Lombardi Handicappers' League: I Can't Believe We Made 5 Years

[reismark]

Well, ladies & gentlemen, it's that time of year again... to showcase our knowledge of professional football (and I mean real football, not what the rest of the world calls "football") by picking games week-in and week-out, and laughing hysterically at those poor fools who do worse than us.

For the first time as far as I can remember, there will be no major changes to note in the way the main pool will be run. (I say "main pool" because this year, I've added some fun secondary games which have no bearing on the traditional pool - but to find out what they're all about, you'll have to join...) The pool will be run using CBS Sportsline's fine & free Office Pool Manager service.

To participate, you will need a CBS Sportsline account if you don't have one (to get one, go to http://cbs.sportsline.com and click the Register link), and you will need an invitation. To get the latter, simply post here or PM me with an active e-mail address, and I will send requests for invitations as they come.

And before everyone asks... yes, we will have team play again.

Send those invites my way, NOW!

JohnT proudly points to his sub-.500 record last year and waits for people to ask him to be on his team...

Hmmmm....I don't think I played last year (damn babies ruin everything!!! ) but since I'm so blase about the 2nd child (what's his name again?) and #1 son is semi-independant...I'll throw my hat in the ring!
If JohnT goes completely unloved, I suppose I might deign to lower myself and be his teammate..]

Invitations sent to Sloww and Zop.

I just want to point out this very important part of the pool rules...

To make my life easier, I am asking that you set up your displayed names in a very particular way. This is to make it easier to keep track of team scoring and to know exactly who everyone is. Your displayed name should be the same as your handle on the website I know you from. If you are a member of a team, put a space after the handle and, in brackets (the [ and ] symbols), include your three-letter team code. (Click the Team Codes link above if you don't know your team code.) To change your displayed name, simply select Personal on the Options menu - the box to edit is the one that says "Your Name".

To look at the pool rules in full, click Pool Rules on the Help menu once you have access to the site - the URL is http://lhl.football.sportsline.com

hey I would like to be included.

I haven't been doing this the last few years, so I'll have to catch up on how you guys do this.

But I finally have sundays off and can watch football. That's all I ask for in life.

PM sent.

Now I just have to hope that the rumour SKYNZ will cut ESPN is false

[Berzerker]

Reismark, I signed up as Sothisrising which is the name I originally used when we started. Should I re-register under some form of "Berzerker"? I was signed in as Berzerker but can't remember my password and no longer have the email address I used back then so I can't recover the password I used.
