Me too--I clicked your link above, then "view your groups" and there we all were, lined up for week 1. Not that I actually joined, but whatever--I would have. Maybe I have cookies left in my system from last year?

It appears as if once we visit, we call ourselves into existence. Now I see Urth too! Kind of like a quantum reality state!

I am in. Just by accessing. Weird.

Yup, I'm there too -- thanks to your link. There's nothing on the website directing you to that page or even acknowledging the existence of the Football Pool. Weird.

Well, let's keep our eyes open, just in case we need to re-register or anything, but for the moment, it seems like all we need to to is get everyone to log in.

On main kfog page there is a square graphic with 1,2,3 and 4 tabs. The #4 tab is the foorball pool.

The KFOG web site has what we in "the biz" call a slide carousel as its main component, in which there are four images, linking to four different pages, that rotate on their front page via the miracle of Flash. The football pool is # 4 in the carousel (with a bullet).

I actually do my own on ESPN's and let them take care of the results. I had invited everyone to my group. It's on the sports thread. I guess it got lost in the shuffle or no one wanted to join.
If people want to join before gametime Thursday at http://games.espn.go.com/pigskin/frontpage and search for group name: Yakuza Gaijin and enter password: CowboysSuck it's fine
If you don't want to join, it's fine too.

I missed the whole thing - a friend from SF is in town (Mark: It's Angela.) and we went to see Shakespeare in the Park. (A Midsummer Night's Dream, with Martha Plimpton the only name I knew in the cast.)
But c'mon, Mike, wouldn't you bet on a smile like this?

For those who chose to join my group, I should note that on Thursday, Saturday and Monday games the deadline for those picks is game time. For the Sunday games, it locks at first kickoff of that day 10AM PT/1PM ET. So if you get your picks in on a Thursday with Sunday/Monday games and say you pick the Colts over Patriots, you could change it on Saturday night or early Sunday morning if say Peyton Manning gets hurt and misses the game.

it looks like Gaz is leading, since anyone who's chosen New Orleans has a point!

That's great! We shouldn't!
I'll floy enjoy it while I can.

if I counted correctly, RGMike, Urth & I all share the lead at 10 heading into tomorrow night's doubleheader. We all picked SF, so if Cincy wins they wind up tied for 1st, and if Ballimer wins I have it to myself.

I didn't have the stomach to count my losses, as it seems I picked wrong over and over again!

I guess I picked mizzerably. I'm also the only one who didn't pick SF tonight. What do I know!? :roll:
Going to the game tonight. Last time I went was about 20 years ago.

actually you may be the only one who picked right on that one -- SF are a trendy "much improved" designee (per the pundits) but very far from a sure thing.

sorry to be competitive, but before tonight I was two points worse than you, and might catch you if the Niners win, but I think Mike has a good point (and if he'd wear a hat, he'd cover it!)
;-)

Well the home team pulled thru in the end. Nasty night out there, I left at the end of the third as I was parked way out past Gilman by the water I think. Literally backed up on a gravel incline in the far far last row of some lot way out in no mans land. I'll be happy watching the rest of the season on TV

Pretty much the rationale behind my Titans pick over the Colts. They split close games last year with home field being the deciding factor. Plus the Colts special teams are awful, Vinatieri notwithstanding.

Well, at least it was close!
I'm usually happy to break even (and I will if NE holds on, regardless of who wins on MNF) but jeez: Cleveland wins? the Saints lose?
-
Big win for CLE. 96 pts total game. Yow.
Best I can do is 50% this week with a win on MNF. I sure don't know how to pick 'em.
-

On the ESPN picks, I actually had TB winning over NO but switched it on Saturday night. Then again, at the same time, I had NYG over GB and switched that one, too.

Crazy week. I have 8 right now. Almost had only 7, and would have been glad for it. The Raiders may not be good, but they are certainly much improved.

Right now the KFOG scores on our group are all screwed up. Most of us are scored 2 pts too high, Mike is 4pts too high, Geoff 2 pts too low, and only Ali's score is accurate. Geoff & Urth should be in the lead with 10 for the week, which means Urth should be ahead overall. And since we all picked Philly nothing will change the standings tonight.

Um, I think those are season-to-date scores -- this week's points don't get added until after tonite.

Frustrating stuff. I thought Kevin Curtis was going to make a big impact. And they really should have kept the lovely and talented Jeremy Bloom on the roster to return kicks, thus allowing Gaz to get kicks.

Headline in the Onion sports page this week: "Eagles Fans Give McNabb 3-Week Deadline to Win Super Bowl".
In fact they're on a roll this week -- my fave is "Randy Moss Complains He's Getting the Ball Too Much". And there's a sports graphic about the WNBA that achieves a peak of hilarity and nastiness:

Hope you saw the Eagles FAHB-yoo-luss retro unis today. Keith Olbermann just referred to their "Great Gazoo helmets". LOL!
I hadn't seen Plan 9 since it was on "Creature Features" when I was 9 or 10. Someone who reviewed Dragon Wars recently said it was the kind of movie Ed Wood would make if he'd had access to CGI.

Geoff & I almost matched you in the morning, but didn't pick the GB win.
You will be take over 1st place now. Preliminary scores for Wk 3 (overall):
13 - Mike (33)
12 - Mshray (32)
11 - Geoff (29), Ali (26)
10 - Gaz (30)
9 - Urth (31), Rod (29)
If the Titans win tonight Ali & Gaz will further distance themselves from Urth & Rod. Otherwise everyone else picks up another point.

I usually have one really good week per season, so it may be downhill from here (last year I think I had one 15-for-16 week, but my average was more like 9).

When you're losing as badly as I am, you find your pleasures elsewhere. The Eagles have a player named Winston Justice -- so immediately this came to mind:
"They call him Winston Justice when he's past the legal limit"
(Hey, it's been a rough day...)

I went 8-5 and figured someone else would better that by at least a couple games, but that seems to be the number to beat, if I counted correctly. Geoff and I both got that, and Rod and Alicat are both one behind at 7-6, with the rest a game or two behind that. And we all picked the Pats tomorrow night, so we'll all either tally one more game or we won't. So Mike and I should be tied for the group lead at 39 or 40, and Mark in second by one. (Again, assuming I counted right.)

Well, sounds good; I also figured I was way off, missing so many calls this weekend. Was it actually a weekend for upsets?

Ummm, yes.
The betting line underdog won 9 out of 14 games outright. And it's not like they were squeakers, either. Of those 9 upsets, the Bills won by 3, the Cardinals won by 7, and the other 7 teams won by at least 10 pts!

Was just looking at the scoreboard for last weekend, and if you'd gone with the crowd favorites across the board, you'd have gotten exactly 4 games right.
And the best anyone in the entire pool did for the week was 11 out of 14--pretty good, but considering the number of people playing you'd think someone would have hit on 12 or 13 of 14 games. So yeah, last week was a weird week.

The KFOG MorningCrew are also in the same point-range as us (except Renee, who has apparently dropped out), and we usually do better than them. This is the first week I can ever recall getting the MNF point total correct.

Just read that and had similar thoughts. But take note that he also says that NE may win the game, but not cover the 6-point spread. Since our pool is straight win-loss (no spread involved), caveat emptor.
Still, that's the kind of longshot you'd love to pick...

Or as it turned out, the kind of longshot that doesn't come in. New England kicked some Dallus booty, 48-27. Bettin' Fool, you don' know sheeeit.
And I'm glad I stuck with NE, otherwise I'd have had a really crappy week. As it is, I only got 7 going into Monday night.

Next "big" game is DAL/INDY in couple weeks. Houston is in town so there probably be a blackout for that game so Bay Area will get DAL/INDY.

From Scott Ostler's column yesterday:
"The Raiders host the Texans in two weeks and if that game is a sellout, it will be televised locally, of course. Which would mean that the Patriots-Colts game would be blacked out in the Bay Area. I would never urge Raiders fans to stay home that day in order to make it possible for everyone in the Bay Area to watch a great TV game. I would not do that because Al Davis has about 50 lawyers warming up in the bullpen. Let your conscience be your guide."

Good point there, tho' some would argue that the AFC has more, um, worthy "marquee matchups" than the lowly NFC. A friend who is a HUGE Raider fan and Ninah-hata has always made that argument: that even when the Niners were great, they were great in a crappy conference.

Doing our level best to stay neck and neck thru the season: Mark got 8 this week; Alicat, Rod & Geoff all got 9, Gaz & Mike had 10, and I got 11. I think Mark's still in first among our group, but we're tightening up the pack again.

Yep, should have said that all those totals were pre-MNF. I wrote it about 5:45, despite what the time stamp says.

Wish I'd had the foresight to take last year's bottom 3 teams from the NFC North to go a collective 3-0 against the top 3 teams in the AFC West.
fwiw, the AFC West & NFC West went a combined 0-7 last Sunday. The only team that didn't lose was the 0-8 Rams...who had a bye. Now neither division has a team with a winning record.

No prob, it's happened before with others in our group. I was just going with my gut on my picks, but after I'd entered them I discovered I'd duplicated the "crowd favorites" to the letter. Guess they're crowd favorites for a reason.
-

They're more likely to lose out. Seriously, the Niners are currently the worst team in the league, Rams & Dolphins included, & going in the wrong direction. The Raiders are 2nd or 3rd worst.

Have you SEEN Miami? They are pathetic. Once they lost that rb to injury (he ran ramshod over the Raiders, but then, who doesn't?), they became the odds on favorite for the first pick in next year's draft. They may go 0-16 (tho i picked them to win this week).
But close enough. The bottom 6 -- Atlanta, Rams, Raiders, Niners, J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets, and Miami, in no particular order -- are all extremely feeble. If one of them beats Cincy, then they rise up to 7th worst.

The Dolphins are unquestionably pathetic, but they have lost 3 games by a field goal each, and they have been worse than decimated by injuries (as have the Rams). The only reason the Niners won their first two games (both of which saw them win with under 200 yards of total offense), is because the Rams fumbled a punt deep in their end of the field late in the 4th quarter, and because the Cardinals didn't have the sense to bat a late 4th qtr Niners fumble out of the end zone for a touchback. Both cases resulted in the Niners getting a ball back that in most cases they wouldn't have, which then led to last minute wins.
In a not very dissimilar alternate universe, Dante Hall fields that punt cleanly & the Rams win, the Cardinals either recover the Niners' fumble or at least bat it out of the endzone for a change of possession touchback, and the Niners are 0-8. One missed FG by one of the Dolphins' opponents & they get at least one win. In any case the way the teams have played lately, the Niners are the only team that is actually getting worse week in week out. I'm going to assume the Raiders are going to let JaMarcus play pretty soon, and they might get exciting to watch.

I don't know. It begins and ends in the trenches, and watching JaMarcus run for his life won't be any more fun than watching McCown or Culpepper do the same. O-line woes on both sides of the bay. Oakland's d-line isn't very good either -- 30th in run defense.
This would be a lot more entertaining if the niners and raiders were both good, and we were arguing over which one was the best in the league. :roll:

Pretty dismal time for pro football in the bay area. When has there been a time when both teams sucked so badly? When the Niner had their "dark years" in the 70s, the Raiders were in their glory, and both teams were good or great in the 80s. I guess the latter part of the 90s was kinda rough.

Like Ali, I'm sittin' at 5, and it looks like Gaz has taken the week with a mighty 7 going into tonight's game. I'll be curious to see what the best score for the week for the entire pool is tho--if it's above 10, I'd be amazed. So many upsets this week it wasn't funny.

Here are the guys from HBO, inside the nfl:
Host Scores This Week Season
Cris Carter 7 - 7 91 - 53
Cris Collinsworth 6 - 8 94 - 50
Bob Costas 8 - 6 95 - 49
Dan Marino 5 - 9 88 - 56
I know Collinsworth doesn't pick games he's doing either, but I'm not sure if he's doing games this year, or just the shows around the games. We should give Marino some slack because he sometimes can't help himself and picks the Dolphins.
I pick the Raiders every week now.

Not a good year for former Raiders (I'm assuming that's Marcus). Even worse for current Raiders.

Sir Gaz is the one really deserving of kudos this week. He's got 13 of 15 going into tomorrow night's game (in which all of us but Ali have Tennessee), one more than Mark and two more than Mike or I for the week. And since he was tied with Mark after last week, he's now pulled into a one-game lead among the group. Huzzah!

Gaz & I were identical except I had Cincy & he had Ariz, so when the Cards go that 2nd INT return for a TD, I knew my reign at the top was over. (I'm still ahead on the ESPN board with Gaz & SF Guy, but Gaz has moved into sole possesion 2nd after a 3-way tie)

Nice for the "home" teams to win but I always count on 'em to lose so the win is a little bittersweet. I was watching the Raiders in the 4th with 4 minutes to go and hoping they'd blow it. (sorry Rod)

The rest of us had, ummm, something less than 13 and are starting to see his taillights vanishing in the dust. And we've all got NE tonight (go figure) so the margin between us will remain the same regardless of outcome.

I think you mis-counted, I was 12 for 15 & picked up my 13th pt with 44 seconds left in the game last night.
But if that darn system had allowed me to make my first pick on Thanksgiving (I was an hr before kickoff & the ESPN system let me make my pick there) I'd be in a 3-way tie for 7th overall in the KFOG pool, instead of a 9-way tie for 10th. Oh well.
Over in the ESPN Pigskin Pick'em, where Gaz & I are in SF Guy's group and it shows you your rank and percentile score, my total is 2 pts higher*. This currently has me in 253rd place, but there are so many thousands of participants that my percentile is 99.9%

Heh, I specifically DON'T do this; when I'm on the fence with a pick, I do it one way here and the other way at ESPN. As you can see from the results to date, they balance out about evenly for me.

Actually I think Mike takes the week with 14 going into tonight (unless I miscounted, which I well could have).
I too waffled on a pick, jumping ship from the Rams to the Bengals. Glad I did.

I looked again & saw that, but lost my train of thought before I could ammend my post. Poor Rod, he was the only one who got the Houston upset of TB correct, but then he had to go and pick his Raiders.

Yeah, hope that guy (girl?) is betting real money every week--they'd be doing well. (Of course this pool doesn't take point spreads into account--that would change things profoundly I think.)
I was shocked how many people hit 15 of 16 this week. I quit counting after 50 or so. And even more at 14 of 16.

That Neen37 person with 153 pts would be tied for first in the ESPN contest, and there are literally half a million people in that one. That's how unlikely it is.

Now we only differ on one game: TEN/KC. We're all either gonna do really well or really crappy this week (crappy if we get a bunch of upsets -- tho' OAK over IND would warm Rod's heart).

I turned on the TV tonight, and there they were on channel 2 sports news saying the 49'ers game was on the NFL network, so you can't watch it. It was on NBC! The NFL Network has handed me two losses in a row, but I'm glad about the 49'ers winning!

Well three games in the books at this point & I missed them all. Can't believe my Seahawks stunk it up in Carolina like that.

Here's an intersting bit of historical perspective: This marks the 12th time that two teams that met during the regular season eventually squared off in the Super Bowl. Of the previous 11 cases, 4 times the regular season meeting was decided by 8 pts or more, and in each case the winner also won the Super Bowl, usually in a blowout. In the 7 cases where the regular season game was decided by 7 pts or less, the losing team came back to win the Super Bowl 6 out of 7 times (including NE's first SB upset of the mighty Rams).
