Fact or Fiction 2012

[Riddickulous]

Fun little game. Tried it last year, seemed to go well. Can generate some good discussion on the season.

Rules are simple.

A poster gives a prediction/scenario (Ex.: Bruce Heggie gets 100 sacks this season) relating to the upcoming season. The next poster responds with "fact" or "fiction" and gives their reasoning for their answer. Then they give their own statement, the next poster responds, etc. etc.

I'll start...

F/F: Theo Riddick gets 150+ touches this season.
