That is phenominal!!! I love the way Mello picked up Houston and then dropped it --- only to later pick up the KC cookie. What are the odds?

I hope he does this or something like it every week. :142smilie :142smilie :142smilie

A) I always show up uninvited to those "gatherings".
B) Your cheap ass wasn't gonna leave me nothin in the will anyway.:nono:

There is pressure to be sure. I'm better in the playoffs, which is why I set it up so that there's some room to catch up in the postseason.

For Mr. Mel, the playoffs are like 2 years away!:mj23: :00x16

Mr. Mel will of course want some biscuits vs something for you, and I will want a commission for handling all this as Mr. Mel's manager vs something for you.

How bout a box of biscuits (premium!) and a case of your best micro-brew vs ???:shrug:

Luckily for Mel, he lives in the moment!!!

That makes it kinda difficult for him to track trends. But it's a very useful thing at times to have a short memory when gambling.

It's looking like the Panthers are going to be a huge fade play so far...

I like baby blue :shrug:

That works for me. I will pony up 24 of Canadas finest micro brews and a box of dog Treats of your choice. in return for ?? What do you have to offer (local treats) I don't know your location.. We will work something out though out the year I'm sure but consider it a wager.

Yeah, that's getting me nervous about that selection. At least the line has been moving. I wouldn't be surprised if it's close to Rams -3 by kickoff.

Yeah, I'm sure the line is moving because of everyone in this contest who bet it... :mj07: :mj07:


And where the heck is Cosmo run off to? Is he really that scared of Mr. Mel?

Considering how square this contest is, it's probably a good indication of a larger trend.;)

If he saw Mr. Mel's Selection Show (and everyone who hasn't really should: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxIPQukDV28), then he's probably cutting his losses and heading for safety.:s1:
