Just three? Really? I know we have more people who like football around here. We have 12 players in the fantasy league, and pick 'em is way easier! The games start tonight; join up!

I love football but I'm too stupid to understand those poolie poll-ey doodahs. Besides - there's no Underdog category! Hell i can barely remember who lost last years stuporbowl.

I signed up. I look forward to coming in last.

chewie: it's just picking winners. If it was any more difficult there's no way I'd be doing it.

OK, I'll take the DC United to win.

If you don't mind me making random picks, I'm in. *(Knows nada about football.)*

BP, it's win-win.

If you don't do well, you say "Well, duh, I don't know anything about football."

If you beat us all down, you say "OMG YOU LOSERS I don't know anything about football!!"

DC! UNITED!
*boom-boom, boom-boom-boom-boom*
DC! UNITED!
*boom-boom, boom-boom-boom-boom*
DC! UNITED!
*boom-boom, boom-boom-boom-boom*

That's my TEAM, yo!

I'm blocked from fantasy sports sites here, or I'd join the gridiron pool.

Um, here's a hint. I know you're gonna want to make the homer pick and all, but DON'T PICK ATLANTA.

Hey, I gotta keep the peace at home, pal.

I joined but I want to quit. Mike, can you delete me? (Team name =OK!) I thought it was one game a week survival. I don't have time and this'll bring down my Yahoo Fantasy Profile Average, which would dissapoint potential investors, bring shame to my family, and discourage stalkers.

Thanks.

You're removed, rainbaby, and now I'm sad.

At least with this, it's impossible for my picks to keep getting injured (DAMN YOU FANTASY FOOTBALL!).

posted by drezdn 06 September | 12:15

Oh yeah, I forgot to sign up before. I'm in.

posted by kyleg 06 September | 12:49

I signed up, but it looks like no one else has made any picks. That means I'm going to KICK ALL OF YOUR SORRY ASSES.

posted by mudpuppie 06 September | 15:10

I've made picks. I think it doesn't show you anyone else's until after the deadline.

posted by gaspode 06 September | 15:12

Damn. Here I thought I was going to win by default. Which would have been fine with me.

Your Drunken Crane style is no match for my Zombie Monkey.

In other words, y'all'r goin down!

My picking-teams-that-were-good-in-Tecmo-Super-Bowl technique is unstoppable! Steve McNair is the best running quarterback ever, and he's going all the way to the Super Bowl! Go Oilers!
