I believe I'm guaranteed winning a money spot because I haven't paid for the year yet. The way to handle the default issue is to make it the first tiebreaker--i.e., the fewest defaults wins. See you in the winner's circle.

It was a pleasure to do picks this year from the pacific rim. I think my success was directly related to my newly found yen (and yang).

Sorry about the HTD this week (my 1st btw), however I was in a small little town in Indiana called Hobart (Population 5??, including myself) and I don't think there was a computer within 100 miles....in fact their local library didn't even have one and in fact I did check :(

Ken D is in trouble. Lovely comments regarding the A&M game, but, as a long term wife, I feel I must mention that any man taking the time to point out that kissing his wife wasn't exciting is either brave or foolish. In this case I think the second applies.

Oh no! I picked the Jets this week! Why is that a reason for concern you ask? Well, I'll tell you why: I haven't picked them during their recent winning streak. My theory has been, why not pick against them, then I'll be happy if they won the game anyway. Another FBH loss? Who cares! What's a few more losses in a totally miserable season?

Well I'm tempting fate today. Pickin' my Jets. I think the Colts heard a lot of things this week about how great they are and will come back to earth a little. The Jets getting 7? I have to take'm.

I've been existing this long thinking the home teams were listed second. So, if it raises my status, I think all of my picks should be reversed. If it lowers my performance, forget it...no problem.

Hi to all. Love the home page this week. Love the sleek divisional alignments, especially the names. Congrats and hi to Kenny "sammy" d -- hope all is well w/my long-time Dallas pal.

You have a QB that can throw and run (let's just say he Huards the ball). I know he's still relatively untested, but maybe it's time to let Marino . . . I can't say it!!! Sob!!!

A hearty thank you to Rob the NFL Photographer Ghee for allowing me to help him on the field during the Monday night Jets/Jags game, and to the Shuppster for making the arrangements for me to get the field pass, and to the Academy for . . . It's a great experience, especially after the 7-hour hellish ordeal I went through getting to N.J. from Va. (2-1/2 hours to go 5 miles across the frippin Delaware Memorial Bridge !!!!!). I actually saw myself on the big screen at Hess Stadium.

The most remarkable part of being on the field was hearing how loud the fans can be (while the Jets had the Jags pinned near their end zone). It was so loud I couldn't even hear my own farts.

Looks like a couple of sucker picks this week. NE+2 1/2? Hope Flutie has his flakes before the game on Sunday. Also going against one of my basic tenets and taking the Rams. Jets can win with the point spread. Not only that, they will win outright. How's that for jetfan bullheadedness in the face of all evidence to the contrary? Love and peace to all. The Commish.

I'm doing so well this year as compared to say . . . my entire previous existence (except for THAT fourth place year). I fear that someone will catch on to my picking scheme of changing the team names into binary code, rationalizing that their real numbers, adding a number equal to the number of letters in the team's starting right tackles middle name, subtracting the numbers, then flipping a coin whilst gazing at a dark ale, thick in head (like me), from pouring the fine fluid straight to the bottom of the pint (none of this angle, dangle crap), giving it a rich, foamy froth that I smash into my face and quaff. Hmmmmmmmm!

I guess the home teams arent what they are cracked up to be:) I im in a fantasy league this year, which i have decided I will not do again, too stressfull, and it makes you look at the games differently, getting pissed off when they run a back in for a TD, instead of throwing a TD to YOUR man, or your starting QB gets knocked out for the season in the first game:( I will not be lazy anymore, and make all my picks, I only have about 25 wins to make up...last place isnt all that bad.

More importantly, Schtzupp and I are going on a motorcycle ride this weekend, then on to his place to watch the 3-0 Jets against the 3-0 Broncos. (You have now entered the Twilight Zone.)

Where's all that Broncos rule hoopla this year?

I think we'll spend Saturday night at Stoudts brewery in PA. I'm sure they won't kick us out at night, especially because sleeping on the back seat of a motorcycle is very uncomfortable.
