Where's the outrage? This is a direct challenge to God-dell's authority

Boys will be boys right? No harm here, since there were no illegal hits to take him out. Should there even be a story here, after all, it's FOOTBALL! Am I right?

CSC Survivor Resurrection - Week 10

Cajun in CA — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 06:54:42 -0000

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME!!!!!! So there are two remaining players battling it out for the coveted title of CSC Survivor Champion. MississippiSaintsFan and HB-Nola have managed to outlast the competition and will carry on, hoping the other makes a mistake first. Who will it be?

Last week was hard on more than one person. After our beloved Saints were beat to a pulp by the Falcons, Legatron Morestead, Metryman, and Cajuncommando58 were all knocked for a second loop on Sunday, as their respective picks of Chicago, Carolina, and Philly all fell by the wayside. HB-Nola nearly disqualified himself by making an invalid selection, having already used Dallas earlier in the contest. He corrected in time though, and Green Bay came through. MississippiSaintsFan went with New England who won easily as well.

A couple of interesting observations...

Most picked teams - Hou - 9, SF, GB - 8
Least picked teams - 0 picks for Det, Cle, KC, TB, Jax, NYJ, Buf, STL, Sea.
Teams picked wrong the most - Pit (3), Ari, NE, SF (2)

Here are the final two and their picks up to this point.

Time to make your picks guys! Congrats on making it this far, good luck to both of you.

CSC Survivor Resurrection - Week 9

Cajun in CA — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 07:09:39 -0000

Good job! Great picks by all up to this point, but we are now down to 5 as BRSaintsFan saw his game come to an end, the strategy of picking against the Jags fell through against their division rival, Tennessee. Legatron Morestead and MississippiSaintsFan Got by with their mutual selection of Denver this week, although there were a few anxious moments early on. Cincy had no problems with the Raiders, making Metryman happy. HBNola switched his pick from Indy to New England, but both won anyway. CC58 rounds out the final 5 with a successful pick of Washington over Dallas, (a happy result which was shared by many others, myself included.) Here are the results so far.

This would normally be the halfway point of the season, however due to the mulligan after the first 3 weeks, we have 5 weeks left to go in the regular season. If more than one player makes it through to the end of the regular season, we will call it a tie and crown each of them as co-champions. Good luck guys!

CSC Survivor Resurrection- Week 8

Cajun in CA — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:44:34 -0000

PURE AWESOMENESS! The top 6 managed to hold on another week, although (as put so eloquently by Grandmaster Wang in his current post), there was much sphincter tightening during some of the games that were supposed to be blow-outs. As Saints fans, we didn't get much help this week. many of the games provided us with false hopes, only to find out that the pretenders "were who we thought they were." CC58 and MississippiSaintsFan took somewhat of a chance by taking the Bengals this week, although it turned out to be a fairly easy win for them. Legatron Morestead and Metryman both liked Dallas (at least for one week), and nearly had their season ended by the Browns. (THE BROWNS!) HBNola took what he thought would be a gimmee, but the Jaguars nearly ate the Texans for lunch. Fortunately for all of us and especially for BRSaintsfan, our beloved Saints handled their business on the left coast.

Here are everyones picks so far.

CSC Survivor Resurrection Contest, Week 7

Cajun in CA — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 00:16:53 -0000

So here we are, 7 weeks into the 2nd installment of our little sideline of fun, and we now have 6 players left. We lost Dan Kelly and Bondcrash due to the tie between San Fran and St. Louis in a tough divisional matchup. As stated in the original post, the team you pick must win outright, a tie is the same as a loss. Fortunately for Legatron and Metryman, an overtime win is still a win. The Steelers struggled mightily and lost Big Ben, but squeaked by a KC team that came to play. Denver had a much easier time with Carolina, allowing CC58 and BRSaintsFan to enjoy their football watching to the utmost. HBNola had the Ravens, who blew out the Saints next opponent, the hapless Raiders, and MississippiSaintsFan was safe after his pick of the surprisingly strong Colts on Thursday night. Here are all of the picks.

CSC Survivor Resurrection, Week 6

Cajun in CA — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 07:54:37 -0000

Well, well, well... This week was looking like a repeat of the previous 2 weeks, until the Steelers and Big Ben crapped all over the Giants and ruined VAsaintsfan's day. Fortunately, it was the only elimination of the week, and everyone else moves on. Houston was the flavor of the week this week, 4 players chose them and kept their streaks alive. The remaining 4 players each chose a different winner, as the easy picks are getting slimmer each week. Here are the previous picks for everyone.

Cajun in CA — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:29:03 -0000

Ok folks, Congratulations are in order! That is two weeks in a row where everyone has made it through. There were some close calls though, even though Green Bay was an overwhelming favorite and was picked by 4 players to win, they trailed Jax early and had to come from behind to win. Same for Chicago, picked by two players, who had a close call against Carolina. San Fran and the Giants won a bit easier, so the remaining players who picked those teams to win didn't sweat quite so much. Here are the picks so far...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!!!

For the first time this season, and for the first time I can remember in a long time when there were more than a couple players, everyone picked a winner. The bad news is, you got to do it again, and we still have 9 contestants competing. The week 3 picks were interesting, only 2 teams had more than one player pick them, and 5 players made solo picks, so 7 different winners were picked out of 13 games played. As the weeks go on, the easy wins become few and far between, hope everyone saves some strong teams for later. Here are the previous picks...

CSC Survivor Resurrection, Week 3

Cajun in CA — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 16:33:59 -0000

Well guys and gals, I guess I spoke a little too early last week when I said we had learned this little game. This week saw more than half of the field eliminated, Pittsburgh losing on Thursday started the devastastation by taking out 3 players. New England and Arizona followed suit on Sunday, taking out 2 each. That left VJ, this week running solo, with the final elimination for her selection of Minnesota. Unfortunately, 4 players were also eliminated for failing to make a pick in time.

Enough about us losers, the survivors (many of whom paid a heavy price by having to root for the Falcons) made it through by choosing Atlanta (5), Baltimore (3), or in the case of HB-NOLA, the Dolphins. Good job folks, time for your week 3 picks.

Well boys and girls, looks like you have learned how to play this little game of ours. There was only one elimination this first round, unfortunately that person eliminated was one of our co-champions from our first go-round, Devilducky. The Cincinnati Bungles failed him, however the brigade of players who followed the fearless vjdancer with her repeat selection of the New York Giants were successful in moving into the 2nd week of play.

2nd Chance CSC Survivor League

Cajun in CA — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 02:26:32 -0000

Ok guys and gals, time to do something that we rarely get to do in real life. We are going to start over with a clean slate. Anyone can participate, and the rules are simple. Pick one team to win their game. You must make a valid pick before the kick-off of the Monday Night game and the team you pick must win outright, no ties, forfeits, etc. If your pick wins, you continue for the following week, however you must pick a different team to win each week. Last man or woman standing wins all the glory they can handle. In the event that all remaining players are eliminated during the same week, there will be a sudden death playoff, the remaining players will pick all of the winners of the next weeks games, whoever picks the most winners will be declared the champion. If it is still a tie, the tie-breaker will repeat until a winner is crowned.

So let the fun and games that is the CSC Survivor League begin!!! As always, you may change your pick any time up until kick-off, and feel free to t~~rash-talk~~ comment as much as you want on anyone's pick.

CSC Survivor Contest - Week 4

Cajun in CA — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 05:39:40 -0000

Or maybe the title of this should be "And Then There Were Two!" Congrats to Devilducky and Bondcrash for surviving a week which saw 17 of the remaining 19 players eliminated. San Francisco and New Orleans losing their games cost 11 of the players, while Pittsburgh and Detroit were responsible for most of the rest. As for the winners, both survivors picked Dallas and will continue on.

Bondcrash	Atl	NYG	Dal

Hard to believe that out of 44 informed and knowledgeable fans, only two were able to pick ONE winner correctly for 3 weeks in a row. Welcome to the brave new world of the NFL.

Next week, I am going to start the CSC Survivor Contest, Resurrection! I think we all would like another shot at this. I will keep this one going as long as possible until a winner has been determined.

Sorry about the late posting, sometimes real life has a way of interfering with my football world.

Two other players were eliminated after failing to make a pick. So now there are only 19 left, who will survive week 3???

Understanding Bounty-gate after ruling

Cajun in CA — Sat, 08 Sep 2012 17:52:12 -0000

Here is my understanding of the current situation, help me out if I am missing something or have something wrong.

After the ruling by the appeals panel on Friday, 9/7, the ball is now back in Roger's court. He will have to reconsider the suspensions, either keeping them the same, or changing them in any way he sees fit, and simply has to state that the suspensions are for "conduct detrimental to the NFL, for participating in a scheme to injure other players, blah, blah, blah..." He has sole authority to rule on this, and when he is done, that is the end of the process. Right? ... But what about that huge elephant over in the corner stomping his foot and demanding to be noticed?

There is a case pending before a federal judge, (Helen G. Berrigan), filed by Jonathan Vilma, in which he states that he was defamed and wronged by Roger Goodell. Judge Berrigan has already indicated that she is leaning toward ruling in Vilma's favor if she has to rule, because Goodell has failed to provide and legal, substantiated evidence that will support the NFL's side of the case. So if Goodell re-suspends the players he originally suspended for their conduct, he most likely will have to provide actual, legal evidence to support his claims before Judge Berrigan. His only other option would be to try to work out a settlement with the players, getting them to accept his punishments. If Vilma refuses to settle and the court rules in his favor, the entire Bounty-gate case falls, and Goodell most likely will have to also re-consider the suspensions of the coaches as well.

So that is how I understand it. Any thoughts on this?

Saints an early 10.5 point favorite.

The Saints open up as an early 10.5 pt favorite on the road at Seattle. I can't ever recall an away team being a double digit favorite in the playoffs. This line gives me confidence, the oddsmakers are usually less biased than the MSM. What do you folks think? Does being a 10.5 point favorite make you more confident or less confident about our chances? Is there really anything to worry about in this game as long as the Saints show up?

SURVIVOR LEAGUE - Wk 15

Cajun in CA — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 23:18:47 -0000

Congrats guys! 14 straight correct picks without duplicating a winning team is an awesome accomplishment. Both players played it somewhat safe this week, using the top two teams in the NFC (both in the NFC South) to continue their streaks. See if you can keep it going, here are your previous picks.

NFL Playoffs Machine

This is a really cool page where you can play out the last few weeks of this season using any criteria you want, and see what teams make the playoffs and the seedings and byes. Lots of fun to try different scenarios and see where we land.

ESPN is reporting PT has a torn tendon in his foot, not a sprained ankle.

Survivor league!!!

I would love to play a survivor elimination league game against some fellow CSC'ers. For those of you who don't know how it works, here is a basic explanation.

1. Each week you pick one game winner from the games scheduled. Your team must win outright, no ties or point spread victories.

2. As long as you pick correctly, you continue to the following week. If your pick loses, you are eliminated and out of play.

3. Each week, you must pick a different team to win, you may not pick the same winner more than once a season. Last one standing wins.

I would be willing to run it, similar to the way CP ran his points contest last season. Anyone interested in trying it?
