I just got to get this out of my system... I preface, though, that this does not apply to your call, Jeff, and I'll even go as far as to grant that maybe I'm just WAY out of tune here with making "long-shot-to-show" calls. But, to me the beauty and utility of the "Gridiron Guarantee" lie NOT in finding one of the bizarrest (yet (hardly) "possible") things that could happen in a given week and predicting it. Rather they lie in making bold (as you yourself put it) calls that can have efficacy either in fantasy or betting, for better or worse, right or wrong... and not just as an "I told you so" here on this thread. I mean that's nice, too,... but... "eh". Now, while the victory part of the KC-over-Denver prediction could have had an effect on a reasonable man's thinking process (when laying down a bet or perhaps choosing a team D/ST for the week), I mean NO one in their right mind should have even considered playing Damon Huard this week, and he even had a good game, mind you, but still terrible fantasy-wise. I mean I was wrong regarding Plummer, but what I proposed was fathomable and could have influenced a fantasy footballer's and/or bettor's thinking... for better or WORSE, whereas, a "bold" (I'm proposing "over-the-top ridiculous") prediction about Damon Huard putting up 300 yards and 3 touchdowns affects nothing outside of this thread... or, at least, shouldn't. You followin' me??? I mean,... again,... whatever...  This thread in and of itself and saying "I told you so" just right here is just fine, and while, of course, you can quip back at me anyway you want (you're not being overly nasty to me or anything), doing so in the way you did just makes me want to clarify the spirit of my ribbing... and thinking... about this thread, and how I'm approaching it.

I mean, ultimately, if you read (between) the lines  of my post there, what I am saying is that it's a bit of a "Seinfeld" thread. There's only but a general parameter. It can be about/for whatever each person want's it to be. I'm just telling you what it's about for me and how I am going to participate on it so as to put my comments "in context". Now, if others agree/like the idea, so be it. If not,... so be it (though, of course, implicit in my suggestion is that I think it is a better way to take this thread... up a notch). I am just gonna do my thang and right now am lettin' people know where I'm comin' from and how to take "my shit".  That's all.
