Hell it's never to early to take sign-ups! A game for football fans to see who the best "picker" is.
First game of the NFL season is September 11th, I believe.
College varies.
This isn't for money, unless you guys want to put in $1-2 in a paypal account for the entire season and the winner at the end takes it all? If you want to sign-up let me know! There are two ways to send in your picks: Sign-up for the ESPN Pigskin Pick-em and send me the name of your entry, or just e-mail me your picks. I will participate too so when the time comes I'll post my entry name as well. Whether people want to put in the $1-2 or not everyone can participate, but only the ones that paid could win the prize pool if there is one.
Participating in these has gotten me involved in every game last year. It's a fun time...I never thought I would enjoy watching the Packers beat anyone .
(I know it's like 2 months early, but we've pretty much all seen the people asking to sign-up for the NES Challenge late.) Cut-offs WILL be enforcd this time.
Just a fun thought.

I'm in. You might want to make a group on ESPN and then have us sign up for it. That way it's a little more organized.

If you do it for college instead, I'm in. I can't get interested in the NFL.
Obviously, you would have to leave a lot of games out of the Pick-em. Maybe games involving the top 10 or 15 teams? Well, you probably won't make it college anyway, just a suggestion.

We can do college as well, I'm avid to both levels. Same thing on ESPN I'll set-up a group when it comes time and if need be we'll go heads up. I just love me some football is all.

Count me in for the NFL.

Thou, because I am wroth, be not dismayed, for I shall win the strife, whoever circle round within for the defence. This their insolence is not new, for of old they used it at a less secret gate, which still is found without a bolt. Above it thou didst see the dead inscription; and already on this side of it
descends the steep, passing without escort through the circles,
One such that by him the city shall be opened to us. |

For college, are we picking winners, or do we have to pick the spread?

I do the College Pick 'Em on Yahoo, but I hate picking against the spread.

Another fun one to sign-up for is the eliminator challenge.
You pick 1 NFL team each week, but you can't pick the same team twice. If the team you pick wins you move on to the next week. It's a fun game. Plus if any of us does good enough you win money from ESPN!

Douche, I'm not sure what happened, but I signed up, but my user name is Wyatt. Must've come from the account I already had on ESPN.com.
P.S. Why does the spell check red-underline "must've"? That's a valid contraction!

it's dominating ESPN, but we don't have to let that played out story dominate our forum, user. Everything relating to that has already been discussed.
