2009 NFL Contest Trash Talking and Q&A thread

So you think you can beat the staff... you have decided to compete..

Here is your thread to talk a little smack (T&C's Apply, so keep it fun), or if you some questions about the contest answered, please ask them here.

Since we have two weeks prior to the opening of the contest, I will post up the last two weeks of preseason in this thread so the members who want to participate can get some practice in and any issues can be hashed out prior.


Will you summon the courage needed to take on the expert staff prognosticators?

Do you dare?

Good luck to all the members who join the fray...

Most importantly.. Please have fun!!!

Good Deal

I see an Aussie's trying to take over NASCAR (Marcos Ambrose), and now Oz trying to outpick the staff in the NFL contest?

Make sure you find your enlightened one to help you with your picks..

I heard this guy's available...

He doesn't come cheap!!

Good Luck

Oh dear, if the quality of your picks is double that of your smack talk this thing is gonna be a breeze.

No need to unleash them before the season..

It is not I you should worry about, it is the unknown that you should fear.

"We're talking about practice, man. I mean, how silly is that? We're talking about practice. I know I'm supposed to be there. I know I'm supposed to lead by example . . . I know it's important . . . I honestly do. But we're talking about practice, man. What are we talking about? Practice?"

reply to post by schrodingers dog


If I remember correctly, that was a fellow Virginian...

Someone I actually watched play quarterback in high school vs my team the Norview Pilots...

His success, and disdain for practice in the quote you provided was however in another sport..

Close?

reply to post by JacKatMtn


Isn't Hampton in Delaware?

reply to post by schrodingers dog


Could be, but there is a Hampton Virginia and the person I am referring to went to Bethel HS..




Is this the one?

reply to post by JacKatMtn
