Week 13 mid-week recap
Thanksgiving 2008 = NFL blowouts
The combined score of the three turkey games were 129-39. But at least all y’all were imbibing, right?
15 of the 20 players left picked either the Titans or Cowboys, so most of us are surviving another week.
It’s also looking more and more like we’re going to have a split pot again this year. In 2005, the only other time that it has happened in seven years, there were ten players going into week 13, and we have 20 this year. Maybe next year, I’ll come up with a way of taking the pool into the playoffs.

I don’t agree taking it into the playoffs. Just because this was an exceptional year doesn’t mean subsequent years will be. Plus, the strategy of the game changes once you introduce playoffs. Keep it the way it is, I don’t mind splitting the pot

maybe up the entry fee to $15 and eliminate the buy back magillicutty rule. There are only 6 players left who did not buy back.

The overall pot was inflated 85% because of buybacks this year.
By doing what Dave suggests, this year the pot would be 20% smaller.
