I'm in at last.
Now the real question will be if I'm able to force myself to pick the Bucs to win at any time during the season.
Tampa Bay could be the next Detroit Lions.
I really hope not but........
(Yes I know. The Bucs set records for losing beginning with their first couple of seasons.)

This is so totally unexpected....I didn't even prepare a speech...I'd like to thank my mom and......oh, Kayne West wants to say something? What? Beyonce deserves what more than I do?!?
Oh, and kins is either 8-8 or 9-7, but not 9-8, unless there's 2 more teams I don't know about.

Looks like I'm holding my own...
danlo, a strategic question, if I may.
The way you compile results, if I were to think I was going to have a bad week, and that turns out to be true, would my compiled stats actually be better to skip a week? It seems when some players skip a week their percentage stays higher than players who may have had a poor week, yet still actually played.
Not complaining, just curious how it works.

Percentage-wise yes, but the game is primarily based on W-L record, IOW, the more you play the better shape you should be in. You can always step out, but you must play at least 12 games to be eligible. One prime example-I firmly believe that I would not have tied aTOMiC for 2nd last year if I had missed one single week. Hope that helps...
