    Cheesedoodle. Removed “Wolverine” from name as I never got an invite and figured I had to sneak into the contest because of probation violations of my Wolvies.

    I have no idea why you did not receive the invite? It was sent to your home network. Still funny though.:)

    Has anyone in the group talked to or heard from Bill Vaulters recently? He has not responded to me and I am a bit concerned.

    San Diego Kid is my friend Nick...he does local sports announcing and reporting for VSBN (Varsity Sports Broadcasting Network) and he was in the pickem contest last year. He knows Jason Day pretty well because he used to work with Jason's father-in-law.

    Don, would you please refresh my memory? Are we picking winners only, or are we also ranking our picks? I think it's the former, but my memory is shorter than it used to be.

    Sid, straight picks, no confidence points. However, I have changed the games from Yahoo standard picks, to top 25 games each week.

    Great! Thanks, Don. That's what I thought it was. I'm in 2 other fantasy pick'em leagues (ESPN), which rank the teams. It's "only" 10 per week, so it's not mentally burdensome. I didn't think we ranked our picks, but I wasn't sure. As the season moves on, the top 25 games should make it more competitive.
