Just looked at the leaderboard for the Beat Bob Glauber football picks contest, and we've got a ton of players involved.

Looks like I'm hanging in, despite a number of huge upsets the first two weeks. But there are plenty of folks ahead. One guy who is NOT doing well is our own Adam Abramson, who did a bangup job at the Newsday football forum the other night for select Newsday readers, but evidently isn't as expert at making NFL picks.
Stick to the colleges, kid.
(Adams knows how much I like and respect him. If he's upset and wants to stick it to me in his Campus Confidential blog, which is way more popular than this one, he can simply refer to my woeful history of making NFL picks. I have given Adam many shoutouts in the past, and will continue to do so in the future. And remember, the mere mention of his name is an indication that I consider him big-time. Truth be told, I'm just glad someone who knows what the hell he's talking about with football is right there with me struggling to figure out the most unpredictable sports league out there.)
... Adam says he'll be with us covering Giants-Redskins tomorrow in Landover. Hope Staple is ready.

You just ran roughshod over that abramson kid. take it easy on the youngling
Don't you worry about Adam, Faw Bills. The kid can take it. He's in the big leagues now. He's big-time.
Still have 'Man Love' for Herm Edwards Bob?
Minnesota will win this game by nine (9)!
Herm has to be the worst coach in the NFL!
Black N Gold:
Where's all the bitterness coming from? You won the "Comment Contest," for goodness sake. :)
If Minnesota beats KC on the road, I will eat my notebook.
Just checking... I signed up on the link, played both weeks so far and I have an overall 72% accuracy. Is that good? ;)
Bob...not sure if we're looking at different leaderboards, but I have 22 right through the first two weeks which has me in second place? Maybe I should move up to the pros?
See you in Landover!
NKR:
So, you pick three of every four games correctly, and you're wondering if that's good? Um ... yeah, that's good. That's REALLY good, especially with all the upsets the first two weeks.
I need to step up and admit when I'm wrong... Those Vikes really let me down and lost to KC.
I still reserve the right to call H.E. the worst coach in the NFL!
Congrats on getting it right Bob!
Well, Bob, I don't need any of the other prizes - I'll just take a signed beefcake pic of you... Your head shot is a thousand times better than Neil's... And I'm thinking that you could beat Neil from the neck down too. Neil doesn't cut a bad profile though, now that I think about it. Could be a fun challenge.
Black N Gold:
I was beginning to think I really would have to eat my notebook. Thank goodness your guy Herman Edwards came through!
Well Bob, you can put the hot sauce away for at least another week... on the other hand, I still have to get through one more week/victory by the Steelers against surprising Arizona before I can rest easy. :-)
GO CHIEFS!
Bob, would you believe it if I told you I haven't watched a single NFL game yet this season? And I'm only at 71% accuracy... What are you at?
