Football Pool

The NFL season officially starts on Thursday, September 6th followed by a full slate of games on Sunday the 9th.

Anyone interested in making picks for bragging rights? I can setup a system for handling all our picks if enough people are interested. Also, if enough are interested, we can make a 'small donation' in the beginning and the winner at the end of the regular season takes it all! We can have a vote on who handles the donations.

Post here if you're interested. I'll start scouting out a way to handle the picks!

Seems I tried this last year and you were the only other one interested, i'm in if others get in.

Thanks for reminding me it's the time of year we will endlessly see grown men try an break each others neck and then hear all about it for days on end, Butt-Head!

Did I say football is a mindless useless activity? Kinda like a dog fight. IMO :poke:

That is all.

I just came into this forum to post a request for a pool, and saw this :clap:

But- can you guys handle it if a woman wins the pool? :coffee:

My grandfather, grandmother, and my mom are all gone, so I will have to "rekindle" an extended family relationship to get any info. I will try, though.

I would like to have at least 10 participants but I suppose I can have just as much fun wiping the floor with just a few. :)

Let's give you a little test on pre-season:

Ny Giants vs NY Jets - 8pm tonight

And since it's only pre-season, give me your thoughts on how the first stringers perform!

Preseason.....not really my thing, i'll bet you i've watched a total of 1 quarter of preseason football this year but i'll give it a crack anyway.

Eli Manning does not impress me, I don't think he gets Shockey involved early and enough...........Always liked Chad Pennington although he is injury prone, the Giants D is aging, Jets D is decent............I give edge to Jets tonight.

[OCA]

I'll be getting updates on the game I think on ESPN where i'll be camped out tonight watching the race from the bull ring known as..............Bristol.

I know Jackass will disagree with me but I don't like Eli. He'll never be half as good as his brother. I think Pennington is much better, at least before all of his injuries. Not having Strahan will still hurt the Giants too, although I think Plex will be back tonight. And FWIW - I think I read that Shockey may be held out due to injury.

Same here, believe it or not! Jimmie Johnson needs to get a top 5 to keep a grasp on the chase! Look how great him and Gordon have done this year, and wait until Junior joins the ranks next year!

I don't watch much NASCAR but i'll watch the short track races like Bristol, Martinsville, Richmond and also the super speedway races at Talladega other than that..........boring.

And trash talking I have planned! Don't let me bust out 12-4, 13-3.....it will be on boys and girls!

Jimmy, put up some sort of banner on the main page about the pool from here until Thursday afternoon, maybe some people don't come to the sports section.

Oops, I just saw this. Tried to rep you, and all... :beer:

Outstanding idea! More losers, uh, I mean, players, would be fun. :laugh2:

Damn straight its a good idea!:poke:

No prize besides bragging rights? Bah! Not a chance.

No prize besides bragging rights? Bah! Not a chance.

If we ask for a money pool then noone joins, i'd be in in a heartbeat but I tried that last year and literally only Jimmy and I were in.

I say the winner gets to ban the member of his choice for a week, is that enough to get you in? Hell if some cosmic miracle happens and I don't win and you do you can ban me...............but shit what am I saying.......that ain't gonna happen.

Agreed: it would be way more fun to ban Jimmy! :cool:

[jimnyc]

Bragging rights can be worth a lot, IMO! But I did in fact offer to have an ante to enter the pool, and we can do so for the year or weekly. That's up to you guys! Maybe I'll start a poll...

Hey, if this is what you guys wanted, I could ban myself for a week if that's what the winner chose! :)

[AFbombloader]

If you will let a new guy in, I will play.

[jimnyc]

Absolutely! The page for submitting your picks is stickied at the top of this forum, but they don't need to be submitted until the 6th of Sept.

[hjmick]

Fuck it, I'm game.

I hate commitment.

Question for Jim:

Which is the official trash talking thread? :laugh2:
