NFL Last Man Standing Pick 'Em 2015 ROUND 2 OPEN!

[Hoopz]

Well they may have been cheating before they started winning.  Chad didn't start cheering for them until they started winning. 

Maybe it took them a bit until they started cheating well.   

[pbj]

I just think it sucks when people just pick the patriots every other week.

Has this been a problem in the past?  I never really noticed it and your proposal will hopelessly complicate this.

No need to invoke Chad and his vivid fantasy life in this thread, kthx.

[Malenko]

More than once people just flipflopped between the 2 undefeated teams.  It was rampant the year the pats went undefeated in the regular season and ultimately lost the super bowl to the Giants.


I don't see how making sure someone doesn't pick the same team twice is any more complex than making sure they don't pick a team involved in back to back games. I digress, the rules aint gonna change and Im out week 1 for the first time ( usually get bounced week 2 lol)

[BadMouth]

meh, picked the Patriots over the Dolphins the first game of last year and that didn't go so well for me.

I had no intention of picking them all season.  I start with the bad teams and see who they're playing.
Perhaps I should stop doing that for the first game.

[Vigo]

You know that's Chad's favorite team.  Or it was until the Pats started winning cheating.   

FTFY

Did anyone else watch the fox pregame stuff last sunday? It was nothing but an hour long apology to Tom Brady and the Patriots for ever calling them cheaters.

although I did enjoy the cameo from Carl Winslow.

I wouldn't watch Fox to save my life.  And CBS's coverage is worse.  ESPN's makes me want to vomit.  Michael Irvin can't shut up but Marshal Faulk is a great analyst.  I'm sticking with the NFL Networks coverage.

Any my six year olds who don't watch football ask me every few days "What's the name of that team that cheats?"  Lately, I say the Patriots but I've been known to throw the Pack out there too.   

[Malenko]

Jon Gruden is easily the worst football announcer Ive ever heard in my life. All he does is suck the dick of whoever made the last play.

[pbj]

Cris Collinsworth has always driven me nuts, personally.  Phil Simms is always guaranteed to get my dad berserk.  Guess we all got our pet peeves.

Cris Collinsworth is a close second.  Id rather hear Phil Simms over Lou Holtz though

[Vigo]

in Collinsworth's defense, he has improved. Still terrible, but I remember those first years were just brutal. Everything that came out of his mouth was on the level of the drunk guy at buffalo wild wings who is cheering for the losing team...on the game that nobody else is watching.

[pbj]

Well, as someone that's rewatched the glorious 4th quarter of that Cowboys-Giants game a couple of times, it's always 'amusing' to listen to Collinsworth flip flop on who's the better team and act like that's been his position the entire game. 

The issue with Phil Simms, if I can recall the rants correctly, won a Super Bowl and got kicked off his team, got his son the starting quarterback position on a college team over a better alternative, and says ridiculous things along the lines of, "he dropped that pass because the second knuckle on his left ring finger wasn't properly flexed, a mistake I never would have made."  I just try to keep my head down and my mouth shut.

Someday... maybe... we'll get the stadium announcer only feed on a TV game...

[Vigo]

I wish I could figure out an easy way to sync a radio broadcast with the tv. Before the tv delay got so bad, I would do that quite a bit.

[pbj]

There's apps for that, bro.  Those are specifically broken out for Phil Simms days.

[Vigo]

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up!

[yotsuya]

Nothing's worse than Troy Aikman calling a Cowboys game.

[vwalbridge]

[pbj]

Nothing's worse than Troy Aikman calling a Cowboys game.

Why's that?  He used to be pissed that Romo was getting so much attention, but now he seems to revel in the chokes.  So I'm with him there.

[Vigo]

He actually got pissed at more than a few QB's that got attention. He's mellowed, but I remember that distinct attitude from him that he is the guy with the rings and that is all that counted.

[Hoopz]

I agree with everyone that those color guys are awful but I hate Nantz more than all those guys combined.  I'd much rather listen to the guys like Ian Eagle that only do regional games.  At least they know that they aren't covering the Paris Peace Talks and generally leave the schtick to the big name morons.  They try harder and generally want to be good.

[pbj]

Ah... I'm really only paying attention during Cowboys games.  If I have another game turned on and the crowd noise gets intense enough I might quit jerking off and look up from my iPad for just long enough to see the guy run into the end zone.

Aikman's inspires all kinds of weird reactions out of people.  I've heard things like,

"I don't care that he's gay."
"He's out of it most of the time."
"He gives nuanced and insightful commentary."
"He wishes he could get back in the game."



I'll say this for him.  He'd take the hit if it meant completing the pass.  And that pass went where it was supposed, even if the receiver didn't.  I still call him Robo-Throw to irritate people.

Cant argue with that.

[opt2not]

Wow Arizona! Larry Fitzgerald was beasting it for my FF team! Also picked up Arizona's defense this week, 18-points?? WOOOT!

I got 20 points from them on D.

[pbj]

And the pick em goes down in flames.   

[markrvp]

LET'S GO PACKERS!!!!!

[Malenko]

If the pack looses, Hoopz wins in week 3.  That has got to be a BYOAC record for fastest win.

Just thinking the same thing.

[harveybirdman]

---gosh-darn--- it. Oh well at least Atlanta is 2-0

[pbj]

Jerry Jones reportedly said he felt lower than a crippled cricket's ass.  Romo's nickname has apparently been cricket all these years. 

Damn good thing they didn't draft Manziel.  Brandon Weedon to the rescue.

[yotsuya]

Brandon Weedon to the rescue.

I'm sure all of Arlington and their associated fans woke up in a cold sweat to that thought.

I hope they sign Tebow

[pbj]

People need to let Tebow go.  How many chances is that guy going to get?
