The NFL season kicks off a week from Thursday, and I've set up a free, weekly PaulKatcher.com pick 'em pool for the third straight season.
We'll be using the same CBS SportsLine engine, but I removed all of last year's participants, just to start from scratch.
To jump back in (or join us for the first time):
Visit http://pkpool2005.football.sportsline.com/e (yeah, I know the URL still says 2005)
Enter "steinbrenner_is_king" as the password for entry
You will need to log in with your CBS SportsLine account. If you don't have one, follow the simple instructions to acquire a free one.
The rules are simple:
Make picks against the spread each week.
If you miss a week, you'll be awarded the lowest score posted by those who made picks. That way you don't get crippled with a 0 if you forget to make selections before leaving on a weekend trip.
The top three finishers at the end of the year will receive some cheap prizes. You'll have your choice of items from my sports memorabilia collection, framed prints of my photos, an autographed doctor's note from Carl Pavano, etc. Most importantly, you'll receive all the glory and adulation that comes from winning such a prestigious pool.
Good luck!

3rd Annual Dennis Frey Sr. Football Survival Pool PK.com reader Dennis Frey Jr. has done a tremendous job running this over the past two years, donating over $3,100 to the American Cancer Society, in honor of his late father. Minimum donations are very modest ($10 for one entry; $35 for three), and there are some pretty cool prizes.
I want to sign up, but really don't want to enter that password.
P.S. when are you going to switch to WordPress and Akismet so I don't have to do this damned Typekey thing? I'm telling you, it is the shit at spam-blocking.
