Counting the days..
With football season fast approaching, has anyone given any thought to starting a blog-office pool? Would anyone be interested in such a thing?
Or better yet, a fantasy football league?
I figure we'd need 12 people for a league, but I plan on doing a weekly blog-pool once the season starts proper.
If you're interested in a league, let me know.
But I'm doing the blog-office pool regardless.

I've done the free NFL.com fantasy league the last 2yrs and SUCKED in both.
If you want to feel good about yourself then let me join.
I suck at pools too.
If we do a fantasy league, trash talk WILL be coming.
Loser.
I fully expect, and encourage trash talk. I don't do it because it jinxes me, however, since there is no money in the pool, what's the harm.
We can have trash talk sunday on the blog too. A place for all the trash talking before game time!
I looked at sportingnews.com and they have a 4.95 fee for a fantasy league.
So you're sayin' you wanna play for money with the league and not a free one?
NFL.Com has it fo-free.
How much can you win?
I'm too lazy to go see.
you don't win anything. I'd rather play for free..lol
So far, we have two, we only need 8-10 more. I wonder if KOM is up for it.
Wouldn't it be great to get some women to play too? Maybe Kara would like to play, she likes football. If we can just get her to emerge from her college shell.
I'm trying to recruit on my Blog too.
D-mon, exactly HOW cool is the PSP?
It's a portable hi definition machine capable of playing music, movies, games, or whatever else they get the urge to slap on those UMD mini-disks.
It's coolness is on par with a James Bond gadget. The only problem is my aging body is failing me as I sometimes have difficulty working the buttons. They aren't in an ergonomically convenient position.
It comes with batteries, which is novel in this day and age, but they're designed by sony, and thus replaceable only by sony, so when they finally die, as all rechargeable batteries do, I'll be forced to buy another one from Sony. But, I haven't killed it yet, and even if I do, I'll just plug it into the wall.
I'll put it to the test when they get football for it.
Oh, and yes, recruit on your blog, you have much higher readership than I.
Count me in monkey. =) bring it on bitch!
So, I should buy one?
It gets the "monkey" seal of approval?
YOU have higher readership buddy.
Is this some "reverse" trash talk?
I'M ON TO YOU MAN!!!
I'm not listening to Dave!!
LAlAlalalalala!
Ok, I signed in to NFL.com, all we need to do is concoct a league name. I'm sure we want a private league to keep uninvited riff-raff out.
We also need to decide what flavor of draft we want.
And yes, it gets the monkey seal of approval. If for nothing else, the ability to play video games on the toilet.
They should incorporate that into their marketing strategy.
I've managed to be fan for these many years without every having participated in a fantasy league.
I'd be happy to join. Let me know what I need to do.
Welcome aboard KOM!
So far that leaves us with:
Jerk
Lisa
Kom
Mercy
Myself
Only 5-7 more to go and we'll have enough for a league.
Go to www.nfl.com and click the FREE FANTASY FOOTBALL link and register. I will set up a private league and let you all know what it is, and I will email you the password so you can get involved. At this point, perhaps the easiest, least time consuming method would be to allow the draft to be conducted automatically. It's also the most fair for anyone who doesn't know a whole hell of a lot about who's who in football, as we all take our chances equally.
I think I hate football. I'll get back to you when I know for sure.
Hey your league needs the Ghengis.
Slick splash, Monkey.
Our league DOES need The Ghengis, glad to have you aboard
Thanks, Lisa did that for me.
my friend told me last night he signed up at his office league.
you should totally draft him.
cause he like knows NOTHING about FF.
sigh.
Im taking a break this year. Every year its the same thing-- I have no idea who is hot.
Used to be you could get Marshall Faulk and the Holt/Bruce twins if you were lucky.
WTF do I know...
Jack!
that makes it more fun johnny!!! join us !!!!! we want you!!!!!
heh
Yeah man, we're doing auto draft so you don't HAVE to think, just...hope...lol
DAVE!!
How do I change the color of my print and such on me Blog?
Since when is the Hulk blue? Is he sad? It looks cool either way.
You change the font color settings in the CSS parameters on the blog template.
The CSS parameters are listed in the header of the html of the template. Each 'part' has it's own CSS settings, look for the one for the posts, find an html color guide on google, and start changing font colors.
Look for font-color: #FFF, the colors are listed in hexadecimal value, so you just put in the hex value for the color you want.
And the hulk is blue because he's night-lurking to pitch you to the moon while you sit in your car honking your horn at him.
oops...
Look for :
body {
background:#000000;
margin:0;
padding:40px 20px;
font:x-small "Trebuchet MS",Trebuchet,Verdana,Sans-Serif;
text-align:center;
--> change this color:#6699FF;
font-size/* */:/**/small;
font-size: /**/small;
}
I would love to join. I LOVE FOOTBALL!!!
Daaaaaaave? How do I change the color of my links? I can't find it.
I'm copying your blue, cuz you're my hero.
I'm thinking "Matrix" green though.
WHAT A COOL NEW BANNNER!!!!
Goodenow is gone. Are you happy now? :)
join the football league binsk...you KNOW you want to
How many do we have for the league now?
So far we have:
Jerk
Lisa
Kom
Mercy
Myself
Ghengis
Patrick Bell
Jillybeans
That's 8, I think we need at least 2 more but I'm not sure.
There's no way Goodenow could have kept his job after that debacle, regardless of who was really at fault. That's the way the chips fall. Now if they can just get rid of that prick in the league front office everything can get on track to better things.
But Buttman won't leave because he lacks the wisdom to see that he is part of the problem.
The links color change is just like the body color change, you just have to find the links CSS parameters in the html header for it.
In fact...it's right here:
body {
background:#000000;
margin:0;
padding:40px 20px;
font:x-small "Trebuchet MS",Trebuchet,Verdana,Sans-Serif;
text-align:center;
color:#6699FF;
font-size/* */:/**/small;
font-size: /**/small;
}
a:link {
color:#66CCFF;<----right here
text-decoration:none;
}
a:visited {
color:#0066FF;
text-decoration:none;
Oh, yeah, and if you want Lisa to make you a banner, I'm sure she could be persuaded to quite easily.
Just ask her.
Ummmmm...I know nothing about football! But I guess I could have beginner's luck?
