a big mouth? sorta like announcing your thoughts on who to bet on, on a public forum?
No, more like a braggart is what I meant. We have a forum and we all talk about who we're gonna pick. But it's all still a game so sometimes people don't trust others advice hahaha

I'm not so sure about that, at least for the $100 pool.
Don't forget to make your pick before Sunday.
well, this could be it.
Well Seattle just broke a lot of hearts and caused Vegas to piss themselves. Manning choked big time.
What happens if the entire league is eliminated in the same week? Obviously everyone is out in the $100 pool already . . .
I don't even want to do the math on this…
I have never been a Jets fan in my life, but . . . J E T S JETS JETS JETS!
I had NOR as my pick until I changed it this morning because I kept hearing vansmack's voice in my head saying, "you always go with the home team with the biggest spread."

Not me. Distributing $1.87 or whatever it is to everyone does not excite me.
Go Pats.
since everyone got eliminated in the $100, should we start another pool and continue on? essentially give everyone a mulligan?
it's either that, or 5 people split $300 plus get their money back (i.e. get ~$160 each).

I had the Pats knowing you couldn't use them but decided to avoid the divisional game…

What do we do with Seth, Venerable and eros in that scenario?

to my mind, in the mulligan scenario those who were previously out remain out. they lost their bets prior to today's clusterf*ck, so that doesn't change.
I don't think that is fair to the other three. Although we lasted longer than they did, we all met the same result. It's probably fairer to distribute the money, and anyone who wants back in has to pay again. Also, with a new league, how would previously picked teams be treated? It could get messy unless Yahoo has the ability for the league moderator to go in and eliminate teams from each respective team's picks (and I am sure the moderator would be thrilled to do that . . . )

This is completely false. There's a big difference between week one and week three, let alone week five.
If anything, I'm willing to consider letting anyone who lost before week 4 to buy back in, but I'm not willing to wipe out their debt all together.

i understand your point of view, but i don't agree with it. survival pools are all about lasting as long as possible, so you can't ignore the time dimension. being bounced out in week 5 isn't the same as being bounced out in week 4… or week 1.
here's my analogy: you win the quarter-finals, but tie in the semi-finals. it is decided that the teams in the semis should re-play to choose a winner. do the quarter-finals losers get to play again? no, they've already been eliminated.
