Hm, only a game back. Could have been a lot worse after my horrendous start. My fourpeat bid is still alive!

Oh hell yes. After sweating through Miami/Tennessee and the first half of last night's game, I can finally breathe easy about a pick.

Good episode, but watching Steven Keaton making out with some random chick was somewhat unsettling.

Easter Eggs?

Too bad they won't.

Are they chanting "8-BALL" at Irvin now?

Perfect for football on Monday night. Now, if this was Sunday Night Football, we might have a problem.

Buckhalter may never see the ball in the red zone again. Philly should be up 14-3 if not for TWO Buckhalter fumbles inside the 5.

Duke and Lauren couldn't have found a worse "guide" if they tried. I hated that elimination.

And now a "T.O. SWALLOWS" chant. I love this.

A bunch of cunts and fags? I knew I could count on you, Czech.

Where the hell is all the Wang love coming from? He had a pretty good year, but he didn't really stand out as anything other than a good pitcher who gets a lot of wins because he plays for the Yankees. I don't think he's top-5 in any category besides wins.

My God...I looked at CG's avatar, and I remember exactly what that's from.

The sooner they realize that they don't have Monday Night Football, but instead just football on Monday night, the better.

How does someone like that get to be a head coach at a major university?

Oh, I thought you were just pulling Leena's chain.

This San Diego offence is scary-looking. They absolutely shredded the Ravens' D on the opening drive.

I figured he'd be one of those guys who made it to 100, the way things were going.

Only two more exhibition games left, and then they start playing for real on Wednesday. The champs open at home against Buffalo. In the spirit of alfdogg's NBA preseason thread, here are 20 questions to answer about the upcoming season: 1. Who will win the Hart Trophy? 2. Who will win the Vezina Trophy? 3. Who will win the Calder Trophy? 4. Who will win the Art Ross Trophy? 5. Who will win the Richard Trophy? 6. What team had the best offseason? 7. What team had the worst offseason? 8. Which team will be the most improved over last year? 9. Which team will be the biggest disappointment? 10. What was the best offseason move? 11. What was the worst offseason move? 12. Who will make the playoffs that didn't last year? 13. Who will not make the playoffs that did last year? 14. Who would make your All-NHL first team? 15. Who will be the division winners? 16. Eastern Conference Final: 17. Western Conference Final: 18. Stanley Cup Final: 19. Who will win the Conn Smythe Trophy? 20. Make one bold prediction.

No arguments here. Of course, I'm dead last in SOS this year, which -- if it continues -- makes it impossible for me to have a ranking less than 4.9, which probably won't be good enough for a top-2 finish even if I continue undefeated and work my way to the top in correct picks. Not my fault no one has a good week against me.

And USC escapes. The Oregon-Cal-Notre Dame stretch is going to be more interesting for them than I first thought. I'm really starting to have questions whether they escape from those three games without a loss.

Yeah! Second place!

Whoo, another win. I need to speak with the AD about scheduling for next year, though.
