Klinsman fired. I think it's a mistake. I'm excited about the future though.

Who do I play, Murray or Cooper? I need 16 points to win.

Thanks Woody

Penguins-165 Sabres +145

My wife quit her job today. I'm not mad, but I'm in shock. We don't need the money, but it means a couple less vacations per year. Quality of life woman!!! Well, I guess she can start going to the gym with me in the mornings.... I'm going to have to find a hobby.

I agree tactical decisions. I think he tried something new, lesson learned, I have no problem with that. Until they lose a WCQ their not supposed to I'm not concerned.

Lightning -140 Sabres +120 2100 on Tampa, Got it.

Yes, my plan is to scrap the requirement altogether since I'm the one who dickered up. Sorry about the confusion. Sorry, you still busted.

Damn. You missed the first week. I didn't catch it, allowed you to bet, and even included you in the standings. I up. Everyone is back in. No one is out for missing a week. I can't exclude others when I missed juju. I guess I'll just get rid of the weekly requirement sense I up. Unless anyone has a better idea. I'm at grandsons MMA training so I can't it right now, I'll update the standings in the morning. It went from Monday thru Sunday. But again, I up and allowed juju to bet even though he missed the first week. I think because of that its fair to let everyone else back in and waive the weekly betting requirement.

If you're right, I'll apologize and fix it. What's the post #?

It was, sorry about that, I didn't catch the joke. Now that you pointed it out to me, it's funny.

I like you. But where does it end? Do I let pi back in because his bet was only eight minutes late even though he was a complete douche with his insistence that it didn't count? What about the other people that forgot to bet? Juju was leading everyone and he's out. If I let you back in, I have to let everyone back in, and then there is no betting requirement. That's not how I wanted to set this up. I'm sorry. This was done three years ago, and was'nt done since because noone wanted to do it. I appreciate the offer but the rules were set before we started. That was the time to offer ideas on a better way to do it. Had you offered back then I would have gladly accepted. We're already into it, the rules are the same for everybody, I can't start bending them mid-game, it's not right. I'm sorry.

Wether it's accepted or not it's happening. There's precedent. There's nothing that can be done about it. You have to pick your battles, I don't think this a good one. On a gun related note, I've raised three boys and am now raising a grandson who's 13. It may surprise some of you to learn that I've never owned a gun, have never had one in my house, and have never been hunting.

The US has thrived under Klinsman. They made it out of the group of death in the WC when few thought they would. We have outstanding young talent. The Costa Rica loss is not surprising, people are over reacting based on the score IMO. It'll work out. I guess we'll agree to disagree. This is all fair. I guess maybe I like Klinsmann more than most. I don't think they have the players to succeed in a 3-5-2 formation and they players were right to insist on switching back to the more farmiliar four back set. I think they'll figure it out.

Got it Sorry. I hate it. You were very active.

Exactly. Clinton losing the election while winning the popular vote is not unprecedented. You have no choice but to accept it. Nothing to see here...

You had some banter with a couple other posters regarding their bets re: Units/price, but I don't think you actually placed a bet.

It was always supposed to be Mexico, Costa Rica and the USA. Losing to Mexico is not unexpected. Losing IN Costa Rica was not expected. It's pretty much playing out the way it was expected to, it's too early to press the panic button.

If you did, I'll apologize and I'll fix it, but I can't find your bet for that week. What's the post number?

A loss at Costa Rica is not unexpected. The extent of the loss is surprising, but 2-1 or 4-0, they count the same in the standings. Top three teams advance? It'll be okay.

Your right, sorry.
