Best for you, not best for me who would have to verify every contestant's pick against their previous picks over the entire season.

This isn't every other NFL survivor pool you have been in.


True, it would be a pain to verify each team every week, I was just throwing in my $0.02, no need to get testy...

Chad are you going to tell us if we guessed correctly or do we have to research that ourselves?

How much research would be involved?  Looking at the NFL's website on Monday morning?

After the games have happened, I will post the names of eliminated members.  Those who have not been eliminated will then be able to delcare their new picks.

Some of these guys don't watch football and their picks are basically guesses.  They won't have to verify the results, I will do that.  This is also the reason I have made the game slightly easier than usual, so anyone can participate.

The only problem I see in your strategy Stingray is if you win then who you are you going against next week?

I did a Pick 'Em pool and ranked StL as my top pick too.

Bad enough the Packers dropped a deuce in Detroit, but now this too?

I didn't notice if they put a date on those things or not, and I thought you sent it while I was outta town.  After it goes through, I'll send 'im back to you.

I sent that like two days after the draft.  After thinking about it, no big deal, keep him.  I can't stand McNabb and don't want any reason to cheer for his success.  Merry Christmas.

That's the thing I hate about Yahoo.  Trades or anything like that are impossible to see if you don't look carefully at the top... make a friggen pop-up window like the PM message advisor here or something ::)

Dude, this is a tough year to pick.  Falcons, Eagles, Patriots all 1-1?  Green Bay, San Diego, Oakland, Minnesota all 0-2?

Tampa and Cincinnati 2-0?

Gotta say, as a lifelong Bucs fan, the Bucs look way better than anticipated.  They kicked the crap out of the Bills yesterday and beat a Vikings team, in Minnesoata, that everyone expected to be a force.  Cadillac Williams is going to be a star, Michael Clayton is even better than his spectacular rookie year, and Griese is playing as well as any QB in the league right now.  The D is always great so long as we still have Derrick Brooks, Ronde Barber, Simeon Rice, and Monte Kiffin.  I'm stoked, I had expected them to be a 7-9 team at best this year and so far they look far better than that.
