Thanks for hosting again. Sorry about the stains in the carpet, I think we got most of the mess picked up and we left the trash out back by the fence. Manbird is still asleep in the front bedroom and no one wanted to wake him up.... so sorry about that too.  Is this like the baby jesus thing, and now Ron has to bring pizza for everyone next time?

You can't be Aaron Rodgers until  Aaron Rodgers decides to stop being Aaron Rodgers.  Then you can be Aaron Rodgers and we'll all speculate on how long you will keep being Aaron Rodgers.

Claro?

Thanks.  Will the Playoff Pick-Em group be activated this season?

I think now is as good a time as any to share that I'm considering retirement.  

2 years.  2 imaginary trophies. The minutes of preparation and the pressures of wondering "did I remember to pick the Thursday night game nobody can see" every week takes their toll...

At some point, the carousel comes to a stop and it's time to get off, and I think you kind of know when that is. 

And that's what needs to be contemplated. Is it time? 

(When training camp starts, I'll see if I can rally for another go  )

Not true...I got a shiny trophy from ESPN!  (they say I can share it, we'll see).

Congrats to Proclivities, Ron, ColdMiser and Islander for picking 11 winners on the last weekend of the regular season. Great job. gentlemen!

Well, if ding bat here had remembered her Thursday night picks in time I might have beat Manbird to the bottom.  As it is Way To Go Ron!!!!

As mentioned congratulations go to Ron for winning on the strength of the Texans coming through for him like they did for Sam Houston in Goliad.

Seriously, you were able to keep Islander at bay and you did a great job of picking all year long!As always you win absolutely nothing except bragging rights until next season.

Dang it, ManBirdio you gave SB all you had and were able to hold on to your prize. Your Nostradamus like ability to pick wrong is legendary amigo.


Thanks to all off you who played this year. Once again the NFL proved to be a strange animal to tame. Just when you thought your picks were right a pick-6 or a scoop and score snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and change everything...I think I stunk up the place worse this year than I have in years. I'm humbled by my suckitude but barring injury, a pulled groin or some such,  in the off season I will be back. Thanks again for a great season it was fun and I look forward to playing again next season.

It's pretty amazing that we have tied the past 4 weeks.   

If only you'd have trusted that Denver intel.

Got close, Ron just made it a little too hard. Well done sir.

well, it's better this way. The first speech had way too much profanity and calls for an insurrection. 

Well done Ron.

 hey Ron, I hear Denver is about to turn things around, new turf and all .

We'll see how today goes, I might go hail mary at the end - it would align with my homer chances.  Those usually work out right?
