Well I did ask for question suggestions from players, and I used most of them ... Just wait until the Clausura season ... Jars of Clay.

All the way to work, I kept reminding myself to enter first thing. It was all I thought about the whole way. But of course once I got to my office, the email, the phone and other interruptions took me off track. So, baring a miracle I will be relegated. Oh, and yes, I am working from home this week.
Hahahahahaha wtf is the scoring system?! I get 1 point? My ballot 1. Addams Family 2. Lily 3. Fester 4. Hogans 5. Ensign Parker 6. LeBeau 7. Schultz 8. Craig 9. Goldfinger 10 Shaun MacDonald 11 Plymouth 12 Molly 13 Chyna 14 Human Clay 15 "yes in a foreign language " Isn't that six "sheepishly correct "? I don't care but what am I doing wrong, besides playing.
Took me a round or two to really grasp, but the person with the most "correct" gets as many points as there are players for that round, then it counts down from there. So if, for example, there were five players the person with the most would get 5 points (plus bonus for being the winner), then let's say the next two tied, they'd each get three points (since they tied they effectively get third place points), then the last two get two then one point. Make sense?
Anyone else watch last night's WWC match? I knew the correct answer was Megan Rapinoe even if the rest of you didn't.
My baaaaaad, everyone. The day got away from me yesterday, trying to get stuff done at work before leaving early for the SoB movie premier. I'll post the questions later today, and perhaps we'll wait until noon on Monday to get your answers in.
It's our last week, little sheep. As the Apertura season comes to an end, and the sun sets on the first half of the competition, I want to thank everyone who participated, even those who replied with answers such as "Eff you, Dills". Because I'm putting these up a day late (sorry about that ), send me the answers ONLY for the questions below via PM - http://forums.bigsoccer.com/conversations/add?to=Dills - by Monday, June 15th, at noon. WEEK 08 QUESTIONS Describe, in one word, your level of affection for soccer. Which team is going to win the 2015 MLS Cup? Which team is going to win the 2015 US Open Cup? Which team is going to win the 2015 MLS Supporters Shield? Which team is going to win the 2015 MLS Wooden Spoon? Name your favorite soccer documentary. Name your second favorite soccer documentary. Creed, Creedence Clearwater Revival, or Cheese Fries? Creed ... Christian rock or not? Name one band better than Creed. (Good luck trying) If Creed buys this team, fires Nick, signs a GM, but plays a halftime show every game would you be happy or calling for Nick to return. In a celebrity death match between Scott Stapp, Chad Kroger, or Fred Durst, who do you want to win? If you had to replace the DOOP song with the chorus of a Creed song, which one would it be? Which is more heinous: FIFA's crimes against soccer or Creed's crimes against music? What Creed song best describes how you are feeling after the Apertura season? Do not post or discuss the answers here, please. Good luck! Shout out to @Tyr and @mattylip for some of this week's questions. And just be happy it wasn't 15 Creed-only questions like originally planned.
I'm worried someone in my family is going to see my browsing history and I will have to explain the Creed searches.
