Yeah sure, SJ, in the five or six seasons we've been doing Hognostications, the single week's picks I miss just happens to occur within the same seven day period that the automated system crashes. And though I distinctly remember making my picks that week, no concession is given that we drop the lowest week (as Boss had done in years past when their were "troubles"). And having soundly whipped your sorry Hognostications record every year prior and since (even with my horrid start to this season), I admit, I do feel a little bitter about your 2008 Championship*.
*Actually, you did score the most correct games that year, but I contest that I scored the same amount of victories. I guess it would have come down to the tie-breakers.

no worries here - Hognostication is just a fun competition as far as I'm concerned & certainly not a 'test' or indicator of anyone's ability OR knowledge
looking forward to the relaxing part of Hognostications - the real test here is trying to predict the total scores btw - in the "real" competition" IF I had posted on time the last week, I would have tied or maybe beaten TRO but I missed the deadline and them's the rules
Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance Snyder's W/L record = 45% (80-96) - Snyder/Allen = 41% (59-84-1)
Congrats Kaz. I tried my best to make up those games at the end. A few of the upset picks I had. Others I didn't. One pick irks me - I originally had the Cowboys over the Eagles...which I changed.
Either, I'd still be in 2nd.
It was fun either way.

Yep, it's always like that. If you'd just known... As Trey said I played it straight. It's hard to pick that many upsets and have them all come through.
