NFL (2024 Season)

[webny99]

Well, I guess Baker Mayfield's "revenge game" doesn't look quite so bad after Russell Wilson's. At least Mayfield completed a comeback, even if they still lost. That was some atrocious end game management by the Broncos. A 64-yard field goal? That's just a few yards short of the NFL record, no way that has a higher probability than converting 4th and 5. The loss wasn't really on Russ but there are MAJOR questions about this coaching staff.

[Big John]

The Broncos paid a lot for Wilson, and have no faith on him to convert 4th and 5?

I wonder how much money was lost this past weekend. It's only week 1, but still.

Playing those results on a 16 Team Parlay? Would win some pretty serious bank were it to hit... Even better if 32-Way parlay with Spreads AND Totals for each game

Absolutely not. Though if I bet $50 on all of those scores hitting exactly and they all did, I would be set for life. Problem is, that's, like, really unlikely.

Want to join the competition? Fork the teams you think are going to miss the playoffs . . . Packers are quite a bold pick at this point.

Did I miss something? I figured the "fork"  usage was a substitute for another 4-letter word that starts with "f"  and ends in "k" ...

Guess I need to go back a few pages and read what this forking competition is

You "fork" a team (shortened from "stick a fork in") by declaring that they have no chance to make the playoffs. You get more points for being right the earlier you fork them, but you get negative points if a team you fork makes the playoffs.

All this time, I thought "fork" was a euphemism, even in the context of the forking competition.

I suppose you could call it a euphemism for "dead" and/or "cooked"... see here. (But not for the curse word, if that's what you meant).

Yep. The original discussion started here.

[triplemultiplex]

When a team is forked, they are definitely fucked, so I can see the confusion.

I somehow assumed fork(team) meant spawning a copy of it

The Good Place popularized this, because Kristen Bell's character said it all the time.

No love for the Dayton Triangles
