Race for Caleb Williams: Why Thursday is the Bears' only must-win game the rest of the season Thought the analytics in this one were interesting haha

Roquan Smith reflecting on his trade from Chicago to Baltimore:

Semana Nueve is done and over with and the rankings have changed despite no one (aside from me) really having a terrible week - but football is a game of inches and Pickems is a game of points; one decent week might look good if everyone has a bad one or look terrible if everyone has a good one. What I am talking about: Check the standings PLAYER TOTAL POINTS livid 105 Damshow 100 Your Mom 100 LL! 99 Cut2theKwik 96 Busch 94 MAXX 90 DFF 90 Fitzy 89 Szumi 85 Krabby 77 jrhodes 75 Congratulations to @livid for clawing his way to the top of the heap for this week on the back of a perfect week! That earns you a Perfect Plex (or Fisherman's Suplex because WCW yadda yadda yadda): Here's how those standings got where they are this week: And oh ho? What's that I spot - life may be trash for the New York Football Giants but at least @Busch Wyatt can hang his hat on this week's second perfect slate! And a Perfect Plex for you as well! LL nearly had one if Dak Prescott could have came through against the Eagles, Fitzy and jrhodes both rode the Belichick train and derailed, and Your Mom's chance for a perfect week deflated as much as the Dolphins offense did in Germany. --------------- WEEK TEN NFL GAMES Home teams are on the right Pick winners AND assign a point value to each game (use each number once: 1,2,3,4, and 5) DEADLINE IS FIRST KICKOFF ON SUNDAY! I made sure not to select another European game to avoid a similar situation to last week - my bad, all! @Cut2theKwik @Maxx @gunnar hendershow @Your Mom @DFF @LL! @livid @jrhodes @Fitzy @Szumi @Busch Wyatt

A conspiracy was floated on the Dan LeBetard Show that he never actually tore his Achilles so that he can "defy" science by coming back so early - apparently he is off crutches and chucking 50 yard passes in workouts

Results will be out tomorrow but to quick address this: To be fair by the rules, I cannot count those points from that game but as your other picks were in before I will count them. I will say this: I definitely did not remember that game was in Germany and did not make it known to everyone that that game was early, so some of that is definitely on me for not being informed and I do apologize.

Still need @Szumi and @livid!

Miami Dolphins (3) vs Kansas City Chiefs Washington Commanders (2) vs New England Patriots Seattle Seahawks vs Baltimore Ravens (1) Dallas Cowboys (5) vs Philadelphia Eagles Buffalo Bills vs Cincinnati Bengals (4)

Why did they use a picture of Derrick Carr then?

Week 8 is in the books and so is another week of Pickems! The standings at the top are getting tighter, let's have a looksy at them: PLAYER TOTAL POINTS Damshow 91 livid 90 Your Mom 88 LL! 85 Cut2theKwik 84 MAXX 80 DFF 79 Busch 79 Fitzy 78 Szumi 75 Krabby 70 jrhodes 62 I've managed to crabclaw my way out of last place! Yay go me. Meanwhile Damshow must be livid about losing much of his lead while your mom, ll, and c2tk are hanging out not too far back. The middle bunch cannot be ruled out either as there is a lot of football to play and picks to make! How did we arrive at this not-Final Destination? Let's have a looksy at the detailed results breakdown - over to you Krabby! Thanks Krabby - as we can see on the big board here Bryce Young winning the battle of the rookie QBs on a last second field goal ruined everybody's sheet but mine (but I was fool enough to trust Tyrod Taylor's health and Brian Daboll's decision making ). Elsewhere - a lot of green I see with just a few other missteps here and there; not bad when the AMOV in these 5 games was only 6 points! ------------------------ WEEK NINE NFL GAMES Home teams are on the right Pick winners AND assign a point value to each game (use each number once: 1,2,3,4, and 5) DEADLINE IS FIRST KICKOFF ON SUNDAY! May the odds ever be in your favor! @gunnar hendershow @Cut2theKwik @Maxx @Your Mom @DFF @livid @LL! @jrhodes @Fitzy @Busch Wyatt @Szumi - A Polack

I wonder if that had something to do with the whole "1 catch for 11 yards from Davante Adams" thing from last game lol

Well Dobbs does have playoff experience! hahaha Well I guess this means that we are going with Jaren Hall as the main guy then and seeing what the kid can to do out there

JJ for Lamb and Lance?

Vikings Provide Update on Kirk Cousins, Confirm Torn Achilles Welllllll fudge Not sure they're ready to turn things over to Jaren Hall or if they'll look to add a QB in his place. Andy Dalton looked ok in his 1 start with Carolina, Case Keenum's name I have heard thrown around and that would be a typical Minnesota move to see if he can Minneapolis Miracle our way into the playoffs. Of course Trey Lance's name is tossed out there as he's a MN guy but that's a huge wild card and who knows the cost. Carson Wentz is out there twiddling his thumbs at home - so I guess, there's an "option" if you want to call it that. IDK who else might be ont he radar.

Mrs. Krabby was listening to a Halloween playlist today and a song by a group called The Meteors came, turns out they are from the UK - are they (or were they) big over there?

Minnesota Vikings (5) vs Green Bay Packers Houston Texans vs Carolina Panthers (1) New York Jets vs New York Giants (2) Jacksonville Jaguars (4) vs Pittsburgh Steelers Cleveland Browns vs Seattle Seahawks (3) Still need @Fitzy and @Szumi - A Polack i believe

Five Nights At Freddy's was extremely underwhelming, imo. In a vacuum it was an ok movie, and the main guy does an alright job, but the movie never really gets out of first gear and it never really elicits any of the feelings of the game(s). A lot of time feels wasted to somehow both over and under establish character and plot points; time that could have been much better spent on other things. Also, super entirely too predictable.

Tyrod Taylor ain't nothing to sneeze at, not even necessarily tanking if he wins them some games

AND WE'RE BAAAAAAAAACK After last week's hiatus, Pickems is back and ready for action - huzzah! Here's the standings after Weeks 6 and the free week of week 7: Damshow 85 livid 80 Your Mom 76 Cut2theKwik 75 LL! 74 DFF 71 Busch 71 MAXX 68 Fitzy 68 Szumi 65 Krabby 57 jrhodes 53 Damshow reigns supreme thus far but he's not out of the woods as several people sit 10 or less (or 11) points back with lots of time to go. We ended up with THREE PERFECT SHEETS for week 6 - so instead of a Mr. Perfect gif, I offcially bestow upon @gunnar hendershow @livid and @Busch Wyatt a Mr. Perfect led-stable video: You all can decide which one of you gets to be whichever of the West Texas Rednecks! How did everyone else do - let's have a look in the detailed results Ever so close for Fitzy and Cut2TheKwik - maybe you guys can be the No Limit Soldiers then! Everyone got 15 points for Week 7 because you are all just so wonderful for playing. Onward and upward! ------------------------------------ WEEK EIGHT NFL GAMES Home teams are on the right Pick winners AND assign a point value to each game (use each number once: 1,2,3,4, and 5) DEADLINE IS FIRST KICKOFF ON SUNDAY! @Fitzy @DFF @Your Mom @gunnar hendershow @Cut2theKwik @jrhodes @Maxx @Busch Wyatt @livid @LL! @Szumi - A Polack

Stick tap to Travis Dermott who ignored the ban and used pride tape last night

I never finished the OG Paper Mario so I have been playing that since I got the Nintendo Online Expansion Pack - further than I ever got back in the day (never owned it but rented it a bunch though) - having a lot of fun with it!

El Reptil chased from the game! Big start for the Rangers

I heard the Titans are wearing their Kelly Green throwbacks for their next game

You gotta love Game 7s in sports - the decisive final match, the rubber game, whatever you want to call it. Hoping for a good game tonight - Astros and Rangers have been so close, same record in the regular season and a back and forth series too where each team has won a 1-run game and won a blow out game; they've both won at home and on the road as well. Now it comes down to 1 game, Mad Max vs El Reptil, for a shot at the the title!

Hi! Yes I was just about to post that - due to issues with the Krabby Family (intense car hunting and research and deep cleaning house) we will pick back up next week!
