Dude; are you questioning vansmack's commishability?

I'm trying to get some leverage for a settlement agreement. Kind of hard to do when the pot isn't full.

I'm seriously not worried about any of those three (some of whom I have a gambling history with). I'm not sure why you're so concerned, but don't sweat it - should you win, you'll get your cash in a timely fashion.

GGW and Phibes are almost always last one's in.
Waitin on those last minute injury reports?
If I were in the 100 dollar pool as they are, I'd probably be a little more cautious as well. I really went out on a limb this week.

I know, but I started the reminder system so I try to be consistent, but seriously, if you can't remember 10 weeks in it serves you right if you forget.

I would be shocked if all 8 of us don't have the same pick this week.

The question is, does one person have the balls to go out on a limb and give himself a chance to win it all (or eliminate himself in silly fashion)?

So what happens now that all the $50 and all the $100 participants are eliminated in the same week?

i got a good chuckle outta that, guess everyone thought that NOR > STL was a sure thing. on any given sunday…

two options come to mind: split the pot between the last men standing, or pretend that this week never happened and continue next week (couldn't use yahoo sports anymore, someone would have to manually manage the pool offline). personally, i'm happy to end it here and take the money.

I'm happy to end it right there and cut my losses, even though I still had New England and Indy in my pocket.

end it (and vip passes for all :D )

And the answer is Yinzer. Good luck tomorrow night.

and now SDS are giving it to Indy? this week has been upset central. in my other survivor pool, there were 16 people going in to this week. only three survived, with two seattle picks left for tomorrow. massacre.

while i have y'allz attention: where's a good place to find out as ASAP if shaun alexander will be starting tomorrow? everything i've read says it's a game-time decision with a lean towards the negative, but what source(s) will have the info first? thanks.

As an strict constructionist, I believe we must follow the rules on this one. See "How Do I Win?", available at http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/footballsurvival/winning/footballs-12.html (last visited Nov. 11, 2007) ("In the event that the last Active members in a group are all Eliminated together in the same week, all are declared winners.").

Go Niners!

I had a bad feeling about pickin the Saints yet I did it anyway.

Agreed. That whole bye week thing had me a bit worried.

But there really didn't seem much else available. I had already picked PIT and SEA. KC, CAR and GB were favorites, but I didn't feel real good about any of those either. Hats off to Favre - dude is on fire.

No doubt. He makes it seem like he's seeing everything in slo mo. Their RB is coming along too. It's looking like the Pack vs.Dallas for the NFC.

thanks. never thought i'd be rooting for the seahawks after all of their post-super bowl XL crying about the officiating.

Good Question. Congrats to Yinzer if he wins with Seattle tonight! But,of course he wasn't in on the side bets and wouldn't be eligible for that pot?? Right, Smackie??
