i guess i always have been spoiled with two channels for every network, so when the ravens or redskins get blackout, i always have the other channel to see it on, with DC and Baltimore both competing in annapolis

Week 9 Picks chart is now posted in the Week 9 Picks thread. I'm really late getting to the board this time. Sorry! I got e-mails from most people. And I accepted posts for picks posted within 10 minutes of the deadline board time cause many games don't even kick off right on the hour, and even then aren't far enough underway to matter. I'm only doing this because the board was down. I won't be able to be as lenient with late picks under other circumstances. Please make sure even more this time around that you double check the chart to make sure I entered your picks correctly. I got e-mails through two different addresses, and some were in a slightly skewed order. I don't mind the skewed order, but since I had to concentrate a little harder to enter the picks, its also that much more possible for me to get distracted and enter a pick wrong too! LOL. There was one or two discrepancies between what someone posted here in the am and what was e-mailed me. So I went with what was posted here, as long as it was posted within the official deadline. It was also the later "time stamp" between the two sources. I only missed two people this week. So I think its fair enough to go ahead with making this week count. I've done every thing I can think of (including two game announcements in this thread) to make sure everyone has my e-mail address for just this very circumstance. I hope everyone is ok with how this went down this week. Please make sure you (and your team mates) have my e-mail address just in case this happens again! Once again, its whoamitvch@comcast.net

I was unable to do my picks for this past weekend because I was in the hospital. Is there any way my teammates can be credited for this so their standings dron't suffer?

First of all, I hope you're ok! That really sucks! It is a bit of a sticky wicket. While I certainly feel for you (and know this was beyond your control), I also cringe on tweaking the rules, since once I do, where do I draw the line? I know this was beyond your control, and wasn't a case of just getting too busy to remember. But again, where do I draw the line (and as wishy washy as I am, and being sometimes too lenient, I don't draw lines very well at all! LOL). Anyway, what I'll do is open it up to a vote. Lets have anyone who has an opinion either way e-mail me at whoamitvch@comcast.net (hoping that private e-mails will invite a comfortable atmosphere to voice your opinion). What I would do is remove you as a player for this week only (in the team competition). Your team's score for the week would be the average between the remaining two players. But, you'd still have to take a "0" for this week in the individual season average ranking. FWIW, the teams that this would affect the most (dropping them in either this week's ranking, and/or the Season Average ranking) are: When Pigs Fly, WhoTwinkedBR, Adven's Angels, and Leftovers. But of course I'll take opinions/votes from all players. I'll take votes/opinions through midnight on Sunday board time (which would give me time to tweak the Excel workbook for this thing before posting the next round of results). And, I'll go with whatever the masses say. Oh, and please let me know in your e-mail who you are (username) on the board! I had a bit of a hard time remembering who some of you were in the e-mails this past weekend! LOL.

Thank you so much Who! I was panicking about my picks, because we didn't plan to be out of town overnight and luckily the hotel had free internet. I couldn't remember my password here at tvch and panicked further. Thanks for including my format colors. LOL Love ya, Grace

OK, time to make a decision on whether to drop Redpen's "zero" pick/score from last week's team competition. Here is an excerpt from the e-mail I sent her last night (in preparation for announcing the final ruling here): The votes/opinions I got concerning whether we should drop your zero score from the team competition ended up fairly even, and so I guess I'll have to rule on my own. I guess I have to quote myself in a post I did early in the archives of this thread. You'll find that post dated Saturday, August 05, 2006 - 6:09 am. In that post I said: "This year, I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and be more strict about deadlines, and say a deadline is a deadline. The first couple of years I tried to be relaxed about it cause I hated to see people get excluded from the game when they just plain let life/time get away from them and didn't get early game picks in. That usually leads to tense feelings from other players, and I just want to avoid those kinds of things up front this year. So consider this an official warning. The only time I'll relax the deadline rule is if the NFL suddenly changes the schedule after I've posted the game open announcement for that week (for weather purposes or whatever might happen), and there's a chance of players not seeing that change of schedule in time. If/when that occurs, I'll likely handle it like I did when games were shuffled around due to Katrina last year." So, I guess I need to hold myself to my own words, and say the zero in the team score will have to stand. In the long run, it doesn't really put your team too far out of striking distance for the overall season ranking. And it can give you something to shoot for to move up in the ranks. Sorry about the ruling. But, if I do it for one I then have to do it for others, and then it becomes a mess trying to decide which situations are excusable and which are not.
