NOSTRADAMUS Savage contest Topic


Nostradamus – 16th Century French astrologer, physician, and seer.
Credited with having accurately predicted many major world events.
Was Nostradamus a genius? Did he possess supernatural powers?
Was he a Prophet? How did he predict the FUTURE?

Can YOU predict the SAVAGE future and forecast winners?
Or, are you only about as accurate as your local weatherman?

Are you a PROPHET, and know how the next SAVAGE season will unfold?
Or just shooting wild a$$ guesses, and should fold before the stakes are high?

A Genius who KNOWS the SAVAGE Game, KNOWS the Players, KNOWS the architects of greatness?
Or Babbling Heretic, praying lady luck helps back up all the trash you’ve been talking?

are you:

Nostradamus……. Or
Nostra-Dumb-A$$ ……..???

you haven't .....yet -

I used your name as a hypothetical in order to illustrate how scoring works

and maybe you should be happy that SOMEONE linked you name to being first (lol)

thanks - I hope you enjoy it....

one of the good things about this theme is there seems to be several guys
already steeped in prognostications and handicapping the races....

my Fantasy Football league does a preseason poll and it spices things up ...

Hey,
jcred...

I'm somewhat shocked that someone made a submission...
(after being shocked initially for a few weeks that NO ONE made a submission - LOL)

I will look at rosters and weigh in later today / tonight with my top 10
