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.

Don't be afraid of getting knocked out!

Met Smokin' Joe one time. Was surprised at how short he was.

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

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

Travis of the Cosmos wrote: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.

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.
