NCAA FOOTBALL WEEK 7 PICK EM!

No excuses.

We've been through this before. Once you make a pick you can't go back and edit the post after the game starts.

Good luck to you, Tink. I hope you win it all.

The neighborhood has turned too sleazy for me. I'm moving out

 

See, you are so rigid with this thing that you won't even believe the boss of the board who says what time I made the pick! You are still taking this far too seriously.

Then you call it all "sleazy" -- what?

 

Bye

 

How the helll did PH do better than me when he copied my picks verbatim???????!!! Please explain.

 

Are you blonde by chance?

 

Nah. If you want to be the Mayor of Sleezecity knock yourself out. You wear the title well. Some of us have standards. On the field the refs call blocks in the back. You turn a blind eye on Pick 'Em. Fine. Swim in your own cesspool. I'm going to find some fresh water.

Good luck, Tink. And remember what your mom told you. You're no better than those who you choose to associate with.

 

You're going to leave because the BOSS of the board verified that I made a pick before the game? What is the big deal? Are you losing money?

I'm seriously worried about you. You are wound way too tight.

 

I just want the rules enforced, Buckwheat. That's all. I want a fair board. The rules say that you cannot edit a pick post after the start of the scheduled game time. You edited your pick post 1 hour and 35 minutes after the USC-UW game started. That's an automatic disqualification. There was no pressing reason to fix the grammar. You knew the rules. Whether the self-appointed Mayor saw it or not is irrelevant. You folks dirtied up the poli board and the moderators shut it down. Now you come over here and dirty up the sports board. Not on my time. Play in your own dirt. I opt out.

 

Go already!

 

Sorry, you can't blame the poli board on me. I only rarely posted there.

Yes, there was no pressing need to fix grammar, I did the edit in error, stupid me. When others saw the pick of Washington (and I bet you do, also), what's the big deal? Is the one W or L going to hurt me or you?

Sayonara.

 

I always thought that the 'Ol Dixie' people had higher moral principles and solid 'Good Book' values that were instilled into them as youngin's. Looks as if I was mistaken. Underhanded and indecent behavior crosses all geographic boundaries. Who says an old dog can't learn something new? Thanks for the education.

 

Once a rule is violated anecdotal claims made after the fact are irrelevant. The rule doesn't state that editing a pick after the start of a game is a violation resulting in disqualification UNLESS another player can vouch the original pick. So you're full of bullshit as usual. And you have no more credibility than any other player on this board. In fact, IMO you have less. You are a very weak leader. You don't even deserve to be a board leader. You cannot be trusted now and you turned the contest into a farce. The only way I would reconsider returning to the contest is if you overturn the ruling and disqualify Fucktard's Washington pick. Otherwise I have no respect for you and, in good conscience, could not participate in a contest with you calling the shots. So until that time you and the others can roll in your own feces. I want no part of it. I have standards. And IMO you have marred the reputation of 'Ol Dixie Land.

 

That was the fair thing to do even if it bends someone's nose out of shape. Pick 'Em is no different than a football game. If the offensive tackle holds the defensive end during a pass rush it results in a 10 yard loss EVEN IF THE OFFENSIVE TACKLE DID NOT HOLD THE DEFENSIVE END ON PURPOSE! If a Pick 'Em player edits a pick post AFTER the game has started - the pick is automatically disqualified. No excuses. And this rule applies to every single player. Fairness is not a concept that only applies when money is on the line. Fairness is a concept that should apply whenever we mortals engage in the spirit of competition. That is the American way.

So let's put Week #7 behind us and move into Week #8 with a clean contest for the rest of the season and no more vitriol among the players. That's my proposal.

Btw, I will post the new leaderboard tomorrow.

Thank you for doing the right thing, Bamaboy.

 

I agree with your post but I thought the rules were already in place with regard to editing pick posts.

But one recommendation. Some players might not have time to complete the entire pick post when a Thursday game appears on the list. I think players should be allowed to pick Thursday games in advance of completing their pick post for Saturday's games. Just my opinion.

And you're not being a 'hard ass', Bamaboy. You are being an effective moderator.

 

BamaBoy - I double checked your scoring. You made another mistake this week. You scored Pale @ 5-7 when he's actually 6-6. His correct picks include Iowa, Oregon St, Alabama, Stanford, Florida and So. Carolina.

Scoring picks is really not a difficult task. If you can't do it right - please assign that responsibility to someone else. If it happened once or even twice I would overlook it and not say a thing. But it's becoming a weekly occurrence. Much too much.

Once you make the change I will complete the leaderboard.
