2013 NFL Pick Em Challenge!

#1 Post by littlebeast13 » Thu Aug 29, 2013 7:49 am

It's that time of the year again... I renewed the group from last year, although everyone who plans to play will need to rejoin it again....

League Name: WWTBAM Bored (Group #43601)

Password: MBRS (all caps)

Choose the "confidence points" option when registering your team, since that is what we've played with the past few seasons with only a few complaints....

And here is the link....

Good luck to all and one....

Someone's gotta occupy the cellar so I'm in.

Your loss. There's always plenty of cellar squatters in the Pick Em group as well for you to grumble about...

Oddly enough, it's not just the headline. The second paragraph mentions Elway. Then back to Manning.

We all got schooled by a soon-to-be English teacher.

This was my worst year ever. I blame the Texans.
