I've got a feeling that the Colts will win the Super Bowl!

I think they have antibiotics for that feeling, KL.

Nah- the Packers. Brett's gotta make a splash in his final (or next to final) year. He's got a bunch of records to break before he retires.

This is the look Brett might give to respond to that....

Man, this has been a great game. I can't believe I am talking to myself in here. Isn't anyone else who is online watching it or am I the only one that pathetic, ROFL! This is football, people!

OH MY GOD!!! These turnovers are killing me! I can't believe that James just lost it at the one yard line!

YAY PATS! I am one-up on my BiL! Congrats Pats fans! Good game, Colts. Wow, that was an awesome football game. I can finally go to bed. I really thought it would go into overtime. Whoosh!

<Good thing I like my own company, huh? >

That's pretty funny Hermione! You're keeping good company (with yourself).

I missed tonight's game but maybe I'll catch you in here another night.

It was an excellent game, but I only watched the second half because I was hoping Andy Roddick would pull out a victory in the US Open quarters. No such luck.

How many football fans do we have here?

Back when I was a real life working stiff, we'd run an office pool where each player had to guess the winner of each game, and the one who got the most right would win the pool.

I was thinking of doing some sort of game like that here (sans money and prizes of course) if anyone was interested.

Of course, we've already missed tonight's game, and it may even be too late to set up something to start with Saturday's game. But maybe we could just all observe this week's games to size up the teams, and then start our pool/game/poll (or whatever we want to call it) starting with next week's games?

I'd suggest a format like this (using this week's games as an example): Also, how each player gains points I'll put in red.

Guess the winner of each of these games (two points each)
Thursday, Sep. 9
1. Indianapolis at New England
Saturday, Sep. 11
2. Tennessee at Miami
Sunday, Sep. 12
3. Arizona at St. Louis
4. Baltimore at Cleveland
5. Cincinnati at N.Y. Jets
6. Detroit at Chicago
7. Jacksonville at Buffalo
8. Oakland at Pittsburgh
9. San Diego at Houston
10. Seattle at New Orleans
11. Tampa Bay at Washington
12. Atlanta at San Francisco
13. Dallas at Minnesota
14. N.Y. Giants at Philadelphia
15. Kansas City at Denver
Monday, Sep. 13
16. Green Bay at Carolina

Bonus Question: Guess the total score of the Monday Night Game...
Exactly Correct: 25 points
Within 5 points: 20 points
Within 10 points: 15 points
Within 20 points:
More than 20 points off: no score


Each week, each player would submit their choice for games 1-16, and the total score. And each week we'd then post everyone's results with maybe a weekly score, and a cumulative score.

And then of course, when the playoffs come around, we can come up with a similar scoring system there too. And of course for the Super Bowl.

I don't know if it would be worth our time and effort if say, maybe only 3-5 people are interested. But if we get 6 or more, it could be worth it. Also, since I'm the one that brought up the suggestion, I'd be more than willing to run the game for us. But I've never done something like this before (though I've played the Survivor, Big Brother and Amazing Race games), so I'll admit I'm a bit nervous. With that in mind, if someone was really wanting to run this game themselves, I wouldn't mind one bit. But I'm not about to suggest it, and then say "okay, now someone else run it." In summary, I'm willing to run it, but wouldn't mind if someone else wanted to take over.

Tell me all what you think. And if there's enough interest, we can start a thread devoted to the game. Probably best if we play it in this existing folder.

Hmmmm I usually only bet on football when there's money involved but this sounds interesting. I'll play. I suggest you not use point spreads though to make things easier.

And Who if you really don't want to then I can do it. I ran the one at work for a few years.

Cool! So far that makes four of us. I wonder if I can get KTBB and Grumpy in here? They are both so busy working 60-70 hour weeks, they rarely have time to get on the computer at all. But maybe with a little prodding and stuff. I'll call them tonight. I wonder if we can rouse Fanny into playing?

In the meantime, my personal opinion is we should probably go ahead and start with week 2. That gives people time to sign up. And gives us a chance to size up the teams for this year.

Mocha, I can sure give it a try to run it. I haven't run a game here ever, so that's one reason why I'm a little nervous. If you really would like to take it over though, please be my guest. Or we can try running it together. Another reason I get nervous committing to something like this is I sometimes just don't know what's around the corner in my life, but I know the same can be said on your end.

The other reason is, I haven't really followed football closely in a few years. I haven't even watched a Bronco game in full in a few years. But that has more to do with our household being under orders not to turn the game on, since it seems like every time we do they lose. But I think that will only affect my playing the game, not running it.

I don't know if its us, or our TV. But when KTBB was dog sitting during the Long Beach Gathering last year, she turned on the game here, and they started losing! We sort of wondered if my grandma had something to do with it. She hated our fanatic following of the Broncos, mostly cause one day she called and had sort of rambled on for an hour. When the game was about to start, we made the mistake of telling her we needed to get off the phone cause the game was starting. Oh boy! She retorted with, "well, if you care more about the stupid Broncos than me...." After that, right around kick off time, she'd call and innocently start off with, "oh hi, how are you. Whatcha doing....?" We got this tv from her when she passed. We wondered if maybe she jinxed or haunted it somehow to affect the Broncos if we watch the game on this tv.

Geeze! Talk about rambling on here! LOL. Well, hopefully we can get a few more people. Sounds like fun. Everyone ok with starting with week 2?

Rofl Who, great story. And if you like I'll just be your backup and you can just yell when you need me? Week 2 sounds great for me.

LOL, I just noticed up there I didn't say how many points you'd gain if you were within 20 points correct of the final score! It would be 10.

Also, Gidget, I don't think I have it in me to cover point spreads. I know I'd get way too confused over time. I'd rather just keep it simple, since its my first try at this.

Mocha, sounds good to be a backup. I'll undoubtedly need it! Thanks!

Anyone have a clever name to call this game? So we can start its own thread?

I'd love to play but I'm going to be busy with a little peanut for a while. Until her mommy has had enough of me. LOL

And besides, since Dannyboy retired I don't have much hope for my team, the Dolphins.
