From The Office of the Two Three Time Grand Champion
"The merciful and compassionate!"
And this is how I began last year quoting how we began the previous year . . . quoting how we began the previous year . . . quoting how we began the previous year quoting how we began the previous year . . . quoting the previous year . . . quoting the previous year . . . quoting the previous year . . . quoting the previous year . . . quoting the previous year . . . quoting the previous year . . . quoting the previous year . . . quoting the previous year:
Has anything really changed? We could add Saints, Indy, and Pissburgh [Stop that. – Ed.] fans.There is that scent in the air . . . the scent of Dolphin failure! The scent of Chicago not having a quarterback! The scent of San Diego Los Angeles fans still not over last year!
There is a scent in the air. . . .
AND WHAT A SEASON IT IS SHAPING UP TO BECOME! {Get me a coffee and a bagel!} [Shhh!--Ed.]Ramathorn: What's that smell Rabbit?
Rabbit: FEAR!
The rules, as Carr explained, remain:
T3h Rulz:
Rule the First: "Same idea as last year. Pick a team each week, if that team loses you then own that team and get one point for each regular season win that team gets."
ALL games count: Thursday, Sunday, Day-Night Double-Header to make up for a rain out. . . . I follow the NFL Schedule. So start picking NOW!
Rule the Second: You can pick and change up to the time of kickoff.
Rule the Third: "Mulligan!!"
- 1. Regular Season: each player has one "Mulligan." Those with one will have an "*" next to their name in the Grid of Despair. That means you get one chance to pick a second game if your first game FAILS. To clarify if your first game is the last game of the week – Monday Night Football – you can carry your Mulligan over to the following week unless it is that last game of the regular season: you cannot carry a Mulligan into the Playoffs . . . "Playoffs?"
You declare it . . . you used it whatever the outcome of the first game is.
2. Playoffs?
3. What if Gonna be Absent? For those who are "away" one may post or PM. The second pick must be before the kick-off of that game. So, yes, you can fail on Sunday and pick a later game, even Monday Night Football.
You can post "Imma picking Denver to lose but if that FAIL, I am picking the Jags to lose!"
You have used your "Mulligan."

Win a Division: 4 points
Wild Card: 2 points
Win in First Round of playoffs : 3 point
Win in Divisional Round: 5 points
Win Conference Championship: 7 points
Win Superbowl: 15 points
Supersorrytomakeyoucrybubblebonus: The team that finishes one place out of a playoff spot pays a 2.5 point bonus.
This will be based on the semi-official NFL standings.
ExtraEvidencesDr.XMeaniebonus: Beating the Patriots pays 1 point.
DoNotJudgeOthersbyYourStandardsCHARLEY_BIGTIMEbonus: Beating Pittsburgh pays 1 point.
Doctor X is a MEANIE Point: Your Humble and Magnificent Messiah [PBUH--Ed.] gets 1 points if you pick the Patriots to lose and they win.
Dipshit Bonus:

RadrickGamblingBonus:

In the Rain Bonus: If you have a team that fires a coach before and including Week 9, you get 10 points. If you have a team whose coach is fired before Brack Fliday [Monday--Ed.], you get 5 points. After Brack Fliday [Monday--Ed.] you get 2 points:
- 1. Rained on by Week 9: 10 points.
2. Rained on before Brack Fliday [Monday--Ed.]: 5 points
3. Rained on on or after Brack Fliday [Monday--Ed.]: 2 points
Super Bowl is the cut-off.

Playoffs: "Playoffs? Playoffs?!"
If you pick a team to lose IN the playoffs, you get only the season wins and any previous post season wins. No play-off bonuses.
I am ethically and spiritually barred from choosing NE since I would be guaranteeing myself my own "MEANIE point." If the situation arises in the "Playoffs?" where there is no team I can pick, I default to either the Dipshit Bonus or the RadrickGamblingBonus.
SUGGESTIONS will be entertained.
