Om Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 First friendly reminder: We're off and running ... so don't forget to make your Week 3 Predictions. * Also, you still have lots of time (Opening Day is the deadline) ... but if you haven't seen it, and you're serious about winning "The Man" this year, make sure you check out the thread for predicting the number of Regular Season Wins the Redskins will have in 2002. The 10 Bonus Points that Trevor got for nailing the number last year proved to be the difference. Here's the Season Predictions thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_Clone Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Can someone explain to me how "The Man" contest works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Om Posted August 13, 2002 Author Share Posted August 13, 2002 Absolutely. This year the regular season Contest is going to be fully automated, but basically will operate the same as last year in terms of scoring, etc. During this preseason, we're running it just like last year's contest, only just for grins and bragging rights. By the way, this year's regular season winner will walk away with more than "just" the special "Man" icon and title for a year; there will also be a still-to-be-determined cash prize, and maybe some other goodies, as well. Food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golgo-13 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 who won last year? what did the icon look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Om Posted August 13, 2002 Author Share Posted August 13, 2002 Here's "The Man" in action. Check the 3rd post down. Trevor's worn the mantle well. Doesn't post all that much (I know if it was me, I'd have probably wracked up 3000+ posts by now ), and never made all that big a deal about it.

Nighthawk Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Well, my first thought was Joe Washington but this guy looks to tall to be him plus the picture's look older than when he played for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo-toni Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Benny Malone? LeMar Parrish? Joe Lavender? Charley Taylor? George Allen Jr?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Om Posted August 15, 2002 Author Share Posted August 15, 2002 A cheroot for MarkPSkins. Not for being correct on Herb Mul-key, necessarily ... for resurrecting the ExtremeBabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 OM - I was thinking the same thing... glad to see that sig back Did you get the email about the prizes? FTR, I always wait til the last minute to get my entry in... a lot of stuff can happen before kickoff... and I want to make an educated guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Om Posted August 15, 2002 Author Share Posted August 15, 2002 Got it, DH. Doing some shopping. Somebody is going to be a very happy winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfan44 Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Anyone who hasn't posted their "Regular Season Wins" yet, listen to Om and DO IT. I didn't last season and in another thread, I said that the Skins would go 8-8, but I didn't do it in "The Man" contest and if I did, I would have won.:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Om Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 I think I remember noticing that last year, brother. Tough way to go. Just wanted to mention again that the deadline for posting the Season Predictions is Opening Day, Sept. 8, so you do have time. Personally, I plan to watch the rest of the Skins's preseason games, as well as keep an eye on our opponents (injuries happen), before making my final call. But I won't wait until the last minute, either. Gotta leave wiggle room to account for the possibility of computer problems, orgies that run longer than scheduled (it happens), massive asteroid impacts ... that kind of thing.

Brave Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 It would be hard (huh?) to complain about missing out on the bonus points if you posted your season wins late due to an orgy running long (huh?). Trade offs to everything, my friend. And ... who schedules those things, anyway? I've always thought they were moments of serendipity. But what do I know ... I'm not Caligula.

Mad Mike Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 I'm thinkin' that's Charlie Taylor (damn, never can remember all of those numbers). Now I'm gonna go cheat and look it up, but I promiss not to post what I find.:halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Om Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 I don't really schedule them, Brave, so much as loosely "arrange" them. "So ... Ericka, Marianne, Chantall and Swan, you all show up, oh, 5-ish, okay? And plan to stay until dawn. The rest of you ladies – especially you, Heidi – you all just come when it feels right. Hee. And promise me you won't leave until I pass out the second time this week. I mean, I was grouchy all day when you all bailed early last Sunday. As for you "gentlemen" ... just make sure someone calls me in time to get my arse to the bar before kickoff. And order me a pitcher of Killians."

Om Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 MarkPSkins got it right earlier, Mike. It's special teams maven Herb Mul-Key. Along with Ted Vactor, a favorite of my childhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins57 Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 I agree with skinsfan44, make your season win total pick and don't forget. Also pay attention and don't miss any weeks, I didn't do week 1 and I lost by a stinkin point :shootinth If I remember correctly but I doubt I would have been close to 30-3 vs SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
