S's and G's NFL Contest

Man, I sort of forgot I even operated this website. I think it still looks pretty good. Aesthetically appealing. Aesthetically appealing was actually my nickname in High School. In ham Schmitmeyer since I’ve last posted: I have gotten a job and moved back to Columbus, Ohio. Bully for me! That’s about it. I’m pretty much the same guy, only slightly fatter, but I’m pleased to say that my hairline is still really hangin in there.

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the NFL will be back this year. Maybe you’ve also heard of the Las Vegas Hilton Supercontest, or maybe not. It goes like this ⇒ as soon as the NFL spreads are released each week, the spreads are posted on the Supercontests website. Then, everyone who has paid the entry fee selects five games against their respective spreads. This continues every week throughout the entire 17 week NFL schedule. At the conclusion of the regular season, the individual(s) with the highest win percentage wins a shit-ton of money. Last year, the winner took home over 200 G’s, I think. It sounds really fun and I’ve always wanted to play in it, and by “always,” I of course mean, “since I’ve heard of this competition last season.” The catch is the entry = $1000, so homey can’t play that. I decided that since I have this website available, we could play the game here. Only on my website, it would be the “shits and giggles” version, where there is no entry fee or winnings. This is better for me since I am currently monetarily challenged. Many people I know are also struggling with this affliction, which is emotionally painful and as embarrassing as halitosis.

I think I would get enjoyment out of running this game and would not actually participate besides collecting the spreads and posting weekly picks, results and standings.

Here’s how it would work.
I will find the spreads as early as possible and post them to my website by Monday. Although spreads move throughout the week on gambling websites, they will remain constant during the individual week. Everyone will be required to email me their FIVE picks against the spread by noon on Sunday (Thursday games will be tossed out save Thanksgiving week). Actually, I’m not sure how I’ll do this yet, it’s still up for debate. If one does not send their pick by the cutoff, they will go 0-5 that week. The winner will have the highest win percentage after week 17. Ties will be tossed out, so they will not help your win percentage but they will also not hurt it. You will be required to open-mouth kiss your sister on the lips when this happens or you will suffer immediate disqualification, or death. Basically, a 3-1-1 week becomes 3-1; the total added to the balance of the season. I think this could be really fun and I want to gauge interest, so please get in touch with me somehow and let me know if you’d be down to clizzown.

p.s. if you entered into this with a group of friends, I could not possibly stop you from betting amongst yourselves. I’m not strong enough. Just know that I will not be in charge of any felonious activities.

I refuse to proofread this.
