When I was growing up, we played a lot of sports at home. Being a family with 3 boys and one sis, a big back yard and an age where there was no such thing as the xbox or the internet meant we'd make up games. My brother was awesome at thinking up games to play. We'd have a tennis ball and we could've played about a dozen different games.
Now some of these games we made up didn't really make sense, but since he was the eldest, and had devised the rules, we had to put up with them. One of the games I have vivid memories of was his version of dominoes. We bunkered down on opposite sides of the room, hiding behind tables or pillows and we threw dominoes at each other. There wasn't many rules, but I remember he had all the dominoes.
Now I don't know if it was a rule that I wasn't allowed to throw them back, or wether I didn't fancy abandoning my protection to gather the ammunition lying around, but I would get hammered. But don't worry about me, I remember getting my own back through biting or pushing Sean off the top bunk - Such fond childhood memories ...
Anyway, my point is - as I've got older, I've learnt my lessons well. Now I know the beauty of organising games - I GET TO SET THE RULES! And just like a backyard cricket rule that states: "Over the fence is six and out; but not for that last ball I smashed cause that was crap-house bowling", I propose this one: "NFL tipster scores shall be reset when a new tipper is introduced, in order for everyone to start on an even baseline." Oh, and Gobbo is joining our tipping ranks from this week. So that means Wk 11 begins with everyone at 0-0-0. Any objections? Anyone ...
Even though they are now irrelevant - I will post last week's scores:
Mushi: 6-8-0
Sportsline: 6-8-0
Nasde: 4-10-0
