IDBillzFan Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Sweet fancy googly moogly, it's that time of year again. Here is what we know: (1) We've had the fourth best draft in the NFL, despite the fact that the quality of this draft won't be known for years. (2) We've successfully addressed all the needs of the team, and yet somehow we haven't come close to filling the holes that are left. (3) We have everything we need to get stoked about the upcoming season, except the fact that after three consecutive 7-9 seasons, we have no reason at all to be stoked about anything. (4) On the upside, we have TO. On the downside, we have TO. (5) On the upside, we got rid of a lazy, fat-ass, work-ethic-challenged LT. On the downside, we just got rid of a two-time Pro Bowl top-5 LT who gave up somewhere between 4 and 11.5 sacks last year. (6) The fastest way to stop a pandemic is to rename it. It all means only one thing: it's time for The 6th Annual "Dinner's On Me, Smartass" Competition. First, the objective: All you need to do to win this contest is accurately predict, right now, which games the Bills will win and lose next year. Just copy/paste the Bills 2009 Schedule and post it in a reply to this thread. Next to each game, predict whether the Bills will win or lose. The only way to win is to guess all games precisely. Whomever does so correctly will receive a $500 gift certificate to the restaurant of their choice. Next, the rules. Read them carefully: • All eligible participants must be registered posters of this board as of January 1, 2009. Anyone new to the board after that date is not eligible. • If, at the end of week 8, there are more than three people still in the contest (or what some here might refer to as "not quite a few"), I will DOUBLE the amount to $1000, AND...the thread will be opened for 48 hours prior to kickoff of each week's game, and each remaining contestant will be able to change their pick for that week. The thread will close 24 hours before kickoff each week. We will continue to allow any and all remaining participants to change their picks each week until everyone is gone or the season is over. If less than three people make it past week 8, the awarded amount stays at $500, but the thread "MAY" be opened to allow those remaining participants to change their picks down the stretch. Alternately, it "MAY NOT" be opened. Just depends on how I'm feeling that week. • You must be a legal resident of the United States to accept the prize; if you are not a legal resident, please post your free government-provided work visa or provide at least two ACORN references for approval. • Regardless of how many winners there are, there is only one prize (not to exceed $1000), and it is split evenly amongst all winners in the form of gift certificates. • Winners must pick all Bills wins/losses correctly. There is no prize for getting close. • A new twist for this year only will be what I will call The Spread The Wealth Factor. If, by some bizarre and random chance you win the $500 certificate, we reserve the right to only give you a certificate worth $350, and take the remaining $150 certificate and randomly give it to one of the people who was wiped out in Week 1 because they deserve a part of what you earned simply because it's apparently the neighborly thing to do. If you are an elected official, you will be exempt from this rule because somehow your wealth is different from everyone else's. • If you are a participant of this contest and at any time during this contest you are caught referring to anything related to the Patriots* without using the required asterisk, or if at any time during the season you are caught defending the Patriots* for their cheating ways, you are disqualified from the contest because there is plenty of room for fun, but no room for idiocy or laziness. They cheated. They get an asterisk. Don't like it? Invent your own freakin' contest. • This thread will initially remain open until midnight (Buffalo time) this Saturday, May 16th, 2009, at which time it will be closed and remain closed unless I feel like randomly opening it for whatever reason floats my boat. • Each eligible participant can only put in one entry. If you feel the need to cheat, fine. You have to live with yourself and outsmarting some dude who who's just trying to have fun can be your private little accomplishment. • If during the course of this contest you are banned from TBD, you're out. • Non-bills fans and team-swapping whores ARE eligible to participate, but are also subjected to our ridicule whenever we please. • I can change the rules to accommodate loopholes I may have overlooked, but the core of the contest remains true: pick all 16 games correctly, get the loot. Here is the schedule for you to copy/paste.

Captain Quint Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 First off, the spread the wealth clause doesn't seem fair. Why would somebody who didn't work hard, or have the fortitude to get where I am, get some of my hard earned money? Aren't we living in a capitalistic society?

papazoid Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 "All eligible participants must be registered posters of this board as of January 1, 2009. Anyone new to the board after that date is not eligible." are you veterans afraid of being shown up ?? a cutoff date of April or May 1st would be better.
Rockinon Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Game one the Bills pull off an upset because our Offensive Line proves it is clearly better than anyone anticipated. The Defense feeds off of the surprisingly unstoppable Offense and plays with a much more aggressive style. DJ finally finds himself and the naysayers stand there speechless with a goofy, dumbfounded look on their faces. This sets the tone for the remainder of the season. Go Bills!
