    Woodbuck hasn't been around to set it up, but feel free to do it. I am sure the usual suspects would join.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    I'm in a Pick-em in another forum, but would be pleased to play here as well this season . I'm not a Programmer/Geek and would only be a player. I will be looking for the PackerRats Pick-em and will be ready to compete against this forums members this fall .

    Not being a participant at all in fantasy football, sports betting, sports pools, or anything similar (if that is even what this is), can some explain what a "Pickem" league or what ever is?

    It was Jimx29 who sets up the Pick'Em league. Haven't seen him around for a while.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    I think its a regular old, pre-fantasy football, betting pool on the week's pro football action. Each week you get (nominally) 16 games and you pick a winner and rank your certainty of the pick (1-16, 16 being surest bet).

    If you pick right, you get the points associated with the rank. If you lose, you get bupkus. Add them up and highest point total wins the week and the money.

    At Yahoo, I assume the contest is not for money and its played over the entire season.

    First, I must complement you on your Avatar.

    Next, does this Pickem have one overall winner at the end of the Regular Season or lots of weekly Winners or Both ?

    Can this thread be made Sticky to Allow the greatest access to the most players ?

    Sounds Solid so far as I can observe . I shall visit and see for myself though .

    One overall winner but it does show weekly results, so you can give yourself a nice pat on the back any time you do the best in a given week.

    Also I set it to continue through the playoffs, but that's an option that can be changed. If enough people prefer to end it at the end of the regular season I can change it.

    Thanks superfan for setting up this years Pro Pickem. I managed to get signed up using the slowest WiFi Connection on the Planet..LOL.

    It's always been the case to award the Season's Championship based 'only' on the Regular Season's games. To receive recognition by Yahoo Sports one must continue the Pro Pickem throughout the playoffs.

    Good Luck everyone.
