    The 2012 CQ Ranking Manager Game

    the average of the picks is usually a good selection, regardless of what you're estimating. it's no surprise that the top two teams are the closest to the average selection. just gutted i didn't get closer to it myself!

    this is still a disaster. sort it out i find it genuinely staggering that a misstep this big has been and not reversed. my usage of the forum has shrunk incredibly in the last couple of weeks.

    The Real Football Thread

    it's the not knowing that kills you. west ham fan, currently top of the league not exactly filling me with confidence losing 5-1 to ipswich is really embarassing. the thing that makes me happiest about everything at the moment (other than collison and noble) is @TheBig_Sam on twitter...

    "My friend and I went to the beach last summer, and she forgot to bring a tampon. …" looks like the title to just the sort of article i'd like to read, given my fondness for cycling and pro bike races. how well they know me...... i assumed this was some sort of trial, but no, it seems a...

    The 2012 CQ Ranking Manager Game

    statistically the average selection will be pretty accurate i expect to see kvinto in the final top 10 (i haven't looked at his team, although i'm sure i can guess who's in it). my technique was scanning peoples teams from last year and seeing who was an awful selection, then picking them...

    don't disagree, the niners defence is really strong, but this was against a really struggling big ben.

    the more i see of Tebow the less i believe. i though it was supposed to work the other way round.

    National Football League

    8 matches at wembley would be a new home venue for someone! i think it would be quite manageable as travel wise seattle-miami is a comparable distance to new york-london. i'm not convinced that there is enough support in europe to get 70,000+ people for 8 games a year (i've been to the...

    Krebs' Free form/Chaos Thread

    what's Flemish for amazing? which pro lives in that building? and can anyone think of anything cooler than Boonen with three other pros rolling up to your house and asking if you fancy a spin?

    Poems and Poets

    at school we had to learn by heart a new poem every year. I know that I shall meet my fate Somewhere among the clouds above; Those that I fight I do not hate, Those that I guard I do not love; My country is Kiltartan Cross, My countrymen Kiltartan's poor, No likely end could bring them...

    has a team ever won an nfl game (superbowl era) with fewer than 2 completed passes?

    Boxing

    this is going to sound harsh but.... tyson fury looked overweight, far from technically sound, his jaw might be a problem. in short i don't think the klitschkos are going to be worried.

    National Football League

    i was never a believer or a hater. i'm far from convinced that he's the second coming. maybe a middle of the road NFL QB (like mike vick or vince young) part of the problem he faces is that denver will have to make their offence very dependent on him, to get the best out of him, and...

    National Football League

    i'm far from convinced that i know the answer but...... i actually think the Indy situation is pretty embarrassing. manning isn't young, and has been broadly healthy, a big injury was likely at some stage and the Brady injury a couple of years ago should've given them a heads up. this...
