NICK! How DARE you! Of all teams to go against!

Well, you weren't here last year when I suggested at the beginning of the game that picking against the Broncos could get you some penalty points.....

Soo....If you're sure you want to do this. I guess I won't hold it against you.

However, if you jinx my Broncos by changing your pick, be prepared to

Well Who, I thought Dallas would pull it out....I had a feeling that Dallas could do it, and they almost did. That's one thing I hate about Pro Overtime, ninety percent of the time it all depends on which way the coin falls. We could always pretend that I never changed my pick, dontcha know.

Dallas should have won today. Parcells has been kicking booty because of their sloppy play and penalties, even when they win. Plus they were playing on their home field. (Seems like every time there is OT the team I pick goes home a loser!) I agree, Nick, the coin toss has to be a big percentage of the outcome.

Well I made a mistake. I picked Atlanta on my paper and erased it on my picks showing Detroit, darn it. That'll teach me to double check, won't it.

Is Michael Irvin gonna start doing stand-up comedy? He's pure gold!
Former Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin was charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia after Plano police officers searched his vehicle during a traffic stop.

Irvin, an ESPN analyst and semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, told The Associated Press late Sunday that the drug pipe found in his car belonged to a friend of 17 years who left a Houston rehab center and came to Irvin's house in Carrollton for Thanksgiving. Irvin wouldn't reveal his friend's name.

Irvin said he put the pipe in his car because he didn't want it in his house where his children might find it. He said he planned to drive somewhere the next day, like a grocery trash bin, and throw the pipe away but forgot. [...]

In 1996, Irvin pleaded no contest to felony cocaine possession in exchange for four years of deferred probation, a $10,000 fine and dismissal of misdemeanor marijuana possession charges. Irvin said Sunday he's always been transparent and open about his issues in the past, and now wants to help others through those same problems. [...] link
What's next, "take my wife....please!"? This guy has a gift for comedy that only comes along once a generation. I can't wait for his next five minute moralizing sermon about Ricky Williams....although this does sorta explain how he formulated the opinion that the Eagles might be undefeated if they had Favre as QB. LOL! Quelle hoot, Michael Irvin!

I thought it was T.O. that said the Eagles would be great with Brett Favre.

Oh he did, but only after Irvin, in his infinite wisdom, said it first on the Dan Patrick's ESPN radio show. The interview with T.O. went something like this: "Another wide receiver, former Cowboy Michael Irvin, said on ESPN this weekend that the Eagles might be undefeated if they had Brett Favre as quarterback. What do you think about that?"

And T.O. was just silly enough to answer the question affirmatively.

i heard Michael on Dan Patrick today - and Dan was NOT soft on him even with how good friends they are and right now I totally believe Michael - and i say that as someone who finds any reason to despise any and all about the Cowboys. I just saw no holes in his story and until there is other evidence, I see no reason not to believe him. He didnt forget about the pipe - the friend came over on thanksgiving, michael even patted him down before coming inside since even with rehab he knew how much the friend was struggling and didnt want anything in the house - he found the pipe (no drugs in it) put it in the car to throw away later since too many people search his own trash - he had a good thanksgiving and fell asleep and then the next morning he goes out to the furniture store with his wife, gets pulled over for going 70 in a 55, there is a warrant for an unpaid ticket that michael thought was paid so he agrees to go down to the station and pay whatever fine - and they find the pipe when they looked in the car and that too was just a case of going down to the station and paying the fine etc for having it in his possession. Wife knew about him helping the friend but didnt know of the pipe in the car the day before. It seems legit to me - who would have energy to go drive to a dumpster to throw away the pipe after thanksgiving dinner - and its not like he is trying to cover for his friend - he is the one that set him up in rehab and is trying to help him and that means being there when the friend might slip - and it means taking away anything that might help the friend use drugs, so I also see nothing wrong in planning to throw away the pipe. Michael should know all too well how hard it is to rehab and he is doing what he can for the friend while protecting his family. The only other thing that would be good is to take a drug test but Michael may not be a full time employee of ESPN so it may not be required.

Regardless, for once, (gulp) i am on his side in this until more is proven to show otherwise.

Michael Irvin has always been a deceiver. And I'm a Cowboy loyalist. The pipe they found in his car was a "crack pipe"...I don't beleive Irvin's on crack, so that may belong to his friend(brother), but the Pot bags found as well, probably indicate that Mike is still smoking weed. He's no saint, and I'll never hate the guy...he just lives a different life than most people.

Who, although I appreciate all the help I can get, maybe I don't understand exactly how the bonus points work, because I think you gave me too many on question 2.

Hi Grace!

Looks like you got the right amount of bonus points. The Monday night score was 26-7, which totals 33. You guessed 55, which was 22 pts off of the actual score. BQ#2 is worth 25 pts, minus the variance of your score from the actual score. 25 minus the 22 you were off is 3.

I'm glad you all keep an eye on this! Once the formulas were all set up in the Excel workbook I use (thank you Dra for setting that up for me last season, I only had to tweak it a bit this year for some of the new scoring), I'll admit I just rely on the formulas to work. I'd be up all night if I manually checked all the formulas (not to mention having the formulas would be rather moot if I went back in and manually checked them all!). I do spot check it once in a while at least (the old Quality Control Inspector coming out in me) !

Anyway, since human error is always possible (like when I entered the wrong total points for the Monday Night game a couple of weeks ago), its great to have folks double checking their scores to make sure I enter things correctly.

Who, it says above that deadline is Saturday, December 4. But there are no games on Saturday, and December 4 is Sunday, so I think you meant Sunday, December 4. Is that correct? Just checking! Thanks for all you do to keep this game going.
