Well everyone, it's that time of year again where we watch modern day gladitors risk serious injury while playing with an oddly-shaped ball. 
"That sounds like me every Friday day! Courtesty of this little blue bill my good friend Bob Dole turned me on to."
"pResident Brandon! are you saying you only have one?"
"That's right, honey lips, you have to sacfrice one ball to Baal when you join the Fascist dictator's club. This was a policy instituited by my good and close friend, Benito Mussolini, to make our mutual pal Addie feel better about himself."
You and Il Duce were personally aquainted?
"Oh gosh yes, we met on D-Day when he helped me stop this character named Corn-Pop from rescuing these anti-vaxxers that were drowning in the Siene. We still go apple picking together every January, no wait sorry, that's Lee Kuan, the guy just loves homemade applesauce, I can't eat it myself, makes me go brown in my shorts, possibly I'm allergic to cinnamon."
"Something seems off about that story......doesn't apple picking season end in October?"
"Not in the Southern Hemisphere, Jack! Anyway, I think my Fightin' Blue Hens are gonna be hoisting the Stanley Cup this year! They have an unbeleivable point guard, the best I've seen since Old Hoss Rabourn!"
Yeah, he was one of the greats alright. Anyway, see the next post for important info!
Let me know if you want on/off the list
So guys doing the picks contest is a lot of work, if WhoisAlanGreenspan?, Mmichaels1970, and Red Badger didn't help me out last year the results would still be pending ;). So this year I made a Yahoo group instead, it's called Freeper Football.

It will allow you to make picks for week 1 starting tomorrow. If you have any questions let me know.
And If anyone wants to do a traditional manual picks contest on this thread or just post them without keeping track, feel free!
Thanks Impy, I’ve joined the Yahoo group under the same name as last year, Bungle1. Looking forward to the new year and hope quite a few join us on yahoo, it’ll make keeping track of wins and loses way easier.
Sign up everyone, it’s easy!
Great to hear from you Impy! Looking forward to another season. I’ll hoist one for Bender too!
Bump for attention

Thanks Imp...I’m in...lurker no more.
For Bender2, I resolve to only pick my Loins each weekend.
11SEP2022 Lions v Eagles - Lions win, straight-up.
Caveats, which by no means will cancel the above choice.
- But not by much
- If they can keep the Iggles below 27 points.
