I really hope you guys can play your fantasy thing for 17 weeks plus playoffs. Just tonight I told my wife the odds of a 3 week season and then they close shop. I predict a high profile player or coach succumbs to this evil thing. I certainly hope I have never been so wrong in my life. People are dying every minute of this thing.

We as a nation really need this season to work ... Something to look forward to as a form of therapy.. Something to rally around and unite us ..

Hey Fishy ... Ben is having a little difficulty with his long ball accuracy, but the short and mid range passes have been lasers. He is lean and mean ... Go STEELERS!

I tried once more to join the group. I got a headache from trying. Don't worry about trying to help, help is futile when it comes to me and compuders now. Believe it or not I trained operators how to work with cumbuters. 1/2 the day was spent by playing solitaire.

sphelps If you bet on games in Vegas or with the bookies and you are over 500 you are a winner.

I have always liked Ben on the field. When he believed all the hype when he was much younger hanging in clubs and was "Big Ben", not so much. He is in what I believe will be his last year even if he goes injury free which I doubt strongly. He has taken a beating and it takes it's toll. But that all depends if he has any money saved for the future. Many don't have any savings for many reasons and play 1 contract too long and that is sad to see. It's tough to turn down a few mill for a 1 year contract.

I believe he is a NFLHOFamer on the 1st ballot.

I think the Steelers are the #1 defense in Fantasy this year. That was a little surprising.... Do tell.......
3 games may be a stretch. There will be alot of spittle flying around every play....

Bumping this to the top, hoping to get a few more players to show me how stupid my picks are. Season is getting ready to start!

ok I did this about 10 years ago and it was an unmitigated disaster, starting with me dropping Flacco right before he exploded. My wife took over and did well.

I did auto fill, upset is I'll see the Donkeys win one after their sad, sad performance as of late and I will never, ever, even if to my detriment, pick the Girls.

We only have 8 entries in Pick'em. Plenty of room for more of us to play. The prize is bragging rights and ESPN gives some cash away and it's free to take that cash if you Pick'em good!
