Ty Bounce;10700175Saying bama would have covered anyway is an oppinion said:
TY, hey what's up buddy, for one I don't think I said it was fact but even the subs who are much better than that teams first stringers would have been too tough for that team. Also the way these nfl teams play and are coached anymore there might be several college teams that would give some of these nfl teams problems. I said what I said because bama played so poorly the week before that saban just had to have lit into the team and the backups most likely would have scored themselves one more time

I screwed up on my first set of picks and I redid them with the correct picks. Hopefully that's ok. Thanks

it's hard enough for me to find 6 games I like before Friday at 8:00 PM, and now two more games I do like were off the board when contest lines were posted. Seems like there's at least 1 per week

damn

I'm not complaining so don't take it this way but I see no reason why our plays can't be submitted one minute before kickoff of the first game each Saturday afternoon. I've never understood the Friday night deal. Who cares if the posters see other poster's plays or not?

I'm not complaining either, not about how the contest is being run, I be just bitching about some circumstances that can't be avoided

as for the timing Enfuego my friend, it is consistent with how the LVH capping contest is run in Vegas, so I'm OK with that. Administratively, you'd have to start worrying about the time stamp of each play and such. I think their job gets harder, I can't ask anyone to do more then they're already doing.

Well if u could see other posters picks that could cause problems late in year whoever is in first could just copy 2'd place picks so no change.
I'm not trying to be rude either but I'm sick of all the time limit complaints. The rules were explicitly stated when we signed up. I'm not happy with the deadline working midnights this week but it is what it is

Yeah, I hear ya. What some places do is have the contenders at the end of the year email or PM their plays in not post them.

I know Willie and JOH does a great job and this is hard work. My only point is it doesn't have to be consistent with the LVH contest. Plenty of contests out there that allow you to post your plays by 11:59 A.M. Saturday morning and it doesn't impact anything.

I have done nfl contest on the rx for the past 3 years and its basically a thread of whining about the rules for 17 weeks straight. For me its one of the highlights of my gambling year and think it is run very fairly. Everything is in black and white, updates frequent and the job the organizers do is second to none. One of these years I'm afraid they will just say fuck it do to all of the whining and bitching that goes on. The contest is setup to mirror the Hilton contest, the biggest, most successful NFL handicapping contest on earth...if you don't like the setup or rules its very simple...dont play

I've never understood how a guy is supposed to voice an opinion on a topic without being called a whiner. Can someone enlighten me?

I think this contest is great and a lot of fun. JOH and Betall are simply great in running it from start to finish. I just wish the deadline was Saturday at 11:59 A.M. No reason not to have it at that time.

Will the current deadline keep me from signing up? No way, it's too much fun.

And this is the only time in the three years I've done this I've ever said a word about this contest. People have opinions Tanner. Don't worry about them voicing those opinions. That's what forums are about dude.

IMO, the contests are run very fair & with plenty of time to get the picks in..........no way should the picks be changed to be put in on game day.

The night before is awesome & if my memory serves me, they added an extra 3 hours to the time limit......use to be 5pm & is now 8pm.

You should probably run your own pool next year (or even the remainder of this year). Maybe a lot of people agree with you and will do your pool.

If not, then we should probably just play by the rules of the contest that we signed up for without causing too much grief to the guys who are nice enough to do all the work.

Uh, no fucking shit and that's what I said. I'm not giving anyone grief. It's amazing how a guy can give an opinion in a professional matter almost as feedback not an opinion and a bunch of guys call you names and tell you to stop complaining.

I'm not complaining. Just voicing an opinion is all.
