The only double standard is I don't usually call people out publicly.   Many people you reference have probably at one time or another have had a post edited / deleted or given a warning.
A distilled definition of trolling is basically posting **** for the sole purpose of getting a reaction out of other people, and when they get that reaction, they complain about ad hominem attacks.
When you do get to the point of being a more blatant troll, then you will get the same warnings mentioned above.   Until then, keep doing what you are doing, or don't.  Up to you.
Cheers.

This is a forum.  For discussion.  That’s twice now you ask people why they are “interjecting”. When you post, you should expect people to reply and discuss.  

I am honored to even make the list at all, simply showing up means something...
I thought I was doing well this year and got picks in every week then week 19 or 20 happened, too much life got in the way and I missed the week. Better than usual as I often have 2 or 3 bran fart weeks in which I forget.
Rich, Thanks again for hosting this board and sending me the invite when you started it up.

I have all the Pick 'Ems spreadsheets going back to 2016 (the pick 'ems before that were run on a forum extension that stopped working, so I don't have easy access to that data).   So, compiled a few stats from those years:

This also means that depending on how @MOBomberFan picks in the remaining three games this year, he could set the record for the most picks and best correct percentage of all recorded years.  He currently sits at 68 picks for 81.93%.  Next best is @bigg jay in 2019 with 69 correct for 80.23%.
I included winning percentage as it gives an indication of consistency in correct picks and it was also a shortened season in 2021 with 69 games instead of 86.

This also means that depending on how @MOBomberFan picks in the remaining three games this year, he could set the record for the most picks and best correct percentage of all recorded years.  He currently sits at 68 picks for 81.93%.  Next best is @bigg jay in 2019 with 69 correct for 80.23%.
I included winning percentage as it gives an indication of consistency in correct picks and it was also a shortened season in 2021 with 69 games instead of 86.

Thanks to everyone for playing over the years!

BC sucks!!!!

Weather looks to be above normal, chance to head to the Grey Cup on home soil......LETS ****** GO!!!!!!

I think @MOBomberFan should get 3DN's award voting privileges this year.  Their best guesses are far behind at 57 correct picks, not even good enough for a spot in the top 10 here.  No wonder Bluto makes his bets based on the MBB picks. 😂
 

Thanks for looking after this Rich. Goddamnit I was in the hunt for most of this year but fell off late. Sonsabitches.

With @MOBomberFan 3 picks ahead of @TBURGESS and 3 games left in the season, @TBURGESS would need to pick all 3 remaining games correct and hope @MOBomberFan gets all wrong to tie.
Picks this week need to be in by Saturday @ 2PM
