You too?! The Proofreader?! o_0

Sorry. I tried to be clear. The original rules/announcement post sets the competition through the Super Bowl and I posted a reminder after the Week 15 post restating it. But hey! You're still in it! 4 weeks left; it'll be tough but possible; I've seen bigger position jumps in this competition over the years!

""Taylor is white and James is black." - Was that really necessary for this particular story? Also, lol she fucked him up. Good for her.

Wild Card Feature Game Seattle Seahawks @ Dallas Cowboys (-2.5) (Remember you are betting against the spread, not just the outright winner) QUESTIONS Playoffs note: Fewer games means 2 fewer questions!

($6,000 for the correct answer) 4) Who will be the most penalized team this weekend in terms of number of penalties (not yards)? ($6,000 for the correct team) 5) Pick the winners ($7,000 for each correct pick, $9,000 bonus if you call all 3 correctly) Indianapolis @ Houston L.A. Chargers @ Baltimore Phiadelphia @ Chicago 6) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards over Wild Card Weekend?

Fueled by a huge bet on the Feature Game and being one of only 2 players to hit the picks bonus in Week 17, BasemntDweller2 maintains his tenative lead going into the playoffs! But other players had big gains this week as well; can he continue to hold them off?! -= WEEK 17 RESULTS =- Feature Game: Indianapolis Colts (-3.5) @ Tennessee Titans The Colts dismantled the Titans by a score of 33(-3.5)-17. Bets on Indy win. -= QUESTIONS =- 1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Colts touchdown, Colts field goal, Colts safety, Titans touchdown, Titans field goal, Titans safety, or other? ($6,000 for the correct call) The scoring was kicked off by an 11 yard red zone touchdown pass from Luck to Inman. Colts TD guesses get it. 2) Which team in the Feature Game will be penalized the most in terms of yardage? ($5,000 for the correct call) The Colts were consuming pumpkins to the tune of 12 penalties for 96 yards compared to 9/75 for the Titans. Calls on Indy get it. 3) Name the quarterback that will throw for the fewest yards in week 17 (minimum 8 pass attempts) ($7,000 for the correct answer) Josh Johnson threw 27 times for 91 yards, just 3.3 yards per pass. Shockingly nobody called this bum's name. 4) How many combined rushing yards will the Packers tally this week: 0-49, 50-99, 100-149, 150-199, 200+? ($6,000 for the correct answer) The Packers put up a big 46 rushing yards total this week, with 40 of that coming from their QB. 0-46 is the right call which nobody got. 5) Pick the winners ($5,000 for each correct pick, $8,000 bonus if you call all 3 correctly) Philadelphia @ Washington Miami @ Buffalo Chicago @ Minnesota Only BasemntDweller2 and RedSox9 called all 3 games correctly to earn the final regular season pick bonus! 6) Playoff picture: There are three teams still on the outside looking in for a playoff spot, needing various scenarios to happen for them to get in; the Titans, Steelers and Eagles. How many of them ultimately make the playoffs when the dust settles at the end of Week 17? ($5,000 for the correct number) Of the 3 bubble teams only the Eagles hit the right scenario to make it into the playoffs. 1 is the answer. 7) Celebrating the final touchdowns of 2018 - Name any game and name the player who will score the final touchdown in that game. ($15,000 for a correct combination) There were many final touchdowns of 2018, but nobody here called any of them. 8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in Week 17. ($20,000 for each player named correctly, $40,000 bonus if both names are called) C.J. Anderson rushed for 132 yards to lead the pack and George Kittle took in 149 through the air to head up the receivers in Week 17.

You make your bet and answer the questions simply by posting on the thread each week with your pick for the featured game along with your bet, followed by your answers to the prediction questions. 2. Everyone starts with $1,000. If a user doesn't start until week 3, they still start with $1,000. Your best bet it to get in early and play every week. 3. If you somehow reach $0 you are not out of the competition. You can't bet on the feature game during weeks that you are broke, but you can answer the prediction questions and hope to earn cash to gamble the following week. 4. IMPORTANT: I will set a deadline for getting your entries for the week in (usually before kick-off of that week's first game). It is imperative that you make your post before the deadline. The entry thread will be locked at the deadline so if you don't get your entry in by then you lose out on the chance to make money that week. 5.

I don't know how that's the fault of the teen and not the guy chasing them.

Sittin' out on the deck at night. Reading Dagon. You hear an odd noise. Looking out over the waves you think you see...something. No, couldn't be. Way out here?

King of Tokyo is such a fun game. Tsuro and Waterdeep have been on my "gotta try 'em" list for a long time but I've never gotten around to getting them so I'm a little jealous right now. Also I love 7 Wonders. :P

Cruises are fun as hell. I've been on several. There's tons of shit to do on the boat. Lots of food options, bars, etc. Shows. Games, events. Or you can just relax with a book or something in your room (this is me). Also at each port (don't forget your passport) you can get off the boat and do stuff. There's almost always a touristy shopping area, plus opportunities to pay for excursions out onto the islands/countries you're in. Some of them can be more expensive than others, but when are you ever going to have the chance to go SCUBA diving in the Caribbean or ATV riding through an island jungle again? You should make it a point to do at least one excursion that sounds fun to you. Tip: rethink your "normal" daily schedule. Cruise boats can get really crowded. If you go to breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc. at a "normal" time the restaurants and buffets are going to super crowded and annoying. Consider going to breakfast earlier than you would normally, or lunch later. Meals are much more relaxing when you don't have to deal with throngs of families with their kids in your ear. Tip #2: Drinking can get expensive on board if you're a drinker and don't have the all inclusive drink package deal. You aren't allowed to bring you own booze on to the boat. Get around this by washing out a large mouthwash bottle and filling it with the not-clear liquor of your choice! Never really forgot anything that I wish I'd had. Definitely bring something to relax with; a book, your DS/Switch/other portable game system, etc. Even if you hit every show and join in every event, there will probably be at least a few hours during the week that you'll want to just sit back and relax for a bit. Most importantly just have fun and don't be afraid to say "yes" to doing fun shit you don't normally do.

Game day bump! Deadline is in a few hours!

How is that? I've read positive reviews but haven't talked to anyone who's actually played.

The U.S.S. Callister. That one was amazing. If you know anything about the generic tropes surrounding that genre of show (episodic space sci-fi) you'll be fine.

After 2 weeks in a row on top of the standings thewhyteboar gets knocked off by BasemntDweller2, one of only 3 players to hit on the Feature Game bet! It's the final week of the regular season - can he hold on to the throne going into the playoffs? -= WEEK 16 RESULTS =- Feature Game: Denver Broncos (-2.5) @ Oakland Raiders The Raiders welcomed the Broncos into their home then stole all their presents, winning outright by a score of 27-14(-2.5) on Christmas Eve.

Broncos touchdown, Broncos field goal, Broncos safety, Raiders touchdown, Raiders field goal, or Raiders safety? ($5,000 for the correct call) Dwayne Harris stunned the Broncos who thought they'd made a great special teams play, turning a "downed at the 1" punt into a 99 yard return for a TD. Guesses on Oakland TD get it. 2) Which team in the Feature Game will have the longest kick return (kickoff OR punt)? ($4,000 for the correct call) Yeah, it was that same 99 yard punt. Guesses on the Raiders win. 3) Christmas gifts to the defense: How many total interceptions will be thrown in Week 16 - over or under 26? ($4,000 for the correct answer) 19 total INTs were thrown in Week 16; well under the average and under the target mark of 26. 4) How many PATs will be missed this week? ($6,000 for the correct answer) Incredibly there were 5 missed PATs in week 16. 5) Pick the winners ($4,000 for each correct pick, $7,000 bonus if you call all 3 correctly) Atlanta @ Carolina Houston @ Philadelphia Green Bay @ N.Y. Jets Biggie, RedSoxFan9 and SFLUFAN each nailed all 3 games to earn the bonus cash for the week! 6) OHIO! Which team will give up more turnovers this week, the Browns or the Bengals? ($4,000 for the correct team) There were no INTs and no fumbles lost in this contest, so we have a tie. Greatoneshere was the only player to call both teams! 7) Holiday blowout: Which game in Week 16 will have the biggest point differential in the final score? ($5,000 for the correct name) The Rams trounced the Cards by a score of 31-9 for a 22 point difference, the largest of the week. 8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in Week 16.

thewhyteboar maintains his slim lead going into week 16 as absolutely everyone eats a loss on the Feature Game! With the playoff picture starting to shape up, can anyone close that gap and take away that top spot on the leaderboard?! -= WEEK 15 RESULTS =- Feature Game: L.A. Chargers (+3.5) @ Kansas City Chiefs A result that nobody saw coming. The Chargers came in swinging to beat the favored Chiefs outright, winning by a score of 29+3.5-28. If anyone had bet on the Bolts they would've won, but that didn't happen. -= QUESTIONS =- 1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Chargers touchdown, Chargers field goal, Chargers safety, Chiefs touchdown, Chiefs field goal, or Chiefs safety? ($5,000 for the correct call) The first score in this one was a short 5 yarder by Mahomes to Robinson. Chiefs TD is the call. 2) Which team in the Feature Game will be the most heavily penalized in terms of YARDAGE? ($3,500 for the correct call) The Chiefs got flagged 6 times for 50 yards while the Chargers got hit with 7, but only for 45. Guesses on the Chiefs win this one. 3) Name any 2 running backs that will rush for over 100 yards in week 15. ($4,000 for the correct answer) Any combination of Henry, Coleman, Samuels, Mack, Cook, Mixon, Ballage, Carson, Edwards, and Chubb got the cash for this one. 4) Next man up: Either due to injury or benching, the Redskins have used multiple quarterbacks in 3 of their last 4 games. Do they use more than one QB again this week? ($2,000 for the correct answer) The Redskins shock everyone by having their quarterback go an entire game without their leg exploding or getting benched for turnovers. Guesses on "no" get it. 5) Pick the winners ($3,500 for each correct pick, $6,000 bonus if you call all 3 correctly) Detroit @ Buffalo New England @ Pittsburgh Oakland @ Cincinnati Several players called a mix of these, but not a lot of people had faith in Pittsburgh. Only Slug and Biggie called all 3 games correctly to earn the picks bonus for the week! 6) Green Bay @ Chicago - Which team will record the highest time of possession? ($4,000 for the correct team) Chicago wins the ToP battle by less than a minute, holding the ball for 30:23 of play time to Green Bay's 29:37. 7) Which player will be credited with the most sacks in Week 15? ($5,000 for the correct name) Henry Anderson and Geno Atkins were both credited with 3 sacks each. Nobody called either player. 8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in Week 15. ($15,000 for each player named correctly, $30,000 bonus if both names are called) Derrick Henry goes off again for 170 yards on the ground while DeAndre Hopkins pulls in 170 himself through the air to lead receivers in Week 15. Keyser_Soze and Biggie called Hopkins and Henry respectively, earning each a nice bump in cash going into week 16. Nobody called both players so no bonus is awarded. -= THE LEADERBOARD =- @thewhyteboar - $115,550 @Keyser_Soze - $96,300 @BasemntDweller2 - $88,100 @RedSoxFan9 - $81,400 @Alpha1Cowboy - $78,500 @Biggie - $70,500 @mikechorney - $61,000 Slug - $35,500 @Jose - $25,400 @SFLUFAN - $18,500 @Greatoneshere - $16,000 @Kal-El814 - $10,500 @johnny - $9,100 Remember; it's never too late to start!

Is this really a problem since it's not 3rd party ads? I mean, it's Capcom promoting SFV DLC and tournaments. Nintendo does the same thing just with pop-ups instead of costume adverts.

I wish I knew someone around here with enough land that we could shoot on their land. As it is we're stuck having to pay for indoor range memberships. Back home in VA I was like you, just shot in the back woods at whichever family member's place. So much better.

If you're ever near Philly I'll be happy to take you.
