i believe the broncs know they got it good with Osweiller. the best starter backup combo in the league, and i hate the broncs.

What/who is your team?

 

 

Power rankings are funny. The NFL power rankings dropped the hawks frow #1 to #6. And the chargers from low to #3. Totally spastic changes.

Either way Broncos top both the NFL and ESPNs power rankings for now. Woooooo!



Rihanna throwing another temper tantrum, it seems. I would be fine if Thursday Night Football pulled her entirely.



This is totally chocoloco, isn't it?

Yes.

I liked Phil Simms until last Sundays Broncos-Chiefs game. The guy obviously was openly hoping the Chiefs would come back and win the game. It was a terrible mess from a guy that is suppossed to remain objective. I think there are over 30,000 signatures to not have him back. He even came out and said I am not rooting for the Chiefs here, probably because his own bosses, staff and collaegues were picking up on the bias. I have talked to others at work that feel the same, and my dad and I commented about it a lot during the latter part of the game.

Wow I went 8-8. I thought for sure I would be negative after every game that I personally watched turned out wrong for me.

Right result, wrong reason. You shouldn't want him gone because he hates your team, you should want him gone because he's just a nudge about Joe Buck as a commentator. Less arrogant, but even more ignorant.

ANNOUNCEMENT - Week 2 Results and Standings

Week 2 had several upsets which resulted in a mediocre performance for our prediction league. Only a single 11-5 record, a couple of 10-6s, plus a bunch of 9-7s. That's only 10 out of 33 with a positive record, excluding the two no-shows. You may notice the three players with orange records that got a 1 in the PP column, that's the prize for a spot on Monday Night prediction. This prediction point does not improve their ranking in the results for the simple reason that it would be meaningless additional work for me. However, it does matter in the standings.

The standings saw a lot of position-shuffling. Obviously because we are still at the beginning of the season, so things are so close that two digit rises and falls are nothing out of the ordinary. Not many players managed to be good in both weeks, so there's only one guy who sits alone at the top with more than 20 correctly picked games.

View the full standings here. A word of advice, check your personal stats every week and let me know immediately if there is an error.

May week 3 be better than the first two.

The champ is here. At least I can say I'm a champ for another week. LOL.

I do not totally hate Sims he just is put on Broncos games that are not night games a lot. Dan Dierdorf was so pro-Broncos it seemed that CBS stopped having do their games. Preferabally, there would be a local Broncos announcing team like there is for the NFL, and NBA. I know it will not happen.
