September 6, 200916 yr comment_68303 In all the bliss and excitement of a new season with a pro bowl QB I just realized, haven't seen any mention of pools this year unless I missed seeing it. If not it's cool, I know it's a lot of work to manage and my thanks for putting in the time in previous seasons. Report
September 6, 200916 yr comment_68305 In all the bliss and excitement of a new season with a pro bowl QB I just realized, haven't seen any mention of pools this year unless I missed seeing it. If not it's cool, I know it's a lot of work to manage and my thanks for putting in the time in previous seasons. Because of the turmoil at work (major changes taking place due to the economy) and increased responsibilities in my personal life (kids are having problems making ends meet and some have moved in with me to weather the economic storm) I decided it necessary to cut back on one of my major enjoyments, fantasy football. Last year I was commish for 4 BearsTalk Leagues and participated in a 5th at work. This year I am only playing in 2 and will not assume the commish duties of either one. I have lost track but I think it has been either been 6 or 7 years I have run Pick'ems for the forums. Unfortunately, as I posted earlier, I will not be able to afford the time or money to do so this year. I sincerely apologize to all and hope that by this time next year my situation will allow me to resurrect the contests for TalkBears' posters. Report

Pix, I really had fun with the Pickums, but, really, I understand your position. We gotta do what we gotta do. Keep following the Beloved Bears and don't worry about. Report
September 7, 200916 yr Author comment_68339 Totally understand Pix and really appreciate your doing the pools in the past as well as the things you and all the mods do here at talkbears.com to make this board what it is. The place I work for is directly tied to the RV/Marine industry we downsized a lot, I'm now the only production artist left when we used to have as many as four of us and now expected manage all proto and production art with little help and no extra compensation, while barely making enough to cover my expenses. It has been tough for everyone. I probably didn't see the message about this season but but completely understand. The important thing is to take care of your family and yourself first, anything here is secondary. Moving back home can be the toughest thing to do for both parents and kids. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers. Report
September 8, 200916 yr comment_68378 We can set-up a Yahoo pickem league. It won't be near as good or involved as Pix's but could be a way to at least keep the pick-em's alived. Report
