    No seriously though, great season guys, this was fun. Not as fun as if I had won both picks games but I guess I'll settle for 3rd and 2nd places.... until next year that is. Thank you @SmootyGator for doing this.... ps: my ol lady is happy its over, says don't pay her any attention while I'm trying to sort out my picks in my head lol

    I think @SmootyGator ran a GREAT contest that we all enjoyed and so many will be looking forward to also play next year.

    Thanks Smooty!

    Congratulation Smooty. I gave it a run the last two weeks of picks but came up short. 50 points was still good.

    Thank you for hosting the game and look forward to next year.

    One more thing... I will be making one more post in the next week or so. I have a few ideas about next year that I want to throw out there. Also, I want to allow some feedback and suggestions on things that might make things better for next year's contest. I'm not planning any kind of major overhaul or anything, but a few tweaks might not hurt. Stay tuned.

    Bring it! I lose no one to the draft, no portal transfers, and my team was young this year. I'll be even stronger next year! :cool:

    That was fun Smooty. Thanks for the time and effort.
    Hard to believe I did so well picking winners but was almost dead last in pick average. Guess what my wife has been telling me all these years about needing to get my priorities in order may have merit.
