CYST: Week 3

Analysis Opinion Picks
Website | + posts

I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, sittin' on the porch with my family, singin' and dancin' down in Mississippi where I learned the three rules of life: Lord loves a workin' man; don't trust whitey; see a doctor and get rid of it.

Howdy Doody boys and girls, or whatever you ‘identify’ as this week.  The early season overreactions are in full swing; Packer fans are melting, Falcon fans are soaring (get it, soaring?  Falcons?  Man, screw you guys), Bears fans are committing seppuku so on, and so forth.  We have some interesting games this week with Atlanta visiting Detroit, New Orleans taking a road trip to Carolina and Tampa Bay pulling in to Minnesota.  No matter the outcome of those games, there will be LOL’ing on FYS.  The Bears and Packers are playing some AFC teams, so we don’t really care about that.

 

There was a bug in my code that was counting some games as ‘against the grain’ when they shouldn’t have been and awarding points that shouldn’t have been awarded.  The code has been fixed and the leader board is now correct.  Normally, I don’t like bugs in my code, but when fixed, this correction knocked LKP out of sole possession of first place, so I’m okay with that.  Fluke points no more!  Ready to find out of you did last week?  Well, continue reading (Southies may need to ask for help with this).

The above only represents games that involved the NFCN or NFCS, because some of you are too lazy to spend an extra 14 seconds picking the rest of the games.  However, some of us are not bitch bois, and we pick all the games.  In doing so, ASR nailed it (and your mom) by predicting the Arizona Cardinals would topple the Indianapolis Colts by a score of 16-13.  Maybe y’all should say something nice to him, or not.

 

Wondering why my name has a different background color?  Well, that’s because I’m better than you.  That and because I added a feature to the CYST site.  If you click on My Account on the top right of the CYST site (when you’re logged in), you will see my todo list for that page, but also a color picker.  If you choose a color there (and click update), that color will be the background on the site in tables where your name appears.

 

We have a game tonight.  I know it’s not an NFCN or NFCS game, but ASR’s triumph should have inspired you to pick all the games.  How do you get to the site so that you can pick games?  Well, that’s a good question.  If only there was a uniform resource locator in the form of a hyperlink.
