Just as I did last year, I've selected PoolHost.com to "manage" our NFL pool because it seems to be the best fit for our needs.

It's easy to get in if you didn't (or did ;) ) play last year. Click on the link above and login (if you played last year) or register (if you didn't) in the red options section at the upper left. Those who played last year, if you don't remember your password, PH has a "lost password" function that should get you back in. Once you've logged in or registered, click on the "Pro Football Pick 'Em" button and log in to pool "LitPool11" with the password BDSM. Then follow the directions for playing the pool.

The first regular season game is Thursday, September 8th, with kickoff at 8:30 Eastern (US) time. Get your picks for the week in before that time, please!

If you have any issues getting in, let me know via PM or response to this thread, and we'll see about working through them.

And folks, let's decide early: Do we want to eliminate a certain number of weeks (worst weeks, of course) for each player? PH has that option automated, and we can choose any number of "best" weeks from 4 to 16 to count in the final standings. Can we get a consensus going before the season starts?

This is just a pre-season reminder; I'll probably start the "Official" pool thread on Sunday, September 4th.

Good luck, everyone!
 
Wow... in little more than 12 hours, this thread made it almost to the bottom of the page. Just bumping to give people an extra chance to spot it... :D
 
I don't post as much as I used to, but I will definitely get involved this year as per usual :)

As for "elimination" weeks - my theory is always to let it ride and include it all, but I am happy to go with the majority.
 
I'll sign up too.

I'm also running a Fantasy football league. If anyone wants in, just PM me.
 
Im in, too. This was a lot of fun last year. Looking forward to another fun season with all of you.

Thank to SW for taking care of our little football pool.

Oh and as far eliminating worst weeks, I think that we should just let it ride. All of us have a bad week or two, so it balances out.

Good luck everybody!!!
 
I'm in .... thanks for organizing Sir Winston!

As for eliminating worst weeks, I agree to just let it ride, but I'm up for anything.
 
I vote no to removing bad weeks too.

I think everyone has 3 - 4 really good weeks, 3 - 4 craptastic weeks, and the rest are average.

So in the end it all averages out.
 
I'm in. I say no to removing bad weeks.

This is going to be a very interesting season for the NFL.

Thanks SW for setting this up again!
 
Just bumping up a little for those interested who might have missed the thread...

BTW, we currently have 7 players officially signed up at PoolHost, but we have just over a week to go, so you have a little time left if you've not had (or made) time to get in there yet.
 
Ive joined now.. Hardly seen any news so far, so my knowledge is gonna be limited this year. Not good for a fantasy draft I have in a week or so.
