		<description>FTR, with all due respect baylin &#039;retired&#039;... 
Supposedly. 

Since his retirement, He has come back a few times only to stick his tongue out at a few people. Saying in no certain terms &quot;I&#039;m better than you...&quot;

How can someone be shown respect, when obviously he only respects his point of view? 

His contributions certainly helped shape the blog into what it is today. What exactly were his contributions today? 
Or the day of Brian Dawkins retirement?
Or the day he named the bloggers that he respected?

Like I suggested to the blogfather then, I will again tonight- STAY RETIRED
Unless you have something to contribute to the blog....</description>

		<description>For the newbies you have to understand that three seasons ago I gave birth to this scoring contest, invented it from scratch, organized it, and ran it for three straight years with zero help whatsoever, it&#039;s like my baby, so beware if you are going to mangle it, LOL. Anyone who wishes to carry it on should be respectful enough of some of its merits. I used to organize bicycle races and golf tournaments for a living, making fun and entertaining competitions is one of the things I&#039;m good at and I&#039;ll just post here last year rules as an example to show you how fun and competitive this thing can really be if it is used up to its full potential:

The weekly score prediction contest rules:

1. You must post your score prediction for every Bronco game starting the day AFTER the previous game and ending the day BEFORE the game is played. Anything posted outside of that time frame will not be entered, no exceptions.

2. Each week, congratulations and points will be awarded to the top five closest to the correct score and the worse predictions will have the dubious non honor of being placed on our Wall Of Shame and will be made to feel the disgrace, LOL.

3. The points awarded will be as follows:

1st place 7 points
2nd 4 points
3rd 3 points
4th 2 points
5th 1 point
Entry onto Wall of Shame minus 5 points

4. Example of how points and places are awarded:

Last year Broncos Jets 20-24

Two way tie for 1st place:
WieminCA 17-27 prediction, 6 total points off actual score = 7 points
Baylinorcrush 20-30, also 6 total points off = 7 points also

3rd place (no 2nd place since there was a two way tie for 1st):
CarnageBronc 10-24, 10 total points off = 3 points

4th place:
MANDIEGO 17-34, 13 total points off = 2 points

5th place:
oldsouthstander 20-38, 14 total points off = 1 point

Wall of Shame:
ddk002, picking us to win 31-14, total disrespect for Rex, haha = minus 5 points.

5. You cannot place top five no matter how close you are points wise if you pick the wrong team to win.

6. At year end all points will be tabulated and we will get our new scoring guessing Champion of the year, the King of the Kingdom, i.e. the Ruler of Bronco Country, and we will also extend congratulations to bloggers finishing in the top 12 places, and brace yourselves Wall of Shame people, you will be made majorly fun of, you can count on that too, haha.

7. Remember, it’s all for fun and pride, no prizes, no affiliation with the organization, just a figment of my imagination, feel free to enter one week or all 16 and have some major fun doing so, many bloggers do, watch out for that Wall of Shame though, it can be a beatch, and by entering you agree to release me from any abuse I might throw your way, LOL.

Right now as is in Turtle&#039;s hands this contest doesn&#039;t have anywhere near the fairness, organization and competitive nature than it used to. And the funny part is when I called it quit a couple of folks were saying, no problems, I&#039;ll run the contest, it&#039;s easy. But you guys run it how you want, just don&#039;t be all bent out of shape when I attack the current formula, it makes no sense. I feel like my baby has been beheaded, HELP!  haha.</description>

		<description>Broncos Country:
I agree it’s a new contest with BT running it! And BT can run it and make the rules and as long as everyone understands his contest rules it’s up to who wants to join in based on those rules. After all he is putting in the time to run it and keep track (which is very difficult)!
 “What we have here is a lack of communications” We have a NEW contest that those who were posting their predictions based on the score thought it was like Bay’s rules. Witch I think is the better way to judge the winner based on the score of each team not total points! But what I think means squat!! It’s BT’s contest!

It’s like I paid $50 bucks to join a U Pick Um and I picked 9 correct but was only credited for 6 because I did not know I was picking vs. the spread! I did not know that because I did not read the rules! So be careful and know the rules before participating! 

We are all Bronco fans and have a very interesting mix of old and new posters! From Morten to Deburg to Jake the snake to Grease and then Elway fans that went on to be Tim Tebow Fans and now it’s Manning’s turn!

Do not come down on Bay!! He has more time here and is due his respect!! Some posters do not understand Bay cuz you were not here and are quick to judge him! I can tell you this he would never call anyone out with smart ass remarks! But he would go toe to toe with you if you had a good debate! 

Just saying from an old member of the Broncos Country!
ILMSDB!!!!
