I tried...I really did

October 30, 2007 by commish422

I made an effort to watch NBA...Its gonna be a long winter. Sorry NBA fans, your game is simply boring to me. I would rather watch paint dry!

...

In honor of halloween gonna type this in orange, that how bored I am after the opening game.

...

First, before we get the POD I want to thank all you loyal players this month. Tomorrow mrtruth will take command for November. Keep in mind he is a football guy! I will be back in December to bring this trainwreck through the New Year. The email address is the same   pod@nbx.com. As usual, please include your NBX username with your predictions. I AM STILL GETTING SOME WITHOUT THAT!

...

Tuesdays POD was Portland and San Antonio. Score ending with a Spurs V at 106-97 it was close between bstrds and diegohustla, but diegohustla wins with his guess of 105-91. 1 point off is great handicapping!

...

Halloweens pod is staying with NBA. Toronto and Philly is your mission.

mrtruth will handle the blog tomorrow and give you his usual insightful words of wisdom.

...

Remember if your doorbell rings tomorrow night, most likely its not a bill collectior. Treat the Trick-or Treaters well!

Gotta clean up this months business...so here we go

October 29, 2007 by commish422

First thing, lets clean up the MLB WS RUN Total winner. With a 4 game sweep, Red Legs score 29 runs and Rockies 10 for a total of 39. Guesses were all over the board, but nailing down point winners I have a 3-way tie. With Smartguy 12marty12 and his 38 runs, zorp4u and his 40 runs and jon with his 40 runs all three tie for last of October Classic points. As I stated, NBX is gonna toss a hat in for the winner, but I have yet to hear from the powers that be if 3 were part of the deal. Will post hat winner tomorrow.THIS LATE UPDATE>>> LINDA WILL GIVE ALL 3 OF YOU PLAYZA HATS. WITH THE NEW COLOR BEING ORANGE, CHOOSE FROM THAT Or THE OLD BROWN. SEND YOU MAILING ADDRESS ALONG WITH YOUR NBX HANDLE TO linda@nbx.com and she will hook you up! Never let it be said that I do not look out for you junkies!

...

Mondays game was MNF. With an overtime win, which should not have been that close, the Cheesheads win 19-13. Closest to this was smartass reproman. Now put it to good use bro!

...

With Tuesday being the tip-off of NBA I am shifting POD to that sport, activity. Yes junkies I am aware some of you think this the best thing since running water, but hey its my forum, at least untill Wednsday. So the activity of the day is Portland and San Antonio. Tell me the outcome and steal Lindas points.

...

Stay safe from the goblins Wed.

One season to close and another to take its place

October 28, 2007 by commish422

Of course that is the 1 sport the host CANNOT watch...NBA. Dont like it,dont follow it and can*t stand to watch it. Now when NCAA hoops kick in that I can watch.

Boston sweeps WS...that winner will be posted tomorrow..too tired to check tonight.

....

Sunday offered to you was 2 games to get fat for free. First game was one of the most boring NFL games I have had the misfourtune to watch this year, Raiders and Titans. Final score 13-9 Titans Wiseass cubasaurus scores. Second contest being the most lop-sided game yet this year Pats and Skins. In a yawner NE wins 52-7. No-one close, but close enough was Maximum Carnage. Nicely done you 2.

...

Monday gonna stay with NFL, that of course is the Packers taking on the Donkeys.  Tell me whats gonna happen here at pod@nbx.com

...

Peace till next time

Long day...but I STILL Love the ponies!

October 27, 2007 by commish422

Well After a 6am wake-up, 3 matches to ref and 1 to coach then off to the Breeders Cup its been quite the long day. Sure am glad Mrs Commish is so understanding! Love Ya!

...

Sad note on the Horses, I really love the Sport and Glamour of it all and really hate to see such a beautiful animal break down as happened in the Classic. As my dad raced cheap horses they do become quite attached to the owners. But I would much rather see then put down than pulling a M. Vick on his dogs.

...

Enuff...First play today the So. Carolina and Tennessee. Going into overtime the Vols pull this out 27-24

With a 3 way tie wiseguys kennyd41(FOR THE SECOND DAY IN A ROW) mobbaddest and dennisshocka scores a timely bonus.   WELL PLAYED! Send me a nice Bears line tomorrow.

...

Now as to the MLB PLay score ending with sox winning 10-5 Smartguy Zorp4u nails this one....Cocks or no bro nicely done!

...

Sundays 2 plays again, bothin NFL

First is Raiders and Titans. Maybe not the best match-up but there again its my contest.

Second is Redskins and the Pats. Can the Pats over their trap match-up...ring my email at pod@nbx.com and tell me

...

Later wiseguys...gotta sleep quickly!

Well BC almost choked but in the end prevailed

October 25, 2007 by commish422

14-10...What now with the BCS? The performance I watched tonight would drop them, but then again I am not a Pollster...and you know what the host feels about Polls.

...

If you happen to see wiseguy scottyxWINx on the boards tomorrow make sure to wish him a Happy BD. He feels at 32 he is getting old!!!! Wonder if NBX has a BD Present for him???? Naw

...

I need am email for joshbensh or your nbx handle so we can get squared away from last night!

...

Back to todays pod game coming closest to score was Smart guy cubasaurus. 10k your way.

Tickle my box and let me know what you think!

Host is jumping on Gogans post...why did the NFL

October 24, 2007 by commish422

Schedule a game in England? A major brain fart on the powers that are. Did NFL Europe not prove that Football is a US Sport? England cares about Soccer and Tennis...not American Football....Good luck on that one NFL!

...

Most of you regular POD players did not read my entire blog as tonights challenge was a 2 part question. But for those of you that did here are the World Series totals.

zorp4u-40, maximun carnage-71 mdriskell 54,12marty12 38, purplepeopleeater 55, tiebreaker sox joshbensh 115 tie breaker none, JON 40,Donamg 47 philly713-57, bstrds 53, scottywinx-54, and diegohustla 37.

Follow along as the series progresses. As I type this already 14 scored and only in the 6th.

...

Thursdays match-up is back to NCAAFB. Boston College Eagles and the VT Hokies. Send me a score wiseguys so I can fatten your Classic account...getting near the end of the month and it could help.

...

Almost forgot about WED Game. With the score currently 13-1 Sox no-one can beat Wiseguy joshbensh....You score bro!

...

Stay safe my junkies!

Lots of fun...many ways to score free stuff

October 23, 2007 by commish422

A serious note. As I was watching the evening National news tonight, things in SO. CAL. are getting really bad with the fires. Lets hope they get some rain to help contain these. I have only been to San Diego once and its a really neat town. I will take my chances with tornadoes here in the Mid-west..at least we get a warning...usually.

...

Tuesdays POD was an NHL game with the Rangers and Pens. Final score 1-0 Pens. Scoring 10k in Classic points are wiseguys JON and ...not sure if this an NBX handle or only an email but msmith12 also gets a free bonus.

...

As to my card....JON send me your address so I can get this to you.

...

Wednsdays game is of course game 1 of the MLB WS. If I need to name teams....you are not a sports junkie.....

...

Along with this game the host is offering another way to rape the free points. By the start of tomorrows gametime send me the total number of runs scored by both teams during the World Series.  This is for the entire series, not just game 1. The closest to this will net 10k in points and an NBX hat.

I will post guesses tomorrow. Tie-breaker for the hat is winner of the Series.

...

Have a ball wiseguys

Polls...are they worth anything????

October 22, 2007 by commish422

As i was reading the local fishwraps online sports section tonight, their POP UP POLL...only for readers enjoyment was....Is the BCS working? yes,no not sure or i have opinion....In the Hosts mind the answer is ....screw the polls...let the pollsters get a frigging job and games will be figured out on the field. After all NCAAFB D1 is all about the $$$$ or else there would already be a play-off system in place. Shit it works in EVERY other College sport...why is big -time football different?

...

Enuff from me

Mondays free point game AKA POD was Colts and Jags. With yet another tie wiseguys dom sr and califnik score 10k!...nice

...

Tuesdays play is back in the NHL with the NY Rangers visiting the Pitts. Pens. Host will toss in a nice insert card of Mike Modano who is only the leading American born points leader....at least he was. Will be a tie-breaker for the card. Its numbered xxx/ of 500. Your goal is to guess closest to the number to break a tie as there most likely will be some. For the NBX points...its one-tie all tie

...

Make sure to check in for Wed as I have got a nice twist for the MLB Series. Just a hint....think total scores.

...

Peace junkies

A long,windy weekend for the host but Im up for the task

October 21, 2007 by commish422

After a weekend on the pitch with over 75 youth soccer teams in a tourney, I am QUITE ready to regain some sanity. Now I know Soccer may not be a sport in some of you Wiseguys books, but after spending 15+ years involved Commish loves it!

...

Enough of my rambling...lets get back to why you tune in. Sunday was NFL Gameday. 2 Games to fatten up Classic points. With the early game the Pats continue on their roll with the final score of 49-28 over the fish . Closest score to this was subbmitted by Junkie scottyxwinx....Remember its always nice to share bro!

...

Second match-up was Sunday Prime-Time with the Broncos pulling out a game ending field goal making the score 31-28 Broncs. None of you smart-guys had the nuts, but coming closest was none other than smartguy JON......wtg BRO!

...

Mondays POD will remain with NFL with the undefeated Colts visiting the Jags....Might the Colts cover or yet another trap game......All of you tell me!

Tickle my email at pod@nbx.com!

...

Make sure you all check back for the MLB World Series as the host has an early Trick-or Treat for you!

...

I am gonna sleep like a baby tonight....stay safe!

Welcome to the PLAY OF THE DAY

The Play Of The Day is run by NBX player and Wiseguy commish422. Every day you have a chance to name the winner of a designated game and get closest to the points total. Do that, and you can win an extra 10,000 pts. Good luck!

Play-of-the-Day Rules

1. You must pick the winner correctly to be in the running for the 10,000 points. Pick the winner wrong and you are automatically out for that game.

2. Out of those that correctly picked the winner, the one who guessed the winning teams score closest to the real point total they had, whether it be over or under that total, is the winner.

3. If two or more people tie for the winning teams score total, it goes to the losing teams total score, with the same rules in effect.

4. If two or more people are still tied after going through the winning and losing teams individual score totals, the final tiebreaker is the total points scored. Closest to this total is the winner. If there is still a tie, we have a tie for the contest and mulitple winners.

5. There is to be NO WHINING about this contest. If you don't like the way that it is being run, you don't have to enter it. This is a contest that was started to be fun and give everyone a chance to get some extra points, so let's have it be that way.

6. The judge cannot be entered in the contest, nor does he care who wins or loses. There will be NO favoritism shown by him in this contest.

7. Do NOT ask the judge how many people have the game as the over or the under or how many people have taken one team or the other. All of these questions will be ignored. This contest is not to be used to help someone ascertain how to bet on a particular game.

8. Once you make your pick and send it in, don't even think of changing it. A bet layed is a bet played.
