Sorry, Mater4 to hear about Brady. Whose the Pats' back-up QB? Oh you're in good company here, TXDISNEYNERD. I'm just a little bummed the new stadium won't be ready til next season. I kept thinking it was this season.

Originally Posted By DJ7K It was tough too, my friend whose a big fan of Favre's, when I saw him at church first thing yesterday, he said he wasn't in good spirits, so it was kinda hard cheering against him because I was empathizing with him even though he wasn't there with me. Normally I wouldn't have minded giving up a loss in picks and just cheering on Favre and the Jets, but watching all the scores flash across the screen most of my other picks were losing too. You should have been here for the Gridiron Challenge though, that was fun I'll miss it, but I'll live

Originally Posted By utahjosh Yeah!!! I'm on top of the pack. But I gotta be honest, there wasn't a lot of research in those picks. They were mainly based on last year's schedules and who the home team was.
Originally Posted By DJ7K I still say the 1st week is probably the toughest because there are no win/loss records yet. So yeah your best chance is to research because during the offseason a lot of moves can be made beyond just the guys on the field that can really have an impact in how the team performs and comes out at the end of the game. Then again, some teams just remain the same regardless. Another key factor, or at least a good example of one would be what recently happened with Tom Brady - injuries to star players. But even so, a lot of rookies out there have stepped up and delivered. Anyways though, congrads for the week, UtahJosh!
