---------------
It should be noted, that I only had a few players playing this weekend... although I did pick the G-Men to upset the 49ers... "and I would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for those pesky" botched FGs! UGH. Oh well... I'm expecting the Jets to knock off the Raiders... and the Titans to take care of the Steelers. Then as long as the Eagles take care of business, I'll be doing well, come rounds 2 and 3 & beyond!

ANYONE ELSE PLAYING IN THIS CONTEST?

Sucks to be a Giants fan right now. Good times if you're a Niner fan. Great game, too bad it had to end in such controversy. Anyway, good luck Ophi and GO NINERS!

Update on my FBG.COM postseason score:

#3779 - Jim White, Royal Hawaiian Opihi... 101.5

There's something like 5,131 participants... so I'm definitely in the bottom half! lol But fear not... I've still got 5 of my 8 starters playing this weekend... and if the Titans pull off the upset special over the Raiders, I'll be shooting up the charts come Superbowl Sunday!

How you doin', Zino?

I'm at 660 with 4 Raiders left (Garner, Rice, Porter and Jolley). The other half of my team were Giants, and their screwed up loss a week ago killed me.

Yes BTW, I chose Collins over Gannon... why? Went with the upset pick that few others would go for. Same reasoning for Porter and Jolley.

Wow, Mike! I'm guessing you mean rank #660, not 660 points! LOL I probably should have done the same strategy: pick the two teams I thought would go and take only players from those teams. Oh well. My only chance now is to be one of those random positions Joe picks for a '03 subscription.

Zino... where do you stand?

We are in 2660 or close to that. We didn't go with a hit or miss plan, we had a draft for fun as my wife, 8yr old and 7 yrd old picked players. We're hosed as we picked folks like Owens, Harrison, Shockey, Favre. I think we've got Eddie and Jerry left, but it was fun to try!

Say hallo as you blast past us!

Well, my OPIHI ended up in 4550th place (ugh)... with a whopping 136.6 points. Nowhere near prize contention. I see that you beat me by about 200 places, Zino. Congrats.

(so how many more days until we get into some off-season Frenzy action?!?!?)

I finished in 1,463rd place with 217.8 points.

No idea when the Frenzy action will get going TBH, I really haven't had time on my end to look over the rule suggestions from Brian and Matt.

Of course, being in San Diego the last few days for a certian football game certainly didn't help! Hell of a time though... GO BUCS!!!

In all honesty, my next few months are going to be very busy at work. Plus I'm going out of the country for 2 weeks in April, so I may REALLY need more help than ever this offseason. So please, feel free to step up to the plate!

No worries, Mike! We've got a lot of time, that's for sure. Enjoy the break... and enjoy the afterglow of your Bucs' victory!

:D
