Pre-season is practice. Thursday games NOT counted, but I believe Sat. games ARE counted.

http://www.twobillsdrive.com/footballpool/pool.php Click on "Join". If you signed up before - your account has been deleted!!! Please sign up again you cheater! New rules: Separate pool for playoffs: 1 point per game per round. We can restart the survivor pool portion if it ends early enough. We start chopping off your worst week after week 4. You MUST pick 1 upset each each. (not sure how this works for auto picks). Bonus points have been reduced: 2 for OT 1 MNF total score 1 Perfect week. Enjoy!

Ahhhhh... thanks. Sorry Rasta - NO SOUP FOR YOU!

I have no idea what you are asking!

This is why I do it. We do drop one week, but it's just nice to have some backup because you have to attend to life every now and then. I would like to hear more reasons why it should be eliminated.

That is why I listen to Tony Kornheiser when available. If the sports ain't interesting he talks about life. I would much rather listen to an entertaining conversation about a kitchen cabinet installation than a forced sports convo on a slow news day.

Don't all Porches have the "tiptronic" transmission?

MNF score was a bonus +3 points. So, I guess that is a 4 point game if you hit it.

we had +3 for MNF +5 for OT +3 for perfect week. what do you suggest?

It would have been last night, but I wasn't about to delete every player one by one, so I emailed support on it. Meanwhile there are a lot of options that need to be set, so I wanted to get the rules straight.

Points changes, Rule changes, etc... Speak now as I am getting ready to setup the pool again and I want the rules set for the welcome email messages that get sent.

I don't know about youze guys, but I remember the Jax game much more than the Bengals game...

People have asked... we assumed it was vacation.

It's not the most outrageous, that's for sure. What made it unique was the just the silliness of the assertion. The Bills failed to get some unkown FB from Chicago and all hell broke loose. He wasn't upset. He flipped out. He blew as big of a gasket as he ever did in any other thread. Our team was officially S-C-R-E-W-E-D because we signed Gash instead of Carter. Has any fan anywhere ever hinged the future hopes of their team on teh acquisition of a FA fullback? I thought it summed him up nicely.

I prefer "inexpensive"... Cheap sounds so.... Dell.

thanks for the heads up - I have two "http://"s in each link. I'll fix that tonight.

the bastard demanded a week's paid vacation up front ...

I just added permanent "spy on the east" links to the front page...

That's what I said. Put down the vodka and get a job!

Actually, I normally frown up talking about the departed, but you weren't here for the tirade that I remember most, so I'll make an exception. Many years ago we signed Sam Gash instead of Tony Carter to be our FB. Well, the rant of the day was that no team w/o a great fullback had won the SB in how many friggin' years, etc... We were now stuck w/ an over the hill bum in Gash, while a marquee type FB like Tony Carter was being signed by NE. We were destined for the cellar. Butler was a piece of crap, yadda, yadda, yadda...

what's his stance on healthy children? On apple pie? Is he for or against clean drinking water?

if you got in last year then you are fine. That page hasn't changed in years... Go try it.

Well, I am shaky on the details, but I assume the firewall blocks the communication between the IRC server and your computer. Beyond that, someone else would have to chime in who knows more than me. You may be able to use an IRC client (as opposed to the Java chat through the web browser)...

Well done. It is virtually impossible to get 90 people to agree on anything, yet you managed to find a common thread amongst us all - your removal. That's quite the set of social skills you have there.

I saw 98 at the peak, don't know if we broke 100... Other than one putz, it was pretty well behaved. For those of you withg trouble accessing the room, we can work on it this week before game #2. It's worthwhile if you are trying to follow the game.
