Won’t need that long!
Excuse the poor pic quality. @FootbalYouBet and @BetweenTheGoalposts would tie, with @Bombsaway trailing aggregate by 2. Blame the Eagles if you must.

Thank you for joining us, you Special Guest Stars, and good job on getting both your picks correct @rider01.1.

And so I am sending this out early, so make your final pick, and then if you like, you can screw around again all the way until the CFL season starts!

@rufoven


You all can play too.

I wouldn’t mind. I plan to share future pools on Google Sheets now that I have a handle on what it can and can’t do compared to Excel.

Warning: Spreadsheet Memory Lane

Wow I think I qualify as an auxiliary member of this club.

Back in 2006, I was a beta user of Google Open Office, as it was called then, including for Google Sheets. I had used Excel since 1992!

A friend and I knew right away that was going to be the beginning of the end of the hegemony of Microsoft Office on the workplace desktop, especially with its expensive licensing prices for multiple users, which I used to also resell back in the 1990s. The lion’s share of the revenues of Microsoft back then were in fact derived from Office alone, with its ventures into other products, including the mobile space, generally lagging or failures. I figure also that the percentage of Microsoft’s profits via Office alone were vastly higher. Microsoft was still having company conferences in Las Vegas back in early 2006, at which time they were evidently still buying their own propaganda about their products and services beyond their dominance via Office, including in the mobile space.

Via Gemini:

Based on Microsoft’s 2006 annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Microsoft Business Division (which included Office) generated $14.49 billion in revenue and $9.28 billion in operating income.

For context, this accounted for a substantial portion of Microsoft’s total fiscal 2006 operating income of $16.47 billion.

About one decade prior in what I sometimes I will inform the under 30 crowd was ancient history not long after the fall of the Ancient Egyptian Empire :smirking_face: , and usually I slip it through too, Larry Ellison of Oracle stated that the future of software would not be media purchased out of some box but direct download online, and well there we were with freeware, though OpenOffice did have a cheap premium option as well.

Thank you for joining us for today’s episode of Sheety History.

CURSES! FOILED AGAIN!!!

The world looks on and laughs at my way too early SB pick. If only I’d listened to my inner voice of reason instead of my oversized bowl of chips and beer. Things would be different.

But I’ll be back. Oh yes… I WILL be back.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :beaver:

Thanks @Crash for all the effort you’ve put into the 2025 NFL Pick’em Pool (and for putting up with us).

That’s a great take but oh gnaw, gnaw you don’t there you big-toothed overgrown beaver, you didn’t make your pick!

That part about chips and beer does sound really good though. Enjoy.

Alright, don’t screw around too long and make sure to make your pick.

I still get to make a SB pick? Really?!

Okay @Paolo_X put me down for the Hawks to win this thing.

:seahawks:

Now it’s back to the swamp I go. Hold my calls. Tell Aunt May that I’m sorry about Uncle Ben but he was standing between me and a juicy birch log.

With great power comes great responsibility. :beaver:

I might as well get this out early, for the dreadful “Media Week” will be upon us next week with the insufferable pre-game BS in a dreadful waste of media money, but go ahead and quit screwing around and make your picks, though I can understand delays due to winter and the rigours of the “waste management” business and the like.
