and abides

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

And, yes, I was here for the original.
then...the Karens and Darrens descended.
Reeeeeeee

[Rummyfan]

My picks are in! I can state with confidence that tonight the Commanders will make the Bears 0 - 5.

[Rummyfan]

C’mon ‘gator. There’s a wagon with a band rolling down hill in Detroit. Jump on!

LOL! History makes one cautious.

[Rummyfan]

...the more I’m thinking the “Patriot Way” was actually the “Brady Way.” Brady went to TB and won a ring. What has NE done after Brady left?

The Patriot Way is all well and good, but it also doesn't hurt to have a HoF quarterback to implement that way. Belichick is doing what he can with what he has, and no team has ever been able to sustain really long-term success - over decades I mean - without some down years. I'm no great fan of Belichick, I admire and respect him but sometimes I think he is the Prince of Darkness in football. But no one other than Bill Walsh can match his success.

OMG! The Bears might win a game! Don’t care if I picked wrong I’d love to see them do it!

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

Okay without objection, I’m scoring darkangel82’s pick as Washington Commandos even though he seemed a bit late, largely because like everyone else it looks like a loser pick anyway. 27 - 3 Chicago at the half.

[Rummyfan]

I’m just glad I didn’t pick the Commanders in my knockout league (Miami this week). Fine time for the Bears to break their eighteen game losing streak.

[Rummyfan]

I can state with confidence that tonight the Commanders will make the Bears 0 - 5.

Nobody knows nothing abut the NFL!

[Rummyfan]

This year in the Red River Shootout, the Longhorns all the way! It will be a burnt orange thing of beauty.

[Rummyfan]

And the Commanders come storming back!

[Rummyfan]

37 - 20 with four minutes to go? Surely not even the Bears could lose this?!

[campaignPete R-CT]

I definitely want to be on the Bears’ ping list

“Okay without objection, I’m scoring darkangel82’s pick as Washington Commandos even though he seemed a bit late, largely because like everyone else it looks like a loser pick anyway. 27 - 3 Chicago at the half.”

Hmmmmmm, I was five minutes getting my Lions over Packers pick in when the Packers were 3 points ahead and my correct bet wasn’t counted.
Nothing against darkangel but let’s have one set of rules for all.

[Rummyfan]

And the Bears win. Who would’ve thunk it?!

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

No you’re right. I don’t imagine there’s any way to appeal a late Yahoo pick so we shouldn’t either. So five minutes before the game starts is the deadline.
