NFL Predictions Competition 2025 - FINAL LEADERBOARD - 2 Like(s)
Not much to it.
Excel spreadsheet:
Worksheet1:
Column 1 = player name
Column 2 = week 1 score
Column 3 = week 2 score
etc
Last column = total score (Just a basic sum function here to tally up the points from week 1, week 2, etc
Worksheet 2:
I copy out the player name column and e.g. week 1 score column
Sort it on cell values largest to smallest
This gives me the weekly scores by player in descending order
Worksheet 3:
I copy out the player name column.
Then I copy and paste the scores from the total score column into note pad first. Copy them all again from notepad into an Overall score column in worksheet 3.
Sort it on cell values largest to smallest
This gives me the overall scores by player in descending order.
There is undoubtedly a smarter way of doing it using Excel but this worked for me.
Drawback is I have to manually add everyone's scores each Sunday night/Monday morning.

We all know that the Association is a democratic and an amateur one and because of that it carries a bit of discretionary flexibility.

In fairness I have never seen or heard of any county penalized or sanctioned for not promoting our national games any more than they are, therefore Croke Park officials seem to be happy enough, however anyone with a bit of honesty in them will admit that hurling clubs and counties across the country are conveniently forgotten about and left to look after themselves.
The main player in Brian Cody's management team lent his assistance to Carlow's Hanrahan's senior football club and helped them win 3 senior county championship titles and finished it off by winning a Leinster senior football title in 2000 / '01. Kilkenny themselves have a historic 3 leinster senior football titles, some of us mere mortals have one or two but they have three, they then concentrated their energies on the game of hurling, the rest as they say is history.
Good luck to them.

An amalgamation of St. Pats, St. Farnans and Easkey beat Enniscrone by 31 points last night in the B u15 league.
How would the CCC allow an amalgamation of three clubs be allowed to form in the first place and then to compete at that level? Surely they should be in A.
I didn't agree when it was our own club amalgamating and I don't agree now. If you do, it should be straight to A, unless special permission is granted based on outstanding circumstances. Our young players deserve better.
The last time I remember an amalgamation of that scale was when St. Molaise Gaels were formed.

It's laughable that some Mayo posters are butthurt about some Clifford cuteness after lauding Cillian O'Connor for similar for years. Indeed COC did it to a level probably unseen before or since in the game and it was the main thing that turned him from an average footballer to an effective footballer

At the end of the day, provincial winners were the only counties to go direct to the All Ireland quarter finals. All others had to negotiate the qualifier route. As league qualification has now essentially replaced the traditional qualifiers - provincial winners only should be qualifying through provinces. All others based on league qualification. Provinces themselves want to reward provincial winners. Crazy to reward provincial winners and runners up the same. All provinces regardless of seeding etc. can only produce one winner.

Thus sending Louth to the TC.
Should Wicklow, Wexford, Longford and Carlow be consigned to an Intermediate Championship" Dublin can only play Louth Wexford Laois WMeath Kildare in final
Offaly are same side of the draw

Do Kerry Get Frees A Bit Too Easy? - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Aibrean: "You need to produce some evidence and, like McStay, not make wild statements.
The game is on TG4 Player; have a look and come back with specific incidents where Kerry got frees they did not deserve and where Mayo did not get frees that they deserved.
I do remember:
Reape hitting Clifford and not being penalised, Aiden O Shea being penalised 3 times in about 5 minutes just after half time and not getting a card (one of which was nasty enough on Jason Foley) and Paul Geaney having to go off after a blow to the head.
I'll have a look at the game and come back with some evidence." Reape got a yellow card for the shoulder on Dave Clifford after Coldrick consulted the linesmen. Seemingly Gucci, Versace and DKNY were referenced in that conversation. Dave had a lovely relaxing lie down for himself trying to influence the colour, then made a Lazarus-like recovery to rejoin the action. Surprised some milking machine ad didn't appear on TG4 for the duration of his recuperation from such a horrendous challenge! Every county are at it to varying levels. Used to be the falling over holding the face so the ref would stop play to kill the opponents momentum. But we shouldn't be surprised.
