Fans, the season has been great.
Thank you for your participation.
It has been a lot of fun, and you all showed a lot of class and character.

A big thanks to SM for keeping this game on the rails in the first half of the season.
Very well done, my friend!


Well, the Super Bowl was an epic nail-biter.
Three Best Bets was also an epic nail-biter, thanks to S. Jobs opting to make picks on Super Sunday.

When KC punched it into the end zone in OT, Steve Jobs sealed the 2023 Championship!

Kudos to Mr. Jobs.
Very well done!

I got the error corrected.

Wow, congrats to Jobs for the impressive win! I was debating whether to start formally putting money down on my 3BB picks. Good thing I didn't!

Thanks again to Dan Vogel for running the game in the 2nd half. I'm sure you had way fewer corrections than I did. 8)

Super big congrats to Steve, who unfortunately did not have me to share the podium with him. I'm sure he's upset, but we all know he'll survive.

Why? Because he's Steve Jobs.

Who was the first guy to pick us all up and dust us off after a crushing 0-3 week? That's right, Steve. His words of encouragement and consolation picked us up and we kept coming back for more.
When we couldn't reach the peanut butter in the pantry, who told us to climb up on our Mickey Mouse stool and raid the cupboard?

That's right, Steve Jobs.

So I'll simply now leave you with the words of Steve in week 3:

Mourn for the dead, fight like Hell for the living



Congratulations... STEVE JOBS

:drink: :bananaS:

Kudos to and rack the fuk out of Screwy and Pops for running this 3BB show. What a great way to do NFL. This is a tough bunch of footballers and a great bunch of guys, thank you. Good times, wish I could peg the win all to skill, but luck was my mistress, at least for a few critical times.

Hopefully the 3BB word will spread and others will join the action.

And maybe kc3bbHaterdave's butt-lips will heal and he'll be in for next season. But his failure to Get It Up did provide most excellent comedy relief with he and Screwy at it over odds and the like.



Yo ho ho and an f'ing bottle of rum I love this place :drink:

Thanks for running the game and for letting a newbie like me get into the action I'm thrilled to finish ahead of TWIS. How's my ass taste??

OK I’ve finally recovered my pride enough to (figuratively) show my face again on this thread.

Congrats to Jobs. He must have had a pretty good algorithm. I should have quit at the end of the regular season as I went 1-12 through the playoffs :oops:

Prolly over thinking things.

And thanks to Pops and Screwy for keeping this thing afloat. After a long offseason recovering from my faceplant I’ll be back next season if you all are and I’m still above ground.

Both you and Roux faded significantly down the stretch.

3BB can be cruel.
A couple 0-3 weeks (or 3-0 weeks) change things considerably.

Looking forward to next season!

Oddly similar to your mom's and you really should add some greens to your diet.

I hope to share my ass taste with you next season HPG, but props to you for now....

Count me IN for next season, assuming I'm still above ground.

Just got into the NFL some this season after a 20 year break.
