Based on a random sampling of 10,000 of the 280,000 subscribers, they found out that Pepsi/Britney was the subject of the most replayed Ad(s), and not surprisingly the play that got the most attention was Vinatieri's game-winning FG."

I tried that too, and it didn't work. I even modded foes' posts down -4. They still show up. Can anyone explain?

I've seen many other people complain about the same thing... submit a story, watch it get rejected ASAP, see it posted the next day. Happened to me twice now. Guess it really isn't worth submitting a story.
