I believe it's the two divisional champions plus the the two teams with the next best record.

This is correct on the playoff front at least I believe...

The BS Report with Bill Simmons by ESPN.

Muhammad Ali-His Life and Times by Thomas Hauser
Told as an oral history in the words of witnesses with total access facilitated by Ali himself- brilliant stuff.

Playing For Keeps- Michael Jordan and The World He Made.
The best book on Jordan- Halberstams "Breaks Of The Game" is great too.

Agree with whoever said Friday Night Lights.

That new one about El Classico looks good- anyone read it?

My team is falling apart.

Are there any physios on the free agent list?

On the subject of Nazi Germany I'm reading a book all about WW2 by Anthony Beevor. Good stuff but MEGA long.

His book on Stalingrad is fantastic. An historical account that reads as well as a novel.

I'm at the Stalingrad bit of this book at the moment. His account of it is good enough that that book specifically about Stalingrad went on the list straightaway. Have the new Neil Gaiman lined up first as a change of pace though.

Understandable. Can't be making the welshies look bad like that.

(Re)Read The Hunt for Red October recently on the Kindle with a view to reading the whole series through but most of the rest of the Jack Ryan books aren't available on Kindle -  especially the older ones


Deadly pain in the hole....

You should try Red Storm Rising. I reckon it's my favourite Clancy.

Anyone know without googling it who were the only father and son to play on the same international team. The son actually came on as a sub for his father.

Maldini? I think that happened in Milan but I'm not sure if it happened for Italy too.

In answer to the original question- since Ireland aren't there I'll support whomever my money is on.

Yeah, the projections/ power rankings are purely wins based, the Actual positioning is influenced by the division leaders as I said above.

League positions are calculated purely on wins EXCEPT the two division leaders are automatically 1&2 even if second place in one division has more wins than first in the other.

Anybody need QB help in the middle division?

I have Rivers and Cam. Want a Tight End/ Running Back.

You have them beating the Seahawks?!

Also I don't think they beat Miami in Miami. That D is for real and Atlanta is beat up.

"Tyrone's Red Hernandez"?

I'm a Derry man! I hereby lodge a complaint with the league- bring in Paul Tagliabu. This needs independent mediation!

It's "Caught Red Hernandez"- as In Aaron Hernandez- no Tyrone affiliation!

Good draft all the same. Thing about 10- teamers is that most of the teams come out lookin like juggernauts!
