A New Site Feature
I know less than nothing about how this would have to be implemented, so feel free to ignore this. Would it be possible to add a feature that allows people to "follow" games that they aren't in?

NFL Pick 'em: Week 6--Can the Giants Get A Win? Should the 'skins Change Their Name?
We start Week 6 with a game that looked a LOT better before the season started, the Giants and the Cowboys. The Cowboys and Redskins play on Sunday Night, an always-fun match-up (what do you think about the Redskin name, by the way, change it or no?) and there are plenty of interesting games with the Pack and Ravens going at it, the Saints and Patriots going head-to-head, and more. So, Week 6, here we go...PICK 'EM!

Obi's Picks:

NYG@CHI: Another loss for New York--da BEARS win it at home
CIN@BUF: The BENGALS continue to make their case for being a SB darkhorse
GB@BAL: I think the RAVENS are over their early jitters...with Clay Matthews out, they win
DET@CLE: A game that's almost interesting for a change...LIONS
CAR@MIN: This will be the last season for Ron Rivera--the VIKINGS take it here
STL@HOU: Schaub or no Schaub, the TEXANS are still god enough to beat St. Louis
OAK@KC: The CHIEFS remain undefeated, but Pryor gives Raider fans some hope
PIT@NYJ: I would have picked this the other way at the start of the year--JETS
PHI@TB: The EAGLES keep themselves in the NFC East conversation
JAC@DEN: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA--um, yeah, BRONCOS
TEN@SEA: As much as it pains me to pick this way...*sigh*...SEAHAWKS
NO@NE: Arguably the best game of the week...Brees has better options than Brady--SAINTS
AR@SF: The NINERS crush the Cardinals and continue to remind folks they're still a contender
WAS@DAL: Offensive name or no, I'll go upset here and say RGIII and the REDSKINS
IND@SD: No upset here, however--the COLTS take it all the way

NYG@CHI: Bears, no shit dipstick.
CIN@BUF: Cincinnati, no shit dipstick.
GB@BAL: Packers --- suck. Ravens, no shit dipstick.
DET@CLE: Lions, in a close game. T-Rich trade is working out. (Notice something missing?)
CAR@MIN: Vikings, no shit dipstick. (Oh, that's what it was.)
STL@HOU: Texans, no shit dipstick.
OAK@KC: Chiefs, no shit dipstick.
PIT@NYJ: Both teams suck but I think Rex Ryan is going to make his last year worth it and the Jets win...
PHI@TB: Eagles, no shit dipstick.
JAC@DEN: In all honesty, I think the Broncos are going to come out a little flat in this one. They are going to think that Jacksonville is just another team they can roll over and the Jaguars are going to take advantage by scoring a single field goal as the Broncos rout them 61-3.
TEN@SEA: Seahawks, no shit dipstick.
NO@NE: The Patriots have no defensive line. Who Dat Nation baby!
ARI@SF: Niners, no shit dipstick.
WAS@DAL: The D.C. Redskins are gonna get smoked on. I don't know what Obi's slipping lately.
IND@SD: Colts, no shit dipstick.

JAC@DEN will go one of two ways...it will either be the predicted blowout but the Jags will kick a token field goal to avoid a shutout, or the hyped offensive show will end up being a defensive battle with Denver only winning 16-9.

- NYG@CHI: Duh Bears will win this...and New Yawkers will be calling for Coughlin's head on a platter...
- CIN@BUF: The last time the Bungles faced a 3rd string QB they lost (see TJ Yates Cin @ Hou playoffs 2011). Still...this Buffalo offense is no match for the Bengals who will absolutely dominate the game in a rout...
- GB@BAL: Baltimore will need to put the ball into the hands of Rise 25+ times to win that. Since this is supposed to be Air Flacco the Packers will smack the Ravens down.
- DET@CLE: Wheedon is not Hoyer...Lions move to 4-2...
- CAR@MIN: As much as I think that AP can help break the game for the Vikes...Carolina has a killer defense and will take this one.
- STL@HOU: Can I pick this one 6 times??? The Rams are from The Lou...but in Houston their play will be in the loo...even after Schaub gift wraps a TD the Texans will still win it.
- OAK@KC: The Chefs will cook up a way to beat the Raiduhs...
- PIT@NYJ: Hey Stillers fans...can you sat oh-fer? As in 0 for 5???
- PHI@TB: Schiano is about to lose the locker room too...and losing this game will just compound the problems...
- JAC@DEN: Honestly...the Jags could lose to the Denver School for the Blind and Deaf by almost as much as they will lose to the Broncos...
- TEN@SEA: It's gonna be a long day for the Titans as they will blow their chance for relevancy. Seachickens win by at lease 14...
- NO@NE: This might be the only watchable game of the week. Wilfork out...Kelly questionable...yeah...sorry Patsy fans...your guys are gonna get marched on by the Saints...
- AZ@SF: Palmer throws 3 picks and the Niners fry the Cards...
- WAS@DAL: The 'Boys bounce back and Romo avoids the costly pick.
- IND@SD: My upset pick of the week. The Colts will still be riding the high from last week. Rivers delivers a win...

Putin - first, no big surprise, as you are the Queen of judgmentalism and bigotry - but not everyone sits around swilling beer and acting the fool. I actually watch football with my wife and daughters, and they participate in fantasy football with me, and it becomes something we do as a family - we cheer, we compete, we cook wings together -- but somehow to you that is awful....you are such a sick fuck.

As for disability payments....let's see, high-paid NFL players are incapable of buying insurance??? But - perhaps you are ill-informed, but most likely you are just ignoring facts, because you are an asshole, but the NFL has put aside HUNDREDS of millions of dollars for former NFL players, moron.

You are such a douchebag it sometimes ceases to be entertaining to mock you. There is hardly a thing you *EVER* say that is factual, that isn't some gross perversion of the truth to fit you fucked up view.

The saddest thing about you, Putin, is that you are clearly a miserable human being. Anything that people enjoy, you hate and insult...and I'm starting to believe that it is because you are such an asshole in real life that you probably have no friends, that people cast you aside and ignore you, and as such you have put up this sad defense mechanism by which you insult everything everyone does to try to convince yourself it isn't fun, so that you don't feel quite so bad about being excluded from everything by everyone.

I'm actually starting to feel sorry for you, Putin.....and then I look at what an asshole you are, and I laugh, and I'm actually a little happy to imagine you in your self-imposed isolation of assholism, because you clearly bring it all upon yourself.

Fuck off, loser.

"I actually watch football with my wife and daughters, and they participate in fantasy football with me, and it becomes something we do as a family - we cheer, we compete, we cook wings together"

Suburban Detroit families spending quality time watching inner city kids beat their brains in for their entertainment over dinner. How heartwarming. Maybe you watch serial killer movies for dessert.

"but the NFL has put aside HUNDREDS of millions of dollars for former NFL players, moron."

How many of the 10,000+ former players qualify for disability? How many qualify for disability for injuries relating to concussions? Why is it the NFL just settled a lawsuit with 4500 former players over concussions?

You're a mouthpiece for every evil abusive corporation on the planet, why should the NFL be any different.

- CIN@BUF: Bengals win, although it will be closer than it should be
- GB@BAL: Sadly, I think the Packers win
- DET@CLE: Sadly, I think the Lions win
- CAR@MIN: Vikings win in the Dome coming off a bye
- STL@HOU: Houston wins with relative ease against a disappointing rams team
- OAK@KC: Chiefs stay undefeated due to a cupcake schedule
- PIT@NYJ: Jets somehow win again
- PHI@TB: Buccaneers sneak out a victory
- JAC@DEN: Haha Denver
- TEN@SEA: Seahawks win in the friendly confines
- NO@NE: New Orleans can't stay undefeated forever. Patriots win at home
- AZ@SF: Niners win, although I don't think this turns into a blowout.
- WAS@DAL: Romo shreds another horrible defense. Cowboys
- IND@SD: I also think San Diego wins this game. I don't have a good reason. Just a gut feeling

…tsk tsk tsk…Poor little Putin…jealous of Krellin and my happy family life. I know it must be difficult for you to have no one around you – the weekends must be the most difficult, living in isolation, probably in the dark, frothing in anger, wishing someone could tolerate your presence. They’re self-inflicted wounds, Putin…you’re an asshole, plain and simple. But it is rather pathetic, even for you, to be so full of hate for families doing something together.

As for football players…hmmm…to the best of my knowledge, people play this sport ***BY CHOICE*** I know…in your demented world all choice is removed to the state…who clearly is *really* good at making choices and running things. At every turn, you demonstrate yourself to me a moron. Just when I think you have maxed out, and can be no more of a moron than you were, you say yet another retarded thing and prove me wrong.

1. Just because some fans are assholes doesn't mean all are, my dear absolutist Putin

2. You like soccer--are you going to tell me THAT sport, soccer hooligans and all, has fans which are less barbaric? ...Yes...you are...but, as usual, it'll be laughably bad and no one will take you seriously.

3. #s 1 and 2 being said...those fans in Houston SHOULD be ashamed, and the same with the Niner fans who were booing when that Cardinal took forever to be helped off the field...disgraceful, even if I am a Niner fan, COME ON, what's this recent rash of crap, booing guys when they're hurt? Even if you want to argue some are "faking it," we can probably agree that the guy who needs to be carted off the field isn't faking? It's just a classless thing to do.
Putin33 (111 D)
14 Oct 13 UTC
1. This is little different than cheering on bone-crushing tackles or "big hits", which happen all the time. This kind of barbarism is part of the sport.

2 . Soccer hooligans are barbaric, but the game is not. When you do a rugby tackle in soccer, that's a foul. It's against the rules of the game. Every play in the NFL, the goal is to inflict pain & suffering on the opposing player.
Octavious (2701 D)

@ Putin

The goal is to score points by winning a contest of physicality and tactics. A contest both sides consent to and enjoy. Your definition of barbarism needs tweaking, methinks.

As reported in Science (http://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6154/60.full):
Open Access Journals may be more likely to accept suspect papers (as they are paid by the authors) as demonstrated by Bohannon, who submitted a clearly false paper to several hundred journals, to be rejected by less than half.

A Nobel in Two Pages
Physical Review is making available for free the papers that won the Physics Nobel Prizes this year (for the prediction of the Higgs boson). One of them is two pages, and the other is three. That's not so uncommon in physics, but it's still remarkable how tersely a great idea can be communicated. Here is the link for the interested:
