chicken dinner

well congratulations to mike bateman, for holding off ajay/randy for a few weeks and winning the big jackpot.  see you guys next year!

still alive

week 9 results

well, this may have well have been a bye week, with the hawks a 2 TD favorite.

will it be BAL this week?  DEN? we shall see....

No surprise

You both started Seattle.

how 'BOUT them cowboys!

ouch....

another big upset knocks out 4 of the remaining 6....tough game to watch, and makes you hate dallas that much more....;)

big game tonight.....

down to 6....

week 7 results

believe it or not, kingsland forgot to submit his pick AGAIN.  he is left to pick from monday's night game.  not horrible, but not a lock by any means....

close one!

i watched the whole thing.  i had the pats in another survivor league i'm in.  and when i saw them get the ball back with just over a minute left, and saw the pats drop back into the zone D, i knew the jets would have a shot.

a 58 yard field goal attempt.....BLOCKED!!!!

the 3 of you that didn't start the pats in week 3 started them in week 7.  well at least you can relax this sunday....

down to 7

not sure which hurts more.  being beat by tony romo, or losing b/c of a missed 36 yard FG....either way, we're down to 7.

yes, a tie is a loss

fucking bengals.  i NEVER liked that pick.  i should have taken the titans.  but i didn't like that game either.  i hate these leagues.  i'm gonna go drink beer now....

whoops!

bad news for jon dugenio: he started new orleans twice

good news for jon dugenio: he still has seattle available to him tonight.

reminder to everybody: make sure you have a team available when you submit!

scott kingsland

it happens to the best of us.....the forgotten pick.

with so many pools going on, scott forgot about this one, leaving him with only one game from which to choose.  at least it appears to be an easy one.

he takes SEATTLE tonight.

buffaloed!

wow, what a week.  at one point in the 4th quarter during the late games, every game was withing a touchdown.  new orleans pulled it off, the giants pulled away, pittsburgh's offense struggled, but they got the job done, and my rams came very close to upholding my upset of the week.

however, those pesky bills knocked out 7, including 3 teams that had re-bought.

i never got a pick from scott kingsland, so we'll wait and see if it was a communications error, or his mess up.  i'll keep you posted (he still have 2 games from which to choose)....

wow, what a feeling

it's so nice.....

alicia, brian, daniel, and kip....raise you glasses....

cheers.  

nice job.

how great of game was this?  it's still 42-10 with 8 minutes left in the 4th and i'm posting a win.  what a comfort.....like a heavy blanket on a cold winter night, to be able to just RELAX for the next few days, as the other 21 suckers start teams like DETROIT, or PHILLY, or NEW ORLEANS.

let me tell you something....i'm 0 for 2 this year picking the upset....but my upset of the week is st. louis beating philly.  the rams are hungry....the eagles are a SUCKER bet.

prediction: rams 24, philly 20

my lock of the week is new orleans.

want to breeze into week 5 (pun intended): start the saints.  they win by 3 touchdowns this sunday.

good luck!

week 4 results

well jacksonville made it a LITTLE interesting in the first half, but many of us were able to relax a little more in the 2nd half.

not so much for those who started pittsburgh and atlanta.  8 more people got knocked out this week, leaving only 26.

good luck in week 5!

go bucs!

week 3 results

i'd like to have at least ONE week where my team wins by 20+.  i can't take much more of these nail-biters.  

well, we lost one this week.  dan larkin was on a plane during the 1pm deadline and was forced to go with a late game.  he chose the dolphins.

go pats!

well, less than half the league started the pats this week (17 of 35).  early strategy, or oakland fans?

disaster

well, just like my wedding night, "that was fast".

4 super suckers who re-bought, only to be knocked out by the very team that screwed them in week 1.  poetic, yes.  enjoyable, no.

not only did i get to watch san fran squander a 17 point lead, but at the same time i got to watch the yankees blow another 9th inning lead, flushing what little playoff hopes they had left down the drain.

the broncos made it interesting....so did the packers.  my upset of the week pics apparently are only valid for the first 1/2 of games.

fun fact: if denver and green bay would have lost, only 2 players would be left in this pool.

instead, we have 35 teams left.  good luck on stabilizing this rocky start!

week 2 picks

ok, here we are.  week 2.

of the 24 that got knocked out in week 1, exactly 1/2 of them bought back in....including kelly and me.

so...week 2.  denver and green bay are the big picks.

J------E------T------S------jets jets jets!!!!!!

week 1 results

da f*ckin' bears.

ouch.  not only did i pick them, but so did my wife.  we are both buying back in, which is a much bigger sucker bet than taking the eagles, which turned out okay for many of you.

so, here is where we stand in this difficult week 1:

out of 66 teams:

42 advance

7 were eliminated, but have opted to buy back in (pending received payment by this sunday)

12 were eliminated and have not informed me whether they are buying back in (if i don't hear from them/receive payment by sunday, they will be eliminated)

5 were eliminated and smartly walked away

as i've mentioned, this is the ONLY week for the rebuy.  if you lose after week 1, you are eliminated.

best of luck.....

week 1

14-0, jaguars.  i know it's early, but i hear some sphincters tightening....!

good luck!

welcome to goodman survivor, 2014

so far we have 55 people in with 47 of them paid.  the list may continue to grow until game time next weekend.  get those payments in and good luck!

don't forget, if you get kicked out WEEK 1 ONLY, you can buy back in for another 50.
