I was browsing leagues at Yahoo to see if there were any leagues with scoring systems set up that I liked and had opening (I know, I Know, I am already in 5 LOL) and I saw one with a max of 4 teams and a 3 round draft with the only starting position was kicker. Thats it, draft 3 kickers, no other players, play a 4 team league and have a 2 week playoff at the end of the year weith all 4 teams making the playoffs. LOL And there are 3 of the 4 teams filled! OMG, that is one sick league. http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/339097/settings

Good job Gary! Yours truly comes in second, with 11 wins, with Gary besting me with 12 correct.

Week 16 features games on Thursday night (Indianapolis at Jacksonville) and Saturday night (Baltimore at Dallas). We all know the drill by now for early Thursday night games and this is really no different. Just keep in mind that there are two early games this week (if you chose to make selections for those 2 games) and then the remainder of the slate of games for Sunday & Monday.

Your live online draft is set for Sun Aug 24 8:00am CDT Please arrive at least 10 minutes early since your draft will start promptly at the assigned time. The draft order will be randomly determined approximately 30 minutes before the draft begins. Managers, make sure to check your league settings before you draft http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/35883

Congratulations guys, great job!! I came in dead last, ;-(

http://www.talkbears.com/Contests/index.htm Good luck, will there be a PREFECT picksheet entry this week?

The Picksheet for week 2 is now ready to go. Be sure to get your selections in before 11 AM CST this Sunday the 14th. http://www.talkbears.com/Contests/index.htm I will be uploading selections made daily, starting tomorrow night (Wednesday). We will see how this works out and go from there. Good luck this week!

bowlingtwig & marked both came in with 12 wins this week, with bowlingtwig inching out marked for 1st place with the tie-breaker. Great job fella. Looks like this is going to be a tough contest this year. 2 weeks with lots of games left, a lot of entrants with some very impressive scores. As of the end of week 2 - 58.1% is 12th place. That winning percentage usually will take first place by the end of the year in previous year results.

Picksheet for week 3 is ready. Be sure to submit before the start of the first game on Sunday! I do not ever recall all 16 home teams being favored to win against the spread! TalkBears Pick'em Contests Good Luck! Pixote - John

Last week I was surprised we were only 2.5 point underdogs to Philadelphia. This week I am surprised we are only 3 point favorites (at the time of this post) over Detroit. Go figure.
