NFL Week #1 So Far -- 6:54 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

With the two prime time games for the week left, here's where we stand with our NFL picks. I am 10-3 (what's up with the Vikings?) and Eeyore is 6-7. A couple of those games could have gone either way. There were some great games (Rams at Eagles) and some miserable ones (Lions at Packers, Redskins at Chargers). All told, I'm happy that pro football is back. I just hope my Lions start playing like a pro team.

I checked the news from the end of last season. Overall I was 161-87 (.649) for the 2000 season and Eeyore was 132-101 (.566).

Unix Turns 1.0E9 -- 5:57 pm CST, Update by J.t.Qbe

That's a billion, for you math skippers. Today's my mother-in-law's birthday, which means it's also the day of the apocalypse/real Y2K/momentous event of your choice. This evening at 9:46 Eastern, Unix time rolls over to 1 billion seconds since the epoch (that's January 1, 1970 for you Windows types). Sure, it's only a symbolic event, but worthy of celebration anyway. Hey, I think I'll open up that bottle of Salvator tonight.

A.T. Hun comments: Mmmmmm, Paulaner Salvator. I've got one in the fridge for just such an occasion . . .

Nerve Interview -- 12:55 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Gamespy has an interview with Nerve's Brandon James about their work on the multiplayer portion of Return to Castle Wolfenstein and just a smidge on their as-yet-unannounced new id franchise. Thanks Evil Avatar.

Welp, since I'm getting things together early here, I'm gonna throw up Eeyore's picks for the NFL this week: Vikings, Ravens, Packers, Jets, Patriots, Chiefs, Saints, Steelers, Seahawks, Bucs, Falcons, Eagles, Chargers, Dolphins, Broncos.

A.T. Hun comments: And my picks . . . (drumroll please): Ravens, Packers, Bucs, Colts, Raiders, Saints, Bengals (!), Seahawks, Steelers, Vikings, 49ers, Rams, Redskins, Titans, Broncos. The different picks are underlined. Quite a few this time! Plus we have an odd number different so there will be no ties this week!
