2018 Playoffs

CYST: Wildcard Weekend

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.

The playoffs are upon us ladies and gentlemen…and Shooter.  This is an exciting time for people like MiB, Adam, BSL, ASR and myself; a disappointing time for the rest of you suckers dumb enough to cheer for a shitty team.  Look at it this way, if your team isn’t in the playoffs, you can use this time to reflect on your life.  That should depress you even more.  However, before you get too down and take a bottle of sleeping pills, remember that the Vikings have an embarrassment of riches.

Not a lot of activity last week; looks like only 3 of you actually made picks.  I know I forgot to make mine, leaving the window open for BP to win this whole thing, but I don’t think he made any picks either, since he’s ded.  Sucks to be him…and the rest of you because I won regular season CYST, followed by BP in second place and Curtis in third.  Now starts playoff CYST and you really should take the time out of your busy schedule to make picks since at most, you’ll only pick 4 games a week.

  • None

The above only represents games that involved the NFCN or NFCS.  If you wish, the leader board for those who weren’t too “busy” to pick all the games is here.  I won that too.  This only contains those of you who actually scored a point in CYST.  Want to see your name here?  Do better and stop sucking.

 

YOU CAN SEE THE ‘ALL GAMES’ LEADER BOARD HERE!

 

Wondering why some of the names have a different background color?  Well, that’s because of a fantastic feature of 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.

No games tonight; but there are 2 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday.   You should just go make your picks now though so you don’t forget and pick all the games.  Playoffs CYST doesn’t separate NFCN/S games from the rest.  I know the site will say that you don’t have to pick the non-NFCN/S games, but that’s only because the owner of that site was too lazy to program in some logic there for when it’s the playoffs.  Really, get on over to the CYST site and make your picks before you forget.  Go, go make your picks.  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.

DON’T FORGET TO MAKE YOUR PICKS FOR THIS WEEK’S GAMES
