Are you local to Philly?

This sucks. I have 4 tickets to the game in Philly and the people who were going with me can't get the time off work to go Tuesday night. So now I gotta scramble to find 3 people to go with me, mid week on short notice.

It's in a safe place. :P

When we started this season I said that there may be 2 bye weeks. Welp, it wasn't the way I expected but here it is. Sorry for the late notice, but family stuff has necessitated this week be the second and (hopefully) final Bye of the '21-22 season. Enjoy your week and may all your teams have good luck. Except the Eagles. RIP Gramma Slug

My bad.

That's the one I felt dirty taking. That's one of those stupid, "well technically..." penalties that shouldn't be a penalty. It was a good football hit IMO.

A crazy Thanksgiving week in the MGT sees AbsolutSurgen pull ahead! One of four players to win on the Feature Game, he holds only a slim lead going into the final 3rd of the regular season! With the tightest leaderboard we've ever had at this stage of the game, every question matters and every bet counts! On to Week 13! Rules reminder for those of you at zero Slug Bucks: You can still play with $0, you just can't bet on the Feature Game. Don't bail out just yet. Question values go up each week and with less than $5k separating the top seven and 6 weeks to go plus post-season, it's still anyone's game and nobody is safe! ########## WEEK 12 RESULTS ########## Week 12 Feature Game: Seattle Seahawks at Washington Football Team (-1.5) The Football Team holds on in a weird one to win Monday Night by a score of 15.5(17-1.5)-15.

($2,000) Desean Jackson did what he does and pulled down a 56 yard touchdown for the first endzone trip of many for the two teams in this shootout. 4) Name the player that will score the first touchdown of the Buffalo @ New Orleans game. ($2,000) Dawson Knox grabs one for a quick 7 yards and the first score of this one. 5) Name the player that will score the first touchdown of the Cleveland @ Baltimore game. ($2,000) Mark Andrews catches what was officially a 13 yard pass but was actually like a 35 yard pass from a scrambling Jackson to get the last first TD of the weekend. Pikachu was the only player to call this one. ######### LEADERBOARD ######### @AbsolutSurgen- $22,995 @Commissar SFLUFAN - $21,303 @Keyser_Soze - $20,800 @Pikachu - $20,400 @thewhyteboar - $20,205 Slug - $20,200 @Biggie - $18,905 @BasemntDweller2 - $2,000 @Kal-El814 - $0 @ManUtdRedDevils - $0 If you think I mathed wrong, let me know. ########## THE SEASON ######### Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 - BYE Week 8 Week 9 Week 10 Week 11 Week 12 ############################### WEEK 13 FEATURE GAME AND QUESTIONS FOLLOW THIS POST!

Making his debut at the top of the MGT leaderboard is Commissar SFLUFAN! Some prescient answers and a stumble by our two time leader puts him in a strong position heading into the final stretch of the regular season. Can he hold on? Get ready for a truncated Week 12 as the usual questions are replaced by the traditional Thanksgiving questions! ########## WEEK 11 RESULTS ########## Week 11 Feature Game - N.Y. Giants(+11.5) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Even an 11.5 point line couldn't save the Giants from getting rolled on their trip to Tampa by a score of 22.5(10+11.5)-30. Bets on the Bucs win.

($1,000 for a correct name) Four quarterbacks (Huntley, Prescott, Wilson, and Ryan) ate dirt 4 or more times in Week 11. If you called one you got it. But nobody did. 4) How many field goals will be scored in the Colts @ Bills game? ($700 for the right answer) Two. With a score like this you'd think there were more, but no, two is the call. 5) Call the winners: Cincinnati at Las Vegas New Orleans at Philadelphia Washington at Carolina ($700 for EACH correctly named game winner, $1,500 bonus if you call all 3 correctly) BasemntDweller2 was the only player to nail all 3 games and hit the bonus! 6) Name any running back that will have a single run of 50 or more yards in Week 11. ($1,000 a correct name) D'Andre Swift ripped off a 57 yarder during Detroit's loss to Cleveland, being the only RB in Week 11 to crack the 50 mark on a single run. 7) Will the first TD in the Dallas @ Kansas City game be a running or a receiving touchdown? ($700 for the right team) A rare rush by Travis Kelce on a direct snap for 4 yards was the first TD in this game.
