NFL Swampcrash 2023 (Team Selection Show is Live)

[GoodKarma]

Alright, we still need 2. I have no plans for how to handle 2 empty spots, so call a friend or smart child.

Ok my friend is in...I PM'd you his info.

[Ryan]

Nice thanks

[DSafetyGuy]

I'll take it, just to save a human job from AI.

[Ryan]

Alright! That's 32. Will do something random to assign teams shortly.

[Pruitt IV]

Finalist for post of the year!

That's exactly what an AI program would say to make us think they weren't taking over. How do we know you're not a robot?

Logic wouldn’t allow a robot to root for the Bears.

Selection Show is now available for streaming. I recommend downloading it or at least full-screening from a browser. I'll post a list maybe tomorrow once people have had a chance to watch if they want. Discussion in spoilers until then?

Let's ride.

In Belichick we trust.

[The Sybian]

Next year, get a bunch of has-been singers and super-hot foreign models to spin the wheel. Spice it up, like a World Cup draw.

[Ryan]

"UNCBoy, once more could you please spin wheel number two?"

[Gunpowder]

Dang first blood

[Nonlinear FC]

I watched way too much of that. To the point that I know I was a whisker away from being a Raider.

It's DSafetyGuy, not DSafetyBot.

That's what you were looking for, right?

Just when I have renounced my Browns' fandom, they drag me back in.

[duff]

Was hoping BFJ was gonna get the Colts.

That’s better than anything I could have come up with

[Rex]

This was edge of seat stuff.

[Ryan]

And I disabled the confetti and sound effects!

[Jerloma]

Me too! On both counts.

Really well done,Turd. Captivating shit.

[bfj]

Good stuff. Thanks Ryan.

[BSF21]

Tough division.

[Ryan]

I don't know how this happened, but there are only 9 of you with a winning record? 3 of them in the NFC and they're all in the same division?

Here's the list for those who didn't/won't watch the video:

Week 1 questions will go up next Monday morning. As always, I'll be emailing them in addition to posting them here, so I'll be reaching out for emails I don't have. You can send me one at ryantfriedman gmail anytime. Answers will usually be due Friday at 12PM ET with reveals starting sometime later that afternoon.

For those that are new or need a refresher, a full list of rules and scoring will be included in every week's thread but a couple things that are NEW THIS YEAR:

• If you're the only player with a one-point answer, you lose a point. Losing points, you might recall, is a positive. Like a negative COVID test, everyone knows this.

• Every week (I think) will include at least one picture question. The bad news is that none of them are power tools. The good news is that I made all of them into slideshows that are meant to be nice and big. These are all MP4s that I think will be playable (and pauseable!) in Swamp threads and emails. You'll have the option to download them as well.

If you'd like to start talking trash already, and because I need to see if this stupid Google Drive image link works, here's W1:

Your career record is very Bears-like, chedda.

[Ryan]

Just sent a test email to 30 of you so check your various accounts. If you want me to send them elsewhere, reply here or there.

EDIT: And now I need Romero because the Yahoo one bounced
