The pool is at: http://lhl.football.cbssports.com
To join the pool go here: http://lhl.football.cbssports.com/e and PM me for the password.
As my first act as Pool Manager, I have changed the Pick Deadline from "One hour before week's first game" to "One hour before day's first game". This means that we are no longer ****ed if we miss the (still stupid) Thursday games.
**Update** However, it appears that CBS added new option or I have been managing in my sleep. Deadlines are now 5 minutes before each game.
As my second act as Pool Manager, I will listen to any objections you may have about my iron-fisted rule and demands for a replacement.
As my third act as Pool Manager, I hereby request feedback as to whether invites should be sent via email to keep it to people we know or using handy-dandy url link (which may or may not require use of the Pool password and thus may or may not be used by the general public).
As my fourth act as Pool Manager, I announce my intent to remove one of the Slowwhands participating in the Pool. There are two of them, and one Slowwhand is more than enoughI will either confer with Sloww via PM or remove whichever one does not make his picks.
If you have participated in the League at any time in the past 10 or 11 years you do not need a new invite provided you can still log into that account.
Also, I check here far more than I check LHL or any email that may be associated with it, so for a speedier response post here or send me a PM.

The OT at APOLYTON is like watching the Special Olympics. Certain people try so hard to debate despite their handicaps.
Baron O RIP.
I managed to remember my email and password, now if I can remember to make my picks.
We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.
Congrats of getting it fixed at last. Let me know if you are looking for new additions once the regulars are sorted out.

The past is history. Tomorrow's a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present.
I don't see why not, it is just a pick them league.

Sweet...sign me up then....or should I be signing myself up?

yay
One suggestion... after we get a better feel for who is playing, it might be worth deleting many of the old people who haven't been around for years
Keep on Civin'
RIP Baron O
But they might come back! [insert yeah right smilie here]
PM sent to Sparrow.

I'd start out my culling reismark.

Alright, aside from the fact that Sparrowhawk and several variations were already taken, I am now signed up (the first new member in how many years??), though I am signed up as "Ravenhawk315"
I already said this in my PM to Coldwizard, but just so everyone knows, a password is required to be allowed to join the league.

You're kidding! Really? How unique.

LOL, he didn't think I would need it, and asked me to let him know

I wasn't certain if that password was for that or for something else.
Sparrowhawk, you should be able to go to the pool page, options, personal, and it should be able to display any name you put. We had all sorts of things in there when we were doing teams. Some of it's still there but I don't even remember what they stand for any more.
Yeah I was on TTT, but don't remember it either so I deleted it.

SKP was Slicker Pickers with me, rah, and Ming. I think we may have won as a team once. We took it out of our names a long time ago though.
I took it out because we were the only team left with three members and it seemed silly to keep it
Maybe if we can generate a lot more interest again, we can include a "team" feature.
Keep on Civin'
RIP Baron O
Dream on.

Monthly bump. Anyone else wish to join in on a decade plus of randomly guessing NFL picks against the spread? You get to talk trash and mock people for their picks. And new this year, you're no longer screwed if you forget that Thursday games exist. (You're still SOL if you don't make your picks by first Sunday game).
Also, let's vote on whether to reinstate playoff scoring. Simpler not to, of course, but it does allow for a complete season champion. More work for me of course but we can't all be slackers like Imran (who hasn't really made picks since 2003). Voting means I won't hound you via PM about participating (I have a list)
Playoff Scoring:
In Favor:
ColdWizard
Opposed:
rah
Abstain:
-Jr
Sloww
Spaced

Opposed. The season is long enough and there are more than enough opportunities to score.
It wouldn't be bad but I don't think it warrants all the extra effort. If the site automatically kept track of it like the regular season, I would change my mind.

Don't freakin' care. If CW wants to do the work, I'll go ahead and make playoff picks.
If not, that's fine too.

I'm ambidextrous on this, too.

As long as I don't have to do any work, I don't care if we include them or not
