Hi everyone. Pending us finding out RJB's status, I thought I would at least get a starting thread out there for this season's PickUm contest. Certainly NOT trying to step on RJB's toes or take over for him, but willing to run things if he cannot this season. So, for those who want to play again this year, here we go. It will be same rules as always, unless RJB comes in prior to the games at which case I will defer to him. So pass the word around that the thread has started and let's see what happens. I will have the 1st week's games posted by lunchtime today.

Green Bay at Seattle

New Orleans at Atlanta
Minnesota at St Louis
Cleveland at Pittsburgh
Jacksonville at Philadelphia

New England at Miami
Carolina at Tampa Bay
San Francisco at Dallas
Indianapolis at Denver
Monday Night
NY Giants at Detroit
San Diego at Arizona (+ Score)

This sounds like a fun idea for a game, CoastalRat. I might try it.
I thought about setting it up yesterday. Did you know that this goes back a decade on A2k?
August was not kind to me. I'm glad to see the month flip.
@CoastalRat,
because I love to play but am totally hopeless, can someone put in when the season starts?
thanks
@CoastalRat,
Tis the season. It's a date.
@realjohnboy,
Sorry to hear about August, RJB. Wishing you a healthy and hearty September.
@ehBeth,
It starts in two days, eb.
@realjohnboy,
I'm so glad you saw the month flip, johnboy.
I happen to like you. A lot.
But I hate your dog.
Now, the game.

@ossobuco,
Johnboy, more wishes from here that you have a highly improved September.
@ossobuco,
I have my picks, am going to sleep on them. Right now I'm vacillating re Denver and Indy. How could I? Easy.
RJB, echoing the wishes for an uptick in Sept for you. After a healthy break, I'll throw my hat back in the ring.
