Week 2 Prediction Game: The Results
Let me tell you, I can't think of a more appropriate way to celebrate an exciting 49er win against a division opponent than totally kicking all of your asses at my own game. And in my head, that's exactly what happened. In my head, you're all surprised to find that I came away with six perfect predictions and was awarded the Niners Nations Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence, got a totally free T-shirt, and ran off to Paris with my girlfriend to live the rest of our lives freeloading off the unsuspecting French.
That's not what happened in real life, though. In real life, what happened was probably a little closer to the way this all turned out in wjackalope's head. As for how the rest of us did, check it out immediately following the jump.

Collectively, this week had a heck of a lot more action than last week. I guess actually getting a few games right goes a long way, doesn't it?
wjackalope's (or as I like to call him when he does jerky stuff like win, wjerkalope's) victory here really goes without saying, so with that in mind I expect nobody to say anything about it. More importantly, I think we should all appreciate my own ascencion, from being tied for 17th at the end of week one to catapulting myself into a tie for 5th in week two. Some guy at the top had better watch out because at this pace I'll be in -7th place in no time.
Being a little less self indulgent, though, I'd like to welcome mojorisin' to the games. Not only was this mojorisin''s (how do you put a possessive on that...?) first week playing, it was also a succesful campaign. He's thrown himself right into the middle pack, and I'm excited to see how he performs going forward.
I'd also like to give special metion to Niner Fan in WI. A newcomer to the games this season, Wisconsonboy really brought the heat this week, and put himeself in great position right at the top. So congratulations to Niner Fan in WI. And keep up the good work!
And it wouldn't be a Results Thread if I didn't mention Fooch. So there's that, too.

The YOU SUCK page
I think that all of us that have participated the last two weeks and still have Ohh-feers. Should have a little shame page that you plaster us up on until we get some points. And that page should be named the YOU SUCK page.
This is week two and I would like to know if I was alone on the YOU SUCK page. And if I am then we could rename it to the I SUCK page.
There should be consequences for failure. Public humilation on the YOU SUCK page is a start.
howtheyscored, thanks for all the work, this has been fun the last couple of weeks (even though I suck….. at picking football scores and winners, some of you have dirty minds)

I think that if you’re still playing next season, things might be such that there is a little more opportunity to score. With so many more people playing, I’ve thought that maybe changing things from “top 3” to “top 5” might make things more exciting and fair, but I wanted to see how the top 3 system worked this season before I made any rash changes.
So far I think it’s still working because we do have a lot of guys getting points, but I still think changing it next season might be a good idea. We’ll see how it goes the rest of this season.

oh man that looks great
my name at the top where it belongs. (yeah yeah enjoy it while it lasts, I know). Hopefully this 9 point lead will give me some cushion for a while and barring other perfect predictions, I can use this week to keep me in the running all season.

I think I landed...
… two perfects during the regular season last year and barely escaped with the #1 spot. Maybe you’ll be a lot more consistent this season than I was.

yeah
I don’t think I can count on getting any more perfects. Got to be consistent scoring in a few games every week.

Question ?
Nice job this week. Ive scored points both weeks but my score didn’t go up this past week. Am I missing something in the scoring?
The bases were drunk, and I painted the black with my best yakker. But blue squeezed me, and I went full. I came back with my heater, but the stick flares one the other way and the chalk flies for two bases. Three earnies! Next thing I know, skipper hooks me and I'm sipping suds with the clubby.

yeah but
he should have 4 points total, 2 for last week and 2 for this week. Another instance of howie trying to sneak somethin by to make himself look better…

I double checked the rest of the scores after this, and it looks to me like they’re all good. Everybody’s always welcome to check.

Did wjackalope win the regular season last year?
I think he’s too good.
