American jingoism...

Did you know that soccer was the name that the entire world called the game when it originated? All sports not played on horseback at the time were called football because they were on their feat, the term soccer was coined in europe to further describe that sport some time later. Therefore, that's what it was called here until Europe switched back to football, but by that time American football had been invented so soccer stuck. Just like Australian rules football and rugby football, it was the name of the sport at the time so it stuck, if American football had been popular in Europe at the time the term never would have migrated back to "football" from "soccer" and people who like to take shots at all things America wouldn't be under the mistaken impression that the arrogant Americans decided to steal the name. In all actuality it's called soccer here because we were following Europe's lead, they just couldn't make up their mind.

And saying soccer pisses fans off

Congrats to @kirchhausen , who has (by my tabulations) wrapped it up already!

Interesting side note: when k9dr ran this the first time in week 15, the worst score was 12 points. With 1 game left to go the best possible score will be 12 points.

I am so glad that this wasn't the week I was in Vegas. I will be there next week, so It would be interesting to know who people like next week.

That's what I thought. Nicely done kirchausen. Please confirm which DB you want, and I'll get it in the mail.

For week 17, all participants should put something up. DB, sample set, single chip, whatever. Winner gets to pick which of the items he or she wants, only chosen after the winner is confirmed.

I like (and hope for) this. Because I lack any decent giveaway chips, and I will be in Vegas next week, I will offer a chip or chips from the south strip casino of the winner's choice.

Congrats. If you run next week I will follow directions better. And if you want everyone to put something up I will put up a Sample set of my Junior's Bourbon Hall Cash set.

Awesome, I wonder what I have laying around...

DB going out to the winner today. I forgot that I was supposed to offer a random player another button, so I took the column letters from the spreadsheet, minus F (kirchausen), and asked a co-worker via IM to chose one at random. She hasn't responded yet.

Posted next week's contest here - http://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/nfl-picks-contest-week-17.9349/

 

[brains613]

The first coworker didn't respond, so I messaged another.

@Forest@Farmington - You WIN! (Kinda fitting, I suppose.) PM me your address.

 

[Forest@Farmington]

PM on the way. I will follow better instructions this week. Thank you
