Penultimate is objectively a better word than ultimate. Whatever.</p><p>We did it, you guys. We reached Pick'em Dash Football's ultimate challenge (I know but stick with me anyway. You are likely still going to want to participate).</p><p>Post-season contests are spreadsheet contests!!1! You'll get 200 points on the house and 1 to 35 points based on the random bonus points you've been collecting. </p>Some key reminders:<div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Pick all 6 games on the card.</li><li>You must wager at least 15 points on each game.</li><li>You DO NOT need to use all your points.</li><li>Submit your picks for the entire weekend prior to the first kickoff on Saturday. The only requirement is that I have your pick before a kickoff, but it makes sharing the scoreboard easier.</li><li>Forgetting to pick only costs you 15 points per game.</li><li>Every correct pick pays back what you wagered, and points carry over each week.</li></ul>As we head into these final games, may the best strategist emerge victorious. Good luck and enjoy the playoff excitement and stuff!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>SirRonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11964233394272915511noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961331653556337432.post-6783147513377214872023-12-16T17:38:00.031-06:002024-01-01T23:51:09.551-06:00P-F23: Bowl Challenge Scoreboard<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>It was Scenario #3 y'all... scroll down to see how we finished!

In the mystical land of spreadsheets and pixelated pigskins, our choices become the magical spells that weave the tapestry of our gridiron destiny.</p><p>Behold the sacred oracle, Microsoft Excel, our chariot through the realms of numbers and cells. Mastering its arcane powers is like wielding the Excalibur of decision-making, ensuring you ride the majestic wave of victory. Why, you ask? For within the hallowed halls of Pick’em Dash Football, we face the annual gauntlet – a test of wit and wisdom designed by the upper management wizards.</p><p>You've honed your skills with Google's magic scrolls, marking your best bets like a wizard discerning the most potent potions. Now, as we stand at the precipice of the NCAA Bowl Contest, your confidence is your wand. Remember, dear sorcerer, all bowl picks are straight up – a duel of champions, winner takes all.</p><p>Trust your gut, and with the ferocity of a dragon, place 41 points on the Miami Redhawks in the Avocados From Mexico Cure Bowl. Then, repeat this arcane ritual 40 more times.</p><p>So, oh seekers of football fortune, prepare to dance under the moonlight of innovation. A new championship game rule shall be your guiding star, leading you through uncharted territories and unexplored strategies. Embrace the unknown, for within its mysterious folds lie the keys to unprecedented triumphs.</p><p>For the top three bowl pickers, they shall don their wizard robes once more and pick the championship game against the spread. Think medieval NASCAR-type playoff. Hold nothing in reserve and -- oh wielders of the magic wands -- more shall be revealed later.</p><p>The being that emerges with the most points shall be crowned the undisputed champion; no second-place sorcerers in this mystical arena. Be bold, be daring, let your confidence soar like a phoenix, slicing through the challenges with the precision of a ginsu knife.</p><p>P.S. Return this enchanted card before the hourglass empties on Saturday, 12/16, at 10:00 AM CT. Participation is the elixir of victory, and latecomers shall face penalties of the highest confidence points. Don't dally until Saturday morn – the wizards frown upon such tardiness!</p><p>P.P.S. Behold 'The Drill': Unleash your wizardry upon the attached card, in the sacred format of Excel. Select your team name from the mystical drop-down list, make your picks, and assign confidence numbers from 1 to 41. For the playoffs, do not hoard the bonus points. You cannot take them with you. Confirm the totals read '0' at the end – a final incantation of success. Email me your magical creation before the appointed hour on December 16th, 10:00 AM Central, at commish@pickem-football.com.</p><br /></div></div></div>SirRonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11964233394272915511noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961331653556337432.post-83055782450047283032023-09-06T17:53:00.007-05:002023-09-06T17:54:30.602-05:00P-F23: Card and Scoreboard Links for the Year<span style="font-size: large;">These will be updated throughout the year.

However instead of a four-part solution to making the best choices, she took me through an adventure down a well cleared path in a dense and mysterious forest. Almost immediately after embarking -- like after the first few trees on the edge of this dense forest -- a fork appeared. And just as it is always written, one path was well-trodden, bathed in warm sunlight, and adorned with vibrant flowers. The other path was -- and remember folks, I’m only a step inside the woods, and like, maybe just through some brush -- the other path was shrouded in shadows, with its twists and turns obscured by thick undergrowth.</p><p>We have all been here before. Am I right? Which one is the path least taken? Which is the one that leads into darkness, uncertainty, and potential danger? That is obviously the bad one. Without hesitation, you take the well-trodden path. It is the one bathed in warm sunlight and adorned with vibrant flowers every day and twice on Sundays. Let us remember that the choices we make not only reveal our character but also literally influence the path we tread and the outcomes we encounter. That sunny path sucked. It had no water or restrooms along the path. 0 stars. But here’s what I learned.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">The Power of Mindful Decision-Making</h3><p>Dear friends, imagine if our choices were like seeds we plant in the garden of our lives -- each seed, when sown thoughtfully, has the potential to grow into a beautiful and fruitful reality. In the context of decision-making, mindfulness invites us to pause, reflect, and truly comprehend the options before us. In the fast-paced game of football, it's easy to get swept away by the rushing running backs of life. We like backup quarterbacks in haste, and our decisions are driven by external wagers or fanatical emotions. But let's remember, hasty decisions often yield shallow results. Remember that 0-star dense forest trip? You get me.</p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: #38761d;">Pick’em Dash Football is like a garden, a garden less traveled -commish</span></i></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Embracing Responsibility and Accountability</h3><p></p><p>Just as a coach takes responsibility to chart a gameplan, we too must call the plays of life with a sense of duty and ownership to our own win-loss record. And you guys, we’ve been taking a lot of L’s lately. Our choices, like pebbles dropped into a pond of forks in roads, create ripples. Lots of turbulent ripples actually. Put another way, at first you just got out Whataburgered, and next thing you know your choices are affecting the ones around you. It is essential to recognize the weight of your ripple making.<br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: #38761d;">Make a splash -commish</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Are you questioning things? Good. Are you lost?

I meant accountability is a pathway to mindful blah blah you get it. Just as a seed buried in the earth transforms into a mighty tree, playing Pickem Dash Football, joining the journey to improving our choices, and creating a stronger connection to the 2023 football season can lead to a life rich with the best outcomes.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Navigating Challenges and Adversities</h3><p></p><span style="color: #38761d;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i>If you don’t see the connection, you just haven’t looked close enough -commish</i></div></span><br />Just as weightlifting strengthens our physical bodies, picking football games strengthens our mental resilience.

Continuous advancement can enable you to protect your most valuable asset: Your choices.</div><div><br />One medium used to make choices is Microsoft Excel. Whether you use it to track your expenses or to create a Tetris close, proficiency in Excel will make you more talented and keep you ahead of the pack. What does Excel have to do with Pickem Dash Fooball? Upper management provides you with one test per year to allow you all to climb to the top yourselves. Let’s take a deeper look at this annual training.<br /><br />You’ve been using Google’s tools to practice your picks. We even practiced marking your best bets, the pick in which you were most confident. With the NCAA Bowl Contest, your confidence is key. Remember, all bowl picks (except the playoff games) are straight up -- you are picking winners.<br /><br />Just trust your gut. Put 39 points on the Miami Redhawks in the Hometown Lenders Bahamas Bowl. Then, do that same thing 38 more times.<br /> <br />For the 2 playoff games, you'll be picking against the spread, and the points you'll assign are based on your NCAA Contest bonus points. Place at least 3 points on each game and reserve some or use it all. Any remaining points (and whatever you've won from the playoff games) will be available for the NCAA Championship game.<br /><br />The card that finishes with the most points wins. This contest has no 2nd place winner.<br /><br />When you pick confident enough, you will become like the ginsu knife in the utensil drawer of life. The more you exercise your confidence muscle and allow it to work for you, the more you’ll cut up this world with your talents. Confidently exercise that confidence muscle 39+3 times, and you may just get a slice of the Pick’em pie too.<br /><br /></div></div>SirRonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11964233394272915511noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961331653556337432.post-1436439824978780082022-12-05T16:35:00.004-06:002022-12-07T14:46:58.019-06:00P-F22 Week 14 NCAA Bonus: Parting Shots<div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj5AV5Ia-sZw7SdaAQBkJj9Du2gv8F_PLLLtkMWH8-P1a7mZ3DWOzOZVG6ngWFKFroSq3xjCZHpurf1-9UfUgGgDcAzDL2Khfd5jIyCGp9E-xx3znhk7dLMeyTo0p74FmY-PiFvQtN8NpjqsgcH2ABjIKGH44ej1Xh5pt0bXr50MZ-bYwxezVLgAABtQ/s847/Parting_Shot_VII.PNG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="847" height="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj5AV5Ia-sZw7SdaAQBkJj9Du2gv8F_PLLLtkMWH8-P1a7mZ3DWOzOZVG6ngWFKFroSq3xjCZHpurf1-9UfUgGgDcAzDL2Khfd5jIyCGp9E-xx3znhk7dLMeyTo0p74FmY-PiFvQtN8NpjqsgcH2ABjIKGH44ej1Xh5pt0bXr50MZ-bYwxezVLgAABtQ/s320/Parting_Shot_VII.PNG" width="320" /></a></div>Parting shots have been around as long as endings, I think.

While one stands in the capital city or Hill Country in general, it is challenging to put a finger on the source and intensity of this sucking from the North. Most of all, most Texans simply have no reason to make the dusty journey north of the Red River to discover the suck source. You may also be wondering where the burden of sucking discovery lies. I'll tell you that OU knows where to come to clear their eyes, find great football players, and get a taste of the finer things. They also hate Texas’ guts in a way that can’t be reciprocated from anyone surrounded by dozens of things just as fun as obsessing over teenagers experiencing their first 4 to 5 years away from home. That’s hella fun, but I have other shirts too. Could Texas ever suck as much as OU? Of course, I suppose it is plausible. For instance, check out College Station, TX for a cool cowboy cosplaying location that does their best to suck, but I think we can all agree Aggies are really more adorable than sucky. +4</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigjtkBAp3NbeBGz4vhKLF0-QGqxiWMOpKv3W-M7T4YE-SUXyV0NgMCGQGmw6QH3NMC4bGqTpF6pQApu0GMtjQAI2w7oshpeLO4nFNxZmK6s_uCakm83x2keviBUTIHvRLJmIktN_In7sh9sGmy7f2hEjOvjDYBHbwUQ-tULIFvfHKgqBo5ZD_4OvwhBA/s1200/ou-face-of-programjpg.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1200" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigjtkBAp3NbeBGz4vhKLF0-QGqxiWMOpKv3W-M7T4YE-SUXyV0NgMCGQGmw6QH3NMC4bGqTpF6pQApu0GMtjQAI2w7oshpeLO4nFNxZmK6s_uCakm83x2keviBUTIHvRLJmIktN_In7sh9sGmy7f2hEjOvjDYBHbwUQ-tULIFvfHKgqBo5ZD_4OvwhBA/s320/ou-face-of-programjpg.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><b><br />accidentchild (MN)</b>: How much are you enjoying OU’s season?</p><p><b>Commish</b>: I don’t have to live with or work around many sooners.

Do conferences (more or less) make football (more or less) better? In our current connected world with steaming television, social media, and pick’em leagues communicating over emails and blogs, I’d say conferences aren’t that important. When you combine the memories of the SWC and the Big 8, you saw we got a new conference that meant less to those members and nothing to almost anywhere else. And sometimes your parents make you play with the weird kid too, and he grows up with the confidence to murder, rape, and shiplap his people. What now? Texas and Oklahoma made the same decision a dozen schools did before them, but I’d argue neither of those schools cares much about the destination, as long as it isn’t another conference graveyard. <div><br /></div><div>Whether you’ve convinced yourself yet or not, continuing the traditional conference model works against the natural order of solidarity and sporting merit. How about instead of political and regional directives we just let the SEC start as our premier college football league and then we all just play to get promoted, while the SEC’s existing teams play to not get relegated into any number of lower groupings with Big or Power or ‘Merican in their names? </div><div><br /></div><div>Most of you agreed.

Let’s parse out some good. Everyone gets
POSITIVE bonus scores!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(One thing though. I forgot to add “in the NFL” to my bonus
question, but maybe you guys behaved yourselves)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A Northmen (AN): “Brittney's dad will no longer be her
conservator! #freebritney” <span style="color: #00b050;">She went on with a bunch
of crap about TSwift, but I’ll spare you. On Brit, of course, she should have
the right the fk up her life. That’s great news! +4</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">T-Horns (AM): “Matt Jones developing earlier than expected.”
<span style="color: #00b050;">Wait, are we talking about <u>Mac </u>Jones? +2?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Astros! (AP): “OU/Texas coming to the SEC!” <span style="color: #00b050;">This is great news. See what happened is Texas got in
OU’s head, then Texas “Trojan Horsed” their themselves in the SEC, where Texas
will then ruin the SEC from the inside. +3</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Buddy the Chimp (BC): “Bananas.” <span style="color: #00b050;">Buddy,
you get bananas all the time. Dream bigger. +3</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cornholio's Bunghole (BO): “Just destroying America is not
enough for Joe Biden, so he destroyed Afghanistan. I wonder what country will
be next?” <span style="color: #00b050;">Russia will destroy Biden before he gets
too much credit for American chaos. +2</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Beelzebubbles (CC): “The
William Shatner ride to the edge of space of course!!!!!” <span style="color: #00b050;">I love this answer. +4</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">18 National Championships (CG): “That Roger Goodell
continues to be a solid little bitch in having his minions comb through all NFL
staff emails. I wonder what his inbox would turn up. FK you Roger, signed all
Saints fans.” <span style="color: #00b050;">This is the best news for Saints
fans, apparently. +4</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Riggsmtb713 (CR): “Trump 2024.” <span style="color: #00b050;">But
wouldn’t the best development be who is chosen for VP? +2</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Swamp Dogs (DR): “Urban Meyer being lapdanced was pretty
fun.” <span style="color: #00b050;">I’d never sympathized with Meyer until that
moment. +3</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bevo XV (DW): “Urban Meyer's lap dance.” <span style="color: #00b050;">Seems like it’s been since the last answer that I sympathized
with Meyer. +3</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Left Hand Scissors (GN): “It looks like we are just about
done canceling people.” <span style="color: #00b050;">j/k lol +3</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Shake and Baker (JN): “Brandon.” <span style="color: #00b050;">If
you think I disagree, then I disagree with you. +3</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bourbon Barristers (KH): “Manning cast!” <span style="color: #00b050;">This is may not be the only best answer, but it’s the
only correct answer. +5</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Variants are for beer (KS): “The current pickem scoreboard.”
<span style="color: #00b050;">We’ll love you if you are losing too. +3</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Huntwick Hosers (KW): “Jerry Jones has been oddly quiet, I
wonder if his new TV deal says that he has to keep a lower profile.” <span style="color: #00b050;">Which one of those is the lesser of evils? +2</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Accidentchild (MN): “Diggs.” <span style="color: #00b050;">He’s
been amazing. +4<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Masks [ON]/OFF (RH): “Finally, an attempt to ease the
backlogs at shipping ports was announced this morning. Fingers crossed.” <span style="color: #00b050;">We
could ease the backlog if we created some sort of “support the dock workers”
campaign. +3</span><o:p></o:p></p>SirRonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11964233394272915511noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961331653556337432.post-59548895825958428272021-10-13T11:43:00.000-05:002021-10-13T11:43:28.297-05:00P-F21: Week 6 NCAA Bonus - Positivity Leaders <p>Many times you can’t control what happens to you, but you
can always control your reaction to what’s happening. Everybody, even Alabama
fans, deals with setbacks. How do wrap your head around a place like College
Station? The answer is a positive attitude.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I struggle with depression nearly every year in mid-October,
but I’ve learned to look at the better side of these events. Someone on the
internet may say a positive attitude will cure disease. If it can do that, then
it can no doubt lead to better picks. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This was your goal this week, and we practiced on the
universally loved but historically disappointed Longhorns and Sooners. Are the
Longhorns hurting inside? Secretly. The Sooners? If money can’t buy you love,
then do you think wins can? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is hate week for Sooners and Longhorns. Since all the
fans will be filled with hate, say something nice to one or both of the fan
bases.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2>Positive Leadership<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">A Northmen (AN) – “Thank you for putting the horns down, it
means you hate us more than you love yourself. What an amazing compliment. Have
a nice day hater. :-)” <span style="color: #38761d;">Alright alright alright. That’s positive. +4</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Astros! (AP) – “On the bright side, one of you will win
today!” <span style="color: #38761d;">While not negative, this is minimal positivity effort here. +1</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cornholio's Bunghole (BO) – “I've never been so happy to be
from AZ.” <span style="color: #38761d;">It’s always sunny in Arizona? +2</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">18 National Championships (CG) – “We welcome you to the SEC
and look forward to both sending A&M further into the dark ages of
football.”<span style="color: #38761d;"> If I know Texas, the Longhorns will slide into the SEC on the DL. You
may not even notice. +3</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Middle-aged Hot (CK) – “Longhorns: You are smarter and
prettier. Sooners: Norman is better than College Station.” <span style="color: #38761d;">My favorite totally unbiased
answer. +5</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Swamp Dogs (DR) – “Bevo seems like a nice fellow.” <span style="color: #38761d;">He’s been
working hard at media training. +3</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bevo XV (DW) – “Your commitment to hate is impeccable.” <span style="color: #38761d;">Ok,
a compliment. +3</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Left Hand Scissors (GN) – “No matter what they are dealing
with all year living in Oklahoma, they still get excited about coming to Texas
each year. I can't same the same for Texas fans. Baker Mayfield is also the
man.” <span style="color: #38761d;">+3</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bourbon Barristers (KH) – “I <span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">❤</span>️ Lincoln Riley.”<span style="color: #38761d;"> I do too. I hope
he gets promoted. +3</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Huntwick Hosers (KW) – “Bless your hearts.”<span style="color: #38761d;"> #blessed +3</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bite a Kneecap Offs (RK) – “The property felons’ offense
does a great job of getting away with holding every play.” <span style="color: #38761d;">They absolutely do.
And good for them. +4 </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<h2>Struggling to be positive<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">Beelzebubbles (CC) – “nope.” <span style="color: #38761d;">That’s not positive. +1</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">T-Horns (AM) – “Can't spell Douche without OU.” <span style="color: #38761d;">While true,
I think I see what you did there. +2</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Buddy the Chimp (BC) – “Please don't fling poop at each
other.” <span style="color: #38761d;">Buddy, flinging poop is a bad habit. +2</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Riggsmtb713 (CR) – “Gig Em Aggies.” <span style="color: #38761d;">Gigging is something
that isn’t positive for frogs and wasn’t something positive for ‘bama this past
weekend. +1</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Shake and Baker (JN) – “Beef is my favorite food.” <span style="color: #38761d;">More
tasty than tiny horse. +3</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<h2>That’s not nice<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"> [ON]/OFF (RH) – “OK...OK...I'll
stop saying Choklahoma!” <span style="color: #38761d;">I do wish you said it more in October, but that’s not
either of us being positive. +2</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Accidentchild (MN) – “Texas - Hook'em! OU - Go f*ck yourselves!”<span style="color: #38761d;"> I get it, but I don’t
think you understood the exercise. +2</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Variants are for beer (KS) – “Fuck both of y’all but at
least you will be in actual conference soon.” <span style="color: #38761d;">SEC is positive that they are the
best conference. +2</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Need further proof, authorities in Vegas were only correct on 26.67% of picks affecting our league.</p><p>But there is hope. Astronaut Jeff Bezos is rumored to be developing a vaccine that, during phase one testing, is improving picks in adult humans and chimps to 40+%. As an added benefit, Bezos is including a proprietary and permanent gene-modified signature that will apply Prime Savings to everything you purchase.</p><p>Given the proven weakness of our collective picks and the inability to trust Vegas authorities, will irrationality and cynicism rooted in our trust of numbers keep us from getting jabbed en masse? We asked around the league to find out.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">PRIME NOW</h3><p>Some were clearly exited. We found <b>A Northmen (ANo)</b> camped outside the Amazon clinic with an “In Prime We Trust!” tshirt <b>(2)</b>. Rabid football fan <b>Astros! (AP)</b> and <b>Swamp Dogs (DR)</b> both yelled from their clinic tailgate, “We already pick less than 40% ATS and Prime is icing on top! Hell yeah whooo” <b>(3)</b>. </p><p>In between shots, and seemingly at several pre-clinic tailgates, <b>Bevo XV (DW)</b> yelled “I would jump out of an airplane with no parachute for Prime Savings. Yassssss!” <b>(3)</b>. This triggered a 2-minute call and response of “YASSSSS” with another patron calling himself the <b>Bourbon Barrister (KH)</b> <b>(2)</b>. We would have had some riveting video of the exchange, if not for a pet chimp named <b>Buddy the Chimp (BC)</b> out there playing a game of fling the poo on the Bezos poster <b>(4)</b>.</p><p>It became clear that much of the crowd at the clinic didn’t seem to care about their bad choices at all. For many, it is was all about Prime. <b>Beelzebubbles (CC)</b> said, “you had me at savings” <b>(2)</b>. <b>Huntwick Hosers (KW)</b> knows about that savings, “With the affordability of Pick ‘Em think about how many 10s of dollars I would save every year!” <b>(4)</b>.</p><p>For others, Bezos' vaccine was just another way to game the system. When asked if he'd be getting the shot, <b>Bite a Kneecap Offs (RK)</b> said "Absolutely -- I'd use the 60% winnings to buy Grays Sports Almanac at a 10% discount." That's solid maths right there <b>(3)</b>.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">PRIME HESITANT</h3><p>In a world where bad decisions are a badge of honor and history has taught us to distrust the leadership of the top 1%, it isn’t surprising that not everyone was drinking Bezos’ kool-aid. “Nope,” <b>Riggsmtb713 (CR)</b> succinctly stated <b>(1)</b>. Wearing his shirt pulled half over his head, “Hell no. Bezos is the Devil!” <b>(2)</b> snarled <b>Cornholio’s Bunghole (BO)</b>. </p><p>Reluctance can sometimes be rationalized empirically. “I utilize a healthy organic natural approach to picking against the spread. No vaccine needed” <b>(4)</b>. <b>Shake and Baker (JN)</b> is currently picking exactly at the guaranteed vaccine performance level, although he would have been immune to the bad decisions he made in Week 1 with Bezos’ new vaccine. His Prime status is unknown at the time of this report. <b>Masks [ON]/OFF (RH)</b>, wearing a shirt that said “Fuck it, Mask Off” knows the place of masks, respects Prime, and has danced with technology billionaires before. On whether he’d be attending the clinic, he responded “Nah. May be too risky with my chip implant. Wife has the Prime Savings covered” <b>(5)</b>.</p><div><br /></div>SirRonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11964233394272915511noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961331653556337432.post-62424076675447232552021-08-16T13:00:00.002-05:002021-08-17T09:10:03.048-05:00P-F21: Dear Future Self, These 21 Thoughts Are Why You Are Glad You Read the Official Pick'em Dash Football ’21 Annual Recruitment Post<p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">1</span></b></p><p style="text-align: left;">I once watched this planetarium show on dark matter. I’m familiar with matter. I’m not saying current or future me could define it, but it is like -- stuff. However dark matter isn’t the dark stuff. Dark matter is like all the other stuff that we aren’t familiar with, and on top of that, apparently the universe contains an unknown amount of matter that we cannot observe!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;">Speaking of matter, small wins matter.

Welcome to the third biennial Pick’em Dash Football Ask Me Anything. You asked me anything, and now I’m answering. Wonder how it went?

Trick question. You didn’t say which train’s engineer! The engineer on the first train is a White Sox fan. He lives with his mother and has a bit of a short fuse. Before the train left, he had two Vienna hot dogs and got relish on his shirt. This gave him an excuse to buy a polo shirt from the store nearby before heading to his train. It was black. The second engineer is a tattoo enthusiast, and like many multi-tattoo'd folk he likes to show them off. Everyone knows his uniform of choice is a dark gray long-sleeve button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up.</span><p></p><p><span style="color: #38761d;">2020 Football Season Won’t Last (AP): If there's a Super Bowl this season, who plays in it and who wins?</span></p><p><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Now -- if I know who would play and win then we wouldn’t be playing this game here.

I was ignorant of any racist association of the song for most of my life, and I suspect 99% of everyone else was too. If we can’t sing anymore, then I’ll be fine. I always preferred the “make ‘em eat shit” alternate lyrics to Texas fight, which is way less divisive and something we call all get behind. Otherwise, I vote for the <a href="https://youtu.be/VWoIpDVkOH0" target="_blank">Mo Bamba song</a> to replace Eyes of Texas.</span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d;">Cornholio’s Bunghole (BO): Do you wear a mask while driving alone in your car?</span></p><p><span style="color: blue;">Commish: No. Why?</span></p><p><span><span style="color: #38761d;">Damn Covid (DR): Corn dogs - mustard, ketchup, nothing?</span></span></p><p><span style="color: blue;"></span></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UXayHgBa-zs/X783e_CmriI/AAAAAAABiC8/GJJRnr6ICoIPUuWoDc7ak70TXt306pUbQCLcBGAsYHQ/s512/cornydogs.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="354" data-original-width="512" height="138" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UXayHgBa-zs/X783e_CmriI/AAAAAAABiC8/GJJRnr6ICoIPUuWoDc7ak70TXt306pUbQCLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h138/cornydogs.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Don't do it like this!<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Ketchup only is just too cloying. The absolute best way to eat a corn dog is to get a ketchup and mustard pile going. Put them adjacent to each other, but don’t be a monster and mix the two. Do a quick dip of the corndog tip in the ketchup and take a nibble of the tip -- just big enough to expose the weenie. Then dip the corn dog in the mustard, tilt 45 degrees, then spin the corn dog through the ketchup to get it around the rim without losing the mustard from your initial dip. Take a deeper bite than your first one, then and keep plowing down to corndog using the same dipping method. When the stick makes it difficult to either dip or put in your mouth, push the corndog up the stick. For your last bite, be sure to only have mustard (or at least have a significant amount more of mustard than ketchup). You don’t want something that sweet for your last bite.</span><p></p><p><span style="color: #38761d;">A Northmen (ANo): What’s for dinner?</span></p><p><span style="color: blue;">Commish: All I know is that it hopefully is in the fridge or pantry.

Amanda and <br />I discovered this beer many years before we were craft enthusiasts, homebrewers, or brewery investors. Back when Food Network actually taught you how to cook, there was a follow-that-food-type show where someone said it was their favorite beer. We weren't that familiar with Belgian beers at the time, but even after hundreds of Belgian-style beers, Delirium Tremens is still the one I almost always have in the fridge. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delirium_tremens" target="_blank">The origin of the name is great too</a>.</i></span></blockquote><p><span style="color: blue;">What has changed since I wrote that two years ago is that they package Delirium in tall boys now. 100 times better than sliced bread.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #38761d;">Fire Quinntricia (RK): Dan's or Fran's?</span></p><p><span style="color: blue;">Commish: I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t been to either.

Or is it something that’s no big deal, maybe even fake, that humanity should openly flaunt and actively ignore? Those are your ONLY choices - common sensical and moderate answers will be disqualified.</span></p><p><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Two things here. YOU don’t get to make the rules of the AMA, and this is what is wrong with the internet. Life isn’t binary, you guys! However, the right answer here is the former. If everyone lives alone and underground, the virus wouldn’t spread. After years, healthy, horny people would emerge and create a sort of Earth 2. Everything would either be terrible or the best, and I’m 1000% sure it will be the latter.</span></p><p><span style="color: #38761d;">Beelzebubbles (CC): Do these picks make me look fat?</span></p><p><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Don’t pick after midnight.</span></p><p><span style="color: blue;">That’s it, folks.

(Week 15 NCAA Bonus)What did you regret with the passing of the regular season? I’m here to care for you as we move on to the after-season, and I will provide you comfort for each of your regrets.<br />
<br />
Huntwick Hosers (KW): “I regret that I picked so poorly.” <span style="color: #38761d;">– <b>But hopefully your picks were as rich in spirits as mine were.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b><br /></b></span>
The Texans don’t need a GM (CK): “I regret believing the Horns’ hype. Again.”<br />
Accidentchild (MN): “I regret picking Texas too much.” <b><span style="color: #38761d;">– Texas covered against Oklahoma, and every real fan knows covering against your rival is all that matters.</span></b><br />
<br />
Cornholio's Bunghole (BO): “Duh... I regret that I didn't win one week!!”<br />
Cockypantherfan (SZ): “I regret not winning.” <b><span style="color: #38761d;">– Some will tell you that winning isn’t everything. A millennial may tell you that we are all winners. It means most to me that you wanted to win.</span></b><br />
<br />
17 National Championships (CG)” “No regrets bro!!!” <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>– Yeah!</b></span><br />
I Look Good On Top (BF): “No regrets....ever.” <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>– YEAH!</b></span><br />
Commodore Nation (KH): “No regerts!” <b><span style="color: #38761d;">– YYE oohh, oh no.</span></b><br />
<br />
Lost Cause (JH): “I regret my mustache from 25 years ago.” <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>– Literally no one except you regrets that mustache.</b></span><br />
<br />
Beelzebubbles (CC): “I regret that I went out of town to NFL games and missed my picks.” <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>– If only there was a way to submit your picks from a high tech wireless pocket machine.</b></span><br />
<br />
A Northmen (ANo): “I regret that I didn't pick more correct answers!” <b><span style="color: #38761d;">– I know.</span></b><br />
Gigem! (AP): “I wish I would have picked better against the spread.” <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>– I KNOW!</b></span><br />
SoonerTheBetter (BL): “I regret not paying for a service.” <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>– No, don’t do that. Do you people do that?</b></span><br />
<br />
Shake and Baker (JN): “I regret listening to Lee Corso for pick advice.” <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>– I know you are probably looking to me for some great advice here, but this is really on you. Side note, are we sure that Corso isn’t some sort of Weekend At Bernie’s situation at this point?</b></span><br />
<br />
Big Papa (AM): “I regret not betting enough.” <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>– Bet big to win big -- is a can’t lose strategy.</b></span><br />
<br />
Bevo XV (DW): “I regret More Cowbell.” <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>– Never enough cowbell</b></span><br />
<br />
BlitzKrieg (RK): “I regret not going opposite picks.” <b><span style="color: #38761d;">– Protip from someone that has been there: Thinking about opposite picks is the gateway drug to a life of regrets. The hardest thing in life is making consistently very good or consistently very bad choices. Both of these types of people are special. The opposite of mediocre is still mediocre though.</span></b><br />
<br />
Gary 'wii mis yu' Francis (RH): “I regret that I didn't get my Week 11 picks in.” <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>– Like they always say, you will always regret the picks you do not make.</b></span><br />
<br />
Too much pressure to come up with a name quickly (KS): “I was hoping to not pick a game incorrectly all season.” <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>– Is perfect really quantifiable? Nobody really knows.</b></span><br />
<br />
Dirt Burglars (DT): “I regret that I can't get back the 10 min that I spent answering all of these bonus questions.” <b><span style="color: #38761d;">– I regret that I didn’t specify that negative points were possible for this bonus.</span></b><br />
<br />
Left Hand Scissors (GN): “I regret not having more open-ended bonus questions.” <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>– And the many tens of minutes spent organizing the answers.</b></span><br />
<br />
Swampdogs (DR): “I regret that teams still punt on fourth down instead of going for it every time.”<span style="color: #38761d;"><b> – #neverpunt</b></span><br />

<br />
"How crappy is he?" you say.<br />
<br />
I'm glad you asked.<br />
<br />
Ok look. Kyler isn't actually crappy. Most of us would trade places, and we'd be doing a way sh!ttier Kyler than Kyler is doing. But just like we've always viewed sports, and how the Internet has quickly devolved: Everything is either the worst or the best.<br />
<br />
Kyler is rich, talented, and people genuinely love him. However for a brief moment in P-F NFL Week 7, we will take a look at just how crappy Kyler Murray is. Just remember to keep your head up Kyler, there are tons of footprints in your sand.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Like, literally crappy: <span style="color: #38761d;">(+4)</span></h4>
Gigem! (AP): He's a little shitty <span style="color: #38761d;">>> It's like you are afraid of commitment</span><br />
Cornholio's Bunghole (BO): Crappier than a newborn's diaper. <span style="color: #38761d;">>> also, little shits</span><br />
Cockypantherfan (SZ): So crappy he leaves shit stains in his underwear <span style="color: #38761d;">>> yeah butt who doesn't</span><br />
General Wartz (JM): Pretty stinky <span style="color: #38761d;">>> like yesterday's diapers</span><br />
Left Hand Scissors (GN): Diaper Genie <span style="color: #38761d;">>> when the wife leaves town and you wonder how full the thing can get</span><br />
17 National Championships (CG): Next level crap, like hot garbage... <span style="color: #38761d;">>> I've had some next-level craps after a night a bingeing.</span><br />
Dirt Burglars (DT): Probably once a day, twice a day when he eats from the Mexican food trucks. <span style="color: #38761d;">>> I see what you did there</span><br />
Huntwick Hosers (KW): Kylar Murray is so crappy he looks like he has a dingleberry on top of his head. <span style="color: #38761d;">>> and now we can play everyone's favorite game: is it racist? :)</span><br />
Beelzebubbles (CC): poop emoji crappy <span style="font-family: "apple color emoji" , "segoe ui emoji" , "noto color emoji" , "android emoji" , "emojisymbols" , "emojione mozilla" , "twemoji mozilla" , "segoe ui symbol"; font-size: 28px;">💩</span><br />
<br />
<h4>
Like, figuratively crappy: <span style="color: #38761d;">(+4)</span></h4>
Gary 'wii mis yu' Francis (RH): Kyler Murray is so crappy, he is considering using his other hand...and I don't mean throwing the football. <span style="color: #38761d;">>> his pimp hand?</span><br />
Too much pressure to come up with a name quickly (KS): Kershawlike <span style="color: #38761d;">>> fun fact, if you google "kershaw" then the first result is knives and not the disappointing Dodgers pitcher.</span><br />
accidentchild (MN): Totally crappy. He did go to OU! And they SUCK!! <span style="color: #38761d;">>> you said it, not me</span><br />
Lost Cause (JH): Blow U crappy <span style="color: #38761d;">>> just like MN said, everything there kinda sucks</span><br />
A Northmen (ANo): pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty craptastic <span style="color: #38761d;">>> I think we can all agree that Larry David would not be impressed with anything in Norman.</span><br />
Crigga88 (CR): Worse than Aids ! <span style="color: #38761d;">>> and now we can play everyone's second favorite game: is AIDS funny? :)</span><br />
<br />
<h4>
Like, simile to someone else:<span style="color: #38761d;"> (+3)</span></h4>
Big Papa (AM): As crappy as his head coach <span style="color: #38761d;">>> this may just be a knock on Kingsbury, but aren't we all only as good as our leaders?</span><br />
The Texans don’t need a GM (CK): Who? <span style="color: #38761d;">>> he lives in the Heisman House</span><br />
Shake and Baker (JN): Not as crappy as Josh Rosen. <span style="color: #38761d;">>> misdirection</span><br />
BlitzKrieg (RK): career trajectory of Robert Griffin III <span style="color: #38761d;">>> Ugh, I actually hope not </span><br />
I Look Good On Top (BF): Almost as bad a Baker Mayfield. <span style="color: #38761d;">>> I don't like what you did there</span><br />
More Challenges (ANe): He’s a baseball player. <span style="color: #38761d;">>> Bo doesn't know Kyler</span><br />
Commodore Nation (KH): He tosses Baker’s salad <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>>> And this is our 5 point bonus answer</b></span><br />
<br />
<h4>
Like, he's not crappy? <span style="color: #38761d;">(+2)</span></h4>
Bevo XV (DW): At which sport? <span style="color: #38761d;">>> handshaking</span><br />
Swampdogs (DR): 5 feet 7 and three-quarters inches worth of overation. <span style="color: #38761d;">>> I don't know about overation, but I agree that he's tiny.</span><br />
SoonerTheBetter (BL): 0% Crap factor <span style="color: #38761d;">>> 100% crimson glasses</span><br />

(Week 3 NFL Bonus)I <strike>think</strike> know that we all have a little Baker Mayfield crush. Do not deny it. Everyone is either (1) a huge Baker fanatic or (2) a closet Baker lover. You cannot convince me otherwise. What kind of Baker fan are you?<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>(1) Baker fanatics:</u></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
SoonerTheBetter (BL): Baker-is-the-greatest-QB-in-college-history-and-will-take-Tom-Brady's-place-as- the-greatest-of-all-time-in-the-NFL. That kind of fan.</h4>
Word up. I’m sure you’ll find no arguments here. +4<br />
<br />
<h4>
Shake and Baker (JN): I was the biggest of Baker fan until my wife informed me she would leave me for him.</h4>
You need to support your wife. She’s good people. +3<br />
<br />
<h4>
Beelzebubbles (CC): Like, i love love him. Like his underwear modeling is my rotating background.</h4>
He's the total package. +4<br />
<br />
<h4>
Cornholio's Bunghole (BO): Well, I'm straight, so I can't be a closet Baker lover. I must be a Baker fanatic.</h4>
Love is not logical. Love is irrational. You get it. +3<br />
<br />
<h4>
The Texans don’t need a GM (CK): Dangerous</h4>
Move over Queen Bey, it’s King Bak. +3<br />
<br />
<h4>
Cockypantherfan (SZ): Poster on the ceiling above my bed</h4>
This kind of love could be 1 or 2, but I’m going to put this in the totally not creepy fanatic bucket. +4<br />
<br />
<h4>
Dirt Burglars (DT): Homer</h4>
Some times the love apple doesn't fall far from the home tree. +3<br />
<br />
<h4>
Gary 'wii mis yu' Francis (RH): Non-closeted, negative non-cis binary/tertiary fan ever!!</h4>
YAS! +4<br />
<br />
<h4>
I Look Good On Top (BF): Huge Upside</h4>
Okrrr. I’ve never stared at his huge upside, but +3<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>(2) Closet Baker lovers:</u></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
More Challenges (ANe): I watch Baker Mayfield clips and then erase my browsing history.</h4>
So is this your big coming out? +4<br />
<br />
<h4>
General Wartz (JM): Hate 'em</h4>
Scientifically speaking, hate is the same emotion as love. Maybe you aren’t ready to come out yet. +3<br />
<br />
<h4>
Too much pressure to come up with a name quickly (KS): Anti baker mayfield fan</h4>
Not capitalizing his name… dead closet lover giveaway. +3<br />
<br />
<h4>
Big Papa (AM): I am the fan that knows he is 100% Douche bag!!!!!</h4>
And everyone knows bad boys are the best. +3<br />
<br />
<h4>
Bevo XV (DW): Baker who?</h4>
You know that Baker! +2<br />
<br />
<h4>
Lost Cause (JH): Baker who??</h4>
Stop playing hard to get you guys!! +2<br />
<br />
<h4>
Swampdogs (DR) The "I hope he gets a head butt to the chin and has to get his jaw wired shut" kind of fan. And that's no disrespect to Baker. I think he's a great player.</h4>
The “I want to feed him milkshakes” kind of fan. That’s not creepy. +4<br />
<br />
<h4>
Gigem! (AP): The one who enjoys watching him get run down by cops and slammed into the concrete...what a DB!</h4>
Legal porn. +4<br />
<br />
<h4>
Commodore Nation (KH): Love to hate, hate to love.</h4>
Really tears at the emotions. +3<br />
<br />
<h4>
Crigga88 (CR): He’s all HYPE</h4>
Believe it +2<br />
<br />
<h4>
Huntwick Hosers (KW): The kind that wants to seem him fail, because he just sucks a$$.</h4>
So obviously you have the closet love. +3<br />
<br />
<h4>
BlitzKrieg (RK): "He hasn't distinguished himself enough on the field in the NFL to deserve much attention from me either way. Just another middling QB right now. 2018: 27th in completion percentage, 17th in yards, tied for 3rd most interceptions, 11th in TDs"</h4>
Secret nerd love +4<br />
<br />
<h4>
A Northmen (ANo): A Cleveland Browns Baker fan, an occasional win that gives them false hope that they are finally going to be good doesn't bug me. Okay, maybe I'm not a Baker fan after all.</h4>
Sometimes it takes a little time to distill your emotions. +4<br />
<br />
<h4>
Accidentchild (MN): I will NEVER be a fan of anyone who played for OU (this better be a 5 pt response!)</h4>
A five-point closet response, for sure. +5<br />

(Week 2 NFL Bonus)Despite James Madison's warning of "the tyranny of the majority," I'm okay with most decisions here being majority rule. In our recruitment form this year, I let you vote on changing NFL picks from straight up to against the spread. As a way of documenting the reasons why we do what we do around here, I also gave you the forum to defend your position.<br />
<br />
However like our democracy here in the United States, or should I say republic, you probably need your commissioner to clarify and validate your opinions. <br />
<br />
Below are the official commissioner interpretations of what your answer sounded like.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Almost no one wanted to switch the NFL contest to against the spread. Why not?</h3>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>I voted for lines. Rest of the league is soft. - BlitzKrieg (RK)</i></blockquote>
This sounds like you aren't interested in some of the solid arguments that are going to follow.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>I did don’t blame me - Too much pressure to come up with a name quickly (KS)</i></blockquote>
This sounds a little defensive sir, so I DO BLAME YOU.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Cause i suck At picking lines lol I sick at picking in general so easier the better for me. - Crigga88 (CR)</i></blockquote>
This is a common and honest answer of the people. You work hard, and the last thing you want to do is study up on what skill player of the week has new assault charges filed against him.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Vegas is too good. NFL pickems would turn into a coin flip. - Gigem! (AP)</i></blockquote>
This is as solid of an opinion on the topic as it gets. You may think we've exhausted the opinions of both sides at this point. I could shut it down right here, but unlike an LSU defender, I'm going to through the fatigue.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Because the line is controlled by the Mob. - Big Papa (AM)</i></blockquote>
This sounds similar to the "everyone else is doing it" argument. I watched the Sopranos, and some of the mob are good people.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Can't figure out all those pluses and minuses - Dirt Burglars (DT)</i></blockquote>
Gambling is mostly minuses. Don't be scared.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>I wanted to, ain't skeered. - 17 National Championships (CG) & More Challenges (ANe)</i></blockquote>
Little known fact, skeer in Dutch is slang for being broke. I ain't skeer twice a month, but that's about it.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Makes the overall contest more difficult. Maybe pick against the spread in NFL and use O/U for college? - Gary 'wii mis yu' Francis (RH)</i></blockquote>
First off, referencing OG P-F player Gary Francis AND using Garynese in your team name is baller. Well done. However, that answer sounds like a way to make Pick'em less fun.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Too much math. - The Texans don’t need a GM (CK)</i></blockquote>
That's what spreadsheets are for.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Cause it's hard enough to pick 'em straight! - Cornholio's Bunghole (BO)</i></blockquote>
It's not as simple as just picking straight though. Pick'em is more of a spectrum these days.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Because most of them live with their mothers and don't like to challenge themselves in life! - I Look Good On Top (BF)</i></blockquote>
This sounds like you need a good hot meal and a hug.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Because I hate change, you know that, I know that, let's just deal with it! - A Northmen (ANo)</i></blockquote>
This sounds like my wife.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Too many bad beats, which don't happen on a winner/loser scenario - Bevo XV (DW)</i></blockquote>
This sounds like a degenerate answer.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Dallas Cowboys suck - Cockypantherfan (SZ)</i></blockquote>
This sounds like someone who knows the cheat code to easy bonus points in P-F.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>WE all had a meeting at a bar and decided we didn't want this because Math is hard - Beelzebubbles (CC)</i></blockquote>
This sounds like --hold up you guys, is there a Pick'em happy hour that I'm not invited to?<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Chickenshit - SoonerTheBetter (BL)</i></blockquote>
Horseshit, j/k<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>I’ve never been in the money while playing the spread. - Shake & Baker (JN)</i></blockquote>
This sounds like a reasonable answer. I think the people are back on track.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Because we missed the Monday Nights Games on this card??? - General Wartz (JM)</i></blockquote>
This sounds like you're just like me. I missed them too.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>I’m not good with numbers. - accidentchild (MN)</i></blockquote>
I'm going to assume this was an intentional play on words -- and I like it.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Everyday life is against the spread. And life is hard. No one likes hard. - Swampdogs (DR)</i></blockquote>
...Except the kids at Rice. That's why they play Texas.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Why mess with perfection? - Huntwick Hosers (KW)</i></blockquote>
It's like you know me.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>3 reasons:<br />A. Lost in a dream. I don't know which way to go<br />B. I've been a fool before. Wouldn't like to get my love caught in the slammin' door<br />C. You are so hard to read. You play hide-and-seek; With your true intentions. If you're only playin' games; I'll just have to say...Abb-b-b-bye, b-b-b-bye<br />- Commodore Nation (KH)</i></blockquote>
...and Paula Abdul. I friggin read this for daaaays and then had to search the internet for clues. Well played sir. Straight up.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>If it ain't broke, don't fix it! - Lost Cause (JH)</i></blockquote>
Sounds like what they say at the local district energy plant!<br />

Don’t Sleep On Pick’em Dash Football </h2>
Science does not fully understand why sleeping is necessary, but you and I empirically understand sleeping is vital to our bodies’ health and cognitive functions. <br />
<br />
Good morning, you guys. It is the dawn of the 2019 football season. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
By the close of last season, you were probably experiencing a decrease in mental functions, a distorted sense of time, a lack of awareness to your job and family, and – God bless you – all weekend day and night game watching fatigue. While I’m sure you didn’t realize any of this at the time, you are better off today than you were last February. While you rested, your P-F-cells raced around inside, repairing and restoring all your questionable decisions made while you were weak and vulnerable. <br />
<h2>
Did You Dream About It? </h2>
Last pick’em season, your brain worked hard to make all the pre-game connections necessary in order to predict winners. After all that work, you needed the offseason rest, but I bet you dreamed about getting back in that pick’em game. <br />
<br />
Your dreams represent your unconscious desires and wishes. Did you dream about that filing that perfect pick’em card? <br />
<br />
Dreams also help develop cognitive capabilities. Raise your hand if you've been having dreams about falling. That means need to let the offseason go. You are ready for this. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Already woke? Head to the <a href="http://bit.ly/pf19-register">registration form</a> now. </i></div>
<br />
If someone has been chasing you each night in your dreams, then follow me and read on. <br />
<h2>
Get Pick’em Dash Football Woke </h2>
Each year we play 4 games that are guaranteed to keep you on the qui vive for winning game predictions all season long. <br />
<br />
Game #1: NCAA Pick’em (played against the spread) <br />
<ul>
<li>15 games per week </li>
<li>Games will list and point spread for you to pick against </li>
<li>Contest represents approximately 1/3 of the registration pot; Both 1st and 2nd place winners will get something</li>
</ul>
Game #2: NFL Pick’em (played straight up, i.e. no spread) <br />
<ul>
<li>All NFL games (14-16) per week </li>
<li>Contest represents approximately 1/3 of the registration pot; 1st and 2nd place winners will get something </li>
</ul>
<div>
Game #3: NCAA Bowl Challenge (played confidence style) <br />
<ul>
<li>All the bowls (41? I've lost count) </li>
<li>Picks are straight up (no spread) </li>
<li>Contest represents approximately 50% of 33% of the pot (uh you do the math); 1st place winner only</li>
</ul>
Game #4: NFL Playoff Challenge (played against the spread, you bet with points Vegas-style) <br />
<ul>
<li>All the playoff games (11) </li>
<li>Picks week-to-week; points are cumulative </li>
<li>Contest represents approximately 50% of 33% of the pot; 1st place winner only </li>
</ul>
<h2>
Yeah But What Is In It For Me? </h2>
Just like your dreams, Pick’em Dash Football offers emotional benefits, such as introspection in the form of open-ended <a href="http://www.pickem-football.com/2018/09/p-f18-week-2-nfl-bonus-mnftwod.html" target="_blank">bonus</a> <a href="http://www.pickem-football.com/2018/11/p-f18-second-biennial-commish-ama-week.html" target="_blank">questions</a> on some weekly cards. You may have been dreaming about what those bonus points can do for you. Scientists don’t agree on the statistical importance, but those points will give you a slight edge in the post-season contests, not to mention a mental edge week-to-week. <br />
<br />
During the offseason, you’ve probably been dreaming about being naked or showing up unprepared for a test. You didn't know at the time, but your brain was preparing you, and right now you are as sharp as you have been in months. You got this, now let’s bring it home. <br />
<br />
Google-able author Lauri Quinn Loewenberg once wrote Pick’em Dash Football is “full of information, advice, guidance and even warnings we need to know about ourselves and about our lives. [Picking] is a very deep and profound thinking process in which we focus solely on the self. Through [picking], we examine our current issues, behaviours (sic, that’s how she talks) and goals. We come up with ideas, we sort things out, we look at ourselves in a deeper light, we gain a clearer picture of ourselves and situation so that we can make better decisions. Those of us that are [Pickem Commissioners] and who use [Google Forms] in our mental health practices have found [picking football games is] the deepest form of therapy available.” <br />
<br />
She honestly said it best. <br />
<br />
Qui vive Pickem Dash Football. <br />

Let’s see which of your prime answers have the power to be The One of the “what would you rather have one of’s.”<br />
<br />
<h3>
The Money:</h3>
DR, BO, ANe, SZ, ANo all want versions of a large bank account <b style="color: #38761d;">(+2)</b>. Something Creative (KS) is going to make it happen in his new one day work week <b style="color: #38761d;">(+3)</b><span style="color: inherit; font-size: inherit;">.</span><br />
<br />
<h3>
The Power:</h3>
CC, BF, DW all want just one significant other <b style="color: #38761d;">(+2)</b>. Although Beelzebubbles’ (CC) “baby daddy” answer rises above <b style="color: #38761d;">(+4)</b><span style="font-size: inherit;">. Big Papa (AM) prefers just one headache, which must be related to power -- or both his heads are hurting and I'm sorry about that</span><span style="color: inherit; font-size: inherit;"> </span><b style="color: #38761d;">(+3)</b><br />
<br />
<h3>
The Rest:</h3>
Katy Tigers (RH) just wants one bill to pay. I’m assuming you like all-inclusive vacations too <b style="color: #38761d;">(+3)</b>.<br />
<br />
Accidentchild (MN) wants one child, and hopefully, the other 3 don’t read P-F blog posts <b style="color: #38761d;">(+3)</b><span style="color: inherit; font-size: inherit;">.</span><br />
<br />
Huntwick Homies (KW) would rather have just one round of chicken pox, and you’ll have to explain, because I didn’t think you could get more than one <b style="color: #38761d;">(+3)</b><span style="color: inherit; font-size: inherit;">.</span><br />
<br />
Lost Cause (JH) would rather just have one password <b style="color: #38761d;">(+4)</b>. Stash90 probably.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">Guru (ANe): What's your inspiration?</span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Two years ago someone asked what motivates me, and I answered "impressing someone with something they weren’t expecting." But this question feels different. *</span><span style="color: blue;">You all* are the inspiration. </span><span style="color: blue;">You bring feeling to my life. </span><span style="color: blue;">You're the inspiration. </span><span style="color: blue;">Want to have you near me.</span><span style="color: blue;">I want to have you hear me saaayinnng. </span><span style="color: blue;">"No one needs you more than I -- need -- yooouuu."</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">Katy Tigers (RH): Was the First Biennial Pickem Dash Football successful and/or enlightening?</span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Inspiring, stimulating, introspective, and all of the above. <a href="http://www.pickem-football.com/2016/11/p-f16-commish-ama-week-10-ncaa-bonus.html" target="_blank">Read all about it here</a>.</span><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">Must be the Salsa (CK): What are you wearing? </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Summer clothes in the winter. If you mean under those, I'm a fan of MeUndies.</span></div></div><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: I've tasted a lot of great beer, but my favorite has got to be Delirium Tremens. Amanda and I discovered this beer many years before we were craft enthusiasts, homebrewers, or brewery investors. Back when Food Network actually taught you how to cook, there was a follow-that-food-type show where someone said it was their favorite beer. We weren't that familiar with Belgian beers at the time, but even after hundreds of Belgian-style beers, Delirium Tremens is still the one I almost always have in the fridge. The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delirium_tremens" target="_blank">origin of the name</a> is great too.</span><br />

</tbody></table><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: This year: Smoked and grilled bologna sandwiches. Personal fav is steak tacos with esquites. The most elaborate may have been the grilled pizzas, where I made and grilled the dough, then everyone made their own pizza that I finished on the grill.</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">2QBs or not 2QBs (CT): When will Texas football be relevant again? </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Texas football is relevant today. Also, if there is any time when you are pondering Texas' relevance, that literally means that they are relevant.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">accidentchild (MN): How many national championships will Texas win in next 5 years? </span><o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Zero. Here's to hoping the next 5 years are more fun to watch than the previous 5 years were though.</span></div></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">Lost Cause (JH): Should Texas start playing Texas A&M again? </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: I'm not sure either school wants to play again. A&M has taken steps clearly in the other direction when a rekindling was possible. I actually have no idea if the aggies still sing about Texas in their fight song, if they horns down their opponents, or if the alt-bonfire is still a thing. What I do know is that Texas already plays their rival every year and they hold eternal scoreboard on the aggies, so I don't really care if the game is ever played again.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">Gigem (AP): Since when did you know that you're going to UT for college? Was it a childhood dream? </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: I grew up in Louisiana, and despite going to high school in Texas, I didn't really understand the Longhorn-Aggie thing until my sophomore year in college. I applied and was accepted into both Engineering schools. These are both great schools, but if given equal opportunity, I think people must really have to be into rural life or the military vibe to choose College Station over Austin, TX. That's just my story though.</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">BlitzKrieg (RK): Did I leave the oven on? </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Likely not, but the trick is to take a picture before you leave.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">Big Papa (AM): Peanut butter cups cold or room temp? </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Maybe the first great question of the A.M.A. First we should agree -- never frozen. Within several seconds, a cold peanut butter cup will be room temperature in your mouth. You get both the cold and room temperature experience when you chill them. Seems like a no-brainer.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">Cockypantherfan (SZ): Blondes or brunettes? </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Either can become either, so I'm more about what really matters in a woman. Ass.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">Case's Clydesdales (MM): Which games do you like picking more college or pro. Which have you had more success at? </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: </span><span style="color: blue;">As a kid, I liked playing basketball a lot more, but I was better at soccer. Not really similar at all, </span><span style="color: blue;">I like picking college games better. I feel like I may like college picks better because the games are more unpredictable. I've had more historical success with NFL games, because despite parity, I think you can get more information in the media about the likely winner. NFL probably has fewer upsets too, based only on my gut feel (or at least when there is an upset, most of the league didn't pick it, so there is less ground lost). </span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">17 National Championships (CG): If you flew jets for the Air Force, what would your call sign be? </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Everyone knows you can't give yourself your own nickname, <a href="http://www.topgunday.com/call-sign-generator/" target="_blank">so apparently I'd be</a> Lt Greg "Hipshot" Norris.</span></div><span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">Huntwick Homies (KW): What are some good blue chip stocks to invest in these days for long term holdings? </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: <a href="https://www.wordlab.com/name-generators/business-name-generator/" target="_blank">Thought no one would ever ask</a>. 1. </span><span style="color: blue;">Hornet Industries (football,pick,vegas), 2. </span><span style="color: blue;">Tepee Global (Aggies,Longhorns,Never), 3. Cool Rain Industries (Craft,Beer,Assman)</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">Cornholio's Bunghole (BO): Will Bob Mueller ever find any collusion in the Trump/Russia probe? </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: I think we all know that there was no collusion. Look at the pocket watch. No collusion.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">I Look Good On Top (BF): What’s your annual salary? </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Yo I can't publish that here. My wife reads this.</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">Northside Nukes (KH): What is the best video game of all-time? </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Super Mario Bros? Galaga? Grand Theft Auto V? You can sleep with a then kill hookers in the latter.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span></div></div></div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">A Northmen (ANo): Why the HELL do you keep putting Wisconsin on the damn card!?! Is it personal? </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: For a long time, Wisconsin on the card was like the Washington State flag at College Gameday: It was always there. In recent years, thanks to all the bugging by A Northmen, I've stopped putting them on every card. The joke here is that Wisconsin appears to be very inconsistent against the spread. I'm not sure why, or if this is even true, but that's the legend of Wisconsin and Pickem Dash Football. </span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">Statistically Improbable (DR): You're named president of your alma mater, what's the first thing you change? </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: I feel like Texas is governed well. I have no complaints except maybe -- free wifi for alumni. My not being able to access the school's wifi is disenfranchisement or something.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">Shake and Baker (JN): When will the NCAA lighten up and let the kids celebrate a TD without a personal foul? </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Yeah but do Sooners even know any dances that don't involve horns down? If not, how about just having the self-discipline to dance your horns downs on the sidelines with your people. And if we allowed dancing, is that fair to Baylor? Once you let them dance in Waco, who knows what comes next.</span></div><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: Yes, but I don't necessarily need them. I'd do this by myself, but each one of you makes it exponentially better. OK, the equation may decay upwards exponentially to a limiting value, but still.</span></div><span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #38761d;">Dirt Burglars (DT): Is the pickem dash football season really just the warm-up to the picked dash curling season? </span><o:p></o:p></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue;">Commish: You should see that google spreadsheet.</span></div></div></div><span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><span style="color: blue;">Commish: And that is it pickers. Remember to eat your veggies. Goodbye and good luck.</span><br />
