This is a rough slate. Can I just take a bye-week team?
Your Raiders are just sitting there against the lowly Bears. Keep the faith.
reply
I can't believe I'm letting you bait me into this, but I don't like any of the other options and the Bears are horrible, so I will put my fate in the hands of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Week 1: Ravens Week 2: Cowboys Week 3: Jags L Week 4: 49ers Week 5: Lions Week 6: Dolphins Week 7: Raiders
Which of these things is not like the others? Which of these things doesn't belong?
reply
Clearly the Jags since they gave you the L. Silver and Black locked.

Hopefully, that's how I'll view it in hindsight.

As long as you don't get Jimmy being Jimmy you should be good.
reply
Well, I don't think we have to worry about that, because he's probably out with a back injury. Although, I suppose that's the epitome of Jimmy being Jimmy.
I was hoping for confirmation that our rookie is starting over Brian Hoyer, but I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that The Irish Cannon suits up.
reply
Didn't know Jimmy was going to be out. I knew he got hurt last game but thought it wasn't going to be anything serious because the coach said they "dodged a bullet".
reply
Ugh. I feel somewhat culpable for this. I actually thought this was a good pick but I also thought Jimmy wouldn't miss any time.
There is always next year.
reply
I took the bait and I regretted it immediately. The thing is, I was going to take the Bills, so this was just my week to leave the survivor pool. I feel slightly vindicated for not trusting that Bills game.

Winning the hockey pool tuesday will be a good start to getting back on track. What do you think is a good pool or contest for NBA? Should I do something for the tournament. I know it is starting soon but could spin something up this week.
reply
I think a tournament survivor pool could be pretty cool. There are seven Group Stage nights that each have between 5 and 11 games. Then there are three playoff rounds.
We'd have to do two picks each week because the games are Tuesdays and Fridays.
What do you think?
reply
I'll look into the tournament details today and try to think of something fun.
