Thanks for putting it together. Just found the invites on my little-used Yahoo account.

Didn't something bizarre happen in Week Two of the NFL Survival league last year? Was it the Arizona win over New England? Something resulted in about half the participants being eliminated in the second week.

I won the NCAA coin-flip pick 'em? Yikes, I didn't even know that.

Awesome. I scoured the fantasy page and just never found it.

Thanks Scottie.

Let's just say that the strategy of picking a mid-to-low table game in the early going (to save the big teams for relatively easy wins in later weeks) can be completely undermined, as are so many things, when the Jets are involved.

Survivor? I'm out as of week one. And unless someone forgot to make their picks, I'd wager I'm the only one!

8 people dropped out actually. PIT and TB being the main culprits (and one person not making a pick.)
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Carnage.

So many . . . I had not thought the Jets had undone so many.

Indy and the Pats make up most of the rest of the picks. That would have been true carnage.

God fucking Damnit. Every time I bet against my Jets they win. I figured everyone would go Rams, so I'd be different.

Update: Three teams left in Survivor (Giff, Rush, Rass) and they all picked Tennessee this week. Tom1860 is blowing away the field in College Pick 'Em. And Sabo has the slightest of leads over some other guy in NFL Pick 'Em.

Hoo boy. Jags up by 10.

I had already taken Seattle and Indy. I debated NO, but the Cowboys are effing crazy.

Dangit, I had Miami then switched to Tennessee at the last minute. How does this work now that we all picked the wrong team?

Check out the Yahoo page. It is now listing the three of you as co-winners.

Hey, I didn't code the fucking thing. Why not settle it on the Swamp then? If Yahoo! won't let the lads make picks into next week (and beyond, if necessary), they can always make 'em here. Eh?

I would like to point out that as a Brit who watches very little NCAA football, I have a 10 game lead with 3 weeks to go, yet am 4 games behind in the NFL pick'em and was was fucked out the league in week 5 of survival (which is pretty damn good for me).

Goes to show how much luck is involved...
