Mike FF Today 721 Posted July 8, 2011 OK guys, at the risk of jinxing the good vibes and perceived progress coming from the labor negotiations, we're going to run a little contest. Predict the date and time the lockout will be over (rounded to the hour). Closest to wins a free copy of the Cheatsheet Compiler & Draft Buddy. Specify your entry in the Eastern time zone like this... Ex: July 15th, 7:00 PM ET Rules 1. The person(s) closest to the correct time without going over wins. 2. Your guesstimate must be in by Noon Eastern tomorrow (Saturday, 7/9). 3. If you have multiple entries, your last entry will be used. 4. For the sake of this contest, the end of the lockout will be the date/time an announcement is made on NFL.com that an agreement has been reached between the owners and players.

shovelheadt 68 Posted July 8, 2011 July 14th, 4:00pm Eastern Can we modify the last rule to whenever Goodell and Smith hold their press conference? I assume it will be joint, but if not...whomever holds the first press conference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike FF Today 721 Posted July 8, 2011 Can we modify the last rule to whenever Goodell and Smith hold their press conference? I assume it will be joint, but if not...whomever holds the first press conference. We're using NFL.com because there will be a timestamp on the story. Probably easier to track and less room for error than determining who said something to the media first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Football Guru 222 Posted July 13, 2011 AM or PM? Easiest way to win a contest like this is not to be too specific I know the contest is now, but in typical "The Price Is Right" fashion, I'll take a minute after the latest guess on here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smileseers 54 Posted July 23, 2011 He has until the next pick which is 7-23, because those picks would all be over. But now that its 4pm today, its lookin less/less good Zac, if you had read rule #1, this contest is like the Price is Right, if you go over, you lose. So no, he does not have until 7-23. If the settlement is announced on NFL.com before 7-23 at 10:17 am eastern then Giraldi02 is the winner. If it happens after that time and before 7-25 at 12:42 pm eastern then I win... At this point, I would be very very happy if any of us win this devildamned contest. Titans&bucs is looking good and is probably the favorite. UNLOCK US!!!!!!!!!!!!!
