Who's Ready For Some Football?

[littlebeast13]

I think the Bored football picks thingie has been left to me the last few years, so I'll go ahead and get it started now...

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/pickem

Group Name: WWTBAM

Group ID# 28656

Password: squirrel

As we've been doing the past few years, this pool does use confidence points to go along with picking winning teams.

I am so happy to be joining a sports game where I can't have a no hitter thrown against me every week...

[ShamelessWeasel]

I can't seem to join the group.

I am interested in showing how bad my forecasting skill is.

And if anyone wants to join the fantasy side let me know.

[ShamelessWeasel]

It wants the group id not the group name.

[littlebeast13]

It wants the group id not the group name.

Stupid Yahoo. I've added the group number...

I'm in, under the name "You Know Why I'm Here".

[Bob78164]

As usual, I'm too lazy to decide on confidence points. Good luck, everyone! --Bob

[wbtravis007]

I'm in.

Pretty sure I'll be getting them all correct this year.

I'm in perfect position to get overtaken by Vandal's son again in the final weeks...

I love how I always seem to do well the first week despite having no idea what to expect out of any of the teams...

He's the two-time defending champion, as he reminds me every week!

[Vandal]

Week 2 was quite a bloodbath with all the upsets.

Having the best W-L record is meaningless.

[Pastor Fireball]

Week 2 was quite a bloodbath with all the upsets.

Not for me. I jumped from seventh to second.

Don't worry, there's still plenty of time to leapfrog me when the inevitable collapse comes...

I lost my grip on second place this week, but I'm only 5 points out. Still plenty of time left in the season, so I don't have to resort to pulling a Belichick yet.

The Boneheads move up to 2nd but LB stays in the lead.
I had a pretty good week (for me) but I'm still 90 points back. There is always next week!

I have no idea how I kept the lead after such a crappy performance this weekend. In fact, my 21 point lead is odd given that the only week I had the top score was the first week. But the wheels seem to finally be coming off the Squirrels bandwagon...

Week 8 standings:

1. LB's Evil Squirrels 671 78-41
2. Vandalians 635 78-41

TClark wins the week but Vandalians also jump over The Boneheads. LB stays in first and expands his lead.
Everyone except MarkBarrett and I have won a week. Skippy is the only team to have won twice.

[MarkBarrett]

Congrats andrewjackson for winning week 9. I'll try to win Week 10 after putting myself in the early hole missing the first week.

[littlebeast13]

Well, this looks like the start of my eventual downfall....

Could they have just stopped playing FB after the early games Sunday?

Week 9 standings:

1. LB's Evil Squirrels 720 85-47
2. The Boneheads 687 88-44

7. Skippy 656 76-56
8. andrewjackson 641 71-61
9. MarkBarrett 536 69-47

Hey, hey, I won a week! That was after forgetting to post my picks until Friday so I automatically missed the Thursday game. And I won by losing. If I had been correct on San Diego winning then I would have finished 2nd to The Boneheads.

In the overall, LB stays on top but The Boneheads and You Know Why I'm Here move up into 2nd and 3rd.
