Fool's Ball Week 6!!!!!!!!!!

Your home for all things Fool's Ball!

In Memoriam Danny Lee (BENDER2)

[RedMonqey]

I hear it would take 7-9 months to get back into “football shape”

We will see.

[RedMonqey]

Yep.
Rodgers is past his prime.
Course others ain’t helping!

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

This sort of thing comes up once in a while. On Yahoo you selected Seahawks and they have you at 13-1 for the week. But you posted a screen shot from Yahoo here where you selected the 49ers. So I've got you at 14-0.

Common practice here is FreeRepublic.com takes priority over Yahoo pics.

Special shout out to Poser, Texas Thunder, Blue Highway, chuckallen, and Impy for outstanding picks.

[zzeeman]

As always, thanks for doing all of this work… been having end of life issues (Alzheimer’s) with my F-I-L over the past several months, so I haven’t been on the threads very often, can barely get my picks in on time each week.

[chuck allen]

Davante Adams traded from Raiders to Jets..

Amari Cooper traded from Browns to Bills..

Deshaun Watson still no good, and worse without Cooper.

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

You’re welcome, my pleasure really. Sorry to hear about your FIL. You’re doing pretty good with the pics.

[teeman8r]

ugh... the slide continues...

but the ravens have 4 in a row... go go Ravens!

t

[teeman8r]

henry wanted to take the ravens to the show...

and he’s doing it...

GO RAVENS

[al_c]

Ugh ... I'm free falling.

[al_c]

My picks are just as bad as my Cowboys.

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

Okay the issue with Blue Highway got me to doing some QC work and I found several other issues;
RedMonqey had several weeks where the FR picks were different than Yahoo.
moehoward missed a whole week at Yahoo but he posted here.
The worst of all was I somehow didn't properly add Trump Still Won to my weekly sheet so I got his picks the first week but he didn't get into the results table. I corrected that and now he's back. It only changes the bottom part of the table so that's all I'm posting.

Sorry Trump Still Won! I don't know your freeper handle otherwise I would have sent a private message.

[Rummyfan]

Twelve games correct?! It helps there were no real upsets lol.

Honestly did anyone imagine the Bucs scoring 51 points?!

[RedMonqey]

I’ve missed two Thursday night picks and the Dallas Detroit game pick was different from Yahoo site pick.
But whichever one counts is up to you, doesn’t cost any money,just pride!
This is just a pleasant diversion from life’s reality!
Thanks for tabulating each week’s results.
Lord knowns my math skills ain’t up to it!

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

Yeah the difference on week 4 was Yahoo having you pick Packers, but you posted on FR the Vikings were the winners.

Week 6 Yahoo has no pick recorded for SF vrs SEA but you posted on FR the Niners, also Yahoo has you picking Cowboys but Lions on FR.

So Yahoo has you 3 games behind where I have you. If only me and a bunch of other guys had such a problem.

[RedMonqey]

That’s the problem with me picking on different dates
On Yahoo I do it in Wednesday and then fill out the PP on FR on Thursday when it is posted.
I forget some of the previous picks and sometimes they don’t always match.

[zzeeman]

Thanks, been pretty lucky on the picks, hardly any time to research or read much! Or even watch many games…

[zzeeman]

This is just a pleasant diversion from life’s reality!

You got that right, except when I read, talk about, watch, or think about the Cowboys…. 🤣

[BigFreakinToad]

Well damn, I should have been playing all along.

[al_c]

You got that right, except when I read, talk about, watch, or think about the Cowboys…. 🤣

Well, at least they won't lose this week.
