How about someone starting a football pool???

There must be a program or 2 out there that would let us do weekly picks and play against each other (for bragging rights and A MILLION birthday bucks )

[jm1647]

We had one going right here last year, but hadda keep the stats by hand

[BR7]

Or we could still could set up a fantasy league

I found a site that hosts pools for free I joined up as manager of the pool. the site is here I called the pool DVF Football Pool. Edit The join id and password I will send to anyone wanting to join via PM. When ya get the login and password go to the site and enter them into the Join a Pool fields at the lower right corner. Once you login in it'll ask for a first and last name an email address a nickname and a password. The email address you use to sign up with will be your login along with the password you (EDIT) chose.When you go to log back in use the email address and password you chose in the login box in the upper right hand corner - Write the password down!!!! I asked for a lost password and haven't received it yet, it was about 10 minutes ago.
Edit - I did get an email later with a temporay password

I used a phony name and an email address I don't mind getting spam at (just in case) but I couldn't see where any might be sent. As manager I can see the name u use and the email address also EDIT and you can see mine
It is set up for weeks 1-21 picking the winner of each game with no point spread. In case of a tie with the number of winning games the last game of the week is used for a tie breaker with the person coming closest to the actual score without going over being the winner. It looks like it will tally winners by each week and the grand winner at the end of the season. Lets give it a shot, it might be good.

Post in here if ya join and what nick ya used so we'll know who each other is.



I used jm1647

Edit - All the picks made are locked at kickoff time!

Edit - Week 1 starts Thrusday night September 7 with the Miami @ Pittsburgh game

[LT. Columbo]

i don't care for football much, but i do enjoy going to the stadium and watching a game live. been about 2 years now.

[jm1647]

this should be good for some laughs.

Yeah the hardest part last year was tallying who won how many games...I think too much for all the participants..we usta get different results depending on who had more to drink

[jm1647]

I did wind up getting a email with a temporary password from tailgatepools.com !!!

Anybody watch Sunday Night Football an NBC last Night John & Al were great as always it was like the traditional MNF on Sunday night.IMO no matter how hard ESPN tries to make MNF great on their watch it will never be as good as it was, before I make my final judgment and write off ESPN I will be fair and see what they have to offer tonight when the Raiders play the Vikes
