Bro to Bro for MF (Monday Football)

I say, I say, now listen here, son! It looks like ol’ UltimateAnyone has gone and done the unthinkable—he’s won himself his very own UA’s Early Bird Award of Continued Excellence! Talk about poetic, I say poetic justice! Ain’t nothing sweeter than watchin’ a bird take flight and soar right into glory, except maybe a fresh batch o’ corn muffins. And what’s the prize? Why, it’s another COFP, hotter than a firecracker on the Fourth of July, ready to be used at his discretion. Mighty fine work there, boy, mighty fine!

But now, son, let me bend your ear for a moment—careful how you handle that COFP, ya hear? You don’t want to be like that poor, hapless Wile E. Coyote, always schemin’ and plannin’ with his fancy ACME contraptions, only to end up with soot on his face and his tail in a sling. No, sir! A COFP’s got the power to turn the tide of a season, but it’s also got the power to make you look as foolish as Elmer Fudd on a rabbit hunt. So use it wisely, UltimateAnyone, or you might find yourself hollerin’, “I say, I say, what went wrong?”

Now, off you go, strut your stuff, but remember—the early bird gets the worm, but the cautious bird stays outta the fox’s den!

It should be obvious that I used chat gpt for that response. After receiving it I told chatgpt, “PERFECT! THANK YOU!!!” and it replied with…

You’re most welcome! I say, I say, it was a pleasure! Anytime you need a little extra flair or a dose of Looney Tunes wisdom, you just holler. Good luck to UltimateAnyone with that COFP—let’s hope it doesn’t go all ACME on him! :smile:

Let’s use two more COFPs, hope to not get them both wrong.

The intern’s bus was delayed by the snowstorm in Buffalo, so the SNF update was scrapped. Going into MNF, here are this week’s projected winners:

Browns - Carrie’s Carebears; VALSA: @3rookie
Broncos - @ldancer911

This week’s award is Numbers’ Nudge.

Congratulations to @ldancer911 for winning Week 13 and its award, Numbers’ Nudge.

NN

Numbers’ Nudge: This is an enhanced version of the RPL7 award. The winner of this award will have n points to distribute in the same way as the RPL7 award. n is determined by the number of wins correctly predicted in the week this award is won. The results of this award affect only the award winner’s results.

ldancer911 has 13 (thirteen!) points to distribute as he sees fit. The default will be something I make up at random once TNF rolls around…probably applying all thirteen points towards a team that you picked that had more players pick it than its opponent. This may be rejected by declaring your own method of application before TNF’s kickoff.

Additionally, you’ve earned a shiny new Change One Future Pick award! Whether you choose to play it cool, bold, or completely bewilder your competition, the power is in your hands. Use it wisely—or wildly; the intern could use a good story.

The VALSA this week goes to nobody as @Funemployed & @redearedslider can keep each other company in the basement of this week’s standings.

This week…the COFP results were nothing short of perfection. Six COFPs declared, six triumphant outcomes. The intern had the salt jar ready, but it’s been shoved back on the shelf, replaced by an endless string of high-fives, handshakes, and hearty pats on the back. In fact, the intern’s arm is so sore from all the congratulatory gestures that they’ve called in another intern—a chiropractic trainee—to help keep the good vibes flowing. Well played, strategists—you’ve truly outdone yourselves!

@UltimateAnyone used a COFP to change his Raiders pick to the Chiefs. :+1:
@TheArbitrary used two COFPs to change his 49ers & Browns picks to the Bills & Broncos. :+1: :+1:
@PatientZombie used a COFP to change his 49ers pick to the Bills. :+1:
@Mountainhawk used a COFP to change her Jets pick to the Seahawks. :+1:
@3rookie used his VALSA-COFP to change his Browns pick to the Broncos :+1:
