2024 Three Best Bets *FINAL*

[Softball Bat]

Fans, hit me up if I've made an error.
I tabulated rapidly, so it is entirely possible that I goofed somewhere along the line.

Biggie was outstanding for most of the season.
He faded some down the stretch, but held on for the victory.




Light up the see gar, Biggie.
You are a deserving champion!


A handful of y'all did very well this season.
I believe that as a group, we might have posted our best winning pct. in 3BB history.
Not sure, but it seems that might be the case.

It was fun to add some new blood this year.
And some of you newbies did yourselves proud.

Many thanks to all of you playahs!

And special thanks to Screw_Michigan for his important contributions to operating this nifty little game we have going on here.
Much appreciated!


I look forward to gettin' it on again later this year.

Peace, everyone...

[StrawMan]

Thanks for all your work running this, poptart! Thanks to Screwy, too.

I appreciate you convincing me to play, pops. I shit the bed towards the end, but it was still a blast playing.

You got me back into following the NFL after a 20 year hiatus. Many thanks.

BIG Ups to Biggie! Congrats on a great season!!

[Kluba]

I have a system.

Now that the season is over, I can reveal that my "system" was to follow kcdave's predictions in his roll call threads.

Great work, poptart. Thank you, sir.

[Roux]

Whoohoo, with my 4-0 week, I finished the season above .500.

Biggie =

Thanks to Smackie and Poptart.

[Troll#3]

Kudos to Biggie

Thanks to Screwy and Softball Bat





Now next year . . . .

Great work, poptart. Thank you, sir.

That'll rack. Well played.

[Softball Bat]

That is hilarious.

Rack Kluba!

[Biggie]

Oh yeeeeaaaahhhh baby!

It's a limited field contest where you are competing against strangers and there is no prize. But I really wanted to win it. I was choking hard and seriously considered taking a knee like (somebody) did in 2014, but ultimately decided that I'd rather be an idiot than that other thing.

This year was definitely the strongest year for the 3BBers as a unit. Well over .500 in the aggregate. Strong prognosticating, for most of us. But not all of us. Like Mahomes and the Chiefs O-Line coach, Jobs will have a long off-season to contemplate what went wrong.

Massive Racks to poptart for running the pool. It's a major time commitment, and both the lines and the updates were posted timely and accurately week after week. I vote for poptart to be the sole commissioner, with a lifetime appointment.

I'll join Roux in thanking Smackie, even though he hasn't posted in the NFL forum since 2023. All glory belongs to Tune Town.

Thanks for another great year of fun, boys.

[The Whistle Is Screaming]

Racks to our overseers!

Rack Biggie for the win!

When is the post season banquet? Will our participation trophies be ready this time?

Orcinis is almost done with them.




I appreciate poptart running 78.125% of the game and Screw...nay Smackie filling in on an occasion. Knowing how much work it is running the Masters Contest one weekend a year, the time commitment for 3BB is not lost on this grumpy oilfield trash. Rackee sai.

That is a bit of an exaggeration.

Our plan was for me to handle the first half of the season, and SM would handle the second half of the season.

SM contacted me before my first half duty was over, saying he was ready to take things over any time.


I think SM was "occupied" during the last month of the season.

I don't know his situation, but I do know that this board is not exactly real life.

Sometimes things are going on in real life that call for our attention to be diverted away from the board.

It was no issue for me to pick things up during the past few weeks.


We had another great season, and I believe Biggie and S. Jobs have both put up two championship banners.
Am I right about that?

2025 could be the season one of them hoists a third, or... maybe someone else will put the brakes on that.

Good times!

[Mikey]

I would have won if the refs weren’t biased. That guy got all the calls.

[Roux]

I'll join Roux in thanking Smackie

Shit.

Thanks to SM and Poptart for 3BB. And yes, to Smackie for TT.

[Rootbeer]

You won if you had fun!!
