((( Whoami ))) I so appreciate how much time you put in to running this game for all of us. With that in mind, I fully respect any decision you make! Thanks so much!

Twinkie - i am just speaking from my own view but just to let you know that as someone in the DC area who has not been around Buffalo radio stations which i am sure responded the same way to kevin as DC's radio stations have responded to Sean, I just wanted to let you know that i personally check on Kevin's condition every two weeks to see if there are any updates and he is someone i never knew about before he was hurt - and in that first week when he was hurt i was hanging on to every word and seeing if he would survive - and thought about the team - that being said, having someone on the brink of life and having someone dead are two totally different things - it will affect a team either way but if Sean was still in a coma or life support, at least the team still had that room to hope - just as we all still HOPE kevin will fully recover even if he never plays again - but we dont have that hope any more for sean - the tragedy is there for both teams but i think it is different when its someone dead on a tuesday morning versus not knowing that first week with Kevin ...

Who, how will his team play? How could any of us know? Do you think they will play better or worse? I know I couldn't predict it. But, I will abide by however you want to play the game because I really appreciate all of the work you put into it.

I support the sentiment, Who. As for knowing who and how good Sean Taylor was, let me just say that he was one of the top 3 players on the entire Redskin roster, and probably one of the top 2 or 3 safeties in all of pro football. I read he had some personal problems in his past, but all reports since his untimely death indicate that he had put his problems behind him and was on the way to a good long career and life. It is truly a tragedy, and I hope when everyone is watching the games this week, they'll take notice of what the NFL is doing before each game to pay tribute to Mr. Taylor.

I don't think I could predict how his team will play either Twinks. And I don't even want to try. I appreciate your understanding. Lycan, thanks for the info on Sean. Some of the stuff I'd read, but I didn't realize just how important to the roster he was.

Well shit hole. I'm not so happy about last night's game. Besides hating the Cowboys I am a big time Favre fan. They shall meet again in the playoffs maybe. I hope for some different results then

Brett will be fine, they'll meet again in the playoffs and the Packers won't have the injuries they have right now. KGB will play. Woodson will play. And they'll win. Then they'll play the Patriots in the Super Bowl and they'll lose. (hey, just gotta be realistic...) No really, he is fin though. McCarthy said in his press conference that Brett is expected to play next week for the Oakland game. I think that game's going to be enough of a breeze that they should just let Brett start (for the consecutive starts record), then rest him some more and let Arron Rodgers play for a bit. But it's Brett and if he can play, he will want to play. Cause that's just the way he is.

Hey, Who, any chance you could open the thread for this week's picks tonight? I'm leaving for FL tomorrow and if for some reason I can't get online down there I'd miss making my picks. I really appreciate all you do so if you can't I understand completely!

Having to make picks so early in the week means I'm just guessing because there is no time to research. My guesses aren't nearly as good.

Yea, I'm getting a little tired of these Thursday games too. And we have them in Weeks 15/16 too. Ugh. Maybe I'll look into splitting up the deadline for the next opening of picks (Week 15), just to see how it goes. I won't change it for the week already posted (week 14), since its already opened and picks have been submitted. So, I will consider splitting up the deadline for Week 15, but only if I get some feedback/ideas here. If nobody responds, I won't change it. Week 15 will be a test for deadline tweaking next year for sure, and maybe for the rest of this season. For Week 15, there will be games on Th/Sat/Sun/Mon. And I sure don't want to have 4 deadlines, that would be an administrative nightmare for me. So, how about two deadlines, maybe Thursday, and then Saturday for the rest? Or Thursday for the TH/Sat games, and Sunday for the rest? Please let me know what would be easiest for you in making your picks. And if you don't want to respond publically on the board, feel free to PM or e-mail me.

Sorry Twinks. Didn't see your post till just now. My tummy didn't much appreciate dinner last night, and they've been having an active disagreement since. While I waited for Mom to go to bed, I laid down on the couch hoping to sleep it off while tummy/dinner continued their argument. Anyway, I'm posting results pretty quick here, sans the recap pages, I'll have to update those tomorrow....

OK, results are finally posted in the Weekly Results folder. Congrats to Darclyte for taking his first win of the season! Great job! And congrats to Wild Cards for winning Week 13, making it their second win of the season. In the Season Average, Twinkie continues her lead in the Individual Rankings, and Free Spirits continue their lead in the Teams competition. Great work everyone! I'll post/update the recap pages on my webspace later, after I've slept off this disagreeable dinner, and then run around on errands and stuff.

Results for Week 14 are now posted in the Weekly Results folder. Congrats to Tater, who takes her first gold medal of the season by winning Week 14. Looks like the cute butts theory is working quite well! Twinkie continues her strong lead in the Season Average rankings. Can anyone catch her this season? In the Team competition, WhoTwinkedBR takes their fourth win of the season, and also manages to slip back into the lead for the Season Average Ranking!! Good work everyone!!
