You've got it! I'm pretty busy over the next few days, but I'll be getting on this at some point closer to the weekend. Last year it was mentioned that someone might want to run the game in a different way (using CBS Sports), so I am waiting until the 15th to see if that happens like I said in last year's thread. If not, then we'll get underway. If so, then I'm not going to run a directly competing game with substantially similar rules.

In the meantime, it just occurred to me why I have such mixed feelings about Jon Gruden:

Jon Gruden is your friend's overbearing, "Baseball Dad," who yells from the bleachers to, "Put some wood on the ball," right after you've just taken a four pitch walk. Walk twice in the game and he'll put his hand on your shoulder after and say, "Don't be afraid to swing, just get up there and be confident," and then give you an uncomfortably hard smack on the ass as you're walking away.

Why baseball, anyway? I played a few different sports growing up and baseball was the only one where you get slapped on the ass all the time.

Back to Gruden, so your own parents couldn't make that game and you had to ride with Gruden back home. On the one hand, he spends the entire time in his rusty pickup truck giving you unsolicited baseball advice even though you went 2-2 with two walks, two runs and an RBI. He's still preaching about being more aggressive at the plate. You kind of want to tell him to shut the hell up, but just having the thought that he should shut the hell up makes you feel bad because he's just really earnest about it and happy to be talking baseball with the kids. You kind of wonder why he's not the coach, after all, he is at every game...turns out it's because the other dads can't stand him...

You chuckle to yourself as you realize that this soliloquy is the exact reason the other dads don't want him around, but then he pulls into Dairy Queen and says, "Anything you boys want, my treat!" And, now you REALLY feel bad for having these negative thoughts about the guy.

Maybe I only feel this way because my friend's dad was a baseball dad and actually looked kind of like Gruden, just with a little bit less hair. I swear to God it was the same voice, too, just toned down a little bit in the case of my friend's dad because this was the Midwest. Midwest/Appalachia, anyway.

There's one very important difference, though. My friend's dad wasn't an overbearing TV-time hogging NFL coach who got paid 2.5 million, per win last year who is now kowtowing left and right to that diva, Antonio Brown.

Screw you, Gruden. You're so annoying and you've never bought me a milkshake.

(I just looked and Gruden was born and grew up some in Ohio and the rest in Indiana. It all makes so much sense, now.)

Oh, man this is internet GOLD! Well done Mission!

I love Gruden though. A big league needs big personalities. His picture should be on cans of Jolt cola. I wonder what Tom Landry and him in a room would be like?

What is the deal with the new helmets? Its reported that Antonio Brown is having a s###-fit about the helmets and Tom Brady saying that he preferred his old helmet.

I read the question in a Seinfeld voice, I hope you don’t mind.

The NFL has a number of guidelines relating to helmets. One of them is that a helmet design more than ten years old can no longer be used and the other is a helmet must be NFL approved. I believe they’ve approved 36 different models, something like that.

Anyway, Antonio Brown’s just a diva who doesn’t want to practice except for when he wants to practice. He was never going to retire over it. Our personal Lord, Savior and the Son of God, Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. simply stated, with dignity and aplomb, that he preferred his old helmet, but rules are rules.

Anyway, it’s not unusual to get attached to a particular piece of equipment after years of using it. It fits/feels just right. Superstition often then turns into confirmation bias because using something else shakes your confidence. I don’t know that Brady would have said anything except I think someone directly asked him.

Feel free to read the following with your Seinfeld voice as well: What kind of effed up rule is that? Without testing, they just assume a new helmet is inherently safer than an older design? I'm sure most, if not all are, but to blindly make a blanket rule like that (with what I would assume is an arbitrary time-frame) defies logic. It is possible they could be banning a safer helmet while requiring the use of an inferior one.

I would agree 100% that ol' Frozen Toes is quite the diva. But I can actually see his point. He claims that the new designs protrude out farther from the forehead than his old helmet, limiting his field of vision. For a receiver, especially a deep-ball threat like AB, I can see how that could impede his abilities.

I would assume the new helmet designs are rigorously tested. The goal of the new helmet designs is that they are constructed in a way to minimize head trauma and make concussions less likely. They probably test them on dummies or have other mechanisms that test for the force of impact to the actual cranium.

In the case of Brady and Brown, they have a dual-problem when it comes to the helmets. The first is that their physical helmets are more than ten years old, which is forbidden by the rule. The second problem is that the manufacturers themselves no longer make that particular type of helmet. If the helmet model was still being made (and was approved) they could just get a new one.

That may be, but there are plenty of other receivers in the league and we don't hear them threatening to retire. Again, AB just doesn't want to practice except for when he wants to practice, that's all. You'll see him out there on gameday, sure enough, unless he gets cold feet again. I honestly don't think Goddell would have been heartbroken had Brown retired.

Did we have a spat? If we did, then let me apologize if I said anything offensive to you or about you. I'm actually pretty sure I did, but don't specifically recall what it was and nor do I care to look.

In any case, I would love to have you participate in this game again!

In any event, I adamantly refuse any payment of any kind for running this game. Honestly, I really enjoy doing it when nobody is telling me all of the reasons why the way I like to run it (keeping all operations strictly on WoV) sucks. That's also not a dig at anybody who may have done that, they are more than welcome to play the game again, as well. I guess my point is just that there is no reason to bring up using a third-party website for anything again because the fundamentals of the way this game is run are not going to change as long as I am the one running it.

I move that Mission pay each participant $5 for allowing him to moderate this contest. I might actually play if that is the case.

I'm in and planning on adding seed. Details to follow, conditions will be early entry and the other a very late entry. Thinking for the early entry prize, you'll have to send your picks in Friday by 4pm EST and the late entry will require it to be sent in the last 5 minutes.

This will honor my smoking guarantee and honor people influential to me here.

Mission said the other day that he is going to run it as long as people are good with him running it his way rather than signing up on some kind of website. Haven't seen any objections to him doing that, so I expect he will be running it.

I'm thinking about offering some non- cash prizes, myself. I have some fun items I'd like to place in good homes.

Sorry but there is a $4.99 a month maintenance fee.



I think BBB agreed to pay that :)

That would be a hard pass, I have enough things to worry about, no need to add in extra, getting picks in on time and in the correct format. I'm just here to troll show support to everyone.

I had the under on 3 weeks before you screwed up. Does this qualify as a win?

You can add my name to the list. I finished in next to last place in the 2018 pool, so I see room for improvement.

Its beginning to look as if there will be no NFL Picks contest this year. There's been no action to organize or to declare the contest nor any action to collect money. Perhaps either Mission or BB or Wiz could officially clarify the status of the contest?

I'm surprised some of these football players are saying they've had the same helmet for multiple seasons. If Pete Rose played football, he'd have switched helmets every time he came off the field and sell it on ebay. The day he broke Ty Cobbs hit record, he switched jerseys nine times and sold each of them as being game worn in the historic game.
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

Thursday night games I believe are not eligible for picks, so there is still 12 days to get this going.

he hasnt been on the site in a week now. Hopefully he is coming to start. I was thinking about starting a signup thread but with only 12 days I am not sure I can start from scratch at this point.
