 [sm_anon] [sm_banghead] :punchballs:  *fudge* my ass I forgot to pick.  I'm in so many *goshdarn* leagues and pools I can't keep them all straight.    So I can't pick any for the week since I can't pick tonight's game?  I won't let me save my other picks.

 :punchballs:

I think this happened to Aske last year.  (Or actually, I think he picked the early game.  And then was waiting to pick the Sunday games, and got hosed, because he was "locked out".)

I may be mistaken.

Whole *feces* load of people without picks in.

I recall this happening often last year.  I think people can still pick the Sunday games after the Thursday game is over.

Yeah, like the saying goes, "it is what it is".  That's been the main reason why I haven't frequented any of the forums much over the past 16 months.  Started May of 08, moved out Oct 08.  In VA if you have kids you have to be separated for a year.  Should be final mid Oct.  Kids are doing surprisingly well w/ everything.  I have joint shared and physical custody, so they're w/ me 50% of the time.  I wouldn't have it any other way.  They're my main focus!!

Anybody go all chalk on week one?  I almost did, but decided to go back and pick one upset.  Can't remember now which game it was.

I can't remember the last time week 1 had so many clear cut "should be" obvious winners.  There were only 3-4 games I even remotely gave thought to.


Title: Re: NFL 2009 Pick em Pool contest
Post by: Walfredo on September 12, 2009, 09:15:12 AM
Teed:  Best wishes, good to hear about your kids. 

On Topic:  The rules say I can still pick Sunday's games eventhough I didn't get in the Thurs. pick.  But it won't let me save my picks acting like I have to pick them all when one is locked and impossible to pick.  What gives?  Can I still pick for Sun.?  Is there a setting that needs to be changed to allow this?

Disregard.  It just let me save my picks for the remaining games.  I'm in with only one down.  So I just spotted you one aske.  Bring it.

Looks like you should have thought a little more on one or two of those. ;)

ahahahahah .  hey, if  I go 13/16 every week and somebody beats me at end of year, more power to them.   I'm trying a ATS (all 16) season on espn right now, went 10/14 so far.  That would* be making $ in vegas.  I want to see how the full season plays out.


btw, that denver miss was a total fluke!!!!!!!!!!  [sm_cussing]

Teed:  Why am I shown with 8 pts in the standings when the other day I had 12?  I picked 12 of the games correctly but didn't get the first game picked in time.  So why does it show me with only 8?  That is F'd up.

don't know. I sent an email about your picks.  All I can do is wait and see if they respond.  I can't modify standings.

Looks like it was fixed the next day or so.  I'm up in the standings and one of few that had Miami.  So maybe I'll pick up that first Pitt game I missed.  I'm coming for you aske.  This is the year you are dethroned sir.

I'm glad there was an outright winner.  Because I was going to ask everyone what the tiebreaker would be.
