It's That Time: Lombardi Handicappers League Season Four (FOOTBALL PICK'EM)

[MOBIUS]

Week 1 is always a notoriously unpredicatable week - there's usually a couple of unexpectedly one sided blow outs for a start...

[Ming]

Yeah... week one is always a riot. You can usually count on the person that knows the least about football to win the office pool

Oooh! That's a low blow, Ming!

As Al Davis always says, "Just win, Baby!"

Don't matter how...

I'm just saying I can't be arsed wasting more than the most cursory time on WK1 - maybe it'll come back to haunt me, but right now I ain't losing any sleep...

I admit I'd be more prepared if I hadn't been frozen out of Sandbox this year!

OK, what am I doing wrong?

1. Checked sportline and changed my Name to J-Rabbit (with TRU for Team Rush).

2. Went to View Picks page to see that my name was accepted and correct. No problem.

3. Wend to Make Picks page and got this message:

ERROR:
The system did not recognize your team. Please contact customer support.

Wazzup with that??? Has anyone here had that experience? How do I fix it?

Needless to say, I did not contact custome support. Came here instead, cuz I gotta get back to work. Will check back later.

Might just be a temporary site problem. I have experienced it before but when I went back in everything was fine.

It's probably not a good idea to wait till the last minute to enter your picks, in case there is a problem.

[SuperSneak]

Just keep trying to "make picks". I got the same message when I was on there and it fixed itself.
VLAD! Pick! I can't be chastising Mobius if you are the slacker!

(Vlad is probably asleep in his new giant leather Assomatic).

[Chris 62]

I can't even get back in to make picks.

Tell you what guys, if you like, I'll do a manual total of it instead, I don't trust CBS, and I can't seem to even get in.
The scoring would be simple:
+2 for win
nothing for tie (push)
-1 for loss
Failure to pick game is LOSS.

Let me know, but be quick, we only have one more day before kickoff of 2002 season.

[SlowwHand]

I tell ya what. If I can beat Imran in Sandbox this week, the Sneakmeister at Yahoo, and Ming in Pick 'Em this week, the combination of events will make me giddy with happiness.
Kind of like the Cowboys. They can lose all the rest of the games, as long as they beat the Redskins.

[SuperSneak]

Gosh, I'm going to be really upset having to spoil your fun, pops!
Better check the Yahoo message board...there's a little somethin' there for ya.

[Chris 62]

As both of you ignored my message, I'll take that as a no.

Oh well, at least I have my office picks.

[rah]

I just went in and had no problems viewing picks.
And it does seem to show that you haven't made your's yet.

Ming, please don't wait till the last minute. AND ADD YOUR TEAM INITIALS.

RAH

[SlowwHand]

I didn't comment, because I don't run the circus and didn't think it was directed to me.

And Sneak? You're going down, buddy.

[SlowwHand]

I just went and checked. It timed out once before I could get in, like bogged down with traffic, but I got in.

[SuperSneak]

Chris...you should post your picks here to make it official if you are still having a hard time.

We'll see, Slow...we'll see. My team isn't that great, but it should be a decent contest.

[rah]

Putting them here will make it confusing for calculating year to date leaders later.
