Last Chance: hRs first Pickem contest...

Alright guys, here's your last chance to sign up to play in hRs first "Pickem" contest.

We currently have 29 members signed up. If you're interested please contact me via PM or post here that you're want to participate.

The most important thing to remember is to choose the right game. We are playing in the "Pro-Beat-The-Spread" pickem contest. If you choose the wrong game, you'll have trouble finding our group. Do not choose the regular Pickem contest. Be sure to choose the "Pro-Beat-The-Spread".

Thanks for joining in advance. I'll leave this thread up until kick off on Thursday, Sep 4th.

[Skinzaholic]

I did...thanks for the info. But it keeps telling me that there was a flag thrown on the play. I did exactly what you said. Typed it in exactly as you PMed me. With the capitol letter R and the lower case pass word. I tried several different combos as well, and none worked. Is the league full?

[BossHog]

Can you sign me up? I'm looking forward to it

[Skinzaholic]

Jsarno... make certain that you are joining the "Pro-Beat-The-Spread" game... not the other regular Pick 'em game.

[Skinzaholic]

Hey Boss.... check your Private Message box... I sent you the info to join the game.


Also, welcome to HR.com!:)

I am 100% positive that is what I'm picking. Are you sure about case sensitive stuff? I did EXACTLY what you sent me. I do mean EXACTLY.

[Skinzaholic]

Jsarno... I just entered a new team and it worked perfectly.

All I can say is make sure you are picking the rght game... click to Join a Group... fill out the info for a Private Group... and follow the name and password... they are correct.

[jporterweb]

I'm in....just can't do it from work.... :(

I did that!
I scrolled down and went to join a group, then typed in what I needed to in the private group section. I don't understand what teh problem is.

[jsarno]

i've tried it all guys...pennskinsfan is going to try to, maybe he'll have better luck.
I join these types of things ALL THE TIME. I follow directions very well, this is puzzling me.

[CarMike]

Sorry jsarno. We'll keep trying for you bro!

[CarMike]

champbailey and NCskinsfanatic, please check your PM box.

[CarMike]

jsarno, I just thought about a problem that I was having at one time when I first started this thing.

When it asks you for the password, it may be asking you for your personal password and not the group password. I kept putting the group password instead of my password. Just a thought that I think could be the problem......

[jsarno]

I'll give that a shot and see if it works.

[jsarno]

it does ask for the "private group password" though.

[jsarno]

nope!
That didn't work either.

[CarMike]

DAMN! lol I'll keep trying......do you have Yahoo Messenger? If so, contact me there. I go by carmike24.

[Skinzaholic]

Jsarno... maybe you made someone mad over there... and they banned you? (J/K LOL)

[jporterweb]

can I do it too?

[higgybaby]

OOH! Pick me! Pick me! Ill do it, I can do it! I can catch, throw, and kick.... OOH! Pick me! :bounceit: :bounceit: :bounceit: :bounceit: :bounceit: :bounceit:

[Gump84]

If there are extra spots, I'll join. Thanks!

[jsarno]

Thanks to PSF for signing me up. Everything is OK, and working fine.
ALready made my picks too. I am SHOCKED that the SKins are a 3.5 underdog with all the Jets have gone throuhg and the fact the skins are at home.
(did I just give away my hand on that one)

[CarMike]

higgybaby and Gump84, please check your PM box. Info sent!

2 things...
1- you have the best damn animated characters I have ever seen. I used to find myself mesmorized by Micheal and the afro man, but now Elvis has just added a great new dimension!!! LOVE IT.

2- I will not dilute myself and say I will win. Fact is, I rarely win the picks games. Fantasy games, well, (not to toot my own horn) but I rarely come in worst than second ( when it comes to pickems, I'm a middle of the barrell type of guy. Maybe this will be the year I get lucky!
Look forward to having a fun league with all anyway.

[AGibbsGirl]

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one told me we started! Did I miss the memo? I'm going in right now....http://www.the-jungle.net/emotes/smiley_sheep.gif

thanks jsarno. CarMike found the Elvis guy for me. I just talking some smack. I'm better in fantasy leagues than I am at pickems. I just want to add some spice to the fun we'll have.

We haven't started yet AGG. The first game will be when we play the Jets this Thursday.

Not to worry. We wouldn't let you miss it AGG.....;)

[rskinsfan10]

Might as well count me in too

:lol1:

Gotcha!

The problem I find with fantasy leagues is people aren't as dedicated as Iam.
Iseriously study this stuff. I get 3 magazines a year and read all front to back. Then I go through each draft and calculate how many people are in it, how many positions I need to take, and then rank ALL players and the importance of each on a scale of 1-10. For instance last year I had Holmes as a 1, but Owens as a 2. (for the fact that the RBS were more important in that draft.) This year, it will be opposite because WRs will get 1 point for each reception, and keep the same stats as usual. Making Owens more important that a holmes or faulk or LT or RW. This is an art to me, and I take it extremely seriously.
Last year, I was in the top 50 in the ESPN fantasy league..there are over 250,000 poeple that play that. I came close to winning it all, but by season's end it was too predictable and most of us had the same lineup.
The picks are just flat out fun, and I look forward to playing with you.
So razz away. I'll start dishing, if EVER get in first!
WAIT, I am in first!!!!! HHAHAHA! (of course I am tied, but this might be the only time I see first place!)

You sound like the real deal:)

[Green-Is-Good]

jsarno, I wouldn't trust what those magazines tell you.

[AGibbsGirl]

This is very cool jsarno!

But I'm still gonna be the winner here

[Green-Is-Good]

I have my money on jsarno

I get a few an always take the FACTS then form my own opinions. Sometimes if I can't generate a true opinion either way, I'll listen to whatthey say...but I usually go by my own thoughts.

I appreciate the kind words GiG, I think I'll do well, but picking the winners are tough and usually luck. This is why women win a lot of office pools. (no offense AGG). I'll win my share, but lose ultimiately. (more than likely anyway)...it's fantasy games that I take MEGA seriously.

jsarno, some of us "lucky" women actually know a thing or two about football, in fact just about every woman I know loves football and follows it like most men do.
(Keep in mind, You all are not most men.)

[JoeDaSchmoe]

Yeah, but AGG, there are plenty of horror stories about women winning office pools when they pick the team whose jersey colors they like best, or who has the cutest quarterback, stuff like that.

Hmm..never happened while I was working in an office...where did you say you worked?

[redskins52]

I'd love to join.

I swear..there was a wife of a man in our office last year that won because of how well she liked her experience in a certain city over another. This worked out well for her last year because she doesn't like Chicago or cincinnati, or detroit, or Phoenix. (not too fond of Dallas either) We asked her after the season was over and she let us in on this. We then asked her who minnesota was, and she said (dunno...the eagles???).
Of course there are woman that follow, some very avid like men, but most women really don't know that much. They could barely tell you the mascots sometimes, and they definitely can't tell you what "encroachment" is. This is nothing against women...in fact, I think the less you know about teams, the better you are at picking the winners. The more you analyze, the more you cloud teh judgement.
The fact that you are here AGG means you are not the typical woman fan. Frankly I enjoy your posts, and insight. I think you bring a lot to this sight, and I will enjoy playing with you this year.

There was a commercial about women winning an office pool, beating all the men, by them picking which city had the best shopping. I laughed my a-- off when I saw it, because a few years back I knew a woman that did that. (she didnt win, but she did it none the less).
My mother is a person who picks according to the color coordination. Every once in a while she does remarkably well.

But have you ever heard a guy saying
"well their uniforms match so well, i'll pick them"????

:lol1:

[redskins52]

I am still not sure how to join.I guess I am confused

[AGibbsGirl]

The only thing that I totally agree with you about jsarno is that sometimes you (a general "you", as in, us all)can over analyze the picks.

~sigh~ I suppose some women do pick teams by the cutest OL buttshttp://www.the-jungle.net/emotes/moon.gif , but I just don't like it to be said out loud

I didnt know that OL had butts...

More like toads wearing polyester.


:D

[AGibbsGirl]

It's all in the eye of the beholder my friend!

Oh no...it's ok to say "you". If I didn't over analyze, I'd win a lot more. Being a fantasy player, it's too late...I already over analyze without even trying. I look at a game and think "well this coach has this stategy and that one has this, and this should fit that, and that should fit this, so the logical answer would be this team!" IT NEVER WORKS THAT WAY. Pro Football is the greatest game on earth, it's the hardest game to get a firm grip on.
Like when Nebraska plays Idaho college of the blind, you know they are going to CRUSH them. 60+ POINTS. But we have NO CLUE if we will beat the Jets tonight even though we are more talented. ANY GIVEN SUNDAY...!!!
Even baseball / basketball / and Hockey are more predictable. It sure is hella fun to try though isn't it?

~sigh~ I suppose some women do pick teams by the cutest OL buttshttp://www.the-jungle.net/emotes/moon.gif , but I just don't like it to be said out loud

That is just sick!!!
If you had said wr, or qb, or rb...I could go with that...but the 300+ pound o linemen....EEEEEEEEW!
