But the real question is, could he possibly be as bad as you and I? We can't be letting any legitimate cappers into this contest...
Well, I never stated that legitimate cappers weren't qualified. Plus, I have a feeling that we might not be as bad as we claim. Making our picks public will force us to up our game.

I guess it's just a matter of how we divide the challenges. I can aford (barely) to risk 20 dollars against you as well as a few pitchers against Kramer.

You and Kramer (or anyone else who might find their way into this challenge) don't have to risk anything against each other.

in an interest bearing account at no less than 15 percent with Hippo overseeing the account?:SIB

Where can you get an interest account for 15%?? My money market account is 2.5%...

However you want to play it Smurph. If you want to go against me and Kramer, so be it. I would be absolutely no contest to Kramer, and I don't need to embarass myself too badly, lol.

I really am that bad. Just for the record :SIB

Well then...I might reconsider!



Cie Grant - that strategy has been applied, but alas, when I fade myself, THEN I can pick the winners (thus I still lose)...

Smurph, if I start REALLY bad in NFL, then we will start an NBA contest too :SIB

You're getting stiffed if you're only getting 2.5% on a MM acct. Do a little research- you can find 5% online. Could be pointless depending on the balance- just an FYI

Good point. Capitol One offers a MM w/ free unlimited check-writing and no minimum balance requirements @ 5.00%.

You can access it is at the bottom of the Cap1 home page under direct banking.

Not sure Hippo i figured Agent could find it somewhere. I started another thread to get rid of this one but somehow this one magically reappeared:shrug:

Pretty busy weekend with family commitments so I am only now responding.

Sponge, you have a message in your inbox outlining my agreement to the latest scenario. For all of those interested, Sponge will find a way to contact Agent in order to post up his side and then I will find another MJ'er to hold mine.

Untill we have verified our own agreement, I have asked that Sponge and I only communicate through email on this matter and once that has happened, we will post exactly what is the agreed scenario.

Although Sponge and I are both guilty of several silly posts in this matter, I believe that if anyone looks at the first few posts in this thread, they will see that my intent was nothing more than to except a forum wide challenge for the upcoming football season. Unfortunately, as is often the case with an internet pissing match, things have since been blown way out of that original mindset. Much of the blame for that falls squarely on my shoulders but I would ask that Sponge and I be given the chance to dial things back down and have a football contest without all of the drama.

TY & GL

On the course!
But, Judge.........No one really cares about the contest. We only care about the entertainment value of the pissing match leading up to it.
