@realjohnboy,
Happy New Season all.

I had decided not to play this year because it is too easy leaving a bunch of Yanks toiling in the rear but Johnnie has invited me and I'm a very polite sort of person who never refuses an invitation without a good reason and it being a piece of cake is not all that embarrassing when I come to think it through.

So here goes

Green Bay
Atlanta
Philadelphia
Tampa Bay
Jacksonville
Houston
Clevland
Kansas City
Baltimore
NY Giants
San Diego
Arizona
San Francisco
NY Jets
New England
Denver. 28--17.

@spendius,
I can't see how Coin Toss can avoid coming to 50/50, give or take a small statistical error, over 270 or so games and thus is a complete waste of time. The more seasons CT is operated over the stupider it gets because the more games there are the closer to 50/50 it gets. And 50/50 won't win this game.

Looking forward to kicking your ass this year!

I wont speak to how Coin Toss/Coin Toss might respond to the "complete waste of time" charge. CT/CT fantasizes about beating the odds someday in the same way that buyers of lottery tickets get to dream about someday beating odds that are a lot worse than 50/50.
Perhaps you are referring to my wasting time on CT/CT. Could be, but you should realize that I have to fill a couple hours of airtime a week for the next 4 or 5 months. I encourage trash talking, which you are pretty adept at.
Thanks for playing along.

@realjohnboy,
A week away almost to the hour from the 1st game...which should be a good one - New Orleans @ Green Bay.
8 players in so far. I looked back to see how they had done in {Year 6} and [Year 7]. I think I got my years straight; this is #8.
Spendius {1} and [1] is clearly the player to beat.
After that, in no particular order, is JohnBoy {4} [11]; Osso {12} [7]; Jespah {24} [21]; Mysteryman {21} [15]; Tico {12} [15]; McGentrix {2} [10], Cowdoc {11} [11].
I have 12 other players committed to play, I think, and I am chasing a few others.
We have, alas, no new players. That surprises and disappoints me.

Here is the schedule for Week #1 to show you the format:

Buffalo @ Kansas City

You can post your picks in any format, such as NO, Atl, Phil...or you can take the time to explain your choices. Or trash talk.
Remember that you can change your picks, so there is no penalty for picking early.
There are some other rules, but I will get into them once I remember what they are.

Excellent, Ragman. I had you on my nag list for tomorrow.
Ragman is good at this, finishing in 7th place in 2009-2010 and in 3rd in 2010-2011.
Edgar, who posted his picks earlier did not finish close to the top, but maybe this will be his year to shine.
If anyone has seen Liontamerx and Lmur, please let them know I am looking for them.

Your title for this thread fooled me. I thought it was one of those fantasy football things. That's why it took your invitation to get me here.

@realjohnboy,
I don't want to be thought picky Johnnie or getting up anybody's nose, apart from Tico's, but why don't you use the same thread every season. As soon as you activate the new season it would appear on all our My Posts and you wouldn't need to go to all the trouble of looking for us. And we could use it to report on close season shenanigans.

@realjohnboy,
Thanks, RJB. I think I've been doing this for about 5 years. FWIW, not that it means a thing, I also had a first place and/or a second place finish a few yrs back when we're 18 players.
