  • Lombardi Handicappers League 2014

    The Lombardi Handicappers League is a pick'em league for all pro games against the spread where games are weighted the same. The weekly tie-breaker is the MNF score and the deadline for picks is 5 minutes before each game. There is no playoff scoring.

    If you have played before, you are already in. All you need to do is sign in to CBS to make your picks.

    If you have not played before but would like to, pm me your email so that I can invite you. Note: New players should enter whatever name they wish to have displayed rather than their actual name when signing up with CBS. Even though you can always change your display name, iirc it is not a quick process on some areas of the League (assuming the fix I pestered them to make still works; it appears to).

    Why should you play Lombardi? Three superb reasons:
    1. It's fun
    2. You get to show off your prognostication skills
    3. Ming is the defending champion; do you really want to let him win back-to-back?

    The League url is: http://lhl.football.cbssports.com


    Incidentally, I've granted pool manager access to Ming during the offseason. While I don't intend to pull a Reismark, **** happens.

    Yep already in. Jazzy new pages I see. At least you can still check out all the old records.
    It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

          In, picks made.

          Lombardi remains my longest-running Poly sports activity in terms of consecutive seasons, same league.

            I have an account at CBS Sportsline but it takes me to a old FFZ Confidence Pool. It is labeled NFL2005 but gives this weeks games. When I click on above link it won't let me in so I must need an invite. I'm trying under Demonbinder and it says not part of that league so please send me an invite.

              That's very odd. PM coming shortly.


              Page titles don't update when the league rolls over every season. Only if the pool manager changes it. It was Lombardi X or something for a few years before I took it over.

                    If Ming does all the work better and faster, does that mean I can retire?

                      I was surprised when I got the call. Haven't talked to him since last Christmas.
