[Coltman51]

First of all I wish to thank all those who participated in the challenge this year and hope you enjoyed playing.   Some dropped off along the way, but that happens as life brings challenges and such into our lives. 

 

Second I apologize for not posting this a couple days sooner.  Have been putting in a lot of work hours this week,  also hiding in the corner sobbing from SheColt whipping my butt again this year.

 

Top ten results,  some forgot to pick during playoffs, but fewer games that wouldn't make a big difference.

 

Shecolt      169 points

 

Silent Hill   165

 

BrentMc11   165    ( our favorite, "I can't get into yahoo to pick"  player,   Had to manually add in a couple weeks for him

 

Bob (coltman)  161

 

Allyouneedisluck  161

 

Mac      159            Honorable mention for a Perfect week at the beginning of the year.

 

Suzie    159

 

All Luck   156

 

Gramz       154

 

Hungarian colt fan   151

[Gramz]

I'm going to Win it all next year.....   ;)

 

Congrats Shecolt   and Thanks Bob for organizing it.

[Coltman51]

It was my pleasure and will certainly do it again next year.  Wish you luck next year but not too much.

[shecolt]

I also want to thank you for organizing this challenge.  Participating in challenges like your's and Andy's makes all the games more fun for me to watch.

 

I may just retire though and not play next year so that I can go out on top.

Good idea, because I'm going to not make silly picks like NYG over DEN like I did this year

[shecolt]

Well, that was silly considering that Peyton and the Colts always came out on top of Eli and the Giants.;)

 

Good luck next year!

In the beginning i tried to pick a lot of upset picks, then I decided to just got with my football instinct. lol

 

Thanks, and if you come back you too

You'll be back..even if you have to send your picks in via telegraph in Morse code...you'll be back..

[BrentMc11]

OK Bob...laughing out loud on that.  Thank you for entering my picks.  

 

Congratulations shecolt on winning.  Silent Hill and I were coming to get you

 

Next year I will try and get on Yahoo again.....

[Coltman51]

To all my friends here,  the Draft is almost here for Football.   It has been a long off season I think for us all.   As soon as Yahoo Sports gets up and running for the new season I will let everyone know and resend invites or whatever needed.   Have a few months to work with Brent so he can log in all season this year,   just kidding buddy.

you'll play....you know you will..

[T Y Goodbye]

I'm going to play 2 teams this year..one i'm picking the winners, the other all losers (WITHOUT LEAVING BLANK)..with my luck, my losers team will beat my winners team..lol

I have often considered doing it this way also my friend.

[SilentHill]

I'm not going to go with any "gut" upsets this year. (Except the colts who I will predict to win every week regardless) I think I'll do substantially better

      Maybe, I am missing something here because it seems like the same thing to me.

 

If you pick the winners, then you have also by default picked the losers.

 

And, if you picked the losers; then you have also by default picked the winners.

 

So, what am I missing?

WOW,  that is very philosophical and mind staggering,  will have me thinking all night,  or until I have enough drinks to forget, lol

  You probably aren't the first guy and probably won't be the last guy who has felt the need to drink me away.

 

But, I still maintain that picking the losers is the same as picking the winners.

And, I was just teasing ya.  Sorry, couldn't help myself. 

Sometimes, the ornery side of me just comes out.  :GoodBad:

The season is not that far away, Can't believe this isn't available by yahoo yet.

[Coltman51]

Yeah I know,  just logged in to Yahoo again and not even a mention of it coming or near.  Think they would have their stuff together and ready

[Coltman51]

^{finally found link to pick em and survival,  but neither is activated at yahoo or ready to go yet.}

Last year, my dear friend Coltman51 ran the pick'em contest for our league in yahoo. I just saw that sign-ups have begun. I know Coltman wants to run this again, so when he creates a league, it will be time to join...

 

All I ask is a favor for the league..please set it up as a private league, so that its only us Forum members playing, and you can email us the password, so that it remains among our family.

 

Please let me and everyone know when we can join...can't wait to play again this year..

[Coltman51]

Thank you my good friend for the message and heads up.  You would think Yahoo would have notified me since I had the league last year.  No accounting for taste I guess.  League is set up and ready to go.  Come one , come all.   It is set up as a private league as requested,   it was last year as well.   Information,  just go to Yahoo Sports and click into the Pro Football Pick 'Em League.   Click onto Join a League.

Group ID is    1803

 

Password is      smart

 

 

League name is Bob's Challenge

 

 

I know someone here had a survival league through Yahoo as well last year.  If they don't get it going again,  I will have one or get one going as well.

 

Sundays are about to get fun again.
