Looks like the spread does influence the standings. I am quite new to watching NFL games. Usually only watch the endings and only if it is close.
ZCaveman used to do these pools and knew a lot more about football than I did. ZCaveman also did well on FunTrivia. I do well too unless the questions are about cricket, soccer, football, hockey, etc. And I have never done any sports betting. Good luck with your future picks.

ZCaveman passed in mid-April of 2016. RIP ZCaveman
He is still one of my favorite people on Talk of the Villages. Many the people I have interacted with over the years since I joined TOTV in July of 2007 have passed or moved onto some other way of communicating online. Quote:

The specific question was asked at least three times before the season started. Above is one of those requests. The current commissioner participated in these point spread pools for years. To claim ignorance now in the third week of the season, without even an apology, is inexplicable. Just a tiny amount of due diligence by the commissioner was certainly expected.

Picks in early in case storm cuts power.
You might want to get your picks in for next week early in case we lose power here in the Villages.
We have never lost power for more than 12 hours or so during the 17 years we have lived here. I do know people right outside the Villages, however, who lost power for a week or more. Last edited by Taltarzac725; 09-24-2022 at 11:55 AM. |

And still no apology? At this point you are able to turn over your commissioner's role to a more knowledgeable person. I can ask Gene (Pepe) Coppola if he wants the the job. He has won several cavemen pools over the years and is capable of actually answering questions. Let me know buddy. Last edited by affald; 09-24-2022 at 04:52 PM. Reason: Full Name |

So now we know the obligations of commissioner? To needlessly repost things to which you wrongly answered?

So you will no longer answer questions as the yahoo commissioner? Or can I ask the questions in the yahoo app? Is that an option in yahoo you have activated?

The spread is having quite an impact this week. It looks like I have not played in these NFL Yahoo Pick-Ems since I played in the 2018 one. I had been in the 2017 game. ZCaveman passed in 2016. I did handle the 2013-2016 NFL Yahoo Pick-Ems as Commissioner as far as I can tell.
I do not recall being familiar with the spread before 2022 in the Yahoo games. But did enjoy ZCaveman's games and the huge amount of work he put into them. His were before 2013. I was having fun in the NFL Survivor Leagues but could not find one this year. Good luck with the rest of this week. And remember to get your picks in for the upcoming week in case Ian knocks out power in the Villages for an extended amount of time. Last edited by Taltarzac725; 09-25-2022 at 09:24 PM. |

Sorry if my not informing about the spread's use caused people to drop out of this 2022 NFL Yahoo Pick-Em this week. I have had fun with this game since 2011 but had dropped out in 2019-2021 because of cyber bullying on the Yahoo message board in 2018.

If I expect a team to lose, would I not pick the other team? Also can you clearly explain how this "spread" thing works? I am new to this American football.

Remember to get your picks in early this week in case things get bad here in the Villages due to Ian.
And stay safe out there. |
