Congratulations to Week 16 winner, Merlin1958 (12-4)

There is some bug in the ESPN contest. I made EVERY pick this week and yet it shows zero picks (thus all losses) I triple checked after my (correct) Thursday night pick showed me as not selecting.
Now It shows no picks for the early games today (thus all losses). I obviously somehow got screwed. If this is how it's going to be, then there will be no contest thread next year. I take this contest very seriously, and don't always win one of the first 3 places, but this "glitch" has cost me a chance to even be in third place.
It is thus a fraud.
This really does suck. I'm working offline with RF to see what we can do to resolve this week. If anyone else is having/has had issues with the site at any point this season, please let me know - and let me know if you found a solution. If the contest is going to move forward on the ESPN site, we need to develop some troubleshooting tips.

We will not announce an individual winner this week - pending the outcome of tonight's scheduled game. Prayers go out to Damar Hamlin and his family, friends, and fans.
Be well everyone.

Be well, Damar.

What a shocker. Hope he gets well.

Agree.

This is the last week folks! If you feel you're having ANY issues getting your picks in - especially those of you vying for a trophy, feel free to PM me your picks before the games lock on Saturday.

Next season I'm going to drop 2 blotters 8 hours before I make my picks. I can't do worse (unless my picks aren't recorded.)
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
The end is near!!!! Tomorrow (Sunday) offers 14 games - 14 points. Here are the contenders:
SkippyDO23 - 167-88
Merlin - 165-88
Rube - 160-95
Randall Flagg 157-92 (this is an adjusted score)
Divemaster - 154-101
Last place is pretty much locked in for BedOfRoses!
Good luck all!!!

I am submitting an official protest.
Had all of my picks been accepted (including a win from a few weeks ago that was dropped, I would be close to, if not third place).

It's absolutely unfortunate that ESPN dropped picks - it messes with our rhythm for sure. As I see it, considering the final picks of tonight's game, even with the consideration of the proof of picks you provided on Private Message (net 6 games), plus the missed game earlier in the season, RUBE still has a 1-game hold on third place.
If DT.org moves forward using ESPN (which I cannot imagine using any other platform), I think we'll add a disclaimer that the contest nor DT.org cannot be liable for any technical issues with the ESPN site.

Congrats to all the winners! And the Seahawks are in the playoffs--woo hoo!
I withdraw my protest.
Congrats to the winners-in particular Bill (Merlin1958) for 2nd place. I think this is the first year Bill Bender has finished in the top three.
Congrats Everyone.
A big thanks to Bill for organizing this event every year!!
Congrats to the winners…..
I made it to 4th this year so maybe next year is the one to get one of those nice trophies!

Feast or famine for sure, but I'm happy to have won the coveted Last Place Winner trophy this year! Hope you're well (and sorry to see the Seahawks lose yesterday).

Thank you once again Bill and BoR!
Alas Bill passed away today and will never be able to enjoy his trophy. Bill participated most every year and rarely did well. How sad that the first time he earned a trophy, he wont be able to enjoy it.
