The Masters is back!
Looking for anyone who is interested to sign up and finish out this season

After TrustMe stepped down as TD, the tournament has languished, and many of its 49 participants are not currently active on the site, so we need subs!

J. Edgar
I saw J. Edgar yesterday and thought it was fairly fantastic. At the very least, I thought DiCaprio would be a shoe in Oscar nominee (or even winner). Reviews, on the other hand, were less positive. Anyone else seen it?

poetic public press
a couple of years ago, when public press games must be played on the forum, a few guys did a poetic version of public press (some of you old enough might recall). if anyone is interested, i would love to start a game like that.

How do players come up with the games that they create. I for one enjoy using music references. For example, I am in 2 games that I have created. The first is BYOB (song by system of a down). The second is This Time We'll Blast It All to Hell (line from green days' f.o.d.)

Seeing as we have a thursday night game, I figured it's time to get this out, and give Goldfinger another break from having to do this.

Thank's leif. Here's to every week being like last week! 1st place is so close, after a long trip from the bottom of the pile.

Raiders @ Chargers - If this was before Carson Palmer came to the Raiders, I'd say the Raiders would win this easily. But now, I have to say the CHARGERS will win this high turnover thriller.
Cardinals @ Eagles - While the Eagles have been sliding, the Cardinals will be easy prey. EAGLES.
Jaguars @ Colts - oh boy, which team is worse? I'm so, so tempted to say the Colts will end their losing streak, but....they're just really bad. Still, I'll go for it. COLTS for their first win.
Broncos @ Chiefs - can Tebow keep his streak going? I don't think so. CHIEFS will come back with a vengeance after their disappointing show in Miami
Steelers @ Bengals - this is tough. A lot tougher than people think it would be. Upset of the week here, but I'm going to call the BENGALS to win and keep their top seed.
Bills @ Cowboys - Bills are sliding down. Though Tony Romo will give them lots of turnovers, their offense isn't clicking like it used to (and not giving me fantasy points too). COWBOYS
Saints @ Falcons - wow, another really tough one. I think the SAINTS will go marching on to the win.
Rams @ Browns - ugh, another close one. Colt McCoy and the BROWNS can handle this
Redskins @ Dolphins - DOLPHINS will increase their streak to two.
Titans @ Panthers - Cam Newton all day baby! PANTHERS win with style.
Texans @ Buccaneers - While the Bucs will make a game of it, TEXANS will come away with the win
Ravens @ Seahawks - if Baltimore loses this, I will be horribly shocked. RAVENS
Lions @ Bears - a classic game, as well as a close one. The Bears have a dynamic offense and a pretty good defense, while the Lions are getting to be a bit more stretched in that area. Still, I think the LIONS will stay in chase of the Packers
Giants @ 49ers - ugh, this is a situation like last week. The Giants should lose this game on paper, but I think they'll find a way to win. GIANTS.
Patriots @ Jets - ugh again. What is up with this week's matchups? I'm tempted to say the Jets will beat the sliding Pats, but, man I hate Jets fans (friends with too many of them) so I'll say the PATRIOTS stop their slide.
Vikings @ Packers - what used to be a good matchup will now be a blowout. PACKERS

And NICE...3-way tie at the top of the pile for 1st place with 56...
In the end, there can be only one.
Well, only 7 of us thus far this week, and all of us picked the losing team :(
Leif_Syverson (271 D)
12 Nov 11 UTC
figures..

Denver beats oakland, and Green Bay can't stop the chargers, so Chargers over Raiders was the wrong call? Makes perfect sense..

Are others still going to be allowed to put their picks in, just minus the thursday night game?

Cockney (0 DX)
12 Nov 11 UTC
Obi set it up... What do u think obi?

Shall the seven of us with picks in, give a preference?
I don't really care, since nothing is at stake except glory -- and what is more glorious than graciously letting your opponent pick up the sword he dropped and then killing him anyway? In similar leagues, I've played where you can post picks anytime before gametime, including Sunday afternoon and night games and MNF game later than the others. That gives greater flexibility in terms of late scratches. It also makes it more difficult for the person trying to figure out to calculate the results to piece together all the fragments of pick entries.

IIRC, there were no rules set for this group. I have no problem with saying all picks for the week have to be in before the first game. If we go that way, I would be okay with letting people who did not enter picks yet this week get a one-time exception to enter their picks before Sunday due to the ambiguity. Or I would have no problem saying you can enter your Thursday separately, then all the rest of your picks before the Sunday games. Or whatever. I'm easy, or so they say in on the walls of the ladies' restroom.

@Cockney:

Let's let the other folks pick...

But with the OAK/SD game gounting as a "loss," since they didn't pick that one, otherwise it'll throw off the numbers (plus they didn't pick it, so they kinda forfeited it...?) That's my take, anyway...)
acmac10 (120 D(B))
13 Nov 11 UTC
FUCK. Totally forgot about the Thursday night game. Oak vs. SD...should have been a good one between two AFC West teams. But I like the Chargers, so if you'll let me, I'll go with good ol' San Diego.

Leif_Syverson (271 D)
14 Nov 11 UTC
Congrats Cockney, it's just you and me at the top of week 4 entries separated by 2 picks.. everyone else tanked this week..

Looks like that leaves dr rush (newbie strikes again for the top spot), you, me, acmac10, and THM (i think that quick estimate is correct) as the top 5 by average standings..
Cockney (0 DX)
14 Nov 11 UTC
cheers leif

so im 9-6 with packers (who i think most people picked) as top spot as my last choice

yesterday i thought 9-6 was a bad/average score... but the results really screwed a lot of peeps
Leif_Syverson (271 D)
14 Nov 11 UTC
I think you'll be 9 and 7 actually since all 16 games were played this week but it's the wins that count anyway.. I'll be 8-8 which is horrific, except when you look at how everyone else's picks went. except dr rush that is.. dang late entries getting top spots..
