Special report
We interrupt Christmas merriment (and dozing) for an important charity pro football pool update: Genop has picked the Chargers at Tennessee tonight, for a possible 3 points. He's currently 8 points out of the "money" and 15 points behind his mom, who leads the pool with an impressive 33.5.
I can't believe they're playing pro football on Christmas night and showing it only on pay-per-view. The closest I'll be getting is here.
Anyway -- you other players, don't forget to make your selection and get it to me by 11:59 p.m. tomorrow.
UPDATE, 12/26, 1:02 a.m.: San Diego won easily, moving genop up, with the rest of the crew still to play this week.
Also, an important note in the standings: Michael W. correctly points out that he picked Oakland in last weekend's major upset, netting him an additional 14 points above those listed in the standings as previously published. He's in fifth place, with genop now right behind him. Sorry about the oversight.

Jack: You need to dump Comcast and get DirectTV. The NFL Channel has all these thursday night games on the middle and upper tier packages.
Unless you have to see all the Blazer games on TV or are a U of O homer; I fail to see any other reason for having cable.

I can get all the NFL games on cable, but they cost extra, at least above what they're pounding us for already. If the tradeoff is between a handful of pro football games a year and several dozen Blazer games, I've got to go with the latter. If I hit the Powerball tonight, I'm getting them all.
