    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?

    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.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    You can still join. Only a one game handicap!
