For the first time, I'm actually going to be intelligent and just make a selection for every single game right now. Because I always miss at least half a day's worth of games at some point.

Every year I think about doing that, but I rely on picks being unmade to know which I've thought about and which I've defaulted to.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I suspect that you do.

And who doesn't have a Yahoo account nowadays! There's no reason to actually need one here in 2016, but I figured half the population of the planet got one 10 years ago.

In the meantime there's still a pretty poor turnout.

Pleased to see Reapsta sign up. Hadn't seen the dude in ages. I'll assume that the 59ers are Bosk. I have a guess who legalize ranch is, but probably not best to speculate.

Might be the last time I get to say that I'm in second place, one game out of first.

And that I'm tied with six other contestants.

Man, I completely screwed this thing up yesterday. I imported my picks from my money league, I remember doing it, but presumably didn't hit save, or moved away from the page before the save happened. Shame, too. I had a good week.

Eh, Rattlehead has been running away with it anyway.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...  not so fast.  Some of you might have noted that Stadler has knocked the shit out of it over the last two weeks (including calling the TB/Caroline game).    I believe I've jumped from "Suckage" up to tied for second in the space of two weeks.    Though, of course, now that I am talking smack, I'll get 6 points tops this week.  Thanks for playing.  :)

As predicted, seven points going into Monday night's epic contest between the Cards and the Jets.    Dammit.

I am a game behind you.

Well, glad it's a marathon, and not a sprint, but I feel like I've been walking in mud.  Hopefully, none of us are betting money where we have the spread involved.......
