Meta discussion: 
<a href="/f1/show?page=matchup&lid=206&week=8&mid1=2&mid2=8">

is actually broken HTML. It needs to be entitized as: 
<a href="/f1/show?page=matchup&amp;lid=206&amp;week=8&amp;mid1=2&amp;m
+id2=8">

Sure, some browsers error-correct that broken HTML and try to interpret what the original codes meant, but please don't write code that generates garbage like the first example. See the W3 HTML spec for confirmation and details.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:

    < &lt;
    > &gt;
