Thank you...

@Covers-Team

Thank you...

1958 - Your Fortune 500 company can't afford a decent computer system?

oh my

@lbcake

 Million dollar a year in store sales last year...

11 million for our 5 stores....But old computers...

@bigred84

 I'm just going to throw this out there.  Maybe it's not the computer but it's really the fat fingered dunce typing on it.  

@bigred84

 Exactly my point. Get NEW ones. What excuse to you have Bezos?

@Cranky_Hank

Who were you B4 you picked up Cranky Hanky...

So what you're saying is that the store that you manage did 1 million last year.

The other 4 stores combined did 10 million

Now I understand why you have an old computer in your store.

Perhaps you need to stop double posting and get on the damn sales floor. Maybe wear a sandwich board and pace the sidewalks to drum up business, you fit sumbitch

@Hugh_Jorgan

 The big store in Laurel does 7 million...4 times bigger than the other stores...

2 sales guys in the smaller ones..... 9 guys in our Laurel branch...

Should get out there in a gorilla outfit with the Ngata jersey on 

@Hugh_Jorgan

 How will we score a push if it happens?

@undermysac

 .000000000000000000000000000000000000001 pt

I'm thinking nada. Or possible tie breaker.

@lbcake

 I'd say 1/2. If in the first round, .50, 2nd rd .75, then 1. That would make things interesting 

@lbcake

 I agree with Lb.  No Sportsbook rewards pushes.  I can't see Hughjorgan's Sportsbook rewarding pushes either.

He's already has a lot of money tied up in all these wonderful prize packages.

*He

Good question.

A push is given half the point value of a winning pick for that round.

Can't give zero for a push and make it the same as a losing pick.

Also, going into the 3rd round, all those still alive to win will PM their picks to one of us who has been eliminated. That prevents guys from just picking the opposite of the leader

Odds to win the contest:

Sac: 5-2 Heavy chalk as a result of the 'due' factor

Cranky Hank: 9-2 See above

TW: 11-2 Been consistent and solid all year

BigD: 11-2 See above

Getty: 9-1 Best writeups. Has a chance

BWS: 15-1 His effort will be limited as he is still celebrating the Browns collapse

#cake: 15-1 Distracted by soccer, still a punchers chance

Biscuit: 15-1 Tremendous CFB season, most of it as a result of fading bigred

Monte: 18-1 New guy luck makes him dangerous, even if he is an old guy new guy

ODB: 25-1 Irregular contributions from an irregular man

iConscious: 25-1 Probably best value bet on the board

Yao Ming: 25-1 Whatever his picks are they will be well written

Ken: 30-1 Very infrequent contributor, but a long time contributor

Johnny Odae: 33-1 Wonderful person, unsure of his picking acumen

Hugh: 50-1 I never win this fuckin thing

Cyrax: 50-1 Playoff football tends to be low scoring

DoubleUp: 100-1 Chances of him getting DQ'd for talking politics in here are significant

CD: 500-1 Just in case he shows up

Bigred: 1,000-1 Has as much chance at winning this as BigFnPoo

Did I miss anyone?

Anyone else wants to be included in the contest, all that is required is one post in one of this years Newsletters.

The prize for winning is worth the effort

cold blooded.   and I'm dying to know this "prize" I could care less about?     

@BIGDTITLE

 I am prohibited from mentioning the prize because a few years ago I did say what it was and Wally shut it down due to a violation of Covers rules or some such nonsense.

I'm not sure any of the previous winners are still posting, otherwise they would vouch for it.

Don't assume it's not worth winning

@Hugh_Jorgan

If the prize was to eliminate all the threads that get dumped here based on Covid  , Trump , politics ......we are all winners ...I hope Rizzo wins 

@BIGDTITLE

At 32-21  in PFB this year ATS  documented in here...I might actually be 3-5...

Tigger  you just gotta stop being a Hater.......

That's the spirit! You'll be the betting favorite at my sportsbook for sure. A can't lose kind of favorite.  Kind of like Tyson vs. Douglas, Colts vs. Jets SB3, Yankees up 3 games vs. Red Sox in 04, Oilers up 32 on the Bills, AC Milan up 3-0 at halftime vs. Liverpool 05.  

Damn the pressure is on with those odds 

I'll parlay TW  &  BWS  like peanut butter & jelly
