How on earth do they remember all this in a dynamic fast moving game like football. It's no wonder that this group of Officials are comprised of some very successful people with prior and current demanding careers. In other words, they would have to be scoring pretty high on the wonderlic test as well as being multi-taskers.

Excellent, Al!

When you mentioned Runyon being named the second most dirtiest player by peers it reminded me of the saying, "We teach what we must learn."

I read once that he actually was able to see the spin on the laces of the ball so he knew when a breaking pitch was coming.

Belmont Results

Jolly = No entries = 0 points
Cid = No Entries = 0 Points
Whales = -50
4Ever = No Entries (Late Entry) 0 points
Terry = No Entries = 0 Points

Final Standings

Jolly = 60 minus 0 = 60
Cid = 60 minus 0 = 60
4Ever = 30 minus 0 = 30
Whales = 50 minus 50 = 0
Terry = 0 minus 0 = 0

Combined tie breakers for Jolly Blue Giant  :ok: and Cid in Dupont  :ok: are equal with 3 place and show totals. So it's a tie for the winner. Congratulations!

I picked in consideration of rain. Of course I was disqualified. As is anyone past the Deadline.

So the picks are locked and I like the strategy of leading without a pick in the Belmont. Good luck and I'll unlock this thread and untack it.

Still waiting for 4 other picks by noon today. Anyone can put their picks in but only the members who put in their Derby picks qualify for the Triple Crown Contest.
