I am sure there will be mad numbers watching for the Micah Parsons vs Dallas Cowboys reunion. That will be highly watched to see what Micah does to us. Its not gonna be pretty.

For sure.

I heard yesterday somewhere that Micah said he's gonna feel back sacking Dak Prescott. He didn't say he wasn't gonna sack him, he just said that he'll feel bad about it if and when he does sack him.
To me it sounds like he's giving notice, and he's a planning on putting Dak on his back all day long. Sounds like he'll be on a mission, as to send a clear message to one Mr. Jerry Jones Dak will have to keep his head on a constant swivel, and that still might not be enough to stay away from that runaway freight train that is Parsons.

In an unrelated note, your screen name on this forum got a "shout out" from the first of two John Sterling Aaron Judge home run calls last night, after Judge sent his 50th home run ball a-flying. Pretty funny I thought, but yet pretty cool at the same time -maybe now you have a famous secret admirer you never knew about...congrats

Man, the one time I pick against the Chiefs and it looks like it’s going to come back and bite me.

How does a tie work on here. Is it a null and that game doesn't count? There is no tie column. Even if it was, its not a win nor a loss.

[oldmanclippy]

I'm gonna make the executive decision that it doesn't count as a "loss" for us. There would never be an instance where you would actually predict a tie, since they're so rare (didn't even have one all of last year). I mean I guess you could predict a tie if you want, but in that case I'd have to count it as an L if it wasn't a tie, so highly highly not recommended

For fun though I'll make a tie column, and everyone will get a "1" in it

[flight50]

Sounds good to me lol. I'm cool with having that week be minus a game too. So instead of 16 max points, only 15 max points.

[oldmanclippy]

Yeah that's effectively what happened, our % is only calculated based on wins and losses, didn't want to muddy the waters by counting ties as a half-win. Plus it affects all of us the same so no matter what it wouldn't change the standings.

I fell asleep in the 3rd quarter, so needless to say I was very surprised to see a 40-40 final score this morning. As a Vikings fan it's better than a Packers win, that's for sure

Here's Week 4's results:

And the standings after Week 4:

Looks like b_l_e_1 got the Giants game right in the end, with Jaxson Dart being responsible for an L for the other 8 of us this week. Brendan's lead is slightly bigger now, but there's challengers waiting in the wings. And a tie! (tie not counted in percentage calculation to keep things simple)
