In the Ali doc on PBS last night they talked about how after Fraziers beat down to George Foreman it impacted his performance in the rematch. I will admit after last weeks disaster I'm a bit rattled on my pics. For the NipnSip I might have to declare bankruptcy if I don't get out of the hole. That's a lot of pressure.

Absolute legend. I think you'd like the Ken Burns doc....lots of Howard Cosell clips in there as well.

!!!Vaguely related brush with greatness ALERT!!!

My cousin's husband is Ken Burns sound editor. Dude won emmys. The last Burns doc had scenes with him in it. (Didn't watch Ali, but I doubt it since he's probably in his late 30s) Only met him once at a funeral.

I just saw that I didn’t pick Illinois Purdue- I’ll take Illinois, if you have the good graces to accept it. it’s in the second quarter and Purdue is winning. I would not have picked Illinois in that game, or any other for that matter.

Or don’t count it that’s fine too.

That’s not beggy enough. Try again. Really suck it up to DR this time.

Nah, it’s against the rules. He shouldn’t accept it. If he does, great. But he shouldn’t and I understand that #respectthegame #theking

Yeah, the NFL games are the great equalizer if someone omits a pick.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 9/25/2021, 6:48 pm

Turns out that Illinois was the correct pick, which you should not give me a point for as I submitted it late. However, if you did choose to do so due to the overwhelming willingness to submit myself to the process and respect for the rules I have demonstrated, id understand that as well.

It isn't up to me, of course, but I would be sympathetic to allowing this (considering you picked the team that was losing at the time), but you had said very specifically that you would have never picked Illinois in that game or any other game, so it is hard to give you an unintended point.

However, I vote to give you a provisional point which can only be counted if it would be the deciding point to give you the championship over either Nigel or steve.

As long as Travis hasn’t bragged at all about winning last year we can give him a mulligan. Check the tape

Who was "winning" the game at that time, when you add in the 10.5 points for Illinois?

by **steveschneider** 9/25/2021, 11:32 pm

Sorry Travis you were late. I vote no on accepting his pick.

by **DWags** 9/26/2021, 12:01 am

I vote whatever DR wants to do I accept and move on. I used to do a prop bet thing here years ago. Pain in the ass. DR does this and does it well. He’s like a parent with a bunch of ass hole kids screaming at him. If he isn’t consistent in emrulings just STFU. Run a game yourself. I’m happy he does this. Whatever he decides I’m good with. Travis is getting his ass beat by me this year anyway.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 9/26/2021, 12:23 am

You guys just so we’re clear there is no vote

by **kingstonlake** 9/26/2021, 3:04 am

5. If there are discrepancies/issues/things to address, we will vote on things as a committee amongst the pick'em group. I run a tight ship, but I do want to gauge the pulse if something doesn't seem right. Say a person edited their picks but didn't message me, if the circumstances are something out of the ordinary, I'll ask for our group to vote.

Bottom line, whatever DR decides is cool. His pool. My suggestion would be if you miss a pick, you're first NFL pick serves as a substitute. You then have four bonus games to improve with.

It says he runs a tight ship and it’s pretty clear in the subject line when the picks are due. This isn’t Vietnam there are rules.
