|  #1 Posted on 27.8.03 0206.34 | Instant Rating: 5.54 | Yahoo has a new game called Survival Football, and here's how it works....each week, you pick ONE team to win their game. If your team wins, you get to play next week. If they lose, you're out. Simple as that.
The catch is that you're only allowed to take any team only once, so if you pick (for example) Houston as your guaranteed pick in Week #1, you can't pick Houston again for the rest of the season.
No doubt many of you have played something like this in football pools at work, and it's a hella-exciting game. I made the league big enough for 50 people, though the rules of the game are such that it could all conceivably be over after week one. Good luck and good picking.

And why you'd pick Houston to beat Miami Week 1 is beyond me! :)

And Bullitt, my metaphorical pick of Houston was just to be used for example purposes. Miami should win in week one, and it might be a good strategy to get your 'Miami game' used up now because lord knows they never win in December.

| #10 Posted on 28.8.03 0923.38 | I'm in, and I think this year I'm just going with the revolutionary "bet on whomever is playing the Bears" strategy. The thought of Kordell and A-Train in the same back field...I think there's a chance this team may score no regular season touchdowns this year.

It sure would have been easier if everybody had used their Wienerville screen names so that we knew who everyone was.

| #12 Posted on 28.8.03 1009.29 | Checking the email addresses usually clear it up for me. Not always though. I'm playing this one as WhyAmIAddictedToFootball? Cause it's a question I really can't answer. Well, that's not true. If I can blame WCW/nWO Revenge for my wrestling addiction, I can sure as hell blame Madden for football.

As for the specialty title, you'll have to talk to CRZ about that. Speaking of which, our beloved admin has yet to join. Guru Zim is already in, CRZ, so you can at least compete for family pride.

Seeing as I'll miss a few consecutive weeks in October whereby I won't be able to make picks, there isn't a point to me joining... since I can't win. :)
