I Love Bowl Season...hate the delayed halftimes.

December 31, 2007 by commish422

Cant have it all I guess. Nothing to rant on tonight, just reflecting on what the past year brought. Quite frankly, and I know this is Passe but the New Year HAS GOT TO BE BETTER!

...

OK make sure to send me a Score on the POD for Tuesday...The Sugar Bowl with Georgia and Hawaii.

Good luck!

...

On the 2nd Bowl contest, the closest score submitted for the MARGIN OF VICTORY was send in by ScottyxWINx....A case of old style and 10k for you sir!

...

For Mondays POD with THE CLASH OF THE TIGERS, getting closest to the result again VIA the Tie-Breaker was DICKWEED bstrds. 10k coming via Pony Express to you sir.

...

Again If any on you are interested in hosting the POD contest, please let me know. As things stand now, I am on duty until Jan 31. I enjoy this, but I also would like a CO-Host that we could trade  months. Its not really time-consuming, main quailification is you gotta be a sports junkie and have a CPU. Send me an email if interested.

...

Peace, and the next time I get on here I will turn a year older...where does the time fly?

Hockey outside could be neat...but in Buffalo?

December 30, 2007 by commish422

Jan 1st the NHL will make its nationwide TV debut with an outdoor game in Buffalo. I like this idea, as I grew up playing hockey outside. Can't skate a lick now, but anything to expose this is awesome, at least in my mind. Tune in...should be pretty cool. My only question is will the Zamboni driver be able to see the rink with the expected snow and wind?

...

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT...MRTRUTH RETIRES FROM POD! DUE TO HIS UPCOMING WEDDING WISEGUY MRTRUTH WILL NO LONGER BE A CO_HOST on the POD. APPLICATIONS ARE BEING ACCEPTED! Note...I will continue through Jan. but if no-one steps up to run  this at a month to month basis, THE POD might just be dropped. Drop me a line if you have interest! You know the address or use my email at commish422@yahoo.com. Truth will continue his RAMDOM TRUTH BLOG so look for that!

Sunday's POD was a close call in both. Winning the NFL contest via the tie-breaker was gjecat.  Dam the tie breaker Maximum Carnage...Next time sir.

NCAA FB was nailed on the NUTS at 30-24 TIDE by cubasarus.  10K coming for the both of you!

...

I must correct myself from last nights blog on the College Bowl Contest as it seems my math was terrible. FOR 12-31, a seperate contest for 10k will be....USE ALL NCAAFB GAMES ON 12-31. What I want is the difference in scores. As My example was if team ABC wins 34-10....the difference is 24...NOT 14. Total up what you feel the Combined WINNING MARGIN WILL BE and fire me that.

Sorry for the confusion!

...

The regular POD for Monday is the Chick-Fil A Bowl with Clemson and Auburn. Would someone please tell me just what the hell a Chick-Fil -A is??? My Refrigerator Box has never seen one!

...

Best of luck!

Did you get your bets in Saturday? If not

December 29, 2007 by commish422

Please do not feel alone. Send a note to support@nbx.com, not my POD email as I am no more that a bad blogger here, I have NO power to correct errors within the NBX website, nor am I a Paid Employee. As this has become a weekend event here at NBX, perhaps it's time they look at the servers they use. Sorry NBX, but I am as frustrated as are all NBX'ers. Games not posted to bet, scores not updated, error issues and the like are just not acceptable even for a FREE SIGHT! How can I in good faith promote this site when  things will not work???

...

Not to forget the NFL Pats, as they somehow pulled off the win tonight, ending the season 16-0. Gotta give mad props to them...cheaters or not{and Im not yet convinced they did anything different than any other team}. Can they topple the egotistical 72 Dolphins??? I hope so, as I was having my coffee this morning ESPN had Shula and Morris on Game-day down-grading the Pats....TURN THE FUCKING PAGE GUYS....YOUR DAY HAS COME AND GONE! Can't wait for all the shit to fly during the playoffs.

...

For what it;'s worth the first winner of Saturday's POD was extreme469.  His score in the UCF/MISS. ST game was closest in this Bowl fiasco. Second game Saturday was a game not posted by NBX, that being Penn St and Texas A and M. As you most likely had a winner I think all of you Junkies should get a 10k bonus, but thats not in my power. So the winner was  dream1er....about time!

...

Your Sunday POD will be first in NCAAFB with Colorado and Alabama.

Second will be back in the NFL using Dallas and Washington. Pick wisely!

...

The second NCAA FB BOWL CONTEST STARTS ON 12-31. USE ALL COLLEGE FB GAMES AND I NEED THE WINNING MARGIN OF ALL TEAMS. IF A MATCH IS 34-10, MARGIN IS 14 FOR THAT GAME. Easy Stuff, If you have not played and want to send me a seperate email with your guess.

...

If the host seems a little pissed...go to the head of the class...Tomorrow will be a better day!

Texas A and M Officials say sorry

December 28, 2007 by commish422

It seems that a member of the A and M Yell Squad mocked Penn ST Joe Paterno by telling the crowd at a pep rally that the 81 year old coach needs a casket, and was on his death bed. All in good fun when you are college age, but thats really over the line. Whats next, sending a Jenny Craig Diet to the KSU football coach?  Now I could find the humor in this if the YELL Squad member questioned JOPA's eyesight...I mean come on you have all seen those popbottle glasses he wears. Or even his choice in clothing, but this was over the edge....

...

Fridays POD was the Emerald Bowl, with Oregon State somehow winning 21-14. Nearest score was sent in by NBX wiseguy zorp4u.  Timing is everything...well done!

...

Saturday I have 2 games to get fat on. First is the Alamo Bowl, featuring the afore mentioned Penn ST and Texas A and M. Second is the Liberty Bowl with Central Florida and Miss. St.

Bet well!

...

Over/under on Bowl announcers using the word TRICKERATION is currntly at 67....and moving daily.

NFL SHOWES IT's Teeth, SAPP FINED 75k

December 27, 2007 by commish422

The NFL issued a 75k fine to the Raiders DT Warren Sapp today for his confrontation last week. As I have watched MR Sapp his entire career, I must admit that I am quite surprised that he still has a job. The man is a walking TIME_BOMB! Gotta wonder if he has ever been tested for Roids? This is by no means his only fine, as he was nailed with a 50k one when he was with Tampa.  Raider Naition...REACT!

...

Thursday's POD was the Holliday Bowl, and the Longhorns od Texas really smoked the Pac-10 AZ. ST Sundevils 52-34. None of you Dickweeds were close to this score, but comining near enough was Maximum Carnage for 10k.

Friday Im gonna stick with College Bowls and useMARYLAND AND OREGON ST.

Win or lose...its all for fun. I really hope you all remember that!

Scores to pod@nbx.com

PEACE!

NFL Says NO MAS to Congress

December 26, 2007 by commish422

In an announcement earlier today, the NFL said that the New England, NY Giants will be televised for the entire Country to see, not just those that have the NFL Network. Will you watch...I know I will. I have now changed my tune and am rooting for the undefeated season. Will it happen? I now give the odds at better that 5-1 in favor.

...

With the After-Xmas POD being in the NHL, just because the Stars are in fact one of my favorite teams and its my forum the Stars and Wild played a Wild game, with Dallas kicking the Wild 8-3. As usual with hockey, there was a tie for the NBX Bonus, that being that godevils2001 and extreme469 score 10 k for their Classic account. As to my personal bonus, Via the tie-breaker GODEVILS2001 secures 2 Rookie cards of future Hall of Famers. Send me your mailing address and Ill get them out to you!

...

Think Football, as the POD will be loaded with it for the next week. For Thursday the game is the only Bowl game, that being Arizona ST and the Texas Longhorns. Talk to me on the score at pod@nbx.com.   Can't wait for the Spam emails tomorrow as every time I mention the email address I get lots of those....DID you know that a wealthy single woman in BURMA is trying to locate me so I can collect over 5 Million US Dollars??? Ok was born at night...just not with-in the last night!

...

Study up on NCAA BOWLS, as my second Bowl contest will involve ALL games on the 31st. What I will be looking for on this one is not total points, but MARGIN OF VICTORY. For example, if Team ABC wins by 17 over TEAM XZY, that total is...DUH!!! 17

Games listed tomorrow, but if you want to be early, just Cap the New Years Eve games and send me a SEPERATE EMAIL with your total.

...

CIAO!

I hope you had a great holiday as thats the last time I say it!

December 25, 2007 by commish422

Am I upset..hell no as I love them to Death but sometimes the DOOR needs to be opened! ALL was well until the 2 yr old grand-nephew screwed with my CPU...Shit Im still figuring this machine and the STUD showed me some neat COMPUTER-ART...HOW THE HELL DO I ERASE THIS SHIT??????????

...

Anyway I hope you had a great day, and It looks like Business as usual come Wednsday as far as NBX goes. But to answer the burning question you all have the winner of the Xmas POD, featuring the NBA Sonics and Trailblazers is none other than  NBX dude cubasaurus.   Enough sir...you are 2 good!

...

THE POD for WED will revert to the host"s favorite sport, the NHL. As per my custom, I have a personel bonus for the winner. Match-up is MIN WILD and Dallas Stars....TIE Breaker is shots-on-goal for THE WINNING TEAM ONLY! Thats for MY bonus only. Include the tie-breaker please!

...

I know I mentioned a New NCAA FB BOWL CONTEST, and I am not yet Brain-dead...that will be included in Tomorrows Blog...Again PLAY OR NOT...Its always your choice as the Host gets paid the same regardless!

Twas the Night before Christmas, and all through

December 24, 2007 by commish422

My house, all the people are stirring, and even our mouse....Enough of that. As I type this, the NBX ELF is in action for all of you loyal players that sent in a POD score today/tonight. Can't say who was naughty or nice, nor do I care, but on behalf of mrtruth, myself and the Entire NBX Staff please check your Classic Account tomorrow. This is our way of saying Thanks for playing the POD. As the next week are meant to spend with Loved ones, I truly hope that all of you Junkies take advantage of this...I know I will!

...

For all of you living in the Midwest I hope you weathered tha latest Storm, as it was brutal in the Mid-west. If you are like Commish  and missed the brunt of it, count your blessings. If you are mired in ice and snow  SEND NBX LINDA a note as she is spending this week in HAWAII. Guess there is a reason she's the boss!

...

On top of the NBX bonus there was also a regular POD for 12-24, that being the only play on the NBX Board. In a NFL match-up with the Chargers and Broncos. A side note...did I reall see Rivers Jaw-jacking Jay Cutler....Yep fershure did...Anyway score in this was Chargers 23-3. And the winner of 10K was NBX wiseguy dennisshocker.Nicely done!

...

The Christmas sports day is another slow one, but The POD is In NBA Roundball, featuring the Seattle Supersonics and the Trailblazers of Portland. I need a score prior to tip please.

...

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Tennis anyone?

December 23, 2007 by commish422

Yes I am quite aware that Tennis isn't a sport offered on NBX. BUT The ATP has chosen to sanction 2 Italian players for betting on matches. Pottico Starace was suspended for 6 weeks and fined 30,000..all over 5 bets for a total of $130.00 2 years ago. Daniele Bracciali was banned for 3 months and fined 20,000 for bets as little as 7.00 from 2004-2005. I applaud the ATP for policing their organization..this will make big  in-roads into the Cheating scandal involving Pro Tennis...Right! Losers...get real!

...

Sundays POD winners are in the NFL, Saints and Eagles was Maximum Carnage.   He again secures the win. IN THE NCAA FB GAME....WINNER IS...THE HOST as all of you punters had Boise ST winning. SORRY!

...

MONDAYS POD Is MNF, with the Broncos and the Chargers. Send me a score!

...

Tune in Tomorrow, as i will post the second NCAA Bowl contest.

Shop quick!

Not much to rag on...so straight to the point tonight

December 22, 2007 by commish422

After spending most of the afternoon Xmas shopping Commish has'nt got the energy to rant on sports tonight. Have I ever mentioned how much I enjoy shopping....Hell I had a better time getting a root-canal. Let's get straight to biz

...

Saturday's first POd was the New Mexico Bowl...won by Drum roll Please....New Mexico 23-0. Just a terrible performance by Nevada...but then Nebraska beat the snot out of them. Coming closest to the score  was Maximum Carnage. More free points in your stocking sir!

The second contest was the Las Vegas Bowl, BYU and UCLA. A more enteraining game won with a blocked field goal with no time was BYU at 17-16. With the closest guess, and they were all over creation was Cubasaurus.  See above for your bonus!

...

Saturdays Vegas Bowl also brings to a close the First of my College Contests. Total points scored in the 5 selected Bowls was 245. Coming closest to this with a total of 258 was wiseguy dream1er for 10k in free points. The second contest will be put out Monday, and it will have a different concept.

...

Sunday as usual I have 2 games for you junkies. First is in the NFL with the Eagles and the Saints. Second will be the Hawaii Bowl featuring East Carolina and Boise ST. Pick well.

...

Keep tuning in, as I can hear the NBX Elf getting ready for Tuesday!

Commish

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.
