Week 11 Update

by TheCommish

Week 10 can be summed up as such: The Lions - owners of a BFIG-record 89 percent pick rate - sucked, threatening all former definitions of "catastrophe", then the Browns sucked more and order was restored. Boring. Not boring: Commish's BOLD prediction...

BFIG Week 10 Update

by TheCommish

The Seattle and Houston losses dropped a good chunk from both pools. BFIG is down to 308, and Second Chance is down to 442. We now move to 2 picks per week in both competitions, which requires 2 * 2 + 2^2 BLLs every damn week because MATH...

BFIG PICKS: Week 9

by TheCommish

Our top pick is eerily familiar to one of BFIG's only majority pick losses just two years ago, but FIRST... When something so transcendent occurs - something greater than the sum of all NFL parts to this point - Commish must stop everything and pay homage...

BFIG Week 9 Update

BFIG PICKS: Week 8

by TheCommish

This week marks the fourth time this season that at least 25 percent of BFIG is picking against the Browns. In three of the weeks we didn't, they played the Colts, Jets, and Bengals. We're 2,792-0 when going anti-Browns this year... will the fun ever end?

BFIG PICKS: Week 7

by TheCommish

We violated so many rules this week. SO MANY RULES. Are we even gonna make it to Week 10? Are that many people really picking against Green Bay? Are people really backing Jay Cutler in a 2017 survivor pool?!...

BFIG Week 7 Update

by TheCommish

Commish should have been bolder. The signs were there. The history was there. The predictions were there. In a season already in contention for "Weirdest BFIG season ever," Commish should have known Week 6 - a slate that looked as cakey-cake as cake gets - would have iced it...

SURVIVOR PICK POWER RANKINGS: Week 6

BFIG Week 6 Update

by TheCommish

We have an early frontrunner for 2017's "Worst Survival Team." @BigDaddy said it himself, in last week's power rankings: "If Big Ben doesn't have a good game, they lose. If the throws three picks, they lose. Pittsburgh's built that way." Well, how about five picks?...

BFIG PICKS: Week 5

by TheCommish

Commish has never seen a set of pick comments like this week's comments. It was like you all stared at the slate of Week 5 games, blinked a few times, stared for another minute to make sure you understood, and collectively said, "Commish, what the f*** are you doing to me here?!"...

BFIG PICKS: Week 4

by TheCommish

The Seattle Seahawks are not (currently) a good football team. That didn't stop nearly half of us from backing a 1-2 team with maybe the decade's worst offensive line. Commish thinks he knows why, and he takes you back a few years to explain it...

The Irony in How We Get Back to Watching Football

Commish hopes we can get back to football for football's sake. I'm guessing you hope so, too. And, ironically, the fastest way there might be putting the focus back on Colin Kaepernick and his original intent...
