Shot Caller rolls on!!! Jeez, no lie. That was my lock of the year being pulled out on a back door cover! LOL

Got lucky there, got unlucky with Palmer being inactivated.

I am in 3rd and have plenty of action on tonight's game.

Good luck all.

Guys, just a reminder...I stressed at the beginning of this contest that I can't change any bets once they are in. It was brought to my attention that I do have the power to do that...But I've said in the rules that I can not change any games, and I'll have to stick with it.

My main reason was, I didn't want to have to delete picks from 90+ people on a Sunday morning if something drastic happens after bets were made, like a hurricane, major snow storm, etc...

I've already told 2 people that I can't change their bets, so it wouldn't be fair to change anyone else's for any reason. It would most likely be written in RED on the section that says "picks made"...It would probably say "pick deleted"...But we're not going to do that. Not this year, or next. I don't mind doing the leg work getting the pool together, but I'll have to leave this rule as is...

I know Carson Palmer not starting this weekend came TOTALLY out of the blue, but try and place your wagers as close to gametime as possible.

Good luck guys...

P.S...Is that ME in 2nd place?

Yeah I wait till about 10 mins before game time before placing my bets.

Nice start Diesel!

I wish this contest was over today as it will be tough to maintain my first place lead....as the payouts for this contest are sweet!!!
