Hopefully we can get enough football fans to participate in a pick em pool. If we get enough people I will personally keep track of standings and will pm everyone in the pool each week before games start to remind people to get their picks in. I will also post in this thread the standings each week in an excel file.

This is just to feel it out if we can get enough people. If you are interested just post in this thread and when we get closer to the beginning of the season I will pm each person who posts in here.

Would be nice if ANT or even Trae could maybe donate something to the winner at the end of the season. If not, if we get around 10 guys at least, I will personally put something in the pot to make things more interesting and to make it more competitive.

I'm in, maybe I can put a gift card to somewhere in the pot

WildBill0771

In for this.

I haven't lost a pick 'em contest in 4 years. Come at me! haha.

Hopefully we can get more members in on this. I am ridiculously excited for this years football season, maybe because it was the season that almost wasn't? Regardless, I am pumped.

benny2510

I am sure more will join. We got a little over a month till the season starts. I am loving it too. Its kinda cool everything all jammed together. Ochocinco to the pats lol. So many changes and free agents. Gonna be an interesting year.

jpdapena91

Don't forget about reggie bush to the dolphins

benny2510

bumping this thread. If more get interested we can make it a yahoo pickem league to keep track. If we get a few more people I will set up a broscience league and give the specifics of league ID and password.

jpdapena91

I'm interested keep us informed

TheGilmore

Interested as well (kept skipping over this thread, don't know why).

I like the pick, but I don't like his name...

Will be interesting to see if he gets up to his old tricks. I think he wil behave, he wants a ring and the Pats aren't afraid to get rid of you if you are a detriment to the team. Same will go for Haynesworth.

Ok so we are up to 4 people...Soo as we get a few more I will set the league up.

frankasaurus

I'm in,just let me know when it starts

benny2510

Sweet up to 5 people now.

benny2510

Ok guys I set up a league hoping the people on this thread will join and maybe some lurkers. If I win the $50 posting promo going on right now I will add that as a prize to the year end champion.

The league is here:
Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Pro Football Pickem

The league ID is: 7734
The Password is: celltech

I hope Ant doesn't mind but I called the league broscience.com forums

jpdapena91

Sounds good, I'll join as soon as I get home. Ps.the jets got plaxico.I just hope he behaves

benny2510

I think he will. was on Rich Eisen's podcast talking about how stupid what he did was. Says he is ready and fully healed for the first time in his career.

jpdapena91

One can only hope.it seems that the jets are a team of ex cons lol

laneanders

I'm interested now that we will actually have football!!!!

TheGilmore

Oops, didn't see that this was open already. Just joined in the group. First pick 'em I've done, so bear with me.

IN!

Good luck, everybody!

laneanders

We could make a fantasy football league on one of those websites as well. That would be cool. I used to do them with my former co-workers, but we aren't in contact anymore so I just do them with random people lol...

benny2510

Bumping this for more people to join.

benny2510

Might open this up to people in the bb.com forums. Can have up to 100 people playing. Would like it to be as competitive as possible.

TheGilmore

I'm all for that idea.

I'd be good to go with it, haven't done a Pick 'em league before so i'm in the same boat as Gilmore.
Then again with my most likely horrible picks it'll be better for the rest of you, on less person to worry about that would actually have good picks

benny2510

Funny thing is that people that don't know much always do well. Some people tend to over analyze picks. I am in a pickem pool for money and my gf joined last year and she knows a bit about football and watches it with me. She won like 3 weeks last year and me...well 0 weeks.

TheGilmore

Last year was a funny season, though. A lot of teams winning games that I didn't expect them to.
