none of the usual tricks (substituting 2008 for 2007 in the url) bring anything up.  I wonder (guess I could look it up) when it rolled out last year.

Just looked at last year's thread--first post was on August 28, so I'd guess some time around there. So it should be up soon, if they're doing it again. (And they should--it drives a lot of traffic to their site.)
Let's get right to it.

Anyone going to join the ESPN football pool I put up on the Sports Thread this year?? A few did last year. I remember one or two was but it became too late. You do have a week to add your name. Looks like it could less people from last year due to a couple people who I cannot contact (they would bring a few extra people). Check out the sports thread for the link.

Thanks to Outsports for the tip -- here's a website that lists best/most popular Fantasy Team names:

http://www.fantasyteamnames.net/football

personal faves: "Romosexual Tendencies", "I Beg to Dilfer", "My Vick in a Box", "Brady's Panties in a Bundchen", and (perhaps inevitable) "GreenBay FudgePackers".

"LT in the Loafers" -- LOL.

"Tomorrow Never Addais" -- Clever.

"As Fargas I Can Tell, Justin Sucks"  -- Can't tell if this is a Raider fan, or Raider hater.

Well, it's back.  But it has changed, and I don't see a way to have our group again...

That's a bit odd -- group or no group, you were always pre-registered by virtue of being a "registered Foghead". Now it's a separate operation altogether, it seems.

OK, I'm in. but (crappier still) after you save your picks you don't get a nice, easily-cut-and-pastable list.

Thanks for finding this, Rod.  I've submitted my picks for both pools.

I'll get in before Thursday, but in the meantime I just have to say how much I love Rod's sig quote.

"Music is the Earth, People are the Flowers, and I am the Hose."
