Question LDS.net.NFL

Anyone interested in an NFL picking contest?

I think a private group on the Trib-Dnews site might be the way to go.

If there's enough interest, I'll set up the private group and post the name and a hint to the password (or maybe just the password) here.

Naturally,
R.O.

Zero, zip, nada. It's completely free and if you live in the Trib/DNews circulation area (aka Utah), you can win prizes every week and at the end. Almost won the end of year prize last year (dang those Giants).

Later. There are also prizes for everyone living everywhere. In fact, the local prizes may have been eliminated.

I would have said "Just you and me, Sioux (which in my family, we pronounce SIGH ox)." "You and I" is, of course, correct.

(I don't see anything in your profile to indicate that you're an English major, but you do read a lot and that's almost as good.)

While I'm thinking about it, here is a link to the site (old style):

UtahFantasySports.com: Pro Football

so curious people can find out all about it and register.

Naturally,
R.O.
PS. Wow! The forum looked up the link title and used it instead of the raw link.

I would like to but I'm in enough pools already. I try and limit myself. I'm in 2 football pools and with hockey season coming I'll be in a couple of those. After that I get too confused as to who's on what team and the different passwords. If it isn't a complicated pool, maybe I'll give it a try.

So would we set up a private group for us and we would just be competing against each other?
