So, perhaps luckily for some, this never really got off the ground this year.  Kudos to all those who wagered their TPs, but we're not going to hold anybody to this this year.

That's not to say that the season is over, but if the worst happens, nobody has to worry about their TPs being zeroed out.  (Much like last year, though, that's kind of the least of everybody's worries, I know.)



Funny story....actually I just read this, after taking away everyone's TP's (who actually wagered them).

So um...yeah. If you're outraged...sorry?



 ;D
Yup

IP...I just noticed that you have -15 TPs.  How did you do that?  Reverse mortgage?

When I was setting the TP counts back to 0, I decided to give myself -17 just for funsies.

No biggie, lost 'em fair and square. Or maybe I lost them cause of the Perkins trade :p

OK, IP.  I found it. I am not...let me find the right words...ticked off...but after taking my thousands of TP's you deserve to lose more than 17 extra...er, wait a minute, forget I said anything...it was just a small fib...They don't understand the real value of TPs at the gas station, anyway.  The still make me pay real money.  Actually, they don't understand they value of real money, either...  :'(

Ouch! 2,556 and nothing to show for it ... reminds me of the property taxes in Gorham, Maine! :o :) ;D
Bahku, I have been sitting here with a huge smirk on my face because I have more TPs than you.  Somehow that doesn't seem right though, so I am giving you "one"   ;)  My lead won't last long, but it does feel good.  ha ha ha ha ha

I'm not sure what's more appropriate:

 Tennyson's "it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all"

 Dickens' "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." or from the same tome "tis a far far better thing that i do than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to than I have ever known" or

Tom Petty's "No, I won't back down. You can stand me up at the gates of hell. But, I won't back down. No, I'll stand my ground."

I guess they all fit. This feeling really sucks. Go Bulls!!!

Next time, I have a suggestion. Let's do this in reverse. Whoever wants in gives up all their TPs if the Cs win. That's really giving it up for the cause.
