Season standings after week 15

Not much change in the season standings considering the high-scoring game. A bit of an off week for shakadave, things are closer but he's still on top, displaying the same consistency which made him the defending champion. But he can't afford a bad week, lots of players are nipping at his heels.

This week's average was 20.

Rip, rip, ripppping at shakadave's heels.

 

[Brownfan80]

Rip Rip Rippppping at breaking the top 20.

Ugh I suck at this. lol

 

[PatsDeb]

Woo Hoo! Tied for 62nd place this week! And to think I got a perfect and a plus 1 at the beginning of the season. Oh well, just goes to show how much I've lost my mind!! Thanks Alamo for keeping it fun!!

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

It's not really football knowlege. There's a trick to doing this, people.
shakadave knows and plays it well.

 

[shakadave]

Back! Back! (swinging with a long blade of grass)

shakadave knows and plays it well.

I don't think it's a "trick", exactly. It's playing with a strategy to win the season rather than just one week. Skill in picking is important, as well as reading the sentiment of the other players and picking in a way that is unlikely to result in losing too many points from the top of the pack at once.

As an example of the anti-shakadave, look at Jimke. Last place in the season standings, next to last place in this week's standings, but he won last week's contest. High risk, high reward. This contest is a fun place to act like that, since elsewhere in life such a strategy often turns out badly.

Alamo,
Why do I see this in your sig?

"This message is hidden because NEM is on your ignore list."

Nobody, not even NEM is on my ignore list. What gives?

Nobody, not even NEM is on my ignore list. What gives?

Putting that in my sig is just my way of expressing (in a way that is hopefully not overly obnoxious) the utter frustration I have had with the board sometimes due in great part to NEM's posts. He's the only one I have ever put on ignore, I don't think it's a good thing to do in general but have found in this case it improves my attitude considerably. I have been quite busy lately and insightful talk, not aggravation, is what I am looking for when spending free time here. I'm sorry it confused you.

NEM is also the lone member on my ignore list.

My signature (BoR part), adopted from a few others', shares that sentiment.
