Guess what, everyone? Leena's leading. And I doubt anyone's going to catch her -- she's got another 50 points coming sometime next week when Chemical Ali is executed. Damn obscure famous people whose deaths I never hear about (i.e. Pete Demmerle and Jane Tomlinson).

Of course it isn't. Everyone has the same opportunity to PM picks or pick late. I laughed when I saw Edwin's picks matched mine completely. I thought about switching, but why switch games you already think are right?

7-7, 9:40 2nd quarter.

Who would've thought the more dominant Big East team so far tonight would've been Cincinnati and not Louisville?

What was he on?

I'm not surprised they would say something like that. I would imagine no one goes to the doctor with concussion-like symptoms and asks to be checked out, not unless the symptoms are really serious. They just work through it and self-medicate. How long did Bret Hart wrestle with concussions at the end of his career? Still, I've seen Benoit knocked loopy on numerous occasions. I find it impossible to believe he'd never suffered a concussion, documented or not. It's pretty irresponsible to make it sound like Benoit never suffered one, because that is what people will hear.

We still have room for 10 more if anyone else wants to sign up.

Didn't Dynamite warn Benoit a long time ago about how badly the diving headbutt could mess him up?

St. Hubert -- It's the Quebec version of Swiss Chalet, only it's 100x better. The Works -- Local burger chain. One of the top 3 burgers I've ever had.

I'm staying far away from Denver this week. Not after the last two years, where they opened on the road against inferior opponents both times and didn't even bother to show up.

Please don't take away my fun. Pavarotti dead. Three of you are cashing in.

JAX over Tennessee?

This is about the only one I feel good about besides maybe KC over Houston or Denver over Buffalo. I'm DEFINITELY not taking any three-point road underdogs.

I never pick a road team unless I'm virtually forced into it.

Is it too early to call all of the AL divisional races over? All the leaders have leads of at least 7 games with 26 games or fewer left.

Definitely on the bubble (although I wouldn't say he's like Damphousse, because I think Damphousse is a definite no). Personally, I'd have a hard time voting him in. Turgeon has never been a particularly memorable player -- he was hardly ever among the league scoring leaders, never won any awards, and his teams never went far in the playoffs.

I only saw one team I'm willing to back this week. It's probably the same one LaParkaMarka is thinking of.

JR is back! Everyone rejoice! One year, $500K with San Jose.

This month's events: FEDEX CUP TOURNAMENTS September 6-9: BMW Championship, Cog Hill G&CC, Lemont, IL (Trevor Immelman) September 13-16: The TOUR Championship, East Lake GC, Atlanta, GA (Adam Scott) FALL FINISH TOURNAMENTS September 20-23: Turning Stone Resort Championship, Atunyote GC, Verona, NY (inaugural event) September 27-30: Viking Classic, Annandale GC, Madison, MS (D.J. Trahan) September 27-30: The Presidents Cup, Royal Montreal GC, Montreal, QC (USA) I'm getting pretty tired of the whole musical event titles thing. I had to look up that the BMW is the former Western Open (where Trevor Immelman will have been the defending champ for 14 months), and that the Viking Classic used to be the Southern Farm Bureau Classic. Also, John Rollins will not be defending his title at Turning Stone, even though he won there last year, because the course hosted the final B.C. Open last year and not the Turning Stone Championship. Also, Lefty confirmed that he'll be skipping the BMW Championship this week. Something is going to have to be done about this next year, I just don't know what. The most obvious thing to do -- scheduling a week off in between the Deutsche Bank and the BMW -- is problematic because the TV contracts mandate a tournament every week during the golf season, and who's going to watch a Valero Texas Open the week before and after two high-profile tournaments? Maybe instituting a points penalty for each playoff tournament missed is the answer. I'd love for them to just call the whole thing off, but that's definitely not in the cards either. Tiger's return to Royal Montreal -- the site of his first, and for a long time only, missed cut as a pro -- should be fun to watch.

Having seen Miller firsthand for two playoff series, I can say he's better than good. He's the only reason Buffalo wasn't blown out in every game last year.

Strike Force wins the tag team titles from the Hart Foundation on Superstars of Wrestling: Part 1 Part 2 Quite a pop for the title change. Too bad I can't get that damn song out of my head. Here's the "Girls in Cars" video so the rest of you can feel the same way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ2YwofUbkU

Why don't you just do that here? It's not like this thread is exclusively the domain of 20 Questions or anything.

How old is Bill Wirtz again?

Buffalo will always have a decent shot at the playoffs with Ryan Miller in net.

I've set up an NFL Survivor Pool at Yahoo again this year. For anyone not familiar, the rules are simple: Pick one team each week that you think will win its game outright (no point spread). If you're right, you move forward to next week; if you're wrong, or if you don't submit a pick, you're eliminated. The only catch is that you can't pick the same team more than once for the entire season. Link: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/su...oinprivategroup ID#: 22271 Password: tsm
