Take a friendly shot at the friends you are playing against.

Let the rest of the players know why you're the best there is at picking the pro games.
See how you're doing against Seabag_fan (NVR Moderator Dan Ross) and make fun of his inability to win. Remember, it is not too late to join or invite your friends to join too. Your worst four weeks are tossed out in the overall standings.

" Seabag_fan took a few risks week 1 and I paid the price for it. Tied for 19th after a week, and my best friend ended up No. 1 overall. Oh the shame of it all. I am going to beat mikebob3 this week, next week and each week thereafter, and I'm also going to win the lottery each week too. "

" Two weeks in and I am tied for 31st place. I think I need to turn to places like The Iraq and South Africa, such as, for help here ... or Bill Belichick's videos. I only hit for 9-of-16 in week 2, so there's 30 players with a better start than I have. I'm not even in the top-5 in my friends-and-family group running on this site ... yikes ... "

" Phew, it is about time I started to move up. Seabag_fan has hit No. 4 in the overall standings. I was starting to think everyone playing on this site was going to speed right on past me. "

" Hmmm tied in 4th place with Seabag_fan...canelover is not sure what to make of that! "

" Let's hear it for me (Seabag_fan) plummeting from 4th to 19th in one week ... groan. Yes folks, this is a GREAT example as to why the worst 4 weeks get tossed out! So, are you struggling with so many upsets each week? "

NVR Moderator wrote on Oct 31, 2007 12:51 PM:

" Ugh, I feel like I am on a slip-and-slide of picks as the weeks go along. First my goal was an overall victory, then a top-5, now I need to struggle to keep from being in the bottom 5!!! "

" What a difference a week makes. Second overall for the Register site for Week No. 9, only 1 point off the tiebreaker. Congrats to Matt Jackson, won won the overall for the second time this year. "

" Dear Moderator... Thank you so much for keeping the flow of conversation going... if you need futher topics to bring up... I recommend you bring up the following; 1. that the Steelers are the best team ever 2. That anyone who is a Raiders fan needs to check into their local hospital for observation from brain damage 3. That the Niners and Dolphins suck so bad they must be doing this on purpose... I smell conspiracy. 4. Who in their right mind likes the Cleveland Browns anyway? Crap, I keep forgetting they exist. 5. Seattle fans are very 'special' people... yes, special' is a good word for it... I hear they vacation with Raider fans. I hope this has been helpful, and as always... STEELERS RULE! "

" OK, time for all of you to participate here. Would you like the Register to run a College Football Bowl Games Pool similar to this one? Let me know by responding here. "

" I get to brag this week. OK, so I have been in the top 5 each of the past 3 weeks, but that's not what I'm talking about. I get to brag about the fact my wife took first place this week and has moved in to the No. 2 spot overall for the first 11 weeks. way to go, Camil, um, uh, canelover! "
