As long as they keep putting up fresh picks, I willassume that they are still active and continue to make picks on there. Good luck, Trax. I have noticed that you are having a nice run on SFTC, at least percentage wise. Keep on winning.

It looks like they are changing the look of the site. I did get my jersey when I won so I do not question the legitimacy of the contest site. They are terrible with updating and having picks available. i think mrniceguy was cheating somehow and that is why he was still listed as having 9 in a row but has no balance. The only time I ever got a response from sports parlor was when I requested my jersey be a size they did not offer. Still got one that fit I just like mine bigger so I can put a sweatshirt underneath comfortably ifd I so choose.lol

I don't think they would go through the trouble of changing how the leader board looks if they were going to stop. I still like comparing what games they put up and the lines and totals, that's what I really use on that site. Winning on there is just a bonus for me when it happens.

Hope this helps.

It doesn't affect my steak since i lost a pick after it but SFTC had a prob last night on josh hamiltons 1st plate apperance (hit, walk, or strikeout vs any other result) that they have scored a push even though he flied out to left. The leader is now at w19 instead of w20 because of it. This is the 2nd straight month they have screwed up a prob bet. I just think espn is really losing credibility on this SFTC contest

Ok, I thought it was you that had told me about it Bama because I saw you on the site.

Booyahz123, the updating of leader board is done automatically by the website, I know because I've seen myself on the board & then when I place my bet for the day I drop off it because now there's no money in my account, so the people running the site really don't have to do anything for the leader board to be updated. I hope the site is still gonna be running, but I'm thinking that it might be over.

I have stopped visiting his thread and I suggest that you do the same. You can do what you want, but I wouldn't give him the satisfaction. Let the bitch and his punk ass thread die.

Besides that, his English is so broken and poor that I can no longer understand a fucking thing that he posts. I am being serious. I honestly cannot decipher the meaning of his imbecilic rants anymore. It is a waste of time for me to even try. He is like a child. If you ignore him for long enough, he will get bored and go on to something else. He will stop posting if no one cares enough to respond. The way things are going right now, he is enjoying his moment in the spotlight. I am suggesting that we turn the power off on his ass.

I find it very sad that he is on vacation and has nothing better to do than post his "rhetoric" against us. Do you guys find this sad, as well? Seriously? That asshole should have spent his and packattacks' combined two thousand on some English lessons so that they could learn to write and speak properly. I wonder if they could even read half of what we have said to them. I have really come to hate posting anywhere except here. It seems the waters outside of Smooth's thread are infested with imbeciles and morons. Fuck them and their insults. There are some cool ones out there, but you must wade through the sewers to find them.

Well, that's quite enough ranting for now. Good luck to you, my friend.

That's what I'm talkin' about, brother. Right on, man! That is a good idea to just abuse the shit out of his thread for our own selfish purposes. In his mind, I am sure that he will think that we read everything that he posts and will continue cluelessly responding and retaliating to YouTube videos. I imagine that he feels like he is really getting the upper hand now!

Right on! Nice job on SFTC, pal. Your next win gets you the blue star! GL

If that Assclown is on vacation on that money then I'm in Rio right now getting ready to hit Impanema Beach with some hot Brazilian Babes. Hey thats the name of one of my fantasy football teams. At any rate like I have said before I don't know how you get that much juice out of $2K. That doens't even cover my expenses. So that alone tells me Reddog is a slacker lowlife inbred imbecile.

It's been since Spring but I have Twin streaks going. I have a W7 on SFTC and W5 on Surivor. I will attempt to last through the weekend with both streaks unscathed. I'm going with the Giants today on Surivor with Bumgarner on the mound. Good luck to everyone today!

Thanks, Smooth, for the kind words about my last post on the " HELP!! I've Fallen And I Can't Get Up" thread. I just couldn't bite my tongue any longer and had to really give him the business about his pitiful spelling, grammar, and punctuation. I quit reading his posts over there because it became so tedious to translate them. I mean to say that if I am going to put in that much time just to translate and decipher the manner in which some simpleton is insulting me, then I would rather spend all of that time translating something meaningful like the Lost Gospels of the New Testament or any other myriad of works. There are many other examples of texts that are written in other languages that would be more rewarding to translate. Hieroglyphics would be easier to decipher than reddoggie's posts.

I also enjoyed your follow up post where you told him that we could attack him with the precision of English professor's or that we could just get into some gangsta shit on his punk ass. Clearly he saw that he is severely overpowered.

I give him the credit of not being too stupid to appreciate the gravity of his situation. Is that credit justified? I really thought that the one-two combo that we landed, combined with the flurries of shots landed by Booyahz, had silenced him forever. He posted nothing for days after that. Now that it is clear that they have not, I am now giving him the silent treatment.

Well said Bama. Some people just don't realize when they're over their heads. But I think this fool realized he wasn't fooling anybody with that bullshit he was spouting off.

Good luck to you as well, Smooth! It is truly nice to see you rolling like this, my man. I hope that you are on the way to something HUGE!

I am going with Boise State -20 on here and Boise State winning margin on SFTC. Boise blasted the Rockets 57-14 last season and not much has changed except the venue. Boise State has shown amazing resiliency in replacing players to keep the momentum going from season to season. Due to their lack of respect, they will be out out to pummel everyone that they can to impress the voters and computers. They know that routs are necessary and that is why they never take their foot off of the gas. I see them winning by at least 21 points. Boise will score around 45 points and will hold Toledo to no more than 17 points, in my opinion.

I may write more about Boise State later, but for now, people are arguing a couple of points about the game. For one, they argue that Georgia was not an impressive win for Boise.. I beg to differ. While it is true that UGA is not as good as they have been perennially, they are still an SEC team and they would be capable of running the table in the MAC. Georgia was good and far from elite, but still more than a match for the MAC. I believe that Northern Illinois is the class of the MAC and will steamroll Toledo, but I digress.

The other major argument was Toledo's near upset of Ohio State. Though impressive, the Buckeyes were missing several key players and are a team in transition, having yet to find their identity in this young season. This year's Ohio State team is a defensive, grind it out, powerhouse type of football team. They do not light opponents up through the air. They prefer to run you over and play smash-mouth and tooth-collect football. Boise State faces no such transition and they know who they are and what they like to do; and what they like to do is destroy lesser opponents by running up the score. Their air attack is far more impressive than anything that Toledo saw from the Buckeyes. Boise also runs the ball with power when necessary and plays a very physical and aggressive style of defense. They are comparable to elite FBS teams, because that is what they have become.

Having just played Ohio State is a tremendous disadvantage for p Toledo, I believe. They are missing several key players as well as their top two defenders. Granted, those two defenders were absent against OS, but still, facing the Broncos shorthanded does not bode well. Toledo will be tired, beaten up, and facing short rest from their hard fought, physical clash with the Buckeyes. The mental state of the players should be down after just letting Ohio State off the hook.

The week after a rivalry game is often known to be a letdown spot. Can the players get themselves pumped again? That is a big question mark. They "should" be able to since this is the highest ranked opponent ever to visit Toledo at the Glass Bowl. However, when the bombs start falling, I believe that Toledo's mindset will shatter like glass against the well rested Broncos, who have now had thirteen days to rest and prepare for this game.

Toledo has now lost the element of surprise. Their ability ability to sneak up on Boise went out the window when they fought Ohio State so valiantly. Now, Boise has been studying film for two weeks and thinking of nothing but Toledo. There will be no looking ahead here, fellas. All guns will be blazing as the Broncos invade Toledo and those are some mighty big guns! Look for Boise to roll. That is my pick and I advise using caution in making your own decision. I may be wrong here. This is just my take on the game.

Good luck to all of Smooth D's threaders today!

I am looking forward to this one! Please post a link for us, Smooth. It will be fun to watch this one as the points start rolling in on Sunday. Good luck to you both. The winner will be out for blood in the rematch! Who will be the King of the 25 Dime Club? Stay tuned...

I haven't looked into this one extensively, but from what I have gathered, it should be close. Iowa State was impressive in their triple overtime, shocking win over Iowa. The Cylcones have no defense, apparently. I don't know much about Connecticut other than the fact that they got owned by a weak Vanderbilt squad and have instability at the quarterback position.

Go Blue for the Blue! Good luck, man! I hope you get 'em!

As you requested Bama here is the link for this week's big game. I hope it works! https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/212926/matchup?week=2&mid1=2&mid2=12 password: rick

Just in case it asks you for that. I hope this works because it's a private league and it may not be publicly viewable. However if you want to follow my league the NAFL https://www33.myfantasyleague.com/2011/home/60582#0

It is publicly viewable. I am the Commissh of the league and I hope to expand next year. If you get a chance check that out as well.
