August 31, 2023 | Phil Myers
Protime has not been to the beach in years. When he found out they play high school football at the beach in Ocean City, New Jersey he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to go, especially when he discovered they were going to play 12 games in 3 days. PFN’s resident photographer, Sykotyk, happened to be […]

Protime Predictions (Protime’s Championship Seasons)
December 7, 2022 | Phil Myers
Protime remembers the old electric football game where you lined up your individual men on the board, gave one the little felt football, hit the on switch, the board vibrated, and off they all went in every which direction. When a player from the opposing team touched the ball carrier, he was tackled. You just […]
ProTime Panel Semi-Finals Hunches
December 1, 2022 | Marcus Sic
As always the cream has risen to the top, for PFN’s ProTime Pick Em’ Panel Guessing Tournament, the cream has not only risen to the top and stayed there, it separated from the pretend prognosticators like a quart of non-homogenized milk. ProTime has led the pack since week one, as we reach the last two […]
Protime Predictions (The Time Protime Nearly Froze)
December 1, 2022 | Phil Myers
Hearkening back to yesteryear, Protime recalls the 1978 Robert Conrad Eveready battery commercial where Conrad dared you to knock the battery off of his shoulder. (It still can be viewed on YouTube.) Being a popular commercial at that time, Protime and Brother Protime wanted to recreate that ad and what it would look like in […]

Protime Predictions (Protime Falls)
November 24, 2022 | Phil Myers
Over the years Protime has fallen into things, he’s fallen down, he’s fallen up, and he’s fallen for things. You’ve heard the lingo these days about a football player who’s pretty good. They say, “he’s a baller.” Well, Protime is a faller. Twice this year Protime missed a step coming out of the press box […]
We could probably call it now, but we’ll wait til the season is over to declare that Protime is the Champion picker!
November 21, 2022 | Billy Splain
It’ll soon be over. Not just the season, but the panel’s attempt to dethrone Protime as the prognosticator of Prognosticators, the top guesser, the chief picker, the best at picking winners. Oh, a few made a run this year but as the weeks went on, ole protime kept pulling away. He along with 3 others […]

Protime got a little advice on his advice column last week. People liked it and want to hear more. So, Protime will do another one, but not this week. Protime likes it when people say they like his columns or like him. Mrs. Protime only likes it when people say they like his column. Protime […]
BOOM! Protime SMOKES the Panel!
November 14, 2022 | Billy Splain
The MASTER took the panel too class! His first perfect score of the season, and to do it in the playoffs is quite a feat! Not all the panel needed the lesson though, Willie had his best cards of the year and only drew one joker and Dan had the same hand! Mayhem drew 13 […]

Protime Predictions (With Some Protime Advice)
November 10, 2022 | Phil Myers
Protime has always said, ‘you can’t take your actions or words back.’ All the young high schoolers (and most adults) should remember that. Do what you can to stay on the straight and narrow. Always be good and do good. Stay away from negative people and those who would lead you astray. Be a leader […]
Protime continues to lead the amateurs, but the panel made some strides in weekend picks
November 7, 2022 | Billy Splain
I wouldn’t call it a banner week for the panel, however, three amateur coin flippers actually topped the top dawg this past weekend. Elizabethtown and Oil City skunked the group while they all hit on Mapletown and Berlin. Polka Al and FoD hit on 11 and Tristan landed the coin on the correct side for […]

Protime Predictions (Protime Jr.)
November 3, 2022 | Phil Myers
Occasionally Protime likes to hearken back to yesteryear. This week he does with joy and happiness, but also some sadness as Protime, Jr. will be getting married on Saturday. That means the lovely Mrs. P and Protime will become empty nesters. Protime can remember taking Junior to his first high school football game. The little […]
Protime Pick’em Panel beat down in week 10
October 31, 2022 | Billy Splain
It’s one of the most famous lines in the Rocky movie series: “I can’t see nothing, gotta open my eyes, cut me Mick”. We’ll, if they’re going to go the 15 round distance with Protime each week, Mick is gonna have to do his job. The panel once again saw lots of red as the […]

Protime Predictions Week 9. The trick is the mascot
October 20, 2022 | Phil Myers
Protime was thinking about something the other day. He always wished he could have been a high school mascot. Kids love mascots and want to get their pictures taken with them. A while back Protime had his picture taken with the Nittany Lion. Come to think of it Protime was an adult, but he acted […]
