Tywin et al.

Jesus you guys weren't kidding. I just checked the numbers and they're apocalyptic for everyone.

Yeah that's correct.

True, but little changes at this point as we largely select the same winners.

This is getting frustrating. I have the second most wins with a 70$ ration and I'm still in the bottom half of the league. The good thing is 2-7 are fairly bunched up. I'd be in third place right now if I hadn't been an idiot three weeks ago and gone 13-1, but forgot to add the confidence points for several games. dbunting has a strong poll position, so absent him making a giant mistake and/or someone going on a heater, he should win this year.

As I expected, there were a lot of drops this week, and yours truly was the worst out of everyone who remembered to make their picks. The winner of the week is last place Rocksniffer. Go figure. Always picking upsets worked out for a change. He had 80 points. There was a two way tie for second between Manhole and Pyro with 78 points. They round out the top three. Now let's move on and forget this week happened. Here's where we stand: 1 dbunting 783 65 86-44 2 Bronze Stones 752 59 93-39 3 aceluby 748 52 82-48 4 White Harbor Bakers 743 70 86-46 5 Kessler's Sports Book 742 72 86-46 6 Ramsay 737 63 85-45 7 Tywin 736 57 90-42 8 Lumpy the Greek 724 59 84-46 9 Joe Pesci 722 51 81-49 10 Sunspear Serpents 715 0 79-53 11 ThatPyroFlow 708 61 83-48 12 rocksniffer 703 55 78-52

Yeah he's full of it. First world problems!!!

Another week is in the book, and a lot of players did well this week. Pesci wins the week with 79 points. I claimed second with 76 points, and I'm 25-3 over the last two weeks with nothing to show for it. Rounding out the top three was KSP with 75 points. Here are the current standings: 1 dbunting 715 65 79-37 2 Bronze Stones 683 69 85-34 3 aceluby 676 52 74-42 4 White Harbor Bakers 672 71 77-42 5 Kessler's Sports Book 669 73 76-41 6 Tywin 667 69 81-35 7 Ramsay 666 63 77-39 8 Joe Pesci 658 51 73-43 9 Sunspear Serpents 656 59 72-47 10 Lumpy the Greek 646 59 75-41 11 ThatPyroFlow 630 61 74-43 12 rocksniffer 623 55 69-47

I normally do my Thursday afternoon. However, I don't always look in the CPs for each game, and I started vomiting just as I left work, so I only selected the most obvious ones and the TNG.

I’m happy with the trade, though it obviously sucks to lose Brown. However, I did need another RB with Powell going down and Landry will always get targets, though maybe not yards, and that contract is attractive. Going into next year I’ll have two QB1s and they only cost me $19, 5 RBs, none of which are 1s, but two 2s, two 3s and one that’s a mystery box for just $19 and two WR3/4s for $5, and I’ll have them both for the next three seasons. And since I have less than $10 in dead money, I’ll have 75% of my cap to play with. This is essentially the goal I’ve had for two years. Collect cheap contracts on decent to good players with the hope they become great and shed all the bad contracts I was dealt. I’d say now is about the time that I can land on an aircraft carrier with my junk highlighted.

Week 8 is in the books and two teams went 13-1. Rocksniffer won the day on points with 103. I think I would of had the same, but I was hungover and forgot to finish up my confidence points. I literally ran to the computer froze the options. Therefore, KSB gets second place with 101 points. Third place was a tie between dbunting and Ramsay. dbunting continues to inch ahead, and could be tough to catch if he continues to finish top three in most weeks. In other words, start failing you miserable punk! Here are the current standings: 1 dbunting 647 65 70-33 2 Bronze Stones 614 69 76-28 3 aceluby 612 52 66-37 4 White Harbor Bakers 601 71 67-36 5 Kessler's Sports Book 594 73 66-38 6 Ramsay 593 63 66-37 7 Tywin 591 69 71-32 8 Sunspear Serpents 591 65 64-41 9 Joe Pesci 579 51 62-41 10 Lumpy the Greek 579 59 66-37 11 rocksniffer 564 55 62-41 12 ThatPyroFlow 558 61 64-40 Sigh, second best record and I'm in the bottom half of the league. RIGGED SYSTEM FAKE NEWS PEOPLE ARE PICKING ILLEGALLY BOTH SIDES IT'S A HOAX DISGUSTING AND EVIL!!!!!

Mother------! I'm going to go 13-1 this week and finish in the bottom third in points. And the one game I lost would have been where I assigned a very low point total. This is what you get when you stay out late and want to sleep in.....

Goff would be interesting for the right price. My cheap young QBs are coming off of the books soon. Best I can offer is Brown on a one year deal.

Yeah that's what I meant. Both would be hilariously awful. I do think the best record should win the day because the points are random and removing them would avoid the aforementioned issue, but if people want to keep it there will be no changes. It's just something I'll keep in the back of my mind and we can vote on that and some other stuff if people want next summer.

I finished second both years I've played, and yes I had a double digit lead on you two years ago. I just didn't know how the confidence points worked the first few weeks so I just put them in the order of the games. Speaking of which, since I'm in charge now, is anyone interesting in switching it to picking against the spread next year? I don't gamble anymore, but I think it would be fun to see if we could make money off of this.

Week six was great for some and terrible for others. Bronn won the day with our first triple digit score, notching 101 points. However, little ground was gained on dbunting as he came in second with 96 points. He is starting to pull away from the pack. Rounding up the top three was Pyro with 95 points. Here's where we stand after six weeks: 1 dbunting 462 65 48-27 2 Sunspear Serpents 445 77 48-28 3 Bronze Stones 441 69 55-21 4 aceluby 431 52 45-30 5 White Harbor Bakers 423 71 48-27 6 Tywin 422 69 48-27 7 Ramsay 420 63 46-29 8 Lumpy the Greek 418 59 47-28 9 Kessler's Sports Book 407 73 44-32 10 Joe Pesci 405 51 43-32 11 rocksniffer 395 55 40-35 12 ThatPyroFlow 393 61 46-30

Yeah, that’s usually the case for the first half of the season. But like I said we have it noted and we’ll figure it out at the end of the year.

The three of you that picked the Giants, defend yourselves.

I'm inclined to give you and @mcbigski a one time pass. We'll address it at the end of the year if it has a noticable impact on the final top 3 standings. I don't think anyone cares unless they finishes there. Said the guy who has finished second the last two years.......

There are still a few hours to get your picks in. And remember, make sure your pick for tonight is actually!!! in. If not, heads, spikes, you know the deal.

Another week in the books. Dbunting was the top point getter again for the second week in a row with 95. Bronn took second with 93 and Ramsay and I tied for third with 90. Your places will have changed a bit as the dropped week is now in effect. JJ, we'll deal with your dropped week at the end of the season in case it affects the standings in a meaningful way as you dropped this week. And after five weeks, here's where we are: 1 dbunting 366 65 38-22 2 Sunspear Serpents 354 77 37-24 3 Tywin 342 69 39-21 4 Bronze Stones 340 69 42-19 5 aceluby 340 52 36-24 6 White Harbor Bakers 336 71 38-22 7 Lumpy the Greek 335 59 38-22 8 Ramsay 333 63 37-23 9 Kessler's Sports Book 328 73 36-25 10 rocksniffer 322 55 31-29 11 Joe Pesci 318 51 33-27 12 ThatPyroFlow 298 61 35-26

Informally works with me. That means @mcbigski can have his 10 points back.

I appreciate all the condolences. I also forgot to turn on the one drop rule. It’s now in effect. As to your situation, I can’t change individual games. What I can do is disqualify them for everyone. Everyone had NE for 14 or 15 points, so I’m not opposed to it in theory because it does sound like an honest mistake. If you want we can put it to a vote, but what that would do is probably make week 5 some people’s drop week, so there is that to consider.

Appreciate it. I wrote a small memorial in the how's life if anyone cares to read it.

Apologies for the slow updates. There was a death in the family. Week 4 is in the books and week 5 begins today. Last week was decent for most people with dbunting taking the top spot with 99 points. ME and SS took second and third with 98 and 94 points respectively. Here are the standings as week 5 begins: 1 Sunspear Serpents 347 36-25 2 dbunting 336 37-24 3 Kessler's Sports Book 328 36-25 4 Tywin 321 37-24 5 White Harbor Bakers 321 38-23 6 Lumpy the Greek 316 36-25 7 Bronze Stones 316 39-22 8 Ramsay 306 35-26 9 aceluby 304 32-29 10 Joe Pesci 300 31-30 11 rocksniffer 298 31-30 12 ThatPyroFlow 281 31-30

I tried to see if there was anything I can do, but there's nothing in the comish tools to change it. If there was, I would have put it to a vote to give you your 10 spot back and let you eat the 1 on it.
