Re: Updates, plus at Colorado wager opens Tie -1-1 probably, I'll take four points heading into the home opener. Grouchy, based on recent events, I'm changing my prediction on this to Eddie Gaven.

Why did B close so early? Can I get in on that action since we're still 3 weeks from the home opener? My attendance prediction is 16k, so B) 3, if I can get in on that.
Hmm, some of these seem to have closed early but here are my guesses anyway: Proposition 01: 5, lose by 2 or more goals. Proposition B: 4, Big crowd for the opener. Proposition D: 11, Kei Kamara Proposition E: 6, Frankie Hejduk Proposition F: 1, The Crew get a PK from a Gaven or Martino flop.
02) A tough 1-0 LOSS at Colorado, simply because we hardly ever win there. *As a side note, I'm sure some ex-Crew player will score for Colorado.*

Re: Updates Good choice but not one of the options. Grouchy, is there any way that questions like this one (naming a Crew or opponent) always have a none of the above? I think that this is kind of a necessity. Thanks,
Yeah, there is a way. Just not this time The problem you run into with "none of the above" is there are potentially fourteen options per starting line-up, and 24? per team. In order to have a "none of the above" you need a comparable number of "above" options to balance things out. Besides, this is an unofficial funsies type of thing. When it gets to the point where we are questioning things and discussing them a la "Life of Brian" then it gets to be not so fun anymore. negativetouch fidlerre your picks were recorded
I know its just for fun and/or bragging rights BUT Life of Brian was fun and funny... if you had said "a la Meaning of Life" then, sure, I would have to agree.

Ehh, I just thought KC was better than their record last year and had a veteran team and coach. Meanwhile we're adding starters the week of the opener and had big turnover on the roster. I certainly hope we improve as the season goes along.
