April 23, 20241 yr comment_1745562 @Jason, I'm curious ... of the past 19 years, how many times has the prize gone unclaimed because nobody guessed correctly? With the Bengals, I would wager at least a few times.

April 23, 20241 yr comment_1745564 23 out of 27 contestants chose an offensive or defensive linemen. 3 different CBs and one TE received one vote each.

April 24, 20241 yr comment_1745638 I'm surprised that Brian Thomas Jr, Fashanu, Wiggins, and Arnold all went unclaimed.
April 24, 20241 yr comment_1745681 I didn’t make a pick. I am never close and my feelings get hurt. I would have picked Brian Murphy TE so I just screwed over you guys that did. Sorry.

It's the most chosen pick so far, but that could be coincidental as well. If I influenced anyone, it was good for them.

April 26, 20241 yr comment_1746558 Thanks again for doing this Jason. It is something I look forward to every to draft.

[If I ever have the good fortune of winning this contest (twice lost on tiebreakers), instead of accepting your prize, I will instead direct you to give the Bengal gear to deserving kids in your own neighborhood…creating brand new Bengal fans. I might even throw in some $ to increase your reach.] 🦗

April 27, 20241 yr Author comment_1747316 Congratulations Sparky! DM me a link to your prize, specify size and color as applicable. And your real name and mailing address.
April 27, 20241 yr comment_1747337 Thanks Jason! I like Cricket's idea of donating the item to a youngster. If you know someone like that, give them a treat. If not, I know a 4 year old whose father is a Browns fan and who should be led back to the path of righteousness.
April 27, 20241 yr comment_1747467 Does Cincinnati Children's hospital have a donation thing you could send something to a kid there?
April 27, 20241 yr comment_1747476 Congrats Sparky. Jason, thank you for adding a fun wrinkle to draft weekend once again this year...always look forward to it.

April 28, 20241 yr comment_1747622 Congrats @sparky151, even though I lost by tie breaker, the team getting Mims is enough of a win for me. 😁
