The spreadsheet with the order has been available since shortly after the season schedule was posted by the NFL. :) Just send 'em in using the order they're listed in the spreadsheet.

figure it out. My toolbar was hiding the sheet pages so it looked like there was only a single sheet.

Ok, so I guess I'll join again this year. After all, I came so close to winning last year (stupid Pittsburgh). Is it too late to send you a check? If not, can you send me your address again? Thanks.

Yeah, that cracked me up when pr0ner emailed me. I was confused as to whether you were messing up or simply trying to infiltrate his mind and screw with his decision-making process.


In other news, here's the current list; this includes a few who haven't yet paid. If your name is not on this list and you want in, please let me know ASAP. Making changes will soon become more of a PITA for me as I'm filling out the spreadsheet.

Just blasted this out via email. If you didn't receive it, let me know your correct email address and I'll update.
This is a test of the pool emergency broadcast system. The season's kickoff is tomorrow evening! If you haven't yet, please get your tiebreaker answers and week 1 picks submitted. As a reminder, the ideal way to submit your picks is a simple list of winners, one team per line, with an L after those you'd like to lock. Here are the week 1 games:

Week 1:
NO @ GB (Thursday)
ATL @ CHI
CIN @ CLE
BUF @ KC
PHI @ STL
DET @ TB
TEN @ JAX
PIT @ BAL
IND @ HOU
NYG @ WAS
MIN @ SD
SEA @ SF
CAR @ ARI
DAL @ NYJ
NE @ MIA
OAK @ DEN

Tiebreakers:
At the end of the playoffs, ties will be broken first by regular season cumulative point totals, and second by answers to the following questions: (submit answers along with week 1 picks)
1) Who will have the most sacks in regular-season NFL games this season?
2) Which team will have the best record at the end of the regular season?
3) What non-QB player will finish the season with the most touchdowns?

Housekeeping:
--I'm still missing donations from: GamerIrv, ChemNerd, theohall, KillerJo, Grievous Angel, The Meal, The E-chos and Ralph-Wiggum. Remember that there's a $49 inconvenience fee for every 17 minutes of tardiness after tomorrow night's kickoff, so get those in ASAP, please.

Good luck!

Cool, Meal. After a spate of donations last night, we're down to just a few stragglers:

Theohall
KillerJo
The Meal
Ralph-Wiggum

I think our roster is now set: total count is 42, including 4 Ironman entries (JC, Moghedian, Remus and GamerIrv). 4 pool rookies have joined us (deadzone, KillerJo, The E-chos, and CBUT). Be gentle.

I've received picks from about 2/3 of the pool. Bring on the foosball!
