930 Survival Football 2011

Don't forget to make your picks this week.

niners

looks like we lost seth again.  first round it was cleveland, this time it's kansas.  not that anyone could blame him for the pick: at home vs. winless miami seemed pretty safe…

edit: of course smackie is going to point out how this was, in fact, a completely stupid choice ;D

This is the complete text of an actual email conversation I had with venerable on Tuesday, Nov 1:

so. . .is k.c. a viable pick in one of the next two weeks. . . .ugh

Venerable

Ask your wife?.

Smackie

Every time Venerable has to part with his $105, which I make him do in person in front of his wife every year as part of our annual ritual, she destroys him for taking the Chiefs and asks how much money have they cost them every year.

True Story.

so, so cold.

The Ravens winning last night makes everything else yesterday ok

Eliminated in Week 8

No One

Picks

2 - Houston (no chance in hell, troy godamalu)


And in the Part Duex…

humbled (Seth)

Picks


4 - Houston
1 - Dallas
1 - Kansas City (Seth)

By my count, Seth is now down $1205 on the season in board survivor pools.  The price of beer at the club just went up a quarter.

There is a Thursday game this week.

If you wish to pick either the Raiders or the Chargers, you must do so 10 minutes prior to kickoff of that game on Thursday.  All other picks must be in 10 minutes prior to the kickoff of the 1PM ET Sunday game.

I see nobody fell for my Charger trap in this pool.

20 people were eliminated in my loser pool last night. Only 46 of the original ~260 remain.

Au contraire, mon frere.

I hate Philip Rivers, and Norv Turner is synonymous with "disappointment," but I picked the Chargers anyway.  Serves me right.

Let's Go Vikes!!

i believe that i am currently in a position known as "sitting pretty".

(in fact, i don't know if it's because i'm still alive today while everyone else is out, or if its because the packers' victory tonight is a foregone conclusion, but yahoo! already has me listed as the pool's winner already… ;D)

Yahoo didn't update the Thursday results for me until Sunday morning.  I am SHOCKED that you of all people went with a Norv Turner team…..

Obviously, you need to win tonight to be the pool winner despite yahoo's allegiance to your cause.

And sadly, I have to root for you.  Almost 40 people were wiped out of my loser pool, leaving me as one of the 28 people remaining out of 250+….stupid conflicts.

2 cochampionships in a row. i'll take it
