I'm setting up another Yahoo NFL Pick'em league for 2008. This is the 4th year it has been ran, 3rd for FTR. This year it is called Degeneration X-press, which is totally gay I know. (If you want to see last year's thread - click here).
Basically, in a pick'em league you pick the winner for every nfl game, every week, and whoever has the most points at the end of the season wins (ld0). The interface is really easy, and you can even get e-mail reminders so you don't forget to enter your picks (or just enter them in early). I like pick'em leagues because I'm not hardcore into sports and it doesn't require as much knowledge or dedication as fantasy football. THIS YEAR WE ARE USING SPREAD LIKE WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FROM THE START. If you forget to enter your picks in any week, there is no way to make up for this. This is also referred to as pulling a bigred.
Interested? Here are the details:
http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/pickem - Click "Join a Group"
- $30 for the year Due by Week 1 (September 4th)
- Prizes are:
1st - 40% (With 25 $300)
2nd - 30% (With 25 $225)
3rd - 20% (With 25 $150)
4th 10% (With 25 $75)
- If there happens to be a tie, the prizes will be chopped.
- If you know anyone else who would like to be involved, let me know (make sure they are actually going to pay)
- IM (aim/yahoo givememyleg) or PM for details
You can pay via PokerStars/Full Tilt/PayPal (Will have to pay like $1.5 in fees)
PokerStars id: givememyleg (Ishpeming)
Full Tilt id: JohnnyChanloljk (Ishpeming)
Also forgot to add, if anyone from FTR happens to win, I will transfer the winnings to them in anyway they want (probably just the way they sent the money). If I do not have your money by kickoff week 1, you will be kicked out of the league.
List of FTR members involved (bold = paid):

I'm in, but have a question.
If we're using spreads, which book's spreads are we using? And since spreads MOVE and all, how are we going to handle that?
Also, PM me the address to paypal $$ to, thanks.

here is what the rules say:
Yahoo! Sports uses the point spreads provided by the Associated Press. These spreads will be updated each day. Unless there are Thursday games, Thursday's lines will serve as the game's official spread. In weeks with Thursday games, Wednesday's line will be the official spread.

Ahhh FUCK!! I suck at the spreads. You can thank me now or thank me later for my donation.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the Colts struggled more than in years past.
Also, I went to Indianapolis this past week, 2 things:
1. No way it's in the South
2. Most fucking boring city I've ever been in

Aw man, it's not that bad. I think the heart of the downtown is really nice, but if you get even a mile away from there then yeah, there's not much going on.

I've heard fans of the Titans or Jaguars say this every year since about 2002. One of these years it'll be true I guess.
