I promise to keep in touch when I am in Florida. It looks like the hotel/motel that I am staying has wifi, but just in case, please e-mail me your picks to BMNPicks@.... Thanks.

Hello everyone and welcome to Week 14! This is the final week of the regular season for the MFL. By this time next week, we should know the eight teams that make the playoffs. My team will be one of them and has a shot of being division champs of the division if they can win one of the either next two games or have the second place team (The Evil Genius) lose one of the either next two games. Anyways, on Friday morning, I leave for the Sunshine State of Florida. I feel great about going, but I will miss my family and friends here in Massachusetts for the holidays. I am not worried though. Despite the fact that I will have a laptop with me, I am still going to need people to e-mail me their picks to bmnpicks@... (you can also send them to mikedimauro31784@..., but will have more access to them with bmnpicks@...) until I get settled down there. I think it will be a great journey down. I did once before, so doing it again won’t hurt me! This will be a rough week for me because I need to pack and I also need to do a final paper for one of my classes that has to be at least 8 pages long. I do not know if I will be able to write a paper that long, but if I have to, I will do it on two topics that relate to one another. I also have the pleasure to tell you some good news. I got a family tree from the DiMauro side of the family and when I entered it in on Geni.com, I found out how big the family is and all of the second and third cousins I have! It’s amazing! Some of them are still living in Italy! I have to translate to them in Italian, in order for me to message them.
DEADLINE: Thursday Game: Thursday, December 10 @ 8:15PM ET; Yahoo! Pick’em: Thursday, December 10 @ 8:15PM ET; All Other Games: Sunday, December 13 @ 12:55 PM ET.
NOTE TO EVERYONE: Whether you play on Yahoo! Pick’em or by e-mail or by Facebook, please send your picks to me at bmnpicks@.... Thank You!
NEWS:
1. Week 13 standings will be released on Tuesday.
2. You might notice other colors being used for the games this week. If you see a team in blue text, they have clinched a spot in the playoffs. If you see a team listed in red text, they are eliminated from playoff contention. Please note that more teams will be in blue and red as the rest of the season plays out.
3. I am doing a College Bowl Pick’em on Yahoo this year. You are more than welcome to play and invite your friends to play! ID is 8794. No password is needed. Good luck in the College Bowl Pick’em league!
4. On Thanksgiving, you got an e-mail from bmnhof@.... That is your official ballot for the BMN Hall of Fame Class of 2010. You can vote up to 5 people and ballots are due on January 1, 2010 at 11:59PM ET. The top 5 from voting plus those who I feel those who deserve to be in, will be the class of 2010.
5. I invite you to join Orlando 183 of NAFCA & Good Sam. Please go to orlando183nafca.tripod.com if you are interested in joining. I also encourage you to become a member of NAFCA and/or Good Sam so that you can also enjoy some of the benefits and do their outings as well!

Well, I did get the laptop and now I need to figure it all out before next Friday. Now, it's my car's turn to see if it will be ok to drive. I think it will not be a problem. I need everything to be perfect for me to go to Florida! The season is heading into the homestretch, but remember, that we have five weeks of playoffs coming up (includes Pro Bowl since it's played before the Superbowl this season). I have added the bonus points into the standings this week, so the total number you see includes the bonus points. Remember that next season, the number of bonus points will be reduced because there will be a seperate UFL Pick'em game and there will be a seperate MLB playoff game. Only the championship games will be for bonus points starting next season. Here's the standings for Week 12:

Hello everyone and welcome to Week 13! What a great time this is! It’s the time of year that more games mean more for those teams trying to get into the playoffs. At least we are done with bonus picks for the 2009 season. I think I am planning to make a separate pick’em game for both the MLB playoffs and the UFL season, though I would still keep the World Series, Grey Cup and UFL Championship game as bonus picks for 2010. More details in 2010. Bonus picks for 2009 will be added into the total this week! Also, starting next week, everyone will need to e-mail me your picks to bmnpicks@.... I am hoping to get a laptop by then, so that I could still connect to the internet in Florida. Keep in mind that if I do not get that laptop, then your newsletters will be sent by mdimauro16@.... Just be prepared on that if that is the case. Like I have said in the past, please stay tuned for more information! I might send e-mail on December 10 (the day before I leave) to let you know what is going on for sure. Please keep your eyes on your e-mail box. I hope your Thanksgiving was a great one and it’s time to get ready for some more pigskin!
Here we go with the games for Week 13:
NFL:
New York Jets @ Buffalo (From Toronto)(THURSDAY NIGHT; NFL)

NEWS:
1. Week 12 standings will be released on Tuesday.
2. You might notice other colors being used for the games this week. If you see a team in blue text, they are in the playoffs. If you see a team listed in red text, they are eliminated from playoff contention. I would use red for one of the AFL legacy games, but since the last one is this week, I will use green for that game. Please note that more teams will be in blue and red as the rest of the season plays out.
3. On Thursday, you got an e-mail from bmnhof@.... That is your official ballot for the BMN Hall of Fame Class of 2010. You can vote up to 5 people and ballots are due on January 1, 2010 at 11:59PM ET. The top 5 from voting plus those who I feel those who deserve to be in, will be the class of 2010.

Two more days until Thanksgiving and three games being played on that day. It's early, so make sure you get your picks in early! If you happen to send in your picks after the first game starts on Thursday, I will still count you for the other two and if you miss the first two, I will still count you for the final game. This only works for this week and of course if you miss the Thursday games, I will still count your Sunday & Monday games. Also on Thanksgiving, you will receive an e-mail from me at a different e-mail address sending you the list of nominees for the BMN Hall of Fame Class of 2010. Ballots will be due at the e-mail address that I sent it from on January 1, 2010 at 11:59PM ET. More instructions on how to vote comes on Thursday. Also, I apologize for not letting you know that the OAK-DAL and MIA-BUF are both legacy games. I forgot to put those two games in red text in the week 12 newsletter. Ok folks, here's the standings for week 11:

Hello everyone and welcome to Week 12! Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks to those around you in your life. Thanksgiving is a day to be with your families and celebrate a meal together. Thanksgiving is a day for traditions. For the last two years, I was in Florida for the Thanksgiving holiday (in 2007 as vacation with my parents and 2008 for the college program). I will be happy (upset that my parents won’t be there for Thanksgiving for the second year in a row) that I will be with my family for Thanksgiving. At least I will be with my family for this holiday because I will and I repeat, will not be with my family for Christmas. This year will mark a brand new BMN that I hope that you will be able to participate in (more on those details in the NEWS section). Remember that your Thursday night picks are due on Thursday and the rest of the games can be submitted on Sunday before the games start.
Here we go with the games for Week 12! The UFL & CFL championship games will follow:

2. BMN will have a new tradition this year. As most of you know, I said it when I did the Week 10 standings e-mail. I will be sending you a list of nominees for the BMN Hall of Fame Class of 2010 from either bmn31784@... or bmnhof@... and which ever e-mail address I use, you will need to send your votes to that e-mail address. The ballot will be sent on Thanksgiving Day. All past and present BMN players are welcome to vote for the BMN Hall of Fame Class of 2010. Ballots will be due at 11:59PM ET on January 1, 2010. The members of the class of 2010 will be announced between Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the day before the Superbowl. I will announce more details in the ballot and this will be a yearly event, so be prepared to vote!
3. I invite you to join Orlando 183 of NAFCA & Good Sam. Please go to orlando183nafca.tripod.com if you are interested in joining. I also encourage you to become a member of NAFCA and/or Good Sam so that you can also enjoy some of the benefits and do their outings as well!
4. If you do not get Versus for the championship game on Friday with your cable or satellite provider, then you can go towww.getufl.comand click on schedule to watch the football game.
5. I am planning to go back to Florida on December 11. Just in case I do not have a laptop with me down there, I would have my dad send the newsletter out every Monday morning before he leaves for work. I have tried doing some of the newsletters on my phone last year and it’s very hard to do it on my phone, so I would do it the way that I am planning to do it. I just wanted to give you a heads up now on it though. If I do not get internet access in Florida, I will need you all to send your picks to bmnpicks@... (assuming that I can get that e-mail address, might even try it for Week 14 to make sure it works), whether you play by Facebook, e-mail or Yahoo! Pick’em.
6. If you would like to get a text message from me wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving, please let me know and I will send you a text wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving Day. I can text to any cell phone around the world, including Canada, the UK, France, China, Australia, any nation!
Good Luck in Week 12 and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello everyone! I have the Week 10 standings. What a game on Sunday night with New England and Indianapolis. I can't believe that New England went for it on 4th down with two minutes to go and turned the ball to the Colts and they scored to win. New England had a 17 point lead in the 4th quarter and it was gone with that play. Congrats for picking the Colts. I picked the Colts to win the game, as a matter of fact because I thought that they were going to win the game and go on to 9-0. I was rooting for New England towards the end of the game, however. Oh well! Can't win them all, I guess!
Also, I probably forgot to say this back in the Week 11 newsletter (I will say it for the Week 12 newsletter), but I am including you in helping to decide who should be in the Beat Mike Hall of Fame for Class of 2010. I will send you an e-mail on Thanksgiving Day (from a different e-mail address) that will include all of the names of those who have been nominated into the class of 2010. Then, you have until January 1, 2010 to vote for 5 of them to be in the class (and send them to the e-mail address that I sent the HOF information). The top 5 from the votes, plus a certain number, will be the members of Beat Mike Class of 2010. Voting is open to all BMN players of past and present.
I said in the Week 11 newsletter that I might not have a laptop for my trip to Florida in December. I will have my cell phone, however and I can check my e-mail. To make things easier for me, if I can't get access to a computer, then my dad would send you the newsletter each week and you would then send your picks (whether you play by e-mail, Yahoo! Pick'em or Facebook) to a special e-mail address and each week, I will still do the standings. The reason why I would do it this way is because it's very hard for me to type up a newsletter on my cell phone and send it. I would not have access to Yahoo! Pick'em on my phone, so you would have to e-mail me your picks, unless I can see if someone who plays the game is willing to print the sheet of picks for me and give them to me each week (and you know who I am talking to). More details on this will come in the coming weeks.
The other thing I said in the Week 11 newsletter is that we will get some new players in 2010 from the JL. Let's make them feel welcome to Beat Mike!
Sorry for taking so long, but I wanted to say that and here is the standings from Week 10:

Hello everyone and welcome to Week 11! I got some news. Jon Parrish has approved me to run his pick’em leagues starting next year.I am planning to run only one league, however and that is Beat Mike. We are planning to get a few more players to play Beat Mike next year. I am happy with the news and now, I can start planning for the merge. This merge will not affect anyone here because we are just getting new players for the league. I will keep in touch on how things will go.

5. If you do not get Versus or HDNet with your cable or satellite provider, then you can go to www.getufl.com and click on schedule to watch the football games. That is also the web site that you can go and get the schedule of games. I watched the Thursday night game on Versus and it was a pretty good game! I recommend the UFL to anyone that is looking for a football craving during the middle of the week!
6. I am planning to go back to Florida on December 11. Just in case I do not have a laptop with me down there, I would send you the newsletter via my cell phone or have my dad send you the newsletter and then have you send your picks to me. We’ll figure something out, however before then. I just wanted to give you a heads up now on it though.
Good Luck in Week 11!

Hello everyone! I have the Week 9 standings for you. I can't believe that we are halfway through this season all ready. We have 8 more weeks in the regular season and 5 weeks in the playoffs (includes Pro Bowl this season). Anyways, I have done the standings and none of you got above 10 this week. I also updated the bonus points to include the World Series and UFL games. I am thinking next year that we will do a seperate pick'em for both UFL and MLB playoffs as part of the changes that I am going to make if I am given the green light to run the JL Pick'em leagues next year in addition to Beat Mike. Also next year, I am thinking about making a return to the NASCAR league and run a league for NASCAR starting in February and starting in early September, I think I will run a college pick'em league again and this time, the college pick'em league champion will not be crowned until after all of the bowl games are played (similiar to Beat Mike on how we do not crown the champion until the Superbowl). Here we go. The Week 9 standings:

Hello everyone and welcome to Week 10! I got some news for you and I would like your opinion on it. See NEWS section for that. Anyways, as most of you know, Veterans Day (Remembrance Day in Canada) is on Wednesday. Fox did their Week 9 pre game show from Afghanistan. This is the first time that I have done a week dedicated to our veterans and those who are serving our country in the military. We thank you for all you do to protect us and to allow us to have our freedom. On Wednesday, everyone that is in the military or everyone that has served in the military is able to eat for free at Applebee’s restaurants all over the country. Also, beginning this week, we have Thursday night football! Remember that your Thursday night picks are due on Thursday and the rest of the games can be submitted on Sunday before the games start.
Here we go with the games for Week 10! The UFL games will follow:
NFL:
Chicago @ San Francisco (THURSDAY NIGHT; NFL Network)
Atlanta @ Carolina (Fox)
New Orleans @ St. Louis (Fox)
Denver @ Washington (CBS)
Buffalo @ Tennessee (CBS)
Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh (CBS)
Tampa Bay @ Miami (Fox)
Jacksonville @ New York Jets (CBS)

NEWS:
1. Week 9 standings, including the bonus picks from the World Series and UFL will be released on Tuesday.
2. Congrats to all of you that have picked the New York Yankees to win the World Series.
3. Here’s the news that I have wanted to tell you. I received an e-mail from Jon Parrish, the president of JL saying that he is planning to cut back on some of his fantasy teams and duties. I am currently talking to him about running his pick’em leagues starting next year. If this goes through, then everyone who plays in JL NFL Challenge will be joining us and playing Beat Mike with us. It will be a great experience to have some new comers in our game. There might be some changes, but I will try to keep everything the way it is now. I might have to run two pick’em leagues on Yahoo! & everyone that plays in that league will also be members of Beat Mike and their standings will be included in the Beat Mike standings. I know that there are some of you who are in the JL and I would like to get your opinion on what should I do next year if this goes through.
4. I invite you to join Orlando 183 of NAFCA & Good Sam. Please go to orlando183nafca.tripod.com if you are interested in joining. I also encourage you to become a member of NAFCA and/or Good Sam so that you can also enjoy some of the benefits and do their outings as well!
5. If you do not get Versus or HDNet with your cable or satellite provider, then you can go to www.getufl.com and click on schedule to watch the football games. That is also the web site that you can go and get the schedule of games. I watched the Thursday night game on Versus and it was a pretty good game! I recommend the UFL to anyone that is looking for a football craving during the middle of the week!
Good Luck in Week 10! God Bless America!

I know I said that I would not release the standings until the World Series was over, but I am going to wait until the Week 9 standings to include the World Series bonus picks. I did include the UFL games in the bonus standings for this week. Anyways, here's the standings for Week 8:
