulger is going to abuse their porous secondary I think. But if any team is going to get Seattle's offense going, its the Rams defense. Hmmm...
