Title: CONTEST: Suicide League!
Post by: MURP on August 31, 2004, 12:23:39 PM
decision has been made to have the suicide league over at Yahoo.  I set up a league over there.  They call it a "survival league" at Yahoo.... PC bastiches.  ;)    Anyone who wants in but doesnt know the low down... basically you pick one team you think is going to win each week.  If that team wins you go onto the next week so on and so on.  If the team you pick loses you are done for good.   Catch is you can only pick each team one time.  Very simple game.  Anyway, the more people that sign up the better!   so who wants in?  Ill start sending out the emails.  Oh yeah, you must use your CF Screen name as your team name.

Title: Re: CONTEST: Suicide League!
Post by: BrianWestbrook36 on September 09, 2004, 06:14:38 PM
I made my pick, but I think it's stupid that they close it long before the first game actually starts.

so many people stole my genius pick with the Texans.

I had them in mind for a long time.

thieves  >:(  :P

Hey now, I had them in mind for a long time before....I thought they were a sure thing come Sunday, at home against the Chargers.  And my I remind you know one could have "stole" your pick since yahoo doesn't show who everyone else picks until it's "locked" for that weekend's games.

I dont know what I was thinking, and I picked the Bills. They lost on the last play, some fluky hookup inside the goal line by the Jags. Farg em.

Texans were a big risk? No, the Chargers are the doormats of the NFL...until the Giants took that title over yesterday. It was a smart pick, but the Chargers pulled a huge upset.

That's the problem when you pick a team based on how much the OTHER team is supposed to suck.

First week of the season is tough, though.  Amazing how many people survived.

Yeah, luckily the Cardinals remembered that they are the Cardinals and have no business winning football games, otherwise half the league would have already been eliminated by now.

Why in the hell would anyone trust the Texans...especially for the first pick.   The Eagles were the Stone Cold Lead Pipe Lock.  As for this week...that'd be the New England Patriots at the zesty Arizona Cardinals.

ahh yes,  If it was for dough i probably would read the rules.  Just seems too logical to give you up till kickoff to make you picks.

I'll pass on the kick in the nuts, thanks.
