Not much to look forward to now. I need something to do. A fun bar sounds like a nice idea. Maybe find one with some foosball, darts, billiards and shuffleboard. I haven't found a bar that plays beer pong but if you are playing at your party I'll accept the invite. I won't try to chug that drink, I will chug that drink! I won't try to get [site decorum] faced, I will get [site decorum] faced!

I can still look forward to the prediction game contest. We can all still look forward to the prediction contest. Week 7 results are in and it's wide open field ...

Week 7 Analysis

This was probably the last week to vulture points picking the 49ers opponent, sorry groug and beecharmer. The days of 90% of us picking the 49ers is over, at least for this season. Going forward in order score points picking against the 49ers you'll actually have to somewhat guess the score correctly.

Another entertaining development was the rush of mid-afternoon Sunday score changes. Switching the score so Team B would win, only to have Team A win exactly by your earlier prediction. 2009 bignerd predictor says "ha, ha, ha you freaking losers!" I was massively entertained, keep up the good work.

The Week's Big 5 Prognosticators

foosball4949 - I don't know much about him other than he won. fooball4949 is pretty cool name. Not as cool as foosball6969 but close. Anyways, I think it's an omen. Get out have fun and drink. I'll take advantage when you are wasted making terrible picks.

groug - Yes, that groug! He's found the right blind homeless picker now. groug ought to reward him with a nice Lebron James Cleveland Cavalier jersey, tell him it's the new Miami Heat jersey. Sure groug is taking advantage, the homeless guy should be picking for himself but I cannot control this. Ninjames uses this ploy with the Golden Nuggets all the time, but do I complain?

fanoftheunderdogs - He was cute when he first wondered over. Now that he's peed on the my rug, chewed on my table leg and claimed/destroyed the couch my affection is waning. He's stealing points left and right. I think it's time for some obedience training cause this is my house!

Haggardninja - Back for the sequel sporting a perfect pick. Seeing he is a regular I sought some advice on how to handle a ninja and this what I found: 1) Only a ninja can kill a ninja. Regular humans are useless against a ninja. 2) Ninja don't play sports. Unless killing is a sport. They always win. 3) Ninja have a bad temper when they lose at anything. They will usually cut off the winners head before they have time to brag (Please start at rank #8 and work your way up).

jbrown63 - Maybe I should go back and check the scores? I swear you told me all your predictions were entered in hexadecimal. Accounting mistake by me, my bad! I'll leave your name up here because three guys are tied at sixth place for the week with 9 points, I'm feeling lazy. Just be aware if your points disappear next week.
