NFL pool this year? Who's interested?

How many of you are interested in doing the NFL pool again this year? Gizzy sent me a PM asking if I was going to do it again this year and I said sure (assuming people here still wanting to do it!) so lets do a preliminary headcount here...who wants to play?
(for you newbies:  this is just a fun thing we do each year here. I list the games each week and everyone picks what teams they think will win. I tally up the points each person gets each week and then have a winner at the end of the season). Im particularly interested how my Browns will do this year with a TON of new players including QB's although Im not happy about them changing QBs,  AGAIN!!! oh well, what can ya do.. lol
Ok so who;'s in for some football?

[drifter0213]

since my cowboys will host this years' Super Bowl you can definitely count me in Trouble on the picks :)

[el_em_en_oh]

Who's going to hold the $$$, and how do we get it to that person?

I can set up a PO-Box and would be happy to be the 'keeper of the funds' and then distribute to the winner, unless you don't do it that way.

Curious about how this works, but count me in!

[troubleinohio]

lol not for money, sorry, i forget that the people who never did it here in the past might not realize this is just for fun, not money. Thats all i need is the FBI knockin down my door for an illegal gambling operation, lmao

[beatingthis]

I was thinking about you. Glad your here! Count me in!!!

Cowboys are going down!

I am so excited for football to start.  Put out my Ravens Flags, mailbox cover, door hanger, refrigerator magnets, garden stakes, banner, got tickets for the home opener . . . . so yeah, I'm in!!!!!!!

[gizzy32]

I am in again. Do you remember who won the pool last year trouble? I think his name was gizzy, lol. Too bad I cheer for such a horrible team, but I am faithful, lol.

GO BILLS!!! haha

[beatingthis]

I am a Ravens fan too! Go RAVENS!!!!


Poor Giz, At least you not a fair weather fan. lol! I will be watching tonight.
Preseason  Redskins and Billls

[gizzy32]

Yup first preseason game for us tonight. Glad we got rid of T.O tho. I think we will do better this year, now stop laughing:) Your ravens won last night, but the panthers looked horrible.

[beatingthis]

Of course we won last night!!! Going to cheer for the Bills just for you Giz.

Hubby is a huge Eagles fan he is just flipping out the McNabb is with the redskins lol!
We are moving to PA in 2 weeks I will be the outcast. Philly fans make me nervous.

T

[oompah54]

GO RAVENS!!!  Philly fans aren't so bad.....It's those darn Steelers fans you have to watch.  lol

[narla]

Ok I live in Australia but I'd love to have a go,as long as the games are posted each week then I can make a pick.It will be interesting to see how I go seeing as I don't know anything about American football.

[narla]

When does the actual season start.

[addict3]

I'm in this year, was busy last year and thought about all of you guys...

Trouble won waaaaay to many times the year before last...I just did not like being beat by a girl!!!

Thanks for taking the time to list them and keep up with it all troubleinohio

[beatingthis]

Preseason games are starting now. Season starts for my team on Sept.13th Whoo Hooo
I have another Ravens fan here too. You gotta pick yourself a team. Just search the NFL in google you get all the teams info and then pick one!!!

Terry

[narla]

I've decided I'll pick the Detroit Lions,because our local Australian rules football team is the Brisbane Lions.So now someone tell me I've picked a great side  LOL

[gizzy32]

ROTF, you have picked THE WORST team in professional sports to win, haha. The Detroit Lions have been the worst team in the leauge for a few years now. You get 1000-1 odds on that pick at least. Good luck lol.

[narla]

Can I change my pick,I've just picked myself up off the floor literally rolling around laughing.

[gizzy32]

They won 2 out of 16 last year and the year before they broke a record for being the only NFL team to not win a game in whole season. Do you want to take another team? lmao.

[narla]

Ok what about Cincinnati Bengals,because I was born in the year of the tiger

[gizzy32]

That is a better pick. I was laughing too about the lions. So the Bengals it is. I am gonna go with the New England Patriots this year to win it. After that I am picking my team, the Bills, they only a lil better than the Lions narla. My team s u cks!!!

[narla]

This will be fun!!!

I'm lucky my rugby league team in Australia are in 2nd place on the ladder and will make the finals-I go for the Wests Tigers here,we won the Grand Final in 2005 and hoping to repeat it this year,

troubleinohio
What day do you put the games up?

[beatingthis]

Giz, Giz, Giz, Not looking so good for the Bills Dear oh Dear.

You better got with the Pats lol!

T.

[drifter0213]

tuesday afternoon ? i think after the tally for everyone points :)

[troubleinohio]

ok narla when you first stated you dont know a thing about american football- i thought- oh crapp,  you'll probably have beginners luck and end up winning the whole pool at the end of the season, but......then.....you blindly chose the detroit lions and the wiped that thought right away out of my head, ROFL! xo xo xo
as for when do i post the games, i wait til a few days before the games usually- I try to post them by Thurs or Friday at the latest for the games that fall on SUnday (most do until you get into the playoffs which you have saturday games too) and theres Monday night football (just one game),   sometimes they have a Thurs nite football game too. I then post the results Tues after I've tallied all the results for that week.  I dont start keeping points til real season starts, but if you guys want to for fun I can put up the pre-season games just so everyone can warm up their engines =)
btw Im happy to see so many hungry nfl fans this year!

[corey411]

All Pittsburgh has to say is HERE WE GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lindsay_T]

Count me in. Go Colts.

[beatingthis]

I just can't wait!!!!

[pillfree21]

Put me on the list.....GO FALCONS!  I will just be glad if we make the playoffs.  However, I must warn everyone that I am the two time repeating champion from my office pool, so Gizzy you might as well let the trophy go now!

Anyone else tired of hearing about Brett Favre?
