This will be my debut. May I ask you something, @Joey Russ? Your rejections, what were they? To learn more about the "level of rejection". Thanks in advance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I can cross him off my (work-in-progress) list and eliminate one would-be rejected pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lafaucheuse 4,041 Posted December 26, 2021 8 rejected from my team… I don’t have any good option left now and feel in a rush… damn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted December 26, 2021 I’ve learned over the year that certain picks are always going to be rejected so I don’t bother trying. Case in point, didn’t even attempt to sneak Gary Burgess through cause he’s merely just a local reporter… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,421 Posted December 28, 2021 I decided to re-enter this one. 4 rejections first go around, all replaced without fuss. Of those four, two were "chance it and see" picks, one could have gone either way, and the fourth was a surprise I wont name yet as they are one of my DDP picks! They were good enough to explain why they turned down the pick though - fame reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did actually set up an Elevator Pitch for why one of my picks I thought was on the borderline was good only to get the equivalent of a "well duh of course they're OK"! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alt obits guy 3,371 Posted December 30, 2021 Now that she's died, I can say Nancy Worley was one of my picks for 2022 that got rejected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,963 Posted December 30, 2021 I got nine rejections yesterday. All got through this morning - I wish I had had one rejection for that name I missed. Too many lists... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Book 3,545 Posted December 30, 2021 Same here. I got 7 rejections yesterday and my 7 subs were ok this morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lafaucheuse 4,041 Posted December 30, 2021 Wonder if Hulka doesn’t get bored and accept any subs after our 2nd proposition because I had 9-10 rejected at first and when I went back 2 days later, Hulka answered back in 5 minutes saying it was all good… anyway, does anyone know if we’re allowed to change some entries before the 1st of January ?

Mischief Girl 44 Posted December 30, 2021 @Etushispushingupdaisies, I have John Daly on my list, too. You educated me on Gastineau; I had no idea he had the health concerns he has. I hope Kareem sticks around a while. I enjoy reading whatever he writes. He's a thoughtful man. I agree with you on Jimmy Carter, but I think he's such a good man I can't bear to put him on my list. (Very ineffective President, but a good man). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
