Ive gotten awful at these. Just chalk me up for 0-14 (or whatever)) to start because of Thursday games. Nice award set. With only 5 VSNers still around odds of winning are stupendous !

[MrBill]

A dozen folks have entered since last night! You have until 5 minutes before the Packers @ Seahawks game on Thursday night to register.

[MrBill]

Getting close to a couple of dozen people participating. You have until tomorrow night at 5 minutes before kickoff of the Packers/Seahawks games to get registered and get credit for all games this weekend. You can still join before Sunday and just lose the one game.

[MrBill]

The number of people entered has passed 30. You still have a few hours to join and get your pick in for the season opening game!

Can we change this to "any winner must have at least a ## post count" ?
If they are new..cool...but they also have 4 months to actually participate in our forum. Im thinking 50-100 ?


FYI I almost missed tonights games...lulz.

I think Ryne Candy, KNUBB and Price can vouch for VSN members winning prizes lately

I dont mean it as a "VSNer should be the one winning" I mean it in an "encourage activity" way. For new users I think a 50 post min is low but effective.

Does this have an ios app ?

I don't think Yahoo has an app for Pick 'Em, only traditional fantasy support. Are you using an iOS device these days?

Eww no. IPad mini I was lent for a week was tempting for about 2 days...I missed using Spen.
Just wondering why Yahoo has 838274673 apps for everything but not one for pickem. Thought maybe it was iOS exclusive.

You are right about the lack of an app for Pick 'Em. Yahoo has pages of apps but not one for this?! They won't even release the API so that somebody could create a 3rd party app.

Here are the results from week 1-

1. MADDEN Maniac 11-5
2. Concussion Protocol 10-6
3. KOF always4gets TNF 10-6
4. rg3 on a healthy knee 9-7

Don't forget to get your TNF pick in before kickoff tomorrow night. If you missed out last week, it's not too late to join since we are dropping the lowest 3 weeks of scores from the Pick 'em!

[MrBill]

About 90 minutes left to get your Steelers/Ravens picks in for this week.
