Snate,

I sent you a check way back when this started. My last statement showed it still hadn't been cashed. I just wanted to make sure you received it.

Thanks.

Rick

Rick,

I did. I think my wife misplaced it with our bills for a bit but it was deposited recently so it should show up on your next statement. Thanks.

Steve

If my math's right after this week were going to have a 3 way tie for the #1 spot and a few guys nipping at the heels. I've got 8 points to make up in two weeks, so can't see that happening. boy did the Bears and Ravens screw me today.

One more week to go, looks like it's a two horse race with Sully in the lead at 123-117 for the season, and I'm right behind at an even 120-120.

Ouch.

Those are the types of records you are going to end up with when you pick every game and use point spreads, which are by their very nature skewed to make things even! I hope we go back to the old format next year, but it has nothing to do with the fact I won

Oh yeah, no doubt. Anything better than .500 against the spread and you can declare yourself an "expert" prognosticator and setup a 900 line.

My record in my neighborhood pool (no spread) is 152-88, and I'm not even in 1st place. The spread makes it interesting I guess and makes you think about each and every game, including those mid-season Chicago vs Arizona type of matchups. In no-spread leagues, there seems to be only a handful of games each week that the weekly winner comes down to, as the heavy favorites are usually a consensus pick and only the lucky idiot that takes the huge underdog ends up winning for the week (usually, those type of players make multiple wild picks so their lucky ones end up balancing out with the other really bad picks that end up losing).

Yeah, looks like you got me by one game. Congrats.

Helluva last week for you. That was a tough to predict.

Too little, too late I guess. I'm shocked that I ended up one 1 game out of 1st place having not won a single week all season.

Nice job, Sully!

Thanks for putting that together, Snate. It was fun. Checking the pool every week made coming in to work on Monday mornings a little more fun.
