Congrats to all the winners, and to those who missed out - hang on tight for there are more wildcards to come.

Judging was not easy in many cases.

Great to have so many entries to choose from, though - well done all-around.

 

[Blue-Kun]

Woo-hoo! Go figure the first entry I did on that thread ended up the funniest.

League 7 works for me, if there are any spots left. Otherwise, 10, 5 or 1, in that order. Would like to draft earlier if everyone agrees.

#23 - Goodell to Retire as NFL Commissioner, to be Replaced by Brett Favre (Couch Potato)

Thank you. It's gratifying to have qualified.I'm afraid I have to withdraw my name however. A critical family medical situation has developed that may need me to disappear from here at a moment's notice and be gone for an unknown period of time. I'm afraid I'll be unable to commit to any date for a league because of this uncertainty. I apologize for not withdrawing sooner. With all that's been going on with the medical situation, I'd forgotten about the contest until now.

Thanks man. Unfortunately, at this point we're likely looking at an ending rather than improvement. It's why my being away for a few days is likely but the timing of is unknown.

Hey CP, I can help you in the draft if you might not have computer access and want to try to stay in. As long as we are in separate drafts, I can help you out. It is only one night so shoot me an email if you re-consider. I know what it is like and did not know if you might need a diversion.

I really appreciate the offer Jeff. Best to let in the next guy on the fake email contest list though. Dad is likely to pass in the next week or two, and if that happens I'll be busy with a lot of things since I have power of attorney and am executor of his estate. With my job here, the leagues I commish, rookie drafts coming up in other leagues, my dad's affairs and the travel back and forth to his town, that's enough. I'd better just skip the FBG thing this year. And honestly, right now I'm feeling kind of down and not really into doing it anyway.

Of course, you guys need to know I would have dominated you all if I'd stayed in.

Congratulations to the winners, the class of comedy.

I humbly offer my body of work for the Wild Cards.

Caption 1

One of you has to go, Drinen hard copy stats or the FBG love child.

Caption 2

If Ronnie Brown isn't ready to go, we know where to find Ricky Williams.

When I kick in the NO2, the man won't even catch my donkey brand.

Caption 3

You should see what he's sportin' under the water...and you know what they say about ducks with big feet.

Momma Duck never suspected it was a decoy...until the lead started flyin'.

Objects may be closer than they appear.

"Cancel the Presidential Christmas dinner, we won't have to feed Bill & Hillary."

or

"Duckland, it's a kinder, gentler, detention center with no rights on the water."

Neverland escape pod.

24hrs, 7days a week, I can't stop thinking of captions for this freakin' duck.

Is Glorious Nation's Navy.

Caption 4

Bloom mobile, powered by sounds of FBG EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I'll rule with this car and 1st prize: Lifetime subscription, FBG Hoodie, FBG hat, FBG duffle bag, FBG shirt + $500 cash

Fake Email Contest

Brett Favre to Play in All Green Bay Packer Games

Source: Brett Favre, Self-proclaimed Awesomeness

Brett Favre will return the NFL to play for all Green Bay Packer opponents. When asked how he would learn all those offensive systems, he replied "They will learn the Brett Favre system." Brett Favre commented on the teams he would be playing for. "Chicago beat me all the time. You know what they say, if you can't beat 'em... Minny will be fun, run Berrian, run because the ball is coming. Detroit will give me less time, but I'll just chuck it down the field 2 seconds after the snap. Atlanta, same thing. Tampa Bay, I think I can upgrade dirt, Tennessee I can bring from pretender to contender in one game with just the TE, New Orleans will see so many fast passes it will seem like Katrina is back, Dallas can just have its QBs sit back with their girlfrends and watch the show. Seattle will see a game with all receivers catching passes, even the handicappable ones, Carolina, Houston, Jacksonville I'm going to win throwing shuttle passes, and that kid in Indy isn't better than me, because everyone knows I'm better at winning than everybody." Brett Favre was also quoted as saying "I could get more chicks than Brady, Montana wears Brett Favre Pajamas, and he doesn't really care for cheese." Rumor also has it he is considering being the commissioner too and playing for both superbowl teams. Madden 10 will feature Brett Farve on the cover...as all the teams QBs...and cheerleaders.

We think Brett is looking to spread his cult for 2012 elections. A Madden Favre ticket.

Who picked the winners?



What did they base the winners on?

If we laughed. In all seriousness, a panel of staff were assigned each contest distinctly. We each nominated people independently and then narrowed it down from there. Also keep in mind that many people submitted entries for multiple contests. In the event someone was in the running for multiple categories, we gave them one spot, and went on to the next person.

Also keep in mind that this is a subjective thing. I was a judge for several of the contests and can tell you that this wasn't easy. There were a ton of laugh out loud captions and while we agreed unanimously on a few in each, there were some that missed out I'm sure each of us felt deserved to make the cut.

The good news is we're paying close attention to those people who either almost made the cut but fell short and/or submitted a lot of entries (i.e., gave it the old college try). Effort will be a factor in determining the wild card entries for sure.

very surprised that no one laughed at the mad crapper works for charmin fake email enough to get it in. Oh well. I think these are won before they are even played out. There is an inner circle of posters who are very well liked here and if your not in it you don't stand much of a chance of winning anything on this board and its been that way for a long long time. If your known and liked around here then all you have to do is submit and your in and if its the other way around and you are new or unknown don't even think about winning anything. No matter what anyone says about this i have read this board long enough know this is the truth.

I'd have to disagree there actually. I'm not a very prolific or high-profile poster on here but I was able to make it in. I think with a contest like this it's as much subject to the sense of humor of the judges (my more snarky entry won out over my more subtle and droll one). I actually felt like if I didn't make it via the fake news category that I might get a wildcard based on at least making an effort in all 5 contests. Anyhow, good luck with the wild card, you're not out of it yet!-QG

:( i have been lurking around here since day one, but i only make about five to ten posts per year. i am quite certain that i'm not known, liked, or disliked. the guys that run this place, starting from the top down, are pretty top notch imo. there is definitely a level of subjectivity involved in this type of judging, but i was pretty happy they took the time to put something like this together and open it up to all of us! i hope you stick around, continue to participate, contribute now and then, and get something out of these boards, i know i do. -FEDERAL

As a regular year yound reader and frequent poster, I can honestly say 30-40% of the winners are NOT regular posters.I'm still hoping to get in as an at-large, which was originally put forward as being for active normal contributors, but if I read Jason right above, might be inaccurate?
