========================================

Wow, what a close match! Congrats to both Bear and Thunder! I just spent the last 4 hours putting together a recumbent bike that I've had in the box for a few years. I am all cursed out, but it's done! I have finished 4 rounds of the Turkeys vs. Top 10 matchups, but won't get my Bink Gazette out until tomorrow. It's food and beer time!

I feel the no. 1 draft pick inching toward my grasp!

Don't understand this. Thought I would be better this year ...

I know it hasn't been pretty, but perhaps this will give you hope . . .

So far, 69 fighters have gone prime
That's an average of 2.9/team . . six teams still have 0-1 prime guys, including St. Louis . . those teams will improve by default soon

Thanks, Mark. I was a bit surprised by the result, but will take it (obviously). The Binks have matched their win total from last season, but that doesn't mean we won't finish 2-8. I'm just thrilled that we aren't (yet) in our customary position in the basement of the Cribb Division!

Wasn't Cocoa Kid one of yours in a prior league? Now that Armstrong has been added, his days as Number One are numbered!

I keep hoping more of my better guys go prime, soon. Bellosie is the only decent guy on my club at prime right now. Better things are bound to come.

Most of us are in the same boat here. We just have to bide our time and wait for our guys to develop.

Thanks, Thunder. Gotta get better soon!

Cocoa was one of my favorites. He's doing well for now, but Hank is looming out there for sure.

Not sure if thats the right attitude to have for a super bowl contender as any sign of adversity they quit. It makes them seem like a bunch of front runners. You are correct though they seem to have found what they need to make the playoffs.

Yeah they do seem to lose the swagger very fast without Romo back there. I would have liked to see Felix Jones with them down the stretch but thats the breaks. The playoffs will be a tough job..they have the Steelers,Giants,Ravens and Eagles...rough games every single one. They need at least 2 wins to have a shot and 3 would probably secure a spot. The NFC is crazy this year. Take care.

Et Tu, Hugh? Then fall the Binks! Such cruel words from the left - jabber! I'm happy just to be competitive so far. TG there's no Hebron looming on the schedule, though we can make any team look like them on a given day!

Keep on punching! I've gotta work on my Bink Gazette!
