This one is tougher than bass fishing, cuz there's actually some research you can do. And how about those tiebreakers, huh?  :rolleyes: Well, at least I've heard of Nancy Kwon. That's a good start, I guess.

Nancy Kwan is an Asian actress popular a few decades ago. :p
"Pork's Acrapolis" won in '04, so I expect to defend my title. Need a new name, though, since we're in Italy now.... hmm...
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

Would you please register for the baseball game already. I'm starting to get panicky that you're not gonna play.

JG 21 + 2 23
PL 9 +10 19
DM 9 + 0 9
Wish I could remember who I picked. :rolleyes: I thought it started the 15th, too (I even missed the opening cermonies) cuz of those ESPN idiots. I basically did a quick pick of the top 5 from '02, and planned on doing more research. Well, at least I got picks in at all.

Another great ESPN game.... Not only can't I figure out how to see which countries everyone else picked, I can't even figure out how to see my own. :rolleyes:

It'll be fixed.
I just like how they start games w/o testing them first. Good ol' ESPN. :rolleyes:

Originally posted by Just Lou: I found out something by accident today. I can play these games without joing a group. If I suck, I pretend I didn't play. If I'm doing well, I jump in the group and brag about it. :p Beth did that one year in one of the salary cap games. We had a subsequent meeeting of The Gangster BB Fantasy Games Board of Governors, and decided that that tactic would not be permitted. Nothing counts if someone does not join the league from the beginning, unless they join late and start at "zero."

JL Austria Italy Norway United States Germany
JG Austria Russia Norway United States Germany
PL France Russia Canada United States Germany
DM Finland Spain Sweden United States Germany This game would be better if you could change your countries whenever you wanted to (still staying within the cap, of course), as certain events are completed and others are yet to come.  (Edit: What is it that they say about "great minds"? }

At least this great mind wrote "USA" instead of spelling out the two words so it doesn't appear like 2 different countries at a quick glance. :p

I forgot....there is no cap.  But they could still allow you to change countries in the middle of the game without eliminating the bonus multiplier.
