Suicide Pick: ARZ

[Dragon]

Trent Richardson traded to the Colts for 2014's first round pick... (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000246821/article/trent-richardson-traded-to-colts-from-browns-for-pick)

I thought it was a joke when I saw it at first. Just... What in the actual heck?

I mean, I guess you can say Trent Richardson hasn't lived up to his hype, but that's after one year in one of the worst offenses in the league. I have to think he'll thrive in Indy, which, of course, is going to decrease the value of that first-rounder Cleveland just got. So, yeah, the Browns will have a pair of picks in the 1st, 2nd, and 4th rounds in 2014, which gives them a lot of leverage to improve the team in the upcoming draft, but is that capital really worth a talented, physical runner who would have been in your system for two years already? Is it worth throwing away your best playmaker for the balance of this season? Did they just want to make Steelers fans feel better about their team?

Good grief, I'm glad I'm not a Browns fan. What a trainwreck.

KC (W) @PHI

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I'm picking Philly, God help me.

Have to wonder if there is some sort of "off field" issues that we haven't heard about yet. But overall I totally agree with your comment about the Browns. Almost want to start believing that the NFL is paying them off to be the whipping boys of the AFC.

Survivor pick: Broncos

[Kyran O'Hurn]

Game isn't over, but who knew a new coach and QB combination would actually make KC pretty good.

[Rutabaga]

"False start, everybody but the center" = perhaps the best (or at least funniest) penalty ever called in the NFL.

[Kyran O'Hurn]

The fact that the announcer made the joke before the ref even opened his mouth made it even better.

[Kyran O'Hurn]

Forgot my survivor pick... Going with MIN

[Dragon]

"False start, everybody but the center" = perhaps the best (or at least funniest) penalty ever called in the NFL.

I liked the time the ref announced, "There are five penalties on the play, all against Cleveland."

[Dragon]

Good grief, what's up with the Giants? I know they've been struggling this year, but 38-0 against the Panthers?

[Rutabaga]

I don't think I want to see my results for this week, holy cow :x

[Park Kraken]

I don't think I want to see my results for this week, holy cow :x

Looks like you and me both broke off just above even, assuming Oakland doesn't pull off an upset win.

[Kyran O'Hurn]

Looking at the results so far, it was not a good week for any of us (except maybe Pode), but I have had by far the worst week of all. Could have been a make or break week, and I'm broken.

[Kyran O'Hurn]

Terrible week for me. Mediocre week for most of the rest of you.

Kolrad: NE, BAL, DEN
Rutabega: SEA, (missed week 2), DAL

the rest of us start over next week again.

[Park Kraken]

I believe Miss Deville should be 10-6 for the week.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Yeah, I'm definitely 10-6 ^_^;

[Dragon]

I think your totals from last week were off as well, and it's throwing off the totals for this week. I was 6-9 in week 1 and 13-3 in week 2 for a total of 19-12. That means I should be 27-20 this week.

I haven't double checked, but here are the totals Liam Jinn reported last week:

Rutabaga - 22-9
Nathanial K'Cansce - 21-10
Ryan Pode - 19-12
Lileana De'ville - 19-12
Dragon - 19-12
Park Kraken - 18-13
Kyran O'Hurn - 18-13
Kolrad - 17-14
Liam Jinn - 16-15

Based on this week's results, that would give us

Rutabaga - 31-16
Lilaena De'ville - 29-18
Nathanial K'Cansce - 29-18
Ryan Pode - 29-18
Dragon - 27-20
Park Kraken - 27-20
Kolrad - 25-22
Kyran O'Hurn - 24-23
Liam Jinn: 24-23

EDIT: I just double-checked, and my figures check out. Maybe look for some cell address errors in your spreadsheet?

[Kyran O'Hurn]

Dragon's right I made a cell error in my spreadsheet. I won't bother reposting, but his numbers are correct. Should be no issues going forward.

And I did find the error for Lilaena's as well.

Thanks for keeping me honest (or at least my excel honest ;))
