Thanks Who, Mocha, and GrannyG!! I was leaving to "doggy-sit" for my friends 24 (but they took 3 with them, so only 21) doggys, so I rushed to make my picks. Maybe from now on I should just pick without thinking and I'd do better.

Good Luck everyone and thank you so much Who for ANOTHER fun season!!!

HOOO HOOOO!!!!

ANNOUNCEMENT


In past seasons, we sometimes have an issue with deadlines, what with some people who end up with something that gets in the way of getting picks in on time. In the past, you get an automatic zero score for that week, which gets factored in to your season rankings.

This year, I have a few remedies for that.

• At your request, I can place you on a distribution e-mail list. When each Game Open announcement is posted, I will send an e-mail with a link to that week's Game Open announcement/Weekly Picks thread, and a reminder of when that week's deadline is. This distribution list is set up so each recipient's e-mail address remains private and "unviewable" to others on the list. All you need to do is e-mail me at FBPoolGame@comcast.net and request to be added to the list. Remember to tell me who you are, and which board you are playing on (as I use this address for all 3 boards I'm running this game on), so I can add you to the proper list.

• In the event of a board outage, you may e-mail your picks to FBPoolGame@comcast.net. Again, remind me who you are, and which board you are playing on. Please only use this option if you are unable to place your picks on deadline day. Please make a note of this e-mail address, and have it handy in case you can't access this site on deadline day.

• In the event of your own ISP being down on deadline day, you may text message your picks to my cell phone. PM or e-mail me with a request to have me send you my cell #, so you can have it handy just in case. As usual, your text message should tell me who you are, and the board you are playing on.

• And finally, a new rule/feature to this year's game:

Every regular player gets one BYE week allowed during the Regular Season (The BYE week is not available during the Post Season). The BYE week can be used at the player’s discretion, but only during a week you weren’t able to submit your picks in time for whatever reason. In other words, you can't go back and declare a BYE week once you see your picks for the week really sucked.

The score you receive during your BYE week would be 90% of the lowest ranking person’s score for that week. So, while you still have the benefit of a score that can keep you in the season long running, its impossible for a forgetful person to outscore someone who got their picks in on time.

Using/not using your BYE week becomes another strategy play. For instance, if you forgot your picks, but the lowest person’s score is only in the 20’s, it may be more worth your while to save your BYE week for another time when scores are higher, and should you anticipate needing another time to use it. If you choose to save your BYE week for another time, then you would get the usual zero for that week like in previous seasons.

The deadline to declare you are using your BYE week would coincide with the deadline for submitting picks during the following week of play. This will give you a chance to see the posted scores for the week, and decide if its worth your while to use your BYE week.

You must take it upon yourself to declare you are using your BYE week by posting that declaration in the Weekly Picks thread you intend to use the BYE week for. I can’t be chasing people down to ask them if they want to use their BYE week. If you don’t declare you are using your BYE week by the deadline, then I will assume you have chosen to save it for another time, and your score for that week will remain a zero.

Once you use your BYE week, it is no longer available. If you forget your picks again, then your score for that week will be a zero.

Well, this is the first year I was able to keep up every week for the pre-season. I choose to view this as a good sign that I may be able to keep up every week during the regular season. Thanks for all the effort, Whoami, that you put into this.

Pssst, NC, you need to finish your pick for Game #1 (New Orleans at Indianapolis). You have them both listed down. Sorry, you can only pick one.

The chart with everyone's picks is now posted in the "Weekly Picks: Regular Season-Week 1" thread.

Please review your picks on the chart to make sure I entered them correctly.

The following people didnt' make a clear pick for the game indicated, so that particular game for that person will show up as a "no pick."

Nightcrawler: Game#1 New Orleans at Indianapolis
Grannyg: Game #11 Detroit at Oakland

Its sure a good thing you are Twinks, cause I'm dragging our team right down to the bottom of the ocean.

In fact, I'm sinking so bad, I need a life raft....

10 wins so far at my count with 2 to go...not too shabby, but not as good as I'd hoped

Could everyone please keep Kevin Everett of the Buffalo Bills in their prayers? In yesterday's game he suffered a "catastrophic" (as descibed by his doctor) spinal cord injury. He's paralyzed and is on a breathing machine. He's only 25 years old.

Oh dear! I didn't see that part of the game Twinkie. I only watched part of it. Thanks for letting us know, and consider him in our prayers.

Thanks, Who. He's in the same hospital I go to for the diabetes clinic near my house. Lots of team members and family there all day today. He's in very serious condition. Basically the same kind of injury Christopher Reeves had. Such a young guy at the start of his pro football career.

ETA: The injury happened right after halftime at the start of the third quarter. He went down face first and never moved again.
