Glad you made yours, I don’t want the pressure of someone losing by small margin cause I picked for them.  

 

Wait, don't you have a record of picking only winners for absent guys from last season when you did it a handful of times? 

[doctoro]

My head is spinning. So many things to do  LOL

Minnesota +7.5 

New England +2.5

Steelers +1

I'll change it - as soon as somebody tries to guess what Radar's saying.

 

M*A*S*H is my all-time favorite 1/2 hour comedy - although The Big Bang Theory runs a very close 2nd (Seinfeld's 3rd).

So that was it. Oh yeah the PGA Tour contest we did. I had forgotten about that already. 😀 Thanks for clarifying.

I do. He got the exact same punishment he received previously. Every single one of his posts has to be approved by a moderator. So he chose to jus say forget it and stopped posting.

Interesting play their QB. You made your three selections but none of them are involving tonight's contest.  

 

That got me thinking that one of the absent dudes could come in and make their three picks anytime before Sunday Nights game because there are two games Monday night.

If someone does holler about that I suppose I could be flexible and allow them to make 3 picks. As for now I think going ahead and making picks for them is the proper thing to do. I did quote all of them when I made my original post this morning about 8 AM Eastern when I announced this deal, so they did have quite a long time to chime in sometime today.

... I don't trust Cousins. Not a fan at all and think he is a mental case that will lose a game out of emotion as easily as win one. I kinds thought that "You Like That!" video was a one time thing but evidently that's how he is all the time. Too high or too low. 🙄 I would never bet on the Vikings either way, unless I absolutely had no choice.

Sorry, didn't see this.

 

Nope.

 

Probably only a M*A*S*H-ophile would get it

[TiScape]

Looking forward to tonight’s game! I have Hurts on my FFB team. And also have Mattison from the Vikings. Here’s to hoping they both go off!

 

I see it’s exclusively on Amazon. That really blows if ya don’t have it. 🫤

[touch]

Tonight's game is being broadcast on Prime Video and that is not a major television network.

 

These guys are rolling in their graves. 🤪

I'm not either. No Prime.

But I am listening to it on the official Minnesota Vikings radio station.

Kinda typical for a Thursday night game. Guys aren’t fully recovered from last Sunday. But more games, more $$$ 😊

True that. The Thursday games have always been somewhat off. 

Still it's cool to have a game tonight.

I like having all the games, TNF, all day Sunday, SNF, and MNF !

 

 

The Vikings have lost 5 fumbles through 6 quarters this season. My Lord. 😕

It kind of neat listening to the game being broadcast on Viking Radio.

... Walter Payton said his rookie year he was pretty sore after a Sunday game but ready to go the next day. Every season he needed more time to recover and said when he wasn't fully recovered from simple bumps and bruises by the next Saturday, it was time to hang it up and he retired. Thursday nights have to be brutal for veterans that have been in the game awhile. 

[touch]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cousins has played solid. He didn't turn it over. 

The Eagles kicker nails a 61 yarder as the first half ends.

13-7 the Greens over the Purples. 

 

The line is Eagles - 7 1/2      48 1/2 

This is going to get interesting.

Time of possession 1st half

Philadelphia 21 min

Minnesota     9 min

3 turnovers

 

The broadcaster's are saying that in their 14 years of calling games this one probably the weirdest.  Great voices, great talent, and a solid show. I'm sort of glad I didn't get the game and had find another way to get the action. 🙂

Oh I love em and I’ll watch em for sure. Just know the quality of the games will typically b below par. I don’t take FFB seriously at all. But guys I know and play with are doing the big time deep dive on it. A few of em told me last season (my 1st one) that it’s a good idea to sit guys on Thursday nights if possible because the analysis shows a noticeable dip in performance. So far I can say I’m seeing it.

I think of him similar to Jimmy G. He might get you close, but you’re not winning it all with him.
