Ladies and gentlemen,

Time to do this again.

I have created a group on ESPN (yahoo does not do it any more).

Basic rules:
1. Ante is 10 quality cigars (if in doubt, ask me what constitutes quality)
2. 6 months as an active member (some exceptions can be made...a solid vouch by a vet, steady activity, completed trades, etc...I have last call)
3. All picks will be made before the first game (pretty sure it locks down after that)...no updates or changes after the first kickoff
4. If we have 9 players or less....winner takes all. 10 or more and I will modify the payouts. It will be posted before the first game.
5. I will be participating too (you will be able to see my picks too and I won’t change them)

That is all that I can think of right now.

Post on here that you are in then PM me your email address so I can send the invite.

Let’s have some fun.

David

I'll play, and will not use my parakeet to help with the picks.

Thanks for the contest, stinger!

Still a tight race. Gumby maintaining the lead with 2nd place pack nipping at his heels.

Biggest stories though:
Quite the turnaround for AKDave. If momentum keeps up, he could be unstoppable.

Also, a fine example of what Clint's capable of when he actually follows through and picks games Frying pan

Edit: name correction due to fat fingers

I wish they gave more points for picks that win and no one else in the group picked, AkDave had some guts with a lot of those picks.

I would normally agree. The end of the Fiesta and start of the Rose have me in a foul mood though

Think they used all the stickers for the QBs and receivers. None left for defense nor special teams (maybe one for that quick Utah fugger)

Think it was 5 TDs in 2:43 of game clock 1st half. Almost 6 if 11 didn't have the ball knocked out. Chit is nuts

Well if Delta picks the last 2 perfectly and Gumby picks awfully, you could still take him. Not that Gumby appears to be in the habit of picking awfully.

I know one pick out of the two picks will be awful, and the other pick, I’ll just flip a coin. I think delta may get it.

Winner winner, chicken dinner. Congrats gumby.

Please shoot out your addy to all of us losers. I will need a few extra days for a special item.

Hopefully next year there won’t be canceled games and I can get a little more excited for the bowl games.
