Bill, Maybe you received clarification in a pm from the commissioner. Are the picks straight up or with pointspread? I would join too if I knew the rules? Thank you

Dont know why it has not been clearly answered.

It should be easy to join if you have Yahoo.

Well that turned out to be wrong! It was not picking winners, but instead it was entirely about beating the point spread. In addition, the initial post did not say confidence points were required and the basis of the scoring system, so two long time villagers did not rank confidence and despite some good picks have zero points.

O and I forgot to ask, what is the prize? I think the good folks in the lead might be good friends of mine.

It looks like old gang is back on here with NFL Yahoo pick-em names like 224, Beau, Little Rodney, Gene and Michelle.

For any of those who do not know why they are using these. My then Earl Wooster HS School English teacher's daughter, Michelle Mitchell, was murdered on my birthday of 2-24 near the University of Nevada, Reno campus in 1976. I was 17. They got the wrong person for about 35 years and got the right one in 2014 with Rodney Halbower.

This is low for even the Yahoo posters from back then.

This is deliberate attempts to trigger some traumatic experiences I went through. Really nasty behavior. I expected better.

This person is on my Ignore list but I do have a duty as the person that set this FUN Yahoo 2022 NFL Pick-Em game up. So, I do have an obligation to, at least, acknowledge this post and copy it.

What duty and for what purpose? These posts are getting as confusing as the original rules.

Duty bound copy, before yet another edit is made. The unedited version was a personal attack.


GOD BLESS AMERICA

Current Value
Group ID#: 24389
Group Password howie2022
Confidence Points Yes
Spread Yes
Tiebreakers Yes
Start Week 1
Drop Scores No, use all weeks
Deadline 5 minutes before each game
Playoffs Yes

Perhaps the Duplicitous nature of the rules and especially the incorrect answers to simple questions were intentional in order to give those in the know a big jump start in points, which is what happened. In either event an apology or explanation is in order.

Looks like we have some of the same players as we have had over the years.

Gene Simmons sure is one cool guy.

Good luck this year.

Gene is cool. Though, not sure the guy in the pool is Simmons.

Exciting and close game last night between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks.

My father's father's brother's grandson or great grandson or something like that used to work for the Seattle Seahawks. John Idzik Jr - Wikipedia.

Remember the Thursday night NFL games.

KC won 27-24 over LA! Hope they correct this soon. It shows LA winning 27-24.

They still have not corrected this but all the other scores are correct.

If anyone knows whom to contact to get this fixed please give it a try. I have not seen anyway to contact the game keepers but am not very familiar with Yahoo.

Irritating that they still have the KC-LA game winner wrong!

Can you explain what you are talking about? KC did not cover the spread. POINTS IN TOTV22 were properly distributed.

Taltarzac725 09-22-2022 10:32 PM

Cleveland wins and our game set counted it correctly.

Congratulations to the Browns.
