I set up a pickem league over at Yahoo. Same thing we did last year. For anyone new to this concept, you just pick who will win every game each week. You get 1 point for every team you select that wins. No points if they do not win. It convers the entire season. Very simple to do. I expect a big turnout on this one because im the 2 time champion and need some competition. ;) :evil If you are interested, post on here and then IM me your email addy so i can forward the signup info to you. The only requirement I have is that you use your CF screen name as your Team name so we know who is who. Obviously you need a Yahoo account to play. Thats it.
I'm in Murp.
Interested

So what happens if a person doesn't use his screen name as his team's name? Am I fired? Or are you going to give yourself a legitimate shot by deducting points from what my team earns?

I would have won it last year if MURP wouldn't have cheated by making me forget to submit my picks on time one week.
I could have forgotten to make picks for 3 straight weeks and still would have crushed you. YAAAAAAAARRRRRR
I'll take the info for this one too MURP.
I'm all signed up which puts me in 4 different :CF contests. Is there enough room to put all 4 titles above my avatar? By season's end, you may just have to call me Mr. :CF.

Signature bet says I get more right that you for the entire season!!
Signature for 60 days that says "Demonchildren made me his football bitch" after the contest is over....
I dunno, I post every day all day. You havnt been here that long. SO my sig will be all over the place ;)
And what do I get if I get more right than you?

"FTR" ??? What's that mean. "for the rest?"

Record
At the end of the season, the one of us with more correct picks is the winner. The loser has to wear "{Demonchildren or MURP} made me his football bitch" as their signature for 60 days.

1-0!
0-1. :-\

I'm right there with you. At least in my other pick 'em league it's with the points spread so I was still safe.
7/16 :boom :boom I hate parity in the NFL.
I won't say who is currentley tied for first after 2 weeks, but I'll give you a hint
Is any one else having trouble putting their picks in? It keeps saying there are no games yet this week and i can't put my picks in. :boom
Anyone else got the balls to pick Seattle over New England this week? >:D

Nope...me upsets are Skins, Bungles and Stillers.
I'm dropping fast. Be surprised if I get 4 right this week.
I'm not having a very good week either. I'm about half and half through the early games.
I'm pretty much .500 on the games that could've went either way.......these games are getting tougher and tougher to pick because you have no idea which teams are for real.
I have five farging picks correct right now. :boom :boom
First place is MIIIIIIIIINE, ALLLLLLL MIIIIIIIIIIINNNE!!
Got three wrong, one of which was the New England Seattle game. Seattle gave them a run for their money, getting within three at one point.
I also picked Detroit to beat Green Bay, and San Diego to beat Atlanta. >:(
Oh well, first place is mine, I'm gonna' enjoy this while I can. >:D
man, I got a long way to go to defend the title. this year is insane.

It's cruel how the Pats let teams think they have a chance.
Freakin Titans, Chiefs, Bungles and Lions made me an angry man, thats just 4 wins out of the top spot.

Ain't that the truth. They jump out to a quick lead, let the opposing team get within striking distance of a win, then bitchslap them back to reality. The Pats just don't make any mistakes. If the Eagles are going to beat them, they will have to play the perfect game, and do something that no other team has been able to do so far, pressure them into turnovers.
..............and the big pick this week iiisssssssssss....
THE NEW YORK JETS!!
OUCH!! First place is mine no more! Tough week, only 5 right picks. The Bengals beating Denver? Kiss maa azzzzz!!
I decided not to pick this week to give you all a sporting chance midway through the season. :paranoid.
Youll still be in the lead based on my day.
Wow, I just went and looked to see how everyone is doing after the early games and I'm seeing a lot of 1's and 2's up there. Looks like my brainfart isn't going to bite me in the ass too badly. ;D
I'll be lucky to get 5 wins this week.
only ff predicted pitts would win in this game....

You must not have looked at my prophetic picks.
Because I started out sooooo poorly, the last few weeks I've been trying some interesting things with my picks, like:
1. picking all the favorites
2. picking all the underdogs
3. picking all the home teams
None of these things are working any better or worse than my pure crappy instincts. :-D
7 (Oct 19) 5/14 Complete
8 (Oct 26) 6/14 Complete
9 (Nov 2) 6/14 Complete
10 (Nov 9) 6/14 Complete
(beating head against wall....)
I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself............
next week pick the opposite of your gutt feeling yeti. ;)
That's what I did this past week.........

I hate myself, I hate myself.........

I'm kicking myself for not remembering to make my picks the week of the Ravens game. Oh well, I'm still trying, just to see how close I can still come after missing a week.
By the way, I picked Philly and Cleveland for the most and least points scored respectively, hit that right on the nose. Shame it couldn't help me in the standings.
I finally have a good week and it happens to be the same week everybody has a good week.
You suck.
I had the worst week of everyone.
That's what I get for trying to be different...LOL

TOTALLY suck!! ;)
I didn't go for the sure things this week and tried to pick against the grain so I could pick up some points.
it backfired...and my one saving grace (beating MURP) is now gone as well...LOL
If the Texans dont sit on their lead, I'm tied for first.
Ooops :boo >:( :bash :spank
Well, that's that. Got caught off guard by the holiday and forgot to make my picks before Thanksgiving, and can't make any picks for this weekend. Farg.

Damn Cowboys, Vikings and Cards.
Don't worry, hairy. Just about everyone got those wrong.
Yeah, but I "called" 16 / 16. Then again, it was the best week I had so far. Hmmmm.
OK I will try it again.
This week I will get 16 out of 16!
Good Luck! There are some games where arguably no team should win. Might as well flip a coin. :-D
(eating more crow) but still, another good week. Hmmmm
...........................16/16 next week :-D
Lousy Bungels. I need to make a run, times running out.
Note to self: never brag again! :boom :-D
whooops. Once I was eliminated in CFFFL, I forgot to pick in the Pickem....
:-\
That's ok. You had no chance to win in Pick 'em either. :P
At least you didn't forget to pick earlier in the year like I did when I was still at the top of the league. :boom :boom :boom
I'm clearly not THAT stupid.
:-D >:D
:-D :'( :flipoff
Yeah, that was a bad week for me all around because we had our Birthday Ball on Sat, Nov 6th and I got pretty wasted, passed out and didn't wake up until somewhere close to half time during the early games. Didn't make any picks or set any of my fantasy rosters that week. :-\
Sarge--if you got what everyone else did that week, you'd be about 4 or 5 back of the lead. :-\
Yeah, I'd still be right there at the top. Regardless, I still feel pretty good about how I picked this year. More good weeks than bad weeks. :)
Guess who just taketh the lead ;D

I think you learned a valuable lesson about life today MDS.
Loyalty only goes so far, and considering what they fielded and how they played it, a little lapse of loyalty was warranted :evil
