Week 1 Suicide Pool results and thoughts.

For the love of (insert higher power you pray to here) Week 1 was a bloodbath.

40 people were knocked out of the pool, including all the "proxy pick" players. While we are on the subject of the proxy pick this will be the last year. Here is the rule for the deadline:

Deadline means, if no pick by the specified time YOU ARE OUT!!!

Now if you OK'd me to make a proxy pick for you and I receive nothing by the deadline you get the team favored by the most points at the time of the deadline. This week it was Indianapolis.

I receive an e-mail from a player saying he sent in his picks before the deadline. Wow that's kind of funny because I didn't have him down for any picks.

I looked into my inbox and found nothing. I looked into the folder where i save all the pool e-mails. Nothing there.

I look into my Trash folder, I don't erase any e-mails until the pool is over, nothing in there.

I finally look into the sent mail, because I respond "received" to EVERY e-mail with a pick and I found nothing there.

There was no e-mail. I'm sure we lost a player for next year but I really don't care. I am going to try running this on Yahoo next year so there is no issue if the player doesn't meet the deadline.

Wow guess what?!?!?! I didn't make it out of week 1. I hate the Colts. I hope they get a raging team wide case of herpes.

RIP 2008 Patriots Season. Get well soon Tom. Not a dirty hit but I think a penalty should have been called. We will now see if Belichick "team over individual" thinking saves the team. 9-7 or 10-6 would be a great season now.

Good Luck to all those who remain in the pool.
