    Pro Football Pool For Eggxperts

    If there is enough interest I will set up an NFL pickem pool for the members here. There is a hosting site that handles the picks. It is all in good fun and no gambling is involved. Only takes a few minutes each week to pick your winners. Test your knowledge and sign up here if you are interested. Once there are enough people to show interest I will post a link for the pool.

    Sounds fun!

    I'm a bit of a homer, myself.  Here's hopin' Tennessee's Robert Meachem (who THOROUGHLY impressed me in the NCAA last year) is well enough to make some appearances this season!  He should compliment Colston and Henderson nicely.

     

    Although I like the Colts, as well.  Joe Addai is my BOY!!

    Re: Pro Football Pool

    I went ahead and set up our game even though it is a bit early..This way everyone will have time to get signed up and familiarize themselves with the host site.. Anyone wishing to sign up can do so at the link provided and register using NFL2007 and password eggxpert..http://www.tailgatepools.com/tgp.php

    Don't know why I can't get a live link to work.. I hate copy and paste.

    Something in Firefox is not compatible.  If you use IE the links work fine.  IEview works well to switch over on the fly.

    Re: Pro Football Pool

    Thanks Scoops..  I have had trouble with Firefox and links and have been trying some IE plug in that seems to work only sporadically.

    I might add that any female footballers are also more than welcome to participate.

    Re: Pro Football Pool

    Hopefully it sends out a reminder email to make ones picks or I am liable to forget about it.  Tends to happen when you are in more than 1 pool and dont remember which ones you have already made your selections in.

    I would say go Vikings but I dont hold out a lot of hope for them this year, with no quarterback or receivers.

    I used it last year and sadly it doesn't send reminders.... I will try to post reminders here when things get rolling..

    OK, all signed UP.

    and

    You guys are going DOWN.

     Also, under preferences at that site there was a check box labled:

    Send me a reminder if I forget to make my picks

    Not sure what it does, but I checked it.

    Re: Pro Football Pool

    Hey Underdog ,maybe they added it recently.. We had players last year miss their picks and never get a reminder..,Or maybe we just never saw that function.....Good find...Thanks..Yes

    Not a prob.

    We need more people though. It is kind of early in the season I suppose.

    I have some old work buddies I can probably rope in here.

    Re: Pro Football Pool

    Groovy hopefully that will send a reminder, but either way I visit this site most days now so a reminder on here would probably be enough anyway.

    Too bad that probably wouldn't work.  It always seems in pools I have been in at work and such someone that knows absolutely nothing about football wins about half the time on whatever system they use.  Though for a season total it does help to have those that know nothing about the teams as they will get lucky sometimes they cannot sustain any consistency in their picks.

    Eagles vs. Bears - let's see..  A bear can eat an eagle so Bears it is..

    New England vs. Pittsburgh...   New England's uniform colors are so much brighter, New England it is...

    Miami vs. Atlanta...  duh, dolphins are way cuter....

     

    Anyone remember that Cheers episode where Diane kept picking winners?   Stick out tongue

    More recently Payton Manning on SNL vs a "girl" picking games with the same criteria. 

    I hope I don't pull a Payton Manning and choke on this.
