The entire free world is trembling! Journalists are completely lost.

As I have already stated, pure logic dictates that the Americans are behind this. I can only applaud them, especially seeing how these people whine. 👍

The Kremlin’s lapdog Tucker Carlson is whining about the fate of the pipeline, suggesting the Biden administration might have sabotaged it. Russian state media is eating this up, treating it like it’s some profound truth. It’s pathetic.

I can't find the exact clip of the Russians right now, but they basically aired the whole segment on one of those propaganda shows of theirs.

Logic tells me that NATO and U.S. forces mined the pipeline, and I fully support that move. It’s one less chip on the table for those who favor appeasement.

Just a quick heads-up: if anyone misses two weeks in a row, I won't include them in the standings to keep things simple. You are always welcome to jump back in, and any previous winning picks will still count toward your total score.

There is no pick Six this week. Our Round 3 winners are acmevagabundo,gelo85 and silentpanther7, all finishing with five correct picks! 🎉🎉🎉

Here are the updated standings. Let me know if you see any errors.

bluesailor16 said:Auuu, my results from the first three rounds were an absolute disaster. 🤦

Don't make me laugh. Even the third round was a failure with only two hits. 😵

Carol Johnson21 said:The real issue here is that he can't just lean on his nuclear arsenal to secure his position. If he pulls the trigger on that first strike, his own people will likely stage a coup.
Besides, the second one isn't going to be Russian anyway.

They’re talking about shutting down the borders to Russia—if you fled, you fled. Meanwhile, over in Germany, they’re still holding rallies to show support for Mother Russia. Maybe it's time we look into mobilizing them instead.

Perhaps they could be interned as enemy aliens and deported from the country?

Terry Green3 said:So, what’s our "braggart neighbor" actually doing to prep for the vote on kicking Russia out of the UN Security Council?

I want to know if there is even a mechanism for this. It is a farce. Having someone like Lavrov walking around there acting like a legitimate diplomat is ridiculous. He’s a total Ribbentrop and deserves nothing less than the gallows.

As for those colleagues lamenting that America isn't trying hard enough anymore—slow down. I am certain the lights stay on 24/7 in some offices in Virginia. 👍

Good luck, everyone!

The term "partial" is meaningless. What would "total" even look like? Mobilizing 20 million people is a logistical impossibility for them. They are simply drafting as many as they can realistically supply.

It is shameful that there aren't larger protests. Honestly, it is shameful that there weren't any six months ago. Fuck those guys. I felt some sympathy for the average Russian soldier at first, seeing how many had no idea where they were or what they were doing. That stage is long gone. 😠

Anthony Jones15 said:Does anyone know which six picks might be featured this week?
I am certain one matchup will be TB-GB, but could CIN-NYJ be on the list? I believe the Jets are going to feel the fury of Burrow, Chase, and the rest of the crew 😁

I traditionally post them Friday mornings. Check the sportsbook odds. It is always the six most unpredictable games. 👍

ruggedowl13 said:A bunch of Azov fighters from Mariupol have been freed. I mean, this is going to be such a massive morale boost for the guys holding the line at the front.

Even the commanders are included.

slycobra5 said:It is just like playing a game of low-ball poker where the winner is whoever holds the lowest value cards.

Or like calling SANS during a high-stakes hand of Poker. 😁

It wouldn't have mattered anyway. We were headed for a 0-6 shutout. 🙈

There are still 16 weeks left to fix this. 😁

Thomas Johnson32 said:Things have started off well. 🙏 I believe he needs to hit five out of six, not just four. He must achieve that mark. 🙂

Exactly! I have updated the spreadsheet. Everything will be back in order within a week. 👍

Wait, does the death penalty even exist in Ukraine? Has any court actually sentenced someone to death?

Stop talking nonsense. I also believe such a person deserves death. And that the world would be a better place without them, etc.

But killing an unarmed person is today illegal everywhere and always.

I am not talking about World War II, when under the rules of that time, it was still legal to kill civilian hostages, a spy caught in your uniform, and so on. Maybe even your own deserter*, but I am not certain about that. I know it happened during World War I. Today, none of that is legal.

The last thing Ukraine needs is war crimes.

*Everything mentioned was legal only if done officially and according to regulations.

Roger Campbell3 said:What are you smoking?
Every collaborator or traitor was either tried after the war or, more often, killed during it.
Do you honestly think our partisans—or even the French Resistance, for example—just bypassed that?
Usually, collaborators were killed during the war if they were caught; if they got lucky, they faced a trial later.
San Marino would do the same, not to mention almost any other nation.
A legitimate target.

I wish. But look, you have a point. In 1945, sure. Today, attacking a "non-combatant" is completely illegal and counterproductive. If they killed her, Russia and their useless idiots in the West would turn her into a martyr.

I have zero sympathy for occupiers, let alone collaborators, but this is simply not the way.

What an incredible opening week!

We performed exceptionally well. Many forum members secured five correct picks.

However, we must offer congratulations to our colleagues kevin love and ruggedfox28 for hitting the Pick Six on their first attempt! 🎉🎉🎉🙏🙏🙏

We also acknowledge the two members who took a massive risk and landed a Pick Zero! 🙂 I will not name them here; they know who they are (and the standings in table 😁 make it obvious).

I only slept two or three hours, so please excuse any errors. Let me know if anything needs correcting.

It does not matter if it isn't recognized.

That remains a possibility!

If nobody has an issue with this, I will admit it. 😁

We aren't playing for money.
