DFO Prediction Contests Update – Week 1

ballsofsteelandfury -
55

As I promised in the initial post announcing our prediction contests, here is your weekly update:

Eliminator Challenge ($200 prize in cash or donation to Wounded Warriors)

There was some blood shed on Week One, my friends.  It was like a middle school girls restroom out there.  20 entries, including mine, were told

Out of the original 77 entries, only 57 remain alive.  Among the eliminated were a lot of the writers of this here site.  Which basically goes to show you that we are the embodiment of this cute guy:

DFO Spreads Wide (picking against the spread, Prize = A grab at OSZ’s bag of goodies)

Senor Weaselo and TrollSoHardU are tied at the top with 12 correct picks. Clipboard Jesus is alone in second with 11 and there are eight entries tied for third with 10.  There are another eight entries with 9 and a further six entries with 8.  At the bottom, two people forgot to pick games and have 0 correct picks.  WordPress doesn’t usually like tables, but let’s see if this doesn’t screw things up too much:

DFO Picks Its Nose (Straight-Up pick, Prize: A bottle of fine booze)

Senor Weaselo again tops the standings with 12 correct picks and is tied with someone who used the generic ESPN username as their entry name.  Reveal thyself, co-leader!  There are 8 entries tied for second with 11 picks and a further 10 with 10 and 13 with 9.  Again, two DFOers forgot to enter in picks and are at the bottom with 0 correct picks.  Here is the table:

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

Forgive this post if it gets fucked up, I’m still trying to get image posting to work for me. As I recall, I also offered to throw in an original pen & ink drawing to the winner, and I offer as proof that I have some skill the image below:

If’n that doesn’t work, just visit the following tumblr for some examples I ain’t lyin:

Holy shit! That’s awesome!

blordinaryfagicmox

If first place is 12 which equals 97.7 percent, how is second place with 11 equal to 89.7 percent? Is it a Weibull distribution?

0
Doktor Zymm

I think it’s a percentile based on Yahoo-wide results. But I don’t know really since they didn’t bother to label the damn thing in an informative manner.

0
blordinaryfagicmox

Ah, that makes more sense than it just being 12/16.
With my 52% it looks like I might have to do some extra credit.

WOOO FIRST PLACE.

I. AM. FOOTBALL.

blaxabbath

This all seems about in line with the preseason prediction post where everyone had their favorite team with a losing record because, “These fuckers will find a way to fuck it up. They always do.”

Doktor Zymm

I still stand behind my strategy of picking the Jets/Browns game for the eliminator. Next time I should just pick it correctly. Though, either way, I still never have to pick the Browns again. Woo!

Brick Meathook

Sean Connery is the not only the best Bond, he is the only real Bond. And Jill St. John is the hottest Bond girl. And nobody calls Moe St. Cool a phony.

0
nomonkeyfun

I will accept that a person may think someone other than Connery is the best Bond, I’d even go so far as to believe for ten minutes that a sane person might think Lazenby was the best Bond.

But I will fight to the death anyone who argues there has ever been a hotter Bond girl than Honor Blackman.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Let’s ignore me be in last place on that list and talk something important. Best Bonds rankings

1) Connery
2) Brosnan
3) Craig

I will fight for Brosnan, he was the best with shitty scripts
except for Goldeneye… ok that one wasn’t perfect either.

::hold me back::

::edit:: I suck at typing after I sleep. The Bond question still matters

0
ballsofsteelandfury

I go Connery at #1 easily. After that, it’s difficult. Craig embodies the spirit of the novels better than anyone. Dalton was very good although he only got two movies. Brosnan kicked ass and Moore had his own charm. It’s not his fault his movies turned cartoonish. I’ve never seen On Your Majesty’s Secret Service.

WAIT A SECOND

I’m watching the Eagles-Falcons game from last night for the first time. Jon Gruden just said “slobberknocker” at 9:20 in the 3rd quarter. Now, I watched the second game live last night with all of you, and Dilfer kept saying “slobberknocker” and we were all joking about it.

Is this a new thing? I doubt it because ESPN is owned by Disney and none of this shit is accidental.

Any of you (is it “commentist” now?) have any info?

P.S. Why has Darren Sproles bounced around the league? He always seems awesome. Sure, he’s short, but that just means they can’t see him. I’ve never seen Sproles have a bad game, but he always seems to be on a different team each time.

I’m watching the Eagles-Falcons game from last night. I couldn’t watch it live because I had to work. Hey, those french fries don’t make themselves, folks.

If I get into a really self-loathing mood, i’ll re-watch the Berman-Dilfer game, because Trent Dilfer is the best announcer in the entire history of sports broadcasting. He’s even better than Brian Billick, which I previously thought was impossible. #elite

0
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I remember Billick saying what I considered (at the time) to be the dumbest thing ever said in the history of NFL broadcasting. Unfortunately it was too stupid for me to remember; my brain has dumped it from memory the way it would drop a nonsensical dream or memories of being molested.

Between that and getting to rev up a Nissan GT-R today (the parentals are checking out cars and I’ll get the old one, but I talked about the GT-R and the salesperson asked if I wanted to go downstairs and check it out), I’m having a pretty good few days.
