YES, The league has determined that a wager was made. The winner is to recieve some sort of plaque/trophy from the loser. This award must mention the contest and acknowledge the winner has being a better capper on that weekend. "Hippo-Kramer Contest" must be mentioned - it's a licensing thing.

I'm thinking a poem is in order...:shrug:

You made your picks and I did fade,
There were many points that you laid,
But in the end I was best,
and you were square like the rest.

That's not bad. It would be nice if you included "John Q Public" and "chalk" somehow, but that is a very good first draft.

Ode to John Q Public

You made your picks and I did fade,
There were many points that you laid.

"The Bucs are mess" was the talk,
But you were delirious from all that chalk.

51 in Cleveland sealed your fate,
Sometimes it pays to playa hate.

This pic of Mr. Mel needs to be a reminder whenever someone thinks about stuffing themselves on chalk like our field of competitors did this week. That is the look of a dog who has yet to pick a winning side this season. Please - everyone - learn from this pathetic creature! GLUTTONY IS A DEADLY SIN!!:nono:

Mr. Mel is actually among the better performers this week.


See, it's just like I said earlier in this thread when I made my picks. This week was easy. Let's hope we can turn in just as many losers next week. Congrats to everyone :toast: except smurphy and bjfinste...not sure what they were thinking :mj07:

At least your Broncos still got the win. It took a canniving no good rat to get it done, but you sqeeked by.

Broncos gotta be the worst 2-0 team ever. They beat the 2 worst teams in football on the final play of the game.

I may have to continue fading them. But this week looks to be a no play because they are up against another great fade.

If you are referring to that loser Shanahan, I completely agree. I've always thought he was part rat.

However, I would be willing to make a wager that we are NOT the worst 2-0 team in the league right now, and that we will STOMP Green Bay on Oct 29 when they visit Mile High.

We just aren't letting our arsenal out full-strength right now. We didn't need to against those crap teams. Just testing the waters.

Just so you know, next week I am basing my plays purely on the three best looking quarterbacks in the league. Let's see how that does for me. It failed miserably in fantasy golf, but football is a whole nother game.



Oh man....is it basketball season yet?

lemme guess....ummmm

Jeff Garcia, Peyton Manning ....and hmmmm.....how about Kellen Clemens?

:nooo: :nooo:

Jeff Garcia?? :mj07: :mj07:

The first two spots were easily secured. I am still debating about the third one. I probably need a second opinion. Maybe ImFeklhr will help me, since you obviously have no clue!! For some reason, I am thinking he might be the best judge...:shrug:

Yeah, although he did 'move' some out the other day...he still isn't feeling great.

He's out, Bears in...that's it!

I think the committee will have to review this change. After all, it is stated in the bylaws:

One player must begin and finish the contest. There is no substitution due to extenuating circumstances such as constipation, dumbness, or general apathy.

I think it would be unfair to give up on Mr. Mel after just two weeks. Do you see me giving up?
