And if you want to get all technical, the reason I didn't put picks in earlier was because some people here lack basic math skills. Last time I checked it was week 5, so having Round 4 doesn't really update anyone or make them aware that picks are due.

Just like not every rule has the same penalty, it should work the same when the rule is broken. So I was late, I get it, but there was only one play going off when picks were due. In the past, there would usually be 6+ games going off right at the deadline. So if someone puts there picks in 20 mins late with one game starting, it's a bit differerent than hours, a day, etc. So you're willing to apply a subjective opinion in certain situations but not all? Like I said I never attacked you personally, but rules based on subjectivity that aren't at all consistent it what causes this. The fact that I had to go through what I did, with the worst New Years experience ever was worse enough. But, I'm not popular so there aren't people in here defending me yet.

I don't believe my comments were out of line. I never attacked you personally. I'm not that kind of person. All I did was point out how ridiculous it is given the circumstances, and the fact that there's a clear double standard.

You set yourself up by admitting someone broke a rule and looking past it. Regardless of what rule was broken, it was broken.

I'll just say if this was anyone I would have absolutely no problem accepting the picks minus the first pick. If this was someone who people knew such as easygoer in week 1, there would be a discussion about how we should "just let him play." Boat, you said it yourself, he broke a rule, yet here you are stinking of hypocrisy, regardless of whether or not it provided an advantage. Congratulations though, most are excited that the front runner is out. Enjoy everyone.

You agree because I've been handing it to you since week 1.

Lol so you truly think taking the first game as a loss and putting the rest in gives me a what? A 20 minute line move advantage? Listen to yourself. When contemplating DQing him, you let other people chime in and give their opinions. Why can't people here? Because I don't have 300+ posts? Because I'm not buddy buddy with these people? It's a joke especially for someone in the top 2 since the first play went off. Don't worry though, next time I have a family member on the verge of death, I'll remember to put my picks in first.

How is that fair? Easygoer gets a free pass before it even started? If my age don't count, then I respect that, but then easygoers first week gets DQ'd as well. This is bush league. I was 20 minutes late for a family emergency. I wouldn't care, but I've been top 2 since week 1. I'm sorry, nothing against easygoer, but if there aren't exceptions for all, than there are exceptions for none. I was 20 mins late and I already knew who I wanted. I'm sorry that there are things higher on the priority list. Isn't this supposed to be for fun? It's not like people had to pay, it was a deposit you got to use anyways. Just saying, if my picks don't count, than easygoers first week shouldn't either.

I was wondering if I could please have my picks counted. I had an emergency to take care of since New Years. I would appreciate it if I could simply have the first game labeled a loser and the rest will count. I was only 20 minutes late putting them in. Thank you and let me know please.

Brady in the top 10 is pretty funny. QB's should not be judged by rings on a 50+ man roster. Everyone ignores the fact that when the Pats lost their top 5 defense, the rings stopped coming. Would that be because Brady had to start being the main component rather than the defense? I think Brady is a good QB, but I think he's one of the most over rated athletes of all time.

wow

I'm in a Survivor pool with a $10 buy in. The pot is $500 and I'm the only one who picked Natalie.

I don't understand why it's sides and totals in the same game. Not only is it much less fun, but I find it has a lot more to do with luck than anything. I just think it's really amateurish. Maybe reconsider not doing that from here on out. Just a suggestion

what's going on with the contest? start date? number of entrants? and just curious why it's 8 weeks long when we only make 15 picks? thanks

deposit had been made where do we sign up?
