Superbowl Pool Down To Two!
 
I think we all knew Minnesota was gonna beat Detroit, but how the fuck did Chicago beat Denver? Hell, Portis had 165 yards rushing & Smith caught 9 passes & 1 TD!!!

Well, in any event, that means that Linkster & Xporn are the final 2 in our SuperBowl Pool
Congrats to both of you |roses|

* BTW - if either of you want to pick a a team from Thursday's games, you must email me by 6 PM Wednesday. I'll probably double check with both of you before then to see if either of you plan on picking one of those games :)

|cry| i can't believe this it's just |bullshit| |cry|

Fonz 2003-11-24 06:07 AM

Good luck to both of you |bananna|

Damn adamneve, this must suck

Sumrpal 2003-11-24 08:48 AM

Tough break Adamneve. I know how you feel! |angry|

Congrats to Linkster and Xporn! |roses| This is going to be an exciting finish. |bananna|

Ramster, told yu Tennessee would win. I had St Louis, away, last week too and they won (though not by as much as they were supposed to .. LOL)

I don't know .. the NFL is weird sometimes. |dizzy|

Jim 2003-11-24 08:55 AM

Yep...good luck guys :)

Torn Rose 2003-11-24 09:17 AM

Congrats!

Damn, a 50/50 shot at a trip to the Super Bowl with $1000 all free.

That's the "worst" thing I could ever have happen to me. =o)

jennym 2003-11-24 09:51 AM

LOL
Of course they'd win (you'd think). As I said earlier my pick would have been the easy one, which was Minnesota.

Adamneve, that really does suck for a fave to lose like that. That's the only way people have been losing the last few weeks. I would have thought that when it got down to the eight it would have gone on like that for a few weeks until everyone's picks got limited and they had to start taking chances. Not faves losing like they have. |crazy|

Good luck to the final two!!!

Hank_Heartland 2003-11-24 01:38 PM

Hey Congrats to Linkster and Xporn!

The Beeeeeeears will kick ass the rest of the year when it don't mean shiiiiiiiiiiiiit|pissleft| |angry|

XPorn 2003-11-24 01:40 PM

Thanks all!

And Adamneve...sorry to see you go...your pick was a good one...

But trust me.....losing this upcoming week is gonna suck for one one us!!|sad|

Should be interesting...I'm still pouring over the games.....seeing what my magic 8 ball has to say.....

XPorn

Linkster 2003-11-24 06:46 PM

Well - congrats to everyone that was in this - its been a weird set of games - and gotta agree Ramster there were some pretty unusual upsets.

XPorn - guess Ill have to use my backup method now that I see you're already using the magic 8ball (making a mad rush to New Orleans to get some chicken bones and frog eyes) :)

Extreme John 2003-11-24 08:43 PM

hey congrats guys, and to the ones that fell off this week, I know it hurts, it always hurts when it gets that close, im with ya. Hell now you get to watch football with no stress :)

MMemmer 2003-11-25 07:55 PM

|waves| |bananna| Hehe, don't keep us all in suspense, I say we wipe out Minnesota in Week 12 and ask for a second pick!|rasta|

ShermsShack 2003-11-26 03:14 AM

Good luck, and may the best man win!

Greenguy 2003-11-26 08:45 AM

Seeing as it is Wednesday, I will be emailing or ICQ'ing both of you today (probably now) to see if you plan on picking one of tomorrow's games :)

Ramster 2003-11-26 11:31 AM

Guys, Detroit is primed for an upset. |scared|

Greenguy 2003-11-26 11:32 AM

Linkster said he'd probably not pick a game for Thursday.

XPorn mumbled something about injuries & starting QB's :D

XPorn 2003-11-26 12:13 PM

Sending my pick in 5 minutes. The magic 8 ball has spoken!

XPorn

Linkster 2003-11-26 03:46 PM

Ill be holding out till Friday morning :) with family here Im not going to be around much - pretty sure of who Im going with but want to wait out the holiday - just in case anyone keels over from a turkey bone accident LOL

XPorn 2003-11-26 03:52 PM

Hummm...

Shouldn't we make the deadline the night before ANY game occurs? What makes ya think I didn't pick a Thursday game....

What if we move to next week and so on...with Saturday games....

We can't wait until Saturday games are over......

Food for thought......(gloves are off ....lol)
XPorn

Greenguy 2003-11-26 03:52 PM

I have XPorn's pick, but I will of course not release it til I get Linkster's :)

Linkster 2003-11-26 04:22 PM

XPorn - I think Greenie had said that if we are picking a game on Sat or a Thurs game they had to be in by 6 the previous day

BTW - the turkey bone thing was meant towards the starting QBs and such - not you :) hope I didnt say that wrong - waiting on injury reports that wont be out till Fri morning |goodnight

XPorn 2003-11-26 04:31 PM

cough cough...help...get this bone outta my neck...

lol..

No biggie.....should be a fun long weekend of games...beginning tonight with the Red Wings......

XPorn

Linkster 2003-11-26 04:37 PM

red wings eh? nope wont go there LOL - it will be a great weekend and hopefully we both make it through this week :)

Have a great Thanksgiving :)

Greenguy 2003-11-27 06:04 AM

No picks for todays games (good move, guys - LOL) so the regular Noon on Saturday deadline is in effect :)

Ramster 2003-11-27 03:24 PM

Part way through the 4th and it's 19-14 for Detroit. LOL

Greenguy 2003-11-28 05:05 PM

I know who XPorn picked - I know who XPorn picked |bananna|

Greenguy 2003-11-28 05:51 PM

...and now everyone will know :)

Linkster just sent in his pick, so the Super Bowl Pool has been updated.

Good luck guys :D

Linkster 2003-11-28 06:23 PM

Good Luck XPorn - looks like we're both gonna need it :)

Sumrpal 2003-11-28 11:22 PM

Houston and Chicago !?!? |rasta|

Good luck guys. It'll be an exciting day. |priesthol

If I remember right .. if they both lose, they get to pick again next week? Right?

XPorn 2003-11-29 12:40 AM

Good Luck Linkster!!!

Heres to Michael Vick making the field! ;-)

Stop being so negative - LOL

Yes, if they both loose, they will both be able to pick again next week:

"7 - In the event there is a tie at the end of the contest (after Week 17), we will randomly draw a winner from those that are in the tie. If there is a tie before Week 17, we will extend the contest until we have one winner or until the end of the season. (meaning if in Week 15 there are 4 people left & all 4 loose, they will go again in Week 16)"

Sumrpal 2003-11-29 10:39 AM

LOL ... you're right. I looked over the schedule in more detail and they took two of the best picks that were available to them. :)

My NFL source agrees with them .. Bears by 6 .. Texans by 10.

With my quirk of picking away winners, I would have been hard-pressed to choose between either Philly and Tampa Bay.

But I'll be cheering for Chicago and Houston. |cheerlead

:)

Ramster 2003-11-29 12:27 PM

Those are some goddam gutsy picks! Though looking things over there isn't a lot of choices really although I would have thought TampaBay would have slipped in there by one of you guys. This is surely the hardest week for picks thanks to the even matchups and lack of choices due to the teams already taken. Good luck!!

Jim 2003-11-30 02:00 PM

Just a quick update for those not watching 4 games at the same time :)

Atlanta 6 2nd
Houston 0


Arizona 3 2nd
Chicago 7

Jim 2003-11-30 02:40 PM

Another update here at halftime

Atlanta 7 Halftime
Houston 3

Arizona 3 3rd
Chicago 7

Jim 2003-11-30 03:35 PM

Another update...I thought we would have a winner today but it is looking like we will go another week. But who knows???

Atlanta 10 4th
Houston 17


Arizona 3 4th
Chicago 14

Jim 2003-11-30 04:09 PM

Looks like you guys both picked well...congrats.

XPorn 2003-11-30 04:29 PM

Damn it Vick!! 1st and 10 to the goal and he has to fuck it up!!! damn him!

See ya on the field next week Linkster!!!!!! |lightsabe

XPorn

Linkster 2003-11-30 05:17 PM

XPorn - I really didnt think they would put him in - thought the Falcons were putting out a little misleading press as they sometimes do :)
I just got lucky this week - next week will be a different story (hopefully) and Ill pick someone that really can win hands down :)

Good to see us both make it through - makes it all good
