This was a GREAT football weekend for me! And I'm not talking Pigskin Pick'em either.

A few more football weekends like this one, and dinner & drinks at the gangsterbb weekend next year will be on me.

Not for nothing, but DMC seems to be fading fast in all of the leagues that he is in with me. NFL.com, Fantasy Hockey, Pigskin Pick'em.

I think his brains gone sour from all that comedy he's playing with that young girl.

There are perfectly good explinations for everything:

Fantasy Hockey: My players are not performing.

NFL: T.O., Boldin, Dominick Davis on the bench. T.O. on short notice

This Game: I suck at picking winners

Yahoo has a pro game that incorporates the confidence points angle into it.

No Uber Points (whatever they are) of course, but I think we should play that next year instead.

This game is tough enough - and is the standard way to make weekly picks if you were to do it "for real", so I like this one...

But wouldn't the confidence points be like putting your money where your mouth is adding that kind of realism to it?

I like the sound of it. I'm up for new things but I still like this game too.

Well, if you're in a real pool for money, then yeah, altho the one that I'm in has an extra pick each week for a "Best Bet", in effect doubling the value of that one game.

But if you're betting for real on individual games, no one bets every game on the card, and the games that they do bet are often for varying amounts.

I'll retract the "instead" in my post above. No reason why we can't paly them both next year.....

They call me Midtable Mediocrity Turi. As much as I enjoy them fantasy game's aren't my thing. The only game I'm going to win is a salary cap NFL game against other Brits.

Anyway, I didn't actually do my homework for this weeks picks and just went off gut instinct. Doesn't look much different in my results.

You know that JL guy is getting on my nerves. Now if he was a gloater then I would have to wish him harm or public humiliation...like coming out of the toilet with a trail of paper stuck in his pants, or a booger hanging out of nose when he's talking to the office babe, or .... something. JL, you're just too good at this. What are the Mega Million numbers for Tuesday going to be?? :p

He does his share of gloating, MC (admittedly no more than I do, though). Read a few of the other fantasy threads.

BTW, I kinda like the "toilet paper stuck in his pants" scenario.

I was putting up a good fight in the College Football Pick 'Em game, until JG misinformed us about the game ending last week and I made a few weird picks, hoping to get lucky and catch up.

And I am beating you in the Thursday Night game. Despite your protestations that a game featuring all proposition bets is mostly a matter of luck, I think that my record of consistency throughout the season shows that a little research can go a long way and remove a good part of the luck factor.

Let's see now.....I'm also putting up a decent fight in the Football Salary Cap game. Yes, you're in the lead, but I'm second, and with six weeks to go, that one is by no means over yet.

I'm not gonna mention hockey, since I freely admit that I know almost nothing about the players. So AFAIC, that one doesn't even count for me.

Then there's Yahoo Basketball. I'm doing pretty well in that one, but wait......you're not in it. :p

Nor are you in the weekly NBA Pick 'Em game, or the NBA Rookie game.

In fact, the only game I can think of in which you are kicking my ass in is Salary Cap Basketball, and that's strictly because of a fluke. Wait until the second half.


So, you were saying......? :rolleyes:

I'm not even counting the "pick-em games" which I'm winning. Those aren't real fantasy games. I'm only counting the Salary Cap Games where I've won or winning every single one I've played. Baseball, basketball, football, golf, and Yahoo hockey.
