Hey Dan,
Are you in this pool? How are you doing? I would have thought the whole Register staff would have come to Randy's aid and would have at least been his secret picking team...or maybe that's the problem! "

Come on people liven things up by posting more to your profiles. What's wrong? Are you afraid to disclose a little more about how you make your picks.
Check out my strategy (cteiii) it has worked well for me so far. -:) "

My 28 after three weeks is not much to brag about!
Just look up the name Seabag_fan ... yep, a Seattle fan, suffering through a season where the team should go to Pike Place Market's fish stand where the fish are tossed around. The three people who catch the most fish get a uniform and a spot as WR's in the starting lineup next week. "

Born and raised in Tacoma/Lakewood (no jokes please) makes me always think about the Dawgs and the great Puget Sound area...salmon, clams, big green trees, snow capped Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges and yes where I learned sail...oh the tears are flowing now.
perhaps # 3, 4 and 5 can give us a little input....maybe they are run a ways from NSH and don't want to found....but still love NFL football polls. -:)
You would think that if we had 318 players, more would want to post.
Come on folks speak up about the fun you are having or how miserable your picks have been so far this season. Remember the pool will drop tour four worst weeks. I personally want to keep my first three, but knowing that the pool rule say they will drop the 4 worst lets me want to take more risk each week from here on out. WHAT ABOUT YOU OTHER PLAYERS? "
