    we gotta have some fun to keep things going. It's only been 3 weeks and everyone is still edgy. Gotta keep things loosened up :)

    Sandspur has encountered problems trying to make picks with an Android smartphone. Have any of you encountered similar problems with Yahoo?

    I never make my picks on the phone. But today the first time I submitted my picks none of the picks stuck and I had to do it all over again

    Thanks Terry, I tried myself this afternoon and experienced similar results. Must be Yahoo doesn't like smartphones?

    Cindy wins week #4. Congratulations Cindy. Treefrog now leads everyone by a few points for the contest. Tennessee Tom and Lady Volunteer are back in their respective competitive positions in the contest at #2 & 3.

    Scott, it would be so boring if we all always picked winners! :lol: I decided not to pick all of the favorites yesterday and it cost me dearly. Some real surprises yesterday in the contest.

    The same reason I do? To post relatively offensive team names in the hope that you win just one week so everyone will have to say 'JoePaKnew' hahahaha?

    My fantasy football teams are far, far worse than the stuff I do here or on yahoo with you guys. I treat you guys like visiting family in terms of my behavior. The team names I come up with for my other leagues are A-W-F-U-L. Totally tasteless! It should also be mentioned that I haven't lost a fantasy football league since Harlow was born. :D

    I have been hit with the lost picks issue that Terry mentioned. Suggestion: make a pick in the 1st game. click on "Save". If it saves that pick, you are good to keep making your picks. If it does not save, make a pick in the 1st game again and click "Save". I has never failed to save the second time for me.

    Tom,

    Are you using a smartphone to make your picks or computer?

    I can not believe the 0 and 4 start by Kelly at UCLA?

    Kelly is sacrificing this year and his senior class for a quick turnaround. The Bruins start 15 freshmen and play 22 each game. It's a rare upper classman who finds playing time at UCLA.
