Title: The NFL "Pick 'em" Challenge, 2018-19 Season
Post by: BeardFisher-King on January 10, 2018, 05:57:53 pm
Hey, here's the thread for next season's competition. We probably won't pick against the spread. Please post any suggestions. I'll update this post as required.

See y'all in September!

You can just set up a Yahoo league and get our emails and invite us. Much easier that way..they do all the work.

I'll look into that, MSJ, thanks!
ETA: Oh, yeah, that'll work great.

So I'll just use the thread to announce the league (sometime during preseason, I imagine). Y'all can PM me with your emails then.

Of course, the thread will also post weekly results, along with bragging, gloating and trash talk. Sounds like fun to me!

Oh, the league will need a name.....naming rights are available!

No problem. We could even do a TSA FFL. That would be very fun. Pick a day when we can do a live draft. I think that would be loads of fun

I've never played FFL. But I'm game. I imagine we can set that up at Yahoo Sports as well, yes?

Yes, BFk. And, it would be optimal if we have at least 8 people. And, if you get with me, would be commissioner since I know a lot more about it. Points, how many players and such. I would commission FFL, while you do pick em.

And definitely have to work out a day to do a live draft. That way we choose our own players.

I was hoping you'd handle the FFL. I've got the "Pick 'em" league. 8 players for FFL? You, I, then maybe Tao, Bolivar, H.....that leaves three more to recruit.

We can do March Madness brackets also.....

Yes, we can!

Which likely gives you an advantage picking them ...

Exactly! Its like the stories you hear that guys ask their 3 year old kid which team will win based off the colors of their jerseys. And, end up winning these huge pools. I think the less you know, the better off you are with a March Madness bracket. So, H, don't let your lack of knowledge deter you from participating.

True, not like it costs anything...
