I'm so bored with my life right now.

Not as much as i am i assure you.

I was watching a NFL show on British TV yesterday and they were talking about people accusing the Colt of running up the score, how the hell can you accuse someone of scoring points in a football game????Isn't that the whole point of the game???

They were doing that on the Pats about the Redskins game... because... well... they were running up the score. After it's clear you win the game keeping in your starters and passing the ball is -EV.

But I guess that's what happens when the Skins went for it on 4th down in easy field goal range...

Well i get that, but how can other team 'accuse' them of doing it? It's not like they're breaking any laws or inconveniecing anyone.

no one has accused them except for the media about running up the score (as far as I have read/heard)


but to be blunt, these are professional athletes - it's not like this is a high school or college game where a Division 1 team is playing a Division 3 team...grow the **** up, your team sucks. This would be like having the mercy rule in MLB.

Someone from the Patriots had a great line about them running up the score. Possibly paraphrased:

"Coach doesn't send the offense out there to punt."

The last two weeks, I've given 16 winners and 8 losers! Here are the guaranteed 12 games, Naismith style!

San Francisco + 3.5
Cinci -1
Seattle +1
New England -5
San Diego + Atlanta/SF OVER tease
Ravens + NE/Indy OVER tease
Dallas -3.5
Dallas/Philly OVER 46
San Diego -6.5
SD/Minny OVER 41
Carolina +4
KC/GB OVER 37

I RUN SO BAD.

Points are still a tie-breaker for the play-offs, right?

Just finished an 11 hour session. At deepest, I think I was stuck ~$3k. I'm not sure of the final tally, but my guess is that it's -$1.5k or so.

Edit: I have some major BO action going on.

It's so low teir on the tiebreaker list it doesn't matter.

This is the Pats, they're getting in the playoffs.

They play the Colts HU, which are like the only team they have to worry about home field from, and that's the first tie break.

After that it would be W/L against common opponents etc etc.

It wasn't a poor move to stay aggressive on offense. It was a poor move to keep the starters in. Also it's a poor investment strategy in case Brady goes down later. Backups need game exp too.

To preserve a shutout I can see keeping the defensive starters in... but that's it basically. Belichick must have Brady on his fantasy team.

Nate, did you actually ship some beer my way?

I'm running out of my own case of cheap crap, lol.

its coming keep your hat on (I had to wait to get a stars check)

lol, now I feel bad.

I was just wondering if you were actually gonna do it, hahah.

Oddly, while my overall score hasn't changed much since I took this a year ago, my play with big pairs (which used to be a weakness) has improved greatly and my play with small pairs (a real strength, IMO) has dropped significantly.

EDIT: Just found my old score. Turns out, my overall score has changed more than I remembered. I feel like I took it another time and got a different score, but I couldn't find another score on any of my 200 e-mail addresses. And yes, my name was changed to protect the innocent (me).

WOW what a game, thanks for the "they will win by two touchdowns" almost jinxed our ass.

Alright I will be paying up tomorrow.

mtn you have to be getting more worried we will go 19-0

Have to admit, the road looks EXTREMELY easy for the Pats from now until playoff time. Ooooops, wait .... there is one real game on the schedule yet ... I expect there will be additional action on that game.

i wonder what the spread will be.

Pats by 7.5

Probably by like 11. Unless that is already a lock. 7.5 just doesn't seem like enough.

Oh one more thing...

..........

........................................








...HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS? I think Mcnabb really needs to consider passing the reins along to Kevin Kolb and giving the Eagles a chance to win. Either that or the Eagles play callers need to be fired, they called a horrific game.

I think it comes down to points with Jay and I.

Low scoring game one time!

And yeah, McNabb + Reid = end of an era. Need to get rid of both of em.

Hows everyone doing today? 9-0 sure is a wonderful thing.

Did you cry yourself to sleep last night?

I think I just masturbated myself to sleep.


*searches for ginobili avatar from website of which masturbation occured*

They picked a silly way to graph your loose vs. tight and aggressive vs. passive personality. I think it's pretty obvious to show that as a point on a two-dimensional graph. (I'm pretty sure that's how that Shumaker guy showed it.)

Why is it the Packers are 7-1 and still get 0 respect?

Also... somebody please explain that Detroit-Denver game... what the hell

Zach must love how much this looks like LHE

Result?

Cutler got hurt. And I hope the Pack keeps gettn no respect cause I'm gonna bet on them every week

Also my uncle just called me and I'm going to the game tonite.

Wooooooooo Hooooooooo

The 75th aniv team is going to be on hand including Terry Bradshaw. Gonna be electric tonite. Might cover the 9-10 pt spread.

that hand is ridiculous.

Nice, I love MNF games. I've only been to one, but the Bucs beat the Giants.

I hope you're right on the spread. I'm down to HU in my survivor pool and I have the Steelers this week. Plus my teaser with the Steelers -3.

They get to fly under the radar because of the Pats/Colts/Cowboys.

I guess Detroit is a good team, who knew.




I can't believe that is really a 3/6 NL hand

AcKc?

Nevermind I misread the horrible action in that hand, I'm changing my guess to 66 and Cobalt takes it down

never been to a MNF football game ever. I'm leaving work in like an hr to get the party started. if ben plays average this should be an easy win.

Have a good time. And you don't have to listen to the commentary from the booth, double score!

I still love Kornhesier I just wish he would stick to PTI!

EDIT: and not badmouth hockey fights.

Yeah, but a minor one.



Nice going. I went in for $900 in a $1/2/300 game a couple months ago and cashed out $1,876. Good times.



I was never the biggest Reggie McNabb fan. Andy Reid is a good coach, though.



MNF is awesome. It really kicks up a level to be a fan. At least it won't be like 125F like it was when I was there to see the Steelers mop up on the Seahawks. (slight brag post).

Oh, and I expect them to win a squeaker tonight. Action?

I might be stupid but there is no way I am betting on the Seahawks. Also I am not playing poker for three days. November it looks like I run normal... which is really frsutrating after running like a god for October.

ended up winning 2k in 10k hands in october :-) this month 1k hands = down $200 dollars

Theisman and the old SNF guys should have all just switched to MNF when they made that collasal error in changing Madden and Al Michaels off of MNF. Madden's a little goofy at times, but he is the most knowledgable announcer. These other guys, I just don't get. The new MNF crew is like 90% retardation, 10% football announcing.

Does anyone else find it really perturbing when an announcer who gets paid millions of dollars is verbally wondering why a coach is not challanging the ruling on the field that there was no fumble when it looked like there was in fact a fumble? I only ask because you would think the announcers know that you CANNOT challange a play not ruled a fumble to be overturned into one, but I see some moron berating the coaches weekly for not challanging that sort of play . I wish I got paid millions of dollars to ramble.

clearly you are insane.

Kornheiser makes me want to slit my throat or his. One of us. Just so I don't have to listen to his voice any longer.

Don't hate just because the guy scribbles on the tv like it's his own personal coloring book.

The guy knows his shit.

The new MNF guys other than Theisman are an argumentative dick who they pulled off of a stupid ESPN debate show, and a raise-my-voice-every-single-time-anything-happens-in-the-pattern-of-an-orgasm, black guy just to show that ABC and ESPN aren't racists.

• Replay changes: Perhaps the biggest victory of the competition committee was the inclusion of down-by-contact plays on replay challenges. Last year, the committee fell four votes short of getting down by contact plays included. This year, it passed, 27-5.

Pereira said there were 12 plays in 2005 that would have been overturned in a replay challenge on a lost fumble that was ruled down because the player had been downed after contact with a defensive player. If the defensive team wins the challenge, the ball would go to them at spot of the recovery. In 2004, about 13 change of possessions would have been made in favor of the defensive team that recovered.


Sounds like you can challenge these plays now. From ESPN.com
