There will be no repeat champion this year with Yinzer eliminated, however, Dr. Phibes and smackie repeat as co-champs in the $100 pool and welcome Sweetcell to group. Check your paypal's for your $234.

STILL ALIVE IN $5 POOL

Fire Herm Edwards (SFO) [venerable]
SPARX SAYS (SEA)
BookerT-Bags (BUF)

ELIMINATED IN WEEK 3

vansmack* (NWE)
mr. pretentious (CHI)
SweetPicks* (NWE)
Phibes Phootball Inc. * (NWE)
yinzer (NWE)

Sadly, I won't have time to run a second chance pool this year, but will gladly pass the reign if someone else wants to do it.

it's almost worth it to have NE getting their asses kicked by the lowly dolphins. almost.

And then there were 2. What am I to do now that the Rams have a bye next week. Sorry Pollard, but it's been working like a charm.

really reaching to find someone worse that yourself at fantasy football, aren't you? fair enough, given that you've exhausted this bboard.

Dolphins win spoiler of the year!

What are the odds Herm?

Cha-Ching!

Rams just had to take this week off…

Oh well, half the pie is better than none of the pie.

I was shocked when I noticed we both had the Chargers. The % was like 6. Congrats! Don't spend your half all in one place

It could've been worse for me. I was gonna go with the Eagles but instead went for a game I thought you definitely wouldn't take. Wrong.

Are the Skins for real?

That would've been a sweet victory had you taken the Saints, as I am a die hard Vikings Fan. Still wouldn't have got me out of the SD debacle though.

Smackie, check your PM's

Now that everyone's been paid (seriously though, sparx, it's time to get a paypal account - you're the only check I've written since March), I recently (re)discovered that my winnings were in my paypal account. It's like an early Christmas with Monopoly money! Here's what I've purchased off ebay so far this week with my winnings:

(1) A t-shirt that I won't unveil on the masses until football Sunday. ($11)

(2) A 2GB RAM chip for my Dell Mini 9 ($22)

(3) A Wine Aerator ($25)

(4) An external DVD/CD-RW drive ($30)

(5) Replacement Stylus for smackette's Treo - I was wrongly accused of losing it, but hey ($6)

(6) Wireless Strat for Rock Band ($30)
