IDBillzFan Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 After starting with over 190 participants in the "Dinner's On Me, Smartass" competition, we are now down to 22 people following yesterday's end-of-the-world-we-should-start-holcumbe-JP-is-inaccurate-Willis-needs-new-shoes-w-t-f-is going-on-here loss to Atlanta. Of the 22 braintrusts who predicted we would open with a win and follow it up with two losses, it seems 17 of you believe we will beat New Orleans and five of you believe we will lose. With that, I would like to add that yesterday's match-up was the Retatta of football games, but just because you ate it doesn't mean you have to puke it up all over this message board the next day. Lighten it up, wouldcha, people?
drnykterstein Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 If the Bills ever go 16-0 or 15-1 you'll owe a lot of poeple dinner LA
Ghost of BiB Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 I'm eating your dinner and taking your car. And I didn't even sign up.

Rubes Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Can you post a linky to the original thread, I can't remember if I'm in the Survivor group.

Lighten it up, wouldcha, people? 455849[/snapback] I puked it up last night. I feel much more better today.

cåblelady Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Wrong gag reflex. 456002[/snapback] I've adjusted my attitude. Maybe I'm just feeling guilty for saying the "F" word so many times yesterday.

cåblelady Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 You were saying Flutie?? 456007[/snapback] Yeah. THAT'S the ticket.
Rubes Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Linky dink 455939[/snapback] Ah yes, the master plan is coming along just fine...
Dan Gross Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Interesting...10 of the 22 folks remaining predicted a winning record overall (3 predicted 8/8). And a loss against Miami at home OR a win against New England in New England will eliminate everyone remaining...
OGTEleven Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 My predictions were: Sep 11 Houston Tie Sep 18 @Tampa Bay Tie Sep 25 Atlanta Loss Oct 2 @New Orleans Win Oct 9 miami WIN Oct 16 N.Y. Jets Tie Oct 23 @Oakland Tie Oct 30 @New England Tie Week 9 BYE Nov 13 Kansas City Tie Nov 20 @San Diego Tie Nov 27 Carolina Tie Dec 4 @miami Win Dec 11 New England Win Dec 17 Denver Tie Dec 24 @Cincinnati Tie Jan 1 @N.Y. Jets Rained out and made up as part of an 06 seson opening doubleheader Record 4-1-10 If you ignore the number of W/L/T's and just focus on the total, you'll notice mine is 15. I'm probably the only one that predicted 15 total games. Now factor in that we ARE NOT PLAYING AT NEW ORLEANS as the schedule had outlined. This means that, technically, our total will be only 15. This renders all entries moot and your "schedule" a fraud. I can either file a class action suit on behalf of all entrants to this fraudulent sweepstakes or you can just cough up that dinner to me based on the total of 15. It's up to you.

SDS Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Interestingly, that is 2 people shy of 1/8 of the starting total... just what you would have predicted if everyone chose randomly...

Still, that's better than the odds of getting hit on the head by a meteor.

It also gives me great comfort knowing that there is even less chance I'll be hit by a met....OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Son of a.........
