Glenn 08-14-2007, 12:00 PM These are open to all, but it would be best if you used some variation of your WTF screenname as your team name so we can tell each other apart.

WTFchris 08-14-2007, 12:32 PM thanks for making these glenn. I'm signed up for all of them, should be fun.
Wilfredo Ledezma 08-14-2007, 11:23 PM Thanks alot, I'm glad to have been plugged in to this stuff at WTFDetroit, I'm a fantasy nut and can't wait for the season
Signed up for NFL confidence. Defending champ is back yo!
darkobetterthanmelo 08-14-2007, 11:37 PM This is a ton of fun.
Got in on the NCAA one too, new one for me. No confidence in that one? Also it says 25 games (which is cool because I dont need to pick 60+ games a week) but does Yahoo decide the 25 games then?
Artermis 08-15-2007, 07:49 AM Usually they take the top 25 teams and you pick the winners from them.
Glenn 08-15-2007, 04:40 PM 9 have signed up so far for the confidence and 7 for the survivor.
Glenn 09-06-2007, 02:59 PM Last chance to sign up.
Those that are already in need to make their picks before kickoff tonight.
Glenn 09-10-2007, 09:43 AM This week's Super Cogent Awards go to WTFChris and Wil Ledezma.
The Super Cogent Award is a weekly award given to participants in the WTF confidence league for being the only person to pick the winning side for a particular game.
WTFChris was the only one that picked Green Bay over Philly, and Wil Ledezma was alone in picking Carolina over St. Louis.
Well done, men, Super Cogent!!
Glenn 09-10-2007, 10:12 AM Also, if Chris was not born in Green Bay or Wil in Carolina, we'll need you both to publicly admit that you are nothing but hanger-onners with tenuous connections to those teams, at best.
Glenn 09-10-2007, 03:08 PM I see that Philly took D'sNuts out of the Survival league.
That game was a bit of a shocker.
D's Nuts 09-12-2007, 08:58 PM Yeah, so I got hosed by a rookie kicker. Fucking great.
Glenn 09-17-2007, 10:33 AM This week's Super Cogent Awards go to Zaboo and Wil Ledezma (his second).
The Super Cogent Award is a weekly award given to participants in the WTF confidence league for being the only person to pick the winning side for a particular game.
Zaboo was the only one that picked Houston over Carolina, and Wil Ledezma was alone in picking San Francisco over St. Louis.
Very well done, men, Super Cogent!!
Award standings
Wil Ledezma - 2

Glenn 09-17-2007, 10:35 AM Also, New Orleans and Cincy took out 4 of us this week in the survivor league.
Only 4 players left (Art, WTFChris, b-diddy and MoTown).
We might have to do a phase two around week 5, lol.
Wilfredo Ledezma 09-17-2007, 10:43 AM LOL 2 awards both against the Rams...I'm on FIRRRRREEE
Wilfredo Ledezma 09-17-2007, 10:45 AM Also, if Chris was not born in Green Bay or Wil in Carolina, we'll need you both to publicly admit that you are nothing but hanger-onners with tenuous connections to those teams, at best.
Let it be known, I was not born in Carolina!
that was sheer talent
Glenn 09-18-2007, 09:13 AM Art picked up a SCA for his Washington pick last night.

Walmart Cheeseheads/Carolinians.
WTFchris 09-18-2007, 10:59 AM I was sweating my picks this week. I am in two survival leagues and I took Denver and Detroit (both won in OT).
MoTown 09-21-2007, 01:23 PM So what do we do for the rest of the year when the survival league finishes in week 4? Start a new one?
WTFchris 09-21-2007, 02:31 PM Don't know. In my work one it's down to me and 1 other worker already. I've been picking different teams in both leagues to make sure I don't get eliminated in both by the same team.
b-diddy 09-21-2007, 04:14 PM we're doing a loser survivor pool at my work and 41 of 46 made it through the first two weeks. im sitting especially pretty having used chicago and san diego in week 1 and 2, respectively.
Wilfredo Ledezma 09-21-2007, 04:55 PM I would never take Denver in a survival league unless they are playing the Falcons...Jay Cutler is the most mysterious QB on the planet...
Glenn 09-24-2007, 09:23 AM Artermis displays some Super Cogentivity with his Jacksonville over Denver pick.
Award standings
Wil Ledezma, Artermis - 2
WTFChris, Zaboo - 1
MoTown 10-01-2007, 09:25 AM Stupid question - are we allowed to pick a team once in the confidence league? I know that's usually the case, but not always.
Glenn 10-01-2007, 10:15 AM Art with the lone Super Cogent pick of the week (Arizona over Pittsburgh) and he's got a shot for another one tonight if Cincy beats the Pats.
Award standings
Artermis - 3

Glenn 10-01-2007, 10:16 AM Stupid question - are we allowed to pick a team once in the confidence league? I know that's usually the case, but not always.
If you meant Survival league, then yes, only once per team.
MoTown 10-01-2007, 10:55 AM You know what I meant, GOD!

Glenn 10-08-2007, 02:39 PM No Super Cogent Awards this week.
Well, Art can earn one if Buffalo beats the Cowboys tonight.
As I said, no Super Cogents this week.
Artermis 10-09-2007, 07:32 AM Yeah well fucking fluke cost me that game. God damn it. I love Romo though. The other guy in one of my leagues needed 11 points with Romo playing against the 32nd rank D. He got a whopping 4. 5 picks and a fumble. Gotta love it.
WTFchris 10-09-2007, 09:04 AM I almost won the survival league last night. Oh well, on to next week.
MoTown 10-09-2007, 10:06 AM No kidding. I started chuckling when I watched the end of the game. Romo is a WTFChris fan.
I thought I had you beat on Sunday.
Well you have to take my word on it but I earned an additional 76 points. I did pick points well before halftime of the first games and I didn't look at the scores. At least I got the picks in so you know I got most of the games right. The three games I got wrong were KC for 10 points, Detroit for 1, and Green Bay for 4. The reason I didn't put points on the games is after I picked winners and put my usual top point value on the Cowboys we got a phone call about a death in the family. Oh well.
Glenn 10-15-2007, 01:41 PM D's Nuts takes home a Cogie for his Chiefs over the Bengals pick. Wil Ledezma has one on the line tonight with his Falcons over the Giants pick.

Wilfredo Ledezma 10-22-2007, 05:12 PM 1st place...still...
MoTown 10-22-2007, 05:20 PM Chris, I thought I had you last night in the survival league. Rackers doesn't usually miss those...
But I guess that makes us even after the Cowboys won that lucky game 2 weeks ago.
WTFchris 10-22-2007, 06:27 PM Yeah, I was holding my breath on that one. Acutally, I had the Giants (your pick) initially and changed my mind because I was worried about them choking after 4 straight wins.
MoTown 10-29-2007, 11:08 AM And it continues!
WTF should be marketing this matchup between Chris and I as a reason to join the forum. This is going to make ESPN Classic.
Glenn 10-29-2007, 11:23 AM There was no super cogency this week. :^(
MoTown 10-29-2007, 02:17 PM I was all excited and ready to come in here and boast about only missing one game worth 4 points this week (confidence league), but I then looked at Ledezma who was perfect this week.
Cheater. Tell Donaghy I said hi.
Wilfredo Ledezma 10-29-2007, 04:05 PM Cheater. Tell Donaghy I said hi.
will do... :)
Glenn 10-30-2007, 09:09 AM Damn Ledezma, 13-0 for the week, with four upsets picked correctly?
Wilfredo Ledezma 11-03-2007, 12:36 AM Damn Ledezma, 13-0 for the week, with four upsets picked correctly?
I am so smrt
MoTown 11-05-2007, 11:02 PM MoTown and Chris go down to the wire and after 9 weeks of dogfighting, MoTown lucks out.
I really never thought I was going to win that - especially with you playing it smart, Chris, and still having the Colts and Pats.
That was fun - let's do it again with... basketball season?
Now for a message to Glenn and Matt - I want a front page article congratulating me on my triumph.
WTFchris 11-06-2007, 01:53 PM I did another one with work buddies. Got 2nd in that one too (that one ended after week 4 though).
Glenn 11-06-2007, 02:19 PM Now for a message to Glenn and Matt - I want a front page article congratulating me on my triumph.
check it
MoTown 11-06-2007, 03:15 PM Thank you!
But that's it??? No picture? No naked chicks? No trophy? I'm not sure why I joined this league...
alsothanksagain.
Glenn 11-06-2007, 03:34 PM fine, check again
Tahoe 11-06-2007, 06:09 PM Congrats Motown
MoTown 11-06-2007, 08:40 PM fine, check again

Yeah, I have 130 of my 131 points wagered this week. If the Saint win I will only miss 1 point on the week. However, if the Falcons win I keep my 1 point lead on Wil.
Wilfredo Ledezma 12-11-2007, 12:49 AM I'm back in first kiddies...
Glenn 12-14-2007, 08:35 AM Art scored a Super Cogie with his Houston pick last night
WTFchris 12-14-2007, 10:49 AM Baltimore and Cleveland will decide this week's leader I think. I have big points on both, so if Miami or Buffalo pulls the upset Glenn or Wil, respectively will gain a lot of ground.
Wilfredo Ledezma 12-14-2007, 11:56 AM Trent Edwards is the next Jim Kelly...he's going to drop a bomb on Leigh Bodden, Sean Jones, Brodney Pool, Eric Wright, and any other mediocre DB the Browns throw out there...
It's funny this week that everybody either picked the same, or its a SCA. No splits on any games. Also my SCA for NYG over PHI last was not mentioned, unless I'm blind.
Glenn 12-17-2007, 12:57 PM You're right UxKa, I've added it in here:
Updated award standings
Artermis - 6

Also scoring SCA's this week:
Art (Hou over Den) and (Jax over Pit)
Glenn (Mia over Bal)
Art's got another one on the line with the Bears tonight, too.
The standings are very tight.
WTFchris 12-17-2007, 02:28 PM I hope Art gets it. I only have a point on this game and Wil has 8 on it.
Glenn 12-17-2007, 02:46 PM I'm only 15 behind you, and I can gain 11 on you with a Minny win tonight.

Hot damn.
Better take my time this week making those picks.
Glenn 12-21-2007, 05:50 AM LOL @ me for forgetting to make my picks at blowing 15 weeks of this shit
Glenn 12-21-2007, 09:04 AM Man, shit like this really bothers me.
I can already tell that I'm going to have a hard time letting this go.
WTFchris 12-21-2007, 10:38 AM Yeah, that was bad. Wil picked all the same teams I did, except I took Cincy at home over the Browns.
You can still get the bronze Glenn.
Wilfredo Ledezma 12-21-2007, 11:03 AM Man, only 3 ppl did their picks...this flex scheduling is killing people...
WTFchris 12-21-2007, 11:13 AM I think they gave up because they are too far behind.
Put em up in here like I did. I guess I had the benefit of at least making the picks but not the points and I only picked three games wrong that week, but you only missed one game. Agreed about the flex scheduling though, it's almost fucked me a couple times.
Glenn 12-21-2007, 01:02 PM Put em up in here like I did. I guess I had the benefit of at least making the picks but not the points and I only picked three games wrong that week, but you only missed one game. Agreed about the flex scheduling though, it's almost fucked me a couple times.
Rules are rules, it's nobody's fault but my own.
WTFchris 12-21-2007, 01:50 PM yeah, put your picks up here and see if you can catch us. In fairness, you should automatically lose 16 on last nights game though as a penalty.
Glenn 12-21-2007, 01:51 PM no thanks, I need to pay for this mistake, lol
What sucks about Thursday games too is you don't hear much about injuries that affect Sunday games. I just heard that Lewis, Heap, and Rolle are out for Baltimore. I picked Bal just for the hell of it but I wouldn't have even done that knowing those guys are out.
WTFchris 12-21-2007, 03:40 PM ^true that. they fixed that in the college bowl pickem though. You can still edit your picks now, just the games that have been started/played are all locked in.
Wilfredo Ledezma 12-24-2007, 12:18 AM Damnit, I had a terrible week, congrats WTFChris, barring a major letdown, your gonna get the win in Week 16...
WTFchris 12-24-2007, 09:35 AM If SD wins tonight we are tied going into the last week though. Hope the Broncos can pull out a win to give me a 10 point cusion (could really use that).
