Follow the instructions... the first item is Pick Set name (?) . That is your team's name.

You can make the other decisions about email addresses, etal.

See you there!

I’m a little surprised that no-money pick’em still goes on, especially with the prevalence of fantasy football.

[GeronL]

Its hard to predict pre-season cuz you never know if the starters are going to play much

[GeronL]

picking winners is easier and faster than managing teams

[Terpfen]

I’d disagree with that. Managing a team amounts to doing some pre-draft research and then swapping out players depending on their bye weeks. Once in a while you accept or reject a trade offer.

[GeronL]

If you say so. You also have to make sure the players you picked are actually playing that week in real life and replace the injured ones and look out for Bye weeks that can blindside you.

Oh, btw to all, there was no option given the commissioner as to how many persons may join the league so sign up while you can.

OK, but you have to join my FR back up site; see tagline

We should make it fair and let all the teams that play the season end up with a superbowl ring.That sounds fair,just ask Nancy or Barbara.

Players’ bye weeks are displayed during the draft. You then swap out as necessary. If you consider bye weeks to be a “blindside” then the issue isn’t the bye week, it’s your drafting. Build depth.

[taxtruth]

I forgot one thing,the team that does win the Superbowl has to share all of it's profits/earnings with the other 31 teams.That sounds fair doesn’t it?We don't want anyone to feel like they weren't a winner do we?It could hurt their feelings and promote hate.

[GeronL]

I usually end up with little depth, like the Dallas Cowboys

[Terpfen]

You should probably improve your pre-draft research, then. Or just cheat and and use a reference site, like Rotoworld.

[clbiel]

Done. I’ve already marked the Broncos to win every game. LOL

[InvisibleChurch]

you See there!

Sorry I wasn’t #1 on the signup list, I was away from the ‘puter.

I thought you set this up last year in July and found out I was wrong, wasn’t until later in Aug.

Just glad I didn’t get shut out, only 50 IIRC.

Many thanks, and look out — I’m really a Ravens fan despite my handle, I’m just from the Philly area originally.

[InvisibleChurch]

Not a problem. Glad to have you aboard.
