none of the usual tricks (substituting 2008 for 2007 in the url) bring anything up. I wonder (guess I could look it up) when it rolled out last year.

Just looked at last year's thread--first post was on August 28, so I'd guess some time around there. So it should be up soon, if they're doing it again. (And they should--it drives a lot of traffic to their site.)

Anyone going to join the ESPN football pool I put up on the Sports Thread this year?? A few did last year. I remember one or two was but it became too late. You do have a week to add your name. Looks like it could less people from last year due to a couple people who I cannot contact (they would bring a few extra people). Check out the sports thread for the link.

Thanks to Outsports for the tip -- here's a website that lists best/most popular Fantasy Team names:
http://www.fantasyteamnames.net/football
personal faves: "Romosexual Tendencies", "I Beg to Dilfer", "My Vick in a Box", "Brady's Panties in a Bundchen", and (perhaps inevitable) "GreenBay FudgePackers".

"LT in the Loafers" -- LOL.
"Tomorrow Never Addais" -- Clever.
"As Fargas I Can Tell, Justin Sucks" -- Can't tell if this is a Raider fan, or Raider hater.

That's a bit odd -- group or no group, you were always pre-registered by virtue of being a "registered Foghead". Now it's a separate operation altogether, it seems.

The football Cardinals moved to Phoenix around the same time in the offseason 20 yrs ago as the baseball Cardinals lost Jack Clark to free-agency. The Post-Dispatch poll found that 57% of those surveyed thought that losing Clark was a worse blow to St.Louis sports than losing an entire NFL franchise. Which proves two htings: How much of a baseball town St. Louis is, and how rotten the Bidwells' PR was. (fwiw, they're still the owners of the football team & they're about despised in AZ as they were in MO)

so, the school blocks the pool site as a 'gambling' location, so I can't check scores. How'd we do?

Well, I got 9 right. But we're no longer listed as a group so you've gotta look everyone up individually.

PS: No perfect scores. Two people nailed 14; nine more got 13. So Urth is tied for 12th overall.

Sorry, I did some soul-searching and realized I couldn't stick with this over the whole season. Not least because I looked ahead to my schedule and am likely to be traveling in Asia at least twice bewteen now & the playoffs & just got too much on my plate generally. I know if I did it I'd spend many hours trying to bone up, that are better spent on other means of wasting time. ;)

I did better than I expected, except for the Jets hunch. The niners win was unexpected and SD got robbed -- that was a fumble, dang it. Oakland wasn't that much of a stretch, because KC is really really awful. Picking the Raiders this week would be foolish. I'll do it anyway. ::)
-
SD got robbed -- that was a fumble, dang it.
You're absolutely right; Ed "Guns" Hochuli blew the call, and has already been reprimanded for it.
But I can't complain, as it allowed me to get 8 cheap points via Eddie Royal in my fantasy football league.

And without those 8 points, I'd not have won this week's head-to-head matchup; I won 83-75.

Damn. Kaiser has blocked a bunch of what they consider "unsavory" sites (porn and such) and I was astounded to discover they'd blocked the Calif Lottery results page! Presumably for the gambling connotation; so far the KFOG Football Pool is still accessable.
10 years ago when I was at United Behavioral Health, outsports.com was blocked; apparently their software was programmed to look for the word "gay"...

Geoff, "doing great" is putting it mildly. You are in second place tied with two other people, and only one point behind the two leaders (OK, so technically that means you're tied for third). That is freakin' amazing. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it.
That said, here's the standings for our group this week:

Pretty good week. Only dropped 3 games, WAS, DEN, SEA. Geoff alone took STL and Joe triumphed with JAX. We were all split on the SEA/GB game.
Bobcat couldn't submit picks in time.

I have no idea about this week; I think I spent too much time thinking about these picks:

That was un-freakin'-believeable. But they won anyway -- can you imagine if they'd lost? Can't even count on 'em to lose when I need 'em to ;)

I knew we were going to call the time out -- it's currently in vogue to do so in the NFL. I saw it called, but most didn't, so it was a bigger let down for them than for me. I don't know that it would have pissed Al off all that much, but I think it's kind of dumb. Unless it works.

Also want to pick SF but remember the burn to many times previously. I think they just might be fired up with the coaching change and it's a home game... but....won't get fooled again. Probably will. Might change mind by Saturday.

I was/am impressed. Helluva a game. I thought it was over after the shovel pass turnover. I was cheering for the home team to make good and they nearly did. Piss poor final play, shoulda thrown the ball. Glad I picked AZ or I'd be cursing the Niners. I'm doing my 12W/2L happy dance and feeling lucky.

That is the theory I'm going on too: KC, blown out by the Raiders, can't pick them. Of course, they come to Oakland in a few weeks, and that game will be a toss-up.

thanks for the tip--I had missed that. Don't think I'll change my Minnesota pick (they're playing Detroit, so they should win if all they had was a couple of ushers and a one-legged bus driver on the field) but it did make me rethink my pick of New Orleans. Going with Atlanta instead. (I'll edit my picks on the prev. pg to avoid confusion.)

Nice you remembered. I opted not to sleep overnight on the ground at the Fort but did stay at a petty cool hostel near L St. Gorgeous old mansion. A few pics to Facebook later. Went to the capitol this morning and snapped a pic in front of Ahhnuld's Christmas tree. Our tax dollars at work.

Hah! Best of luck with that. Detroit may have the worst defense this year in the history of the NFL. They clearly have the worst defense in the last 14 years - through 14 games anyway - according to the website I trust (www.footballoutsiders.com (http://www.footballoutsiders.com)).

my boring old science viewpoint reminds me that even if you flip a coin 14 times, and it comes up tails, it's still only a 50-50 chance at heads on the next flip. Detroit might well win this game, but on 'any given Sunday,' I'd have to bet against it.

Just the opposite for me -- too little too late, obviously, but I've got 12 wins going into tonite; if SD wins it'll be my best week all year. Go figure.
Is it just me and Joe for Denver tonight? There were a few close games today and it wasn't in my favor.
13 for 16! Why couldn't I have made picks like this all season?

At least Philly came thru. Personally, I'm glad MIN lost; if you have trouble selling out a playoff game at home (the NFL extended the blackout deadline for them... twice!) then your fans don't deserve a championship (it's an indoor stadium, so winter weather didn't factor in).

In my Tri-Valley Times Sunday paper, the photo from the Arizona win was of a fan in the stands holding up a big placard which read:
Finally! A Cold Day In Hell!
(In case you missed it - the Cardinals have now won two consecutive home playoff games. The 1947 NFL Championship, and their win over ATL in 2009.)

Even though I gave myself a 4 month timeout from football this year, I still have been keeping tabs on my favorite football website website www.footballoutsiders.com (http://www.footballoutsiders.com). I mentioned them several times in the past, because both their stat analysis and their feature writng are excellent. My favorite guy there is Mike Tanier, and here is an excerpt from his weekly predictions rundown (http://www.footballoutsiders.com/walkthrough/2009/walkthrough-momentum):
Cardinals fans don't travel for playoff games.
There are three reasons for this: 1) There are no Cardinals fans. 2) The Cardinals never reach the playoffs. 3) There's no good reason to leave Arizona in January.
There are actually a few Cardinals fans in the world besides Will Leitch. There are some retirees in Glendale, the immediate members of the Hightower family, and some Cowboys fans in New Mexico who made a deathbed conversion on December 28th. There just are not enough Cardinals fans to cause a ripple in our nation's air traffic schedule. A US Airlines representative, quoted in The Arizona Republic, called the demand for seats on Phoenix-to-Charlotte flights "noticeable but light," just like the Cardinals running game. <rimshot!>
Phoenix travel agent Eldon Diamond, quoted in the same article, was less diplomatic. "I see zero demand. I think it's hard enough to get Cardinals fans to go to a game here.
Apart from the scarcity of Cardinals fans and the Haley's Comet-like novelty of their playoff berth, the fact remains that the trip from Arizona to North Carolina is no drive up I-95 to see Eagles-Giants. The flight is long, and the weather is unaccommodating. The 10-day forecast for Glendale calls for unrelenting sunshine and highs in the low 70s. Charlotte endured two days of rain and fog early in the week, with more rain and a high in the soggy 50's on tap for Saturday. Only a fanatic would endure a long flight, jet lag, and prohibitive travel costs (it's cheaper to fly to New York from Arizona than to Charlotte) to root for a 10-point underdog attempting a once-per-generation upset. All the Cardinals fanatics in the world could fit in one red eye flight, airport shuttle, and floor of a Ramada Inn, respectively.
(An aside: the North Carolina weather report was a public service for those of us who can never get an accurate forecast from that region because the girl on the Weather Channel is always pregnant. I don't know if it's the same girl, remarkably fecund, or possessing an elephantine gestation cycle, or if my preferred viewing time is the default shift for meteorologists-with-child. But I always seem to get my weather reports from a young woman late in her third trimester, her distended belly dangling in front of Kill Devil Hills, obscuring the coastal communities. A few years ago, a hurricane slammed into Cape Hatteras, but it was only detectable by ultrasound.)"

Total wipe-out for me: the only game I picked to be an upset (SD/PIT) was the only one that wasn't. Kudos to Gaz's home state boyz.

methinks some bookies may have lost some money, although I don't really know how that works.

It is, of course, an endless source of amusement to gay sports fans that the devout Mr Warner is married to one of the most lesbian-looking women on the planet:

Au contraire! In the history of all sports (I saw this on ESPN a few yrs back), the single greatest example of homefield advantage occurs in Rd 2 of the NFL playoffs (since the institution of the wild-card weekend). Given a playoff bye week, Rd 2 home teams have won greater than 75% of their games. No other home field advantage anywhere in any sport has construed greater than 62% advantage (might be even lower, if memory serves).
So picking a nice round number like 75%, you have less than a 1% chance of correctly picking 3 road wins and one road loss*.
Not at all surprising, especially considering the Panthers were this yr's only team to go 8-0 at home.
*in any 4-game parlay where the road team is at 25%, the odds = 0.25 x 0.25 x 0.25 x 0.75. Correctly picking the one team in these four with the 75% chance of winning introduces a further 25% odds. Hence the final result is a 0.00879 chance of getting it exactly right.
So stand tall Tinka-Cat!

I went 0-for-2 again but I'm glad to have a team to root for in 2 weeks (namely Pittsburgh). I can't root for the Cardinals due to the Kurt Warner "God Squad" factor, and I dislike the Ravens even more due to the Ray Lewis Gangsta Thug factor. So GO STEELERS!

The commercials were HORRID! All of them except the Budweiser Clydesdales involved destruction and/or abuse! Weird how consistent a theme that was.
But what a fantastic game! Of course I'm delighted, but I must add that the Cards should hold their heads high; they played a fine game, especially Warner and Fitzgerald.
As for Kurt's wife - I've got $25 saying that was a wig.

I never watch the commercials. During breaks, I channel surf. Saw a little bit of I Love Lucy on Hallmark throughout the afternoon. Although the way I do it, I tend to miss some of the game.

The three he mentions as good (Hulu w/Alec Baldwin, Dylan/will.i.am for Pepsi & the Coca Cola bugs stealing the bottle) were absolutely the only ones I said to myself at the time were truly worthy of the distinction of being a Super Bowl ad.
And I likewise was sick & tired of all the slapstick violence - didn't do a thing for me. Especially agree with PH on Jack getting hit by a bus. I recall 20+ years ago when Jack-in-the-Box made a big deal of blowing up the clown (when it wasn't an actual human) and removing it from most of their marketing, and then a few years later pulling a 180 and making a big deal of "Jack is Back". So I hope we really can assume he is dead now.

yeah, the Jack thing was really disturbing -- the cracks in his head and all. Their commercials with Jack are consistently some of my favorites, so it's doubly disappointing that they'd do something so dark.
One upon a time Super Bowl spots were smart, clever and even sophisticated. I think that, over time, ad agencies have concluded that the "typical" SB-watcher is none of those things, so better to be thuddingly obvious and frat-boy-ish.

BTW, there's a website with updates on Jack's "condition" and where you can post your homemade get-well videos...

"I think it was cool that Bruce gave Brenda Warner an acoustic guitar and brought her on stage."

Jon Caramanica is the uber-freelancer. I've seen his byline over the years far more than that of any other music journo. He's generally more in his element talking about R&B and hip-hop, I find, though.

kinda weak to complain that Bruce *edited* his songs for the 12 minutes he was performing. True, we all would have preferred the loo-o-o-ong versions, but it's a halftime show. I mean, there's other stuff to complain abt.
I didn't see the whole thing -- didn't even watch the game, actually, and I only caught Bruce b/c I was walking past an establishment showing the show, so I stopped in -- but I heard a little of Born To Run and it seemed like there was some lip-synching going on there..was it just me? at times Bruce didn't seem anywhere near the mic when we could hear the words very clearly, a little lacking in enthusiasm, and sung like he was NOT out of breath in the slightest.
But Bruce looked awesome, esp compared to "Not-So-Little Steven" (a punny name I read somewhere -- prob in an sfgate.com snarky headline). I agree that their goofy delay of game/Boss time shtick was a little too much, too forced.
