Alrighty, I'm hoping the mods are kind enough to let me carry this over and provide an opportunity for those that have played in the Pick-em' Contest that I ran over at the trib a chance to finish their season... With all the sucka's pulling the rug out from under us, this contest really has no home, but we are already 13 weeks in. So, if you guys are kind enough to let me run this over here, i'd appreciate it.
I also will also provide a chance for any members in this forum to also play in this game for the rest of the season.
This way, I can bring some semblance to finish this season for those that have already invested a lot of thier time thinking about their picks, while also allowing new posters from other places participate for the final 4 weeks, and the playoffs.
So, I threw rafts out in the following forums, where basically all trib refugees have fled off to. Damn, it's like a boat crashed off Hawaii, and all the survivors are on different islands.
Anyway, the contest will also be ran concurrently in these areas for the last 4 weeks, and the playoffs.

Also, I will amend the rules. More than likely we will probably lose quite a few posters with the titanic sinking, so the new rules are..
The top 10 trib posters make it into the playoffs. HOWEVER, the last 6 playoff positions will be reserved for all of those that wish to participate from here on out. The top 6 posters from the final 4 weeks will make it as the 11th through 16th seeds.

Message to all the trib refugees..
The trib titanic might have sunk, but fortunately, I tossed the life vest out, hopped on, brought my pick-em thread over and restarted the game on a new island in a Steeler friendly land.
Unfortunately, i'm afraid we probably will lose quite a few from the ship wreck, and this contest might take on a new tone the rest of the way. HOWEVER, if you land on this island.. you can rejoin the contest, and after Sunday when I do a head count, we will see how to redo this contest to make it a fair way to determine a champion.
So, i'm picking back up the pieces from the ship wreck..
If you are a trib refugee, and have a different user name please just identify yourself in your pick thread, when you post, so that I can keep tally of your scores.
Also, the trib might have lost the last 3 years worth of pick-em' history, but I still got them in my excel files. SO, if you want any historical archives, let me know.
Good luck, and may the picking force be with you. Finally, I might get a chance to win one of my own contests. I was pretty much eliminated over at the trib. . But with 64 games to go, and a whole lot of questionmarks on where the survivors are, I have some new life in this game!

Once again, in order to make this a quick and painless process, so that I can tally these countless amount of picks, I would like everyone to post their picks in the same standardized form.
So, please just provide a list of the names of the winning cities in the EXACT ORDER that is listed in the schedule below..
In order to save me the painful task of editing everyones picks, if you can just copy (ctrl + c) and paste (ctrl + v) the schedule below, and delete the team that you think is going to lose, along with the "at", this will help me tally these in the most efficient way possible.
So, please don't abbreviate, or reorder the picks! Just list the names of the cities in the order below…
Now on to week 14!
Just a reminder that there are now Thursday games throughout the rest of the season. If you don’t get your picks in by the Thursday games, that is ok, just get your picks in by Sunday.. If you want to change your picks for Sunday’s game, after the Thursday game is complete, please post them in a new post.
Due to the fact that the Trib went down on Thursday, I have dropped the Oakland and San Diego game from the schedule.
Here is the schedule for week 14:
Jacksonville at Chicago
Minnesota at Detroit
Houston at Green Bay
Cleveland at Tennessee
Cincinnati at Indianapolis
Atlanta at New Orleans
Philadelphia at NY Giants
Kansas City at Denver
Miami at Buffalo
NY Jets at San Francisco
New England at Seattle
St Louis at Arizona
Dallas at Pittsburgh
Washington at Baltimore
Tampa Bay at Carolina
