Week 1 Summary

In every year there has been a loser in Week 1. This year is no different, six entries are now residing in the Loser's Bracket.

Kim Parker was devastated by Pittsburgh's overtime victory. Why pick against the Steelers in week 1 when they had won seven straight openers? Also they have never lost to Atlanta in Pittsburgh. You can find facts like these in online game previews at ESPN and CBS Sports Line.

Billy "Taco" Gregory, who is playing King for the first time, lost with the Dallas Cowboys. I guess all that talk of playing in the Super Bowl at home got the Cowboys big-headed.

Finally, four lost with San Diego. They had to stay up late last night to see how even the NFL has become. Sam Heermans, Nancy MacAskill, Nate Taylor, and Kevin Whatley (who is also playing for the first time) are now vying for the coveted Loser's Bracket money. The young guys with Kansas City played well, and SD got no break with the constant rain. That's what makes a losing pick!

Counts:

37 vying for first
6 in with a second chance
