Title: How about another little game? Playoff Predictions Post by Keyshawn Johnson 76yards on Dec 31st, 2002, 3:39pm [smiley=pimpin.gif] Keyshawn's Wild Wild Card/ Playoff Predictions This is simple enough, leave your playoff predictions right here, after it's all said and done. Whoever had the most correct predictions wins, maybe even a slight prize at the end provided by mahself. Maybe.[smiley=theyareontome.gif] In the case of a tie, the player with the closest score to the outcome of the game wins the tiebreaker. Simple enough? Good luck, you're going to need it against me. [smiley=zenmaster.gif] Oh and one last little thing, you must leave ALL playoff predictions on the same post, just to make this a bit more "difficult." [smiley=tonguin.gif] Deadlines are before the first Wild Card Game AFC Wild Card 1/4 - 1/5 Colts vs. 17 Jets 24 Browns vs. 10 Steelers 7 NFC Wild Card 1/4 - 1/5 *Upset Special Muahaha* Yeah, I know Packers are undefeated at home, but I have a really big gut feeling that the Packers will lose this game, I can look really stupid for making this pick, or really smart. :P Packers vs. 17 Falcons 23 Giants vs. 27 49ers 24 AFC Divisional 1/12- 1/13 Jets vs. 27 Raiders 31 Titans vs. 24 Browns 10 NFC Divisional 1/12 - 1/13 Tampa Bay vs. 17 Giants 7 Philadelphia vs. 27 Atlanta 17 AFC Conf Finals Titans vs. 31 Raiders 38 NFC Conf Finals Tampa Bay vs. 20 Philadelphia 14 SuperBowl Oakland vs. 7 Tampa Bay 10 Well there you have it, my totally "UNBIASED" [smiley=mywhippinboy.gif] predictions.

Title: Re: How about another little game? Playoff Predict Post by Keyshawn Johnson 76yards on Jan 5th, 2003, 12:51am Looks like me and FourTwoOh jumped out to the early lead at 2-0. I changed my Steelers vs. Browns to Steelers OVER the Browns. Score stays the same... |

Dude, you can't change your picks. I'm not going to say that ain't fair because I guess we all can do the same thing (those who happen to log on today before the games that is), but that ain't right! Isn't this supposed to be about what your feeling was before the playoffs began? All the rest of our picks were made like that. Yours are the only exception. You got to watch the results of yesterday's games, which doesn't help you know today's results, BUT it does let you strategize according to our picks AND what happened yesterday. My ONE way to catch you today was for Pittsburgh to beat Cleveland. Now, there is NO way for me to catch you. This is cheese! Change your pick back, or count me out. [smiley=no.gif] [smiley=thumbsdown.gif] [smiley=no.gif] [smiley=thumbsdown.gif] Added after edit... Just so the only example I give is not just about me, there is also no chance for FourTwoOh to pull away from you, either, with this change of yours. As time for you to change your pick dwindles, I realize more and more how much this taints things. It is actually (potentially) brilliant strategy on your part. You say to yourself, "I'll pick 3 of 4 upsets and adjust according to how Saturday night goes and the others' picks." This makes your picking the Falcons right out of the gate like you did a MUCH LESS bold pick. I guess it was Atlanta OR Cleveland, huh? Maybe not, but one could surmise this way. I guess what is bending me out of shape here most is that this is exactly this kind of thing I want to avoid on "the Gridiron". This is exactly the kind of childish, panty-waste bullshit that you find on some other sites. I want dudes here to be straight up about their shit and be men about it and not create circustances for pussy-ass arguments like this. [smiley=thumbsdown.gif] [smiley=smileythumbsdown.gif] [smiley=thumbsdown.gif] [smiley=smileythumbsdown.gif] [smiley=thumbsdown.gif] Come on, dude! Be a man and have some balls here and go with your original picks! [smiley=yes.gif] |

You said it best... Also, please explain the scoring. How can you be up 2-0? I went 1-1 yesterday... what am I missing here? |

Title: Re: How about another little game? Playoff Predict Post by StegRock on Jan 5th, 2003, 1:24pm I was going to give you 'til the end of the game(s) to change your pick back. BUT, I am realizing that almost nothing can be done with any purity now. If you wait until the end of the game and Cleveland wins, it is not going to be very "noble" of you to change your pick back then. Even now with Cleveland's impressive early drive, your reversion would be tainted. Basically, I have made my decision on what I am going to do... I am OUT unless Pittsburgh wins AND you change your pick back to Cleveland. That is the only solution, dude! Sorry! You set the deadline; you, too, have to play by your rules. I hope it is a lesson learned because it applies to real life as well, much more profoundly actually, as this kind of thing is just a microcosm of real life. Just think Enron! [smiley=no.gif] |

Title: Re: How about another little game? Playoff Predict Post by Keyshawn Johnson 76yards on Jan 6th, 2003, 7:39am See the thing is. I always had the Steelers pick. You can find my picks at FFToday.com for proof. When, I came on here, I realized that I had Cleveland picked for some reason. Yes, I did revamp my picks as two wildcard games had already been played, though, it was LATE Saturday Night when I changed it. Also, if I changed my picks to what had happened that day, I wouldn't. I would have left Cleveland as is because on Saturday there were mostly "upsets." It's not so much as I changed a late decision. I realized I had chose the wrong team, and edited it to late. If anything, I'll change my picks back it doesn't matter. |

Title: Re: How about another little game? Playoff Predict Post by Keyshawn Johnson 76yards on Jan 7th, 2003, 3:33pm *I apologize for any problems I caused with me "changing" my pick. I don't know why I chose Cleveland, considering, I had the Steelers picked on FFToday.com and friendly bets with friends. I got no response to my last message, so I'm guessing, no one cares anymore? As for me not being able to pull away from FourTwoOh? We have different picks..... Scoring so far: KeyshawnJohnson 76yards: 3-1 StegRock: 2-2 Phiily: 3-1 FourTwoOh: 3-1 Walker_Boh: 3-1 Order of placing due to tiebreaker(If Playoffs ended today: #1 FourTwoOh #2 Walker_Boh #3 Phiily #4 KeyshawnJohnson76yards #5 StegRock If you would like to know exactly how I did the tiebreaker just ask. |

No, that ain't right! I did not respond to your prior post assuming that you would do the right thing and take the loss. Listen, I was having second thoughts on one of Sunday's games, as well, and if you had responded more expediently/expeditiously on Sunday, I was actually seriously considering switching my pick from the Giants to the 49ers. You never did respond on Sunday, so I decided to follow your rules and not further the problem by going and changing my pick as well, which would have tainted this even more. You set the deadline, dude. You gotta' stick with your original picks or, as I stated above, I'm out, and I don't give a shit what you picked at FFToday. You picked Cleveland here. Maybe you decided to do that here BECAUSE you took Pittsburgh there and wanted to play it a little "looser" here as this is the smaller site. Listen, you go 3 - 1, count me out and continue on with your other buds (but I am hoping someone else here gets my back), despite the fact that I was the first one to join in on this thing and help you give it life, OR you go 2 - 2 and I remain in. One other thing, as for your statement regarding FourTwoOh, you're wrong. With your change, you had the same exact picks as FourTwoOh. Anyway... [smiley=annoyed.gif] |

Title: Re: How about another little game? Playoff Predict Post by FourTwoOh on Jan 7th, 2003, 4:55pm KJ, StegRock is correct here. You really oughta just stick with you're orignal picks, mistakenly posted or not. Once it goes from being just a list of who you think will win what to being a contest, friendly, free, or otherwise, picks need to be set in stone. [smiley=letsmakeup.gif] :) |

Title: Re: How about another little game? Playoff Predict Post by Philly on Jan 7th, 2003, 5:34pm I also agree with StegRock and FourTwoOh. I'll continue to stand by them (unless you let me change my picks for this weekend)... :o :o :o :o :o |

I'm sure you made the change in good faith, but you have to look at it from our perspective. You said the deadline was before the start of the first Wild Card game and you should stand by your original post. |

Title: Re: How about another little game? Playoff Predict Post by Keyshawn Johnson 76yards on Jan 7th, 2003, 7:05pm I'm in no way cheating, or trying to cheat. I also believe that you need to just calm yourself a bit and realize, that I said, I would change my pick based on what people thought. So I i will. I'll take the loss, it really doesn't matter. It's a game, made for, being fun, and only that. There's no reason to get riled up, a mere, can you please change that pick back, you went against your OWN word, would have been better. I was waiting to see what everyone else thought on this, they have spoke, I will update the stats later tonight. Sorry for the inconvenience, might as well give me a handicap 'cuz I'm still going to kick all your guy's asses. Muhahaha. ;) [smiley=letsmakeup.gif] |

Title: Re: How about another little game? Playoff Predict Post by StegRock on Jan 7th, 2003, 11:26pm KJ 76, thanks for comin' through on this! [smiley=thumbsup.gif] As for the way things are gone about around here, understand that I am trying to mold my fledgling forum and site in a way that will deter future deterioration. I tend to take a proactive approach to things, i.e. run a tight ship, and I think that is the best way to achieve one's objectives and ultimate success. Suffice it to say, I am not about fluff. There are certain precedents I want to set; particular patterns I want to encourage; all to meet a high standard I want to achieve here. So, I tend to elaborate. That is all that verbiage above really is. I just hope you are knodding your head right now, understanding whence I am coming, and game for wherever this thing might take us, and I mean that. I really do appreciate those of you who are contributing to this place now in the early going and will not forget that if/when this place really takes off. Besides that, I am a real evil bastard.

Title: Re: How about another little game? Playoff Predict Post by Walker_Boh on Jan 15th, 2003, 12:35pm Yo KJ76, how about an update? |

Title: Re: How about another little game? Playoff Predict Post by Keyshawn Johnson 76yards on Jan 15th, 2003, 3:57pm I'll update after this weekend's games. Even with the tiebreakers, there's still ties. So, I promise as soon as the playoff games take places this weekend, I will update you all with the standings. |

Title: Re: How about another little game? Playoff Predict Post by Walker_Boh on Jan 15th, 2003, 4:30pm Can you explain how the tiebreaker works? Thanks. |
||

Title: Re: How about another little game? Playoff Predict Post by Keyshawn Johnson 76yards on Jan 15th, 2003, 8:35pm I sum up the results of the game. Then, I sum up all the teams that correctly chose the winner. Whichever of the sums is closest, wins the tiebreaker. In case of there still being a tie(which has occured already) I take the team with the lowest amount of points subtracted. Er... lemme explain that. Let's say two teams picked the Raiders over the Jets. The actual score was 17- 21, the sum of that game is 45 points. Both teams sums equal 38 points. So let's say Teams A and Bs predictions were: Team A: Raiders 24- Jets 14 Team B: Raiders 28- Jets 10 The actual score was Raiders 21, Jets 17. So I subtract 24 into 21, I get 3. I subtract 17 from 14 and I get 3. The sum of those is 6 points. Same process for Team B. 2nd Tiebreaker: Team A: 6 points Team B: 14 points Therefore, the winner is Team A, who has the lowest sum. It's a bit complicated, and, I've gotten a tie, even after this. So, that's why I'm waiting until AFTER this weekends games. =) [smiley=yes.gif] [smiley=hellyeafunny.gif] [smiley=awwgee.gif] [smiley=checkin.gif] |

Title: Re: How about another little game? Playoff Predict Post by Keyshawn Johnson 76yards on Jan 20th, 2003, 3:35pm The Un-Official standings for now. Keyshawn Johnson76yards Un-Official Standings 1: Walker_Boh (8-2)* 2: Keyshawn Johnson76yards (8-2)* 3: Philly (7-4) 4: FourTwoOh (7-4) 5: StegRock (6-5) *Me and Walker_Boh have correctly predicted the two teams in this year's 2003 Superbowl. So me and him have played one less game then then everyone else. There is no chance of me and him tieing, so, the person with the correct prediction win's my little contest. =) * I think it is fairly obvious how I tallied up the scores. Though if there's any questions, feel free to ask. I told ya I'd be kicking all your asses. [smiley=yes.gif] |

Title: Re: How about another little game? Playoff Predict Post by Walker_Boh on Jan 20th, 2003, 4:41pm If Tampa wins, that means the Raiders lose. If the Riaders win, then I win the contest. Now the question is, which one is more important? Honestly, I hope I lose this contest. |
