Hey everybody, I was gonna make the thread today, I swear! Thanks Alan. Those of you who played last year should have gotten an invitation email from Yahoo today. If you didn’t

So, the pick’em thread won’t be tracked on FR?
I am not a fan of providing the Yahoo! algorithm with more info.
If I need to use the Yahoo! site to participate, I’ll just pass.

Rams
Lions
Panthers
Jaguars
Ravens
Bengals
Texans
Steelers
Titans
Chargers
Eagles
Vikings

Something is not right. I keep getting “The password is incorrect.”

As the volunteer, default scorekeeper I'd like to declare a mercy rule.

Past years we had picks being collected from;
FreeRepublic forum (most preferred because I can tally those before any games take place).
Walt's (Texas Booster) Yahoo group
and Impy's Yahoo group
And sometimes people send me picks through freep-mail.

Fine and dandy.

Hopefully everyone (Dr. Sivana) got the message that my posting the comped.com link was an error. I won't be going there for anybody's picks.
Somehow we now have the Yahoo group that I started yesterday and the group Impy started yesterday. I did get the Yahoo email notice Impy mentioned, but not until this morning. Last I checked, the Yahoo group I started had 10 or 11 players in sometime last evening. Could we please find a way to have only FR, walt's and only one other Yahoo group to collect picks from?

I don't know how to close my group down or transfer players. Maybe Walt or Impy could advise?

Just pick one and post it. I have all three Yahoo groups, including the one with ranking that’s a different group, all on speed dial. And... Thanks for keeping score. I’m sure it’s a PIA.

I am in Alan’s group that he started yesterday and Impy’s group. Just let me know which one we are going to be using and I will make my picks in that one. For Week 1, I have made my picks in both of them.

I guess you're right Poser. I took a look at the newest Yahoo group that Impy posted and saw there is only four players there who are not in the group I posted.

So please take note;
Impy, Tx Bolt Man, Teeman8R, warpaint.
I'm not going to go there to collect your picks.
That's Freeper Football group 38996.

Thanks WhoisAlanGreenspan? for starting the thread and reminding us to make our picks... point of order:

do you prefer we copy our picks into the thread or do you just take it from the pick list?

there is another freeper league that i belong to, joined it accidentally, but keep it active because i am a caveman that way, with points of confidence and all, but sometimes the picks differ...

does that make you mad? sorry if it does.

i just want to make it easy for you because you do so much.
