CONTEST BEGINS IN WEEK 2 OF THE NFL SEASON

Each NFL week, contestants submit a team to LOSE.

If the team loses, the contestant advances to the following week.

If the team wins OR ties, the contestant is eliminated.

You can only pick each NFL team ONCE during the season.

Entries must be submitted prior to kickoff of the contestant's game.

In case of ties, prize money will be divided evenly among all winners at season's end.

Out of the woodwork they will come.

Guys that bash this place all over will check in, on their knees, mouth agape.

Agree, we should have a 100-post minimum, would take out WVU ghosts.

why the 1 week delay?


More contributors with a chance to enter after our technical difficulties last month.

As for interlopers, they have no chance against the EOG faithful..

Add "mouth agape" to my EOG glossary.

Rough visual.

People can't jump in after week 2 right? If they don't get a pick in for week 2 they can't get in the rest of the way right?

Right

..................and my guess is JK will post a thread each week for people to post plays - this will make finding/grading all picks easier to do

All the broke dikk moochers are lurking, waiting to jump in here inconspicuously as possible. Maybe throw a post here and there into another thread first so not as obvious.

should have a postup contest with 1000 added instead of free roll

I have a post up available to the sharps here if interested, as it is the 11th season, we have about 40 players already
and that will come close to doubling by sunday, I must warn you railbird, although you are great, most of these boys
are from wall street and are sharp as well. #ironsharpensiron

I will send out specifics later tonight when I am on the computer, and do my rough draft sunday baseball pre card.

Post minimums do not interest me, Try3.

Too many quality lurkers to not include them.

I'll keep a close eye on anyone trying to flood the entry box..

You should post a new thread every week so people can post in 1 area making it easier to see all plays. Let it known: Picks will only be counted in the official weekly thread........anything else is the same as not submitting a pick

Good idea, Winky.

This thread will serve as our Week 2 contest thread.

I'll start a new thread for Week 3 on Monday, September 17.
