It's weird...you are the first person to ask. Usually Howard starts bugging me about it well over a month before the season and others ask. That makes me think participation would be down. I wouldn't mind doing it but at this point we only have a week.
out of all the things I do, pig skin pick em is the most challenging. Last year I had my best year betting with lines, teases, parlays, etc,. I've done very well with fantasy the past 6 years, however the past two years I've struggled a lot. I guess it's being forced to bet on games you would never even consider betting on in real life. Still find it extremely challenging though and fun because many of the guys that don't post in here much anymore, usually show up for that.
OK, it's set up. It will be interesting to see how many participants we get. I emailed last year's participants from that league page in espn, which was 41 people (though there were probably only 20-25 still active by year end).
However, Howard always wanted me to post the thread like a month before the season and I kind of always felt that might make people that wanted to sign up not do it immediately, so would put it off, and maybe forget to sign up at all.
I also think it might help that there are far more users on the forums right now than a usual September since the playoffs are going on...typically it's pretty dead right now, after the draft and free agency.
