My Fantasy Football Season and Cuzoogle’s Pigskin Picks



Well, it’s that time again…the NFL season means Fantasy Football and pick ‘em contests. I’ve got a few more brewing than I originally intended. If I didn’t have to actually work and make a living I would have joined a few more Fantasy leagues. Well, I would golf and surf a lot more also…

I’m in one league with a bunch of colleagues that was supposed to start last night but something odd happened. All of a sudden we had an odd number and no one could agree on live or autodraft. I got roped into another one as a partner of a team with almost the same group. The commissioner of the second league informed me that he would not be using his powers for good. Nice. It should be a good time in spite of that. I’m also giving the site Pay The Fan a try this year. They have fun giveaways like a motorized cooler that you can enter to win without even playing. Talk about a conversation piece while you’re tailgating…

One of the other fun things I’m doing this yeas is competing in Cuzoogle's NFL Pigskin Picks challenge. Each week the participants pick the winners of the NFL games for that week. The blog that picks the most wins will get their 125x125 ad placed on the front page of Cuzoogle each week for the whole NFL season. At the end of the season the overall winner will get a cash prize and their 125x125 ad placed on the front page for the duration of the NFL postseason.

I plan on winning since the others will probably underestimate me. I’ll skip out on the trash talking and sneak up on ‘em! Bwahaha…

Here are the other blogs in the competition - be forewarned that a few are not exactly G-rated.

Thanks for your suggestions for my dog Jake!
The treats/tennis ball have worked pretty well so far.

I am in something like 10 leagues for the NFL and two in the college game. Can not wait to get the drafts all done!

Wow! I couldn't possibly do that many - I need time to go to the practice range and work on my golf game among other things!
