Found JK's bending of the knee and butt. This thread:


for future refrence, is womens ncaa hoop and womens north american pro soccer allowed in grand challange. as they are part of the MAJOR North american sports leauges
Good question.

With the rise in popularity and media coverage of both women's professional soccer and women's college basketball, let's include both sports in EOG's Grand Challenge.

Provided, of course, that Pinnacle is offering the games to its customers.
MLS was always available to EOG Grand Challenge contestants.

So why not NWSL?

Same for NCAA men's basketball.

So why not the women hoopsters?
Rules:

1. Contestant will post 30 plays in 30 days (one play per day) starting the first of the month.

2. Games must be played by month's end.

3. Major North American team sports only: NFL, CFL, NCAAF, NBA, WNBA, NCAAB, NHL, MLB, MLS and NWSL.

4. Full-game sides and totals -110 or LOWER.

5. Contestants are graded against Pinnacle numbers at the time of post.

6. Must hit 60% or better to be declared a winner of the $1,000 prize.

7. Cannot play a game more than once or both sides of the same game.

Birdies asked for NCAA beaverball, NCAA baseball, NSFWL beaver soccer. JK adds NCAA beaverball, NCAA baseball, NSFWL beaver soccer.

I bet Olympic tennis, basketball and soccer, you are disqualified DUDE!

Not only that, but if RailNazi asked to include tennis, said it would only be for one month, and if he won he would donate the money to charity, not only would JK allow it, but he would be effusive with his praise, he'd be posting non stop about what a great gesture it was, and how great a guy he was by playing for charity. "Very nice gesture by Birdie to play for a charity, that why he's one of EOG's good guys, I'll gladly allow tennis just this one time to accommodate Birdie."

I offer you a liferaft, JK. Take it.

Olympics added if it is a sport already included:

Basketball, hockey, baseball, soccer

Tennis still not allowed because not team sport but 1X exception this month since I'm playing for Kinky's favourite charity. You will honour $1000 prize should I win 18. I'm down 1-4. Free gesture.

Even though this is a reasonable compromise and really the right thing to do with the Olympics, JK will refuse. He is deeply mentally unwell. It's not about doing crossword puzzles. That's mental acuity. Mental illness is holding an intense, hidden hate for someone who has done nothing to you. JK will not accept the compromise because his diseased mind can't handle giving me an inch. So he can't add the Olympics unless of course Birdie bets it then it will not be because of me.

Dude, I already compromised.

I offered you another chance in EOG's Grand Challenge last month and you did not accept the invitation.

An invitation is still on the table for December.

I don't hate you because I don't hate anybody.

Zero hate in my heart and there's nothing you can do to change my outlook.

That's called a "good stubborn."

We are talking 2 weeks every 2 years with the Olympics and with winter, only hockey. JK says no, not gonna do it and Dell Dude can't make me and then starts screaming na na na na na like Birdie in Centerfold.

I nailed JK with checkmate. After everything it is clear the Olympics should be allowed for accepted sports but JK can't do it because it wold be giving me the win. Not the bogus challenge but rule change. He will make the change if Birdie plays that month and bets it.

I call him mentally ill and he brags about his crossword puzzle place prowess. Also a fucking idiot. That's mental acuity. The Unibomber was a genius and I would say most people agree he was mentally ill.

Just post that I have a valid point and the Olympics of major North American sports should be included since it's the same professional players. Not doing so deprives the poster of additional games to bet. He can't do it. It would kill him to admit I am right. Instead he offers me a fake month when he knows nothing but football and basketball is available. In his sick mind, this is a Kenny Battle between good (JK) and evil (Dell Dude).

This ends if you announce a rule change to add Olympics basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer. Can still cling to no tennis because arbitrary individual sport. Can still keep the satisfaction that you and Bobby (and Woodrow) screwed me last August. Or you will wait and discreetly choose Birdie the month that features the winter Olympics and wait until he bets Sweden then Abracadabra!

The only thing I disagree is DSI is a shit book. They deserve a shit contest, shit forum, shit moderator. They got all 3.

I wonder if JK's role has been reduced over at EOG. By reduced role I mean less $$$$$.

The main institutions of that site is probably the Daily BB thread and the monthly contest, it's kind of a big deal when the latter is turning into a joke.

Even still John laughs openly about it and encourages the "EOG Good Guy" rules, almost boasting about the obvious bias.

Clearly not a DSI fan but they deserve better. The contestants and the forum deserve better as well.

I ran a few contests at the RX, the thought process is you accommodate everyone when you accommodate no one.

You stick by the rules. If something is going to be changed you adjust after the current month is over, not midstream.

When you start changing the rules according to who is playing there is nothing funny about that......

Which leads me back to what I first posted - is his role being reduced over there?

A NW academic degree is grossly overrated but surely he knows the site is pretty much being branded now as a joke.

The contest is a staple of the site, hard to imagine he can laugh it off when he's still got a deep involvement in the process.

BTW I do think it's a pain in the ass....

And he's been doing that for YEARS! I can see if it's burnout.

It's painfully obvious the "rules" mean something different in response to who is playing.

When the biggest institution of the site is openly mocked and critiqued by that many people you know something is wrong.

Lot here don't like Kane but he is first guy to speak up or against something based on merit, at least his views of it....

Truth is though he is usually pretty much on point (if it has nothing to do with politics).

When this guy is telling you that this crap isn't fair you almost have to listen if you give a damn about either the site or the sponsor.

EOG is his home and he likes it there, LISTEN to what the fuck he is telling you.

Anyway, moving on.

I support you Dell, not because you're an E-friend but because I think you're right.

No, you haven't been Charley's Angel but you did deserve better than what you got.

And no one without bias can question the points you are making have some real merit.

Certain posters get rule changes at the drop of the hat, others can't get clarification on rules when playing.

It's like they are purposely rubbing it in your face now.

I'm out of the drama, moving on.
