Week 8 was a ball buster. Nice job going 3-0, Mikey.

Thanks for herding the cats, 'Bat!

What's the rule, follow the money? The line's moved from + 1 to + 2.5
Fook that.

HOU + 1.5

Houston being an underdog looked fishy to me from the start.
I preferred to just stay away from this game.

When a trap is set, eat the cheese. Just stick to Stilton, avoid Kraft slices. :(

He pulled a Grifter!

Softball Bat · Post by **Softball Bat** » Fri Nov 01, 2024 6:30 pm

If he was really trying to get over on all of us, he would have posted that pick as his -----> LOCK OF THE YEAR!

+3 for Troll#3, moving him up very close to the lead in our little contest here.

It was a loser, pops. Ask Phibes if you don’t believe me.

That’s why it’s a Grifter.

Softball Bat · Post by **Softball Bat** » Fri Nov 01, 2024 6:55 pm

Yeah, that's right.

As with most everything that happens on the board, it should be run through the Office of Dr_Phibes before it is presented for mass consumption.
