All the calm from your bones.
But maybe it should.
Maybe we need to be hollowed
To get up and grow,
And stop fucking around,
To kick off our braces and start straightening out

ROULETTE - ATL - Matt Bryant 42 Yards

EDIT: Was not following the rules, this was an invalid pick.

I’m going to try this the original idea way - stuck with my original pick until I make it back in. Just to see how that way works.

Now here’s a thing - if I get back in say week 9 my pool of available kickers is greater then someone who’s been playing and winning every week. It may be worth tweaking in the off season - maybe removal of the most popular kicker each week from the “roulette pool” but trying to change things on the fly may not be a good idea right now.

I think I'm sticking to regular game rules applying to roulette for consistency's sake. You cannot pick Matt Bryant as your roulette number this week because you selected him in Week 1. That provision was created specifically to address the problem of an eliminated player coming back to life with a smaller player pool. Going with the same kicker that eliminated you was just an idea and never an actual rule, just brainstorming

Congratulations to Nystral for betting the house on Hauschka, who came through and delivered a 43 yarder to bring them back to the land of the living!

....however, with just under a half to play, will it hold? Or will he shank one and put an end to the celebration?

The kicker gods cackle in your face as their combined magical juju makes Fairbairn shank a kick, negating your Kicker Jackpot and forcing you to bet again.

EDIT: Gostkowski, similarly affected by the juju, shanked his first kick in the game less than two minutes into the first quarter.

Kicker Jackpot Status

:siren: Nystral (Hauschka, 43 yards) :siren:

The kicker gods frown at the fact that their profits were chipped away by a miracle jackpot in the first week of roulette, but they greedily rub their hands knowing that seeing it happen will entice more people to bet on the wheel in the future. Yodzilla still has a pending bet on Janikowski though, so we'll see what happens.

After Nystral's resurrection, we're up to 12 remaining players from 11 in Kicker Eliminator. With half the remaining field taken out in two consecutive weeks, who will get shithoused next? Who can you trust in the NFL anymore when Zane "America's Kicker" Gonzales misses four kicks in a single game?

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.

Technically he never missed a kick so are you eliminated?

Yeah, my elimination is legit. You've got to at least hit an extra point or something to move on.
