Were the games this weekend good......or were they good? I'll admit that seeing my Panthers lose wasn't fun, but the weekend on the whole was great! Consider: > The 0-10 Colts beat the Packers as the clock rolls to 0:00. > The Chiefs win over the Broncos was great football -- even if you only saw the last two minutes. > The NFL had its first tie game since 1989 when the Eagles and Ravens played to a 10-10 finish. (Both kickers missed FGs in OT.) The second ownership change of the season just took place. The team affec- ted is League III's Dolphins. The new owner is Michael Farrier (family4@ aug.com). He's decided to keep the team name the same for the balance of the season, but promises a new name for '98. I'm now accepting proposals for rules changes for the 1997-1998 Competition Committee E-meeting (to be held in January). I will try to post the pro- posals to the Site as they make their way to the RAFFLE offices. Because of Thursday games (incluing the annual Turkey Day games), there will be no trade windows for Weeks 14 and 15. Also, Weeks 16 and 17 each have a pair of Saturday games. This will move the lineup deadline to Saturday at 10:30 am EST for the final two weeks of RAFFLE's season.
