It is that time of the year again where Two Minute Warning will post every Friday at 2p to remind you to get your picks in for the weekly pool play. This year though, I will let ESPN’s computer do all of the work. If you want to join the Sparty and Friends PigSkin Pick ‘em please do so by following this link to the group front page. I will personally be sponsoring the group and will look forward to paying the winner (better known as myself) with a $50 Visa gift card at the end of the season. 2008 Sparty and Friends Pick’em Champ JB may even start showing up again now. Remember last year when JB beat out Sparty by .6? Good fun…this years format will be simplified by the ESPN computers so – hopefully it remains close the whole year this year as well.
Thursday is the years first game so get your ass over and make your picks already.
Also I didn’t make it into the Sparty and Friends FFL this year, so I am sponsoring a Mikey and Friends FFL at ESPN as well. My prize money will match Sparty’s…$20 or $25 to the winner…don’t remember. The draft will be ’snake style” – 10 teams….Right now I am in and so is PatPhish. the draft is tomorrow night at 830p EST. First eight guys to leave a comment and/or email me at mikeychx@hotmail are in. Drafting at ESPN…I will get the invites out before midnight PST.
As a friendly reminder, or incase you aren’t already in…here is the link to college pick’em as well…who the hell is JHenry – and how could you possibly pick BYU over Oklahoma? 100% correctness – yikes! It still should be early enough to make a difference there as well.
Should be fun this fall…Look for the 2p post on Fridays with weekly game updates and reminders.

I must be a friggin idiot… I even said in the Podcast that I was sure OK State would beat Georgia this week… then I picked GA in the pick-em. Stupid.
(Quote)
if there was such a thing as pickup fantasy sports, i think sae and i would be captains.
(Quote)
I’d consider joining yet another FFL, but I don’t think I’ll make it to draft live tomorrow night and I don’t feel like setting my draft order…but if you need to fill a slot, just send me the invite (rekcalsa-at-gmail).
(Quote)
I would but already in 5 leagues.
(Quote)
this made me chuckle
(Quote)
by the way…i am working on a podcast plug in to make things more bettered next time
(Quote)
It’s kinda ridiculous how you both stay right at the top…I’m hanging in there in baseball and I’ve done decent enough in the pick ‘em type stuff.
(Quote)
i was in 20 leagues one year and won 6 super bowls
(Quote)
thanks, i do OK. you’ll find my achilles heal is fantasy football.
(Quote)
really, we should listen to ourselves more. remember what i said about oklahoma, and wnot realizing it was in TX and not Norman.
(Quote)
i say fantasy football is pure luck of the draw (draft?) and matchups. baseball there is more stat studying involved.
(Quote)
I look forward to continuing my streak of finishing somewhere in the middle of the pack.
(Quote)
plus scoring is a lot different.
(Quote)
OK, just submitted my entry. I fully expect to get creamed like I did in the college pick ‘em pool.
(Quote)
Only 9 slots for the pick’em? That’s small…
(Quote)
First time doing FFL so I’m hoping I can compete at the top like I’ve managed with FBB.
(Quote)
no silliness…thats for my ffl…pickem is unlimited
(Quote)
scoring is a lot different this year…you guys okay with this or should i keep track same as last year…i liked that not everyone could get points last year every week…it kept everyone in the game
(Quote)
remember last year…5 points for 1st, 4 for second…through 1 fr 5th…but everything was divided…
(Quote)
Mikey why don’t you just jkoin the league I’ve got going…We need a few people. League entry is a mere $20 and theres a good chance yoiu’ll win with the misfits we have…I was gonna post later.
Anyone can join me…the catch draft is in…5 hours.

I can take money via paypal.
(Quote)
any way you want to score it is fine with me
(Quote)
I know I’m slow today, but is anyone else having an issue signing up for the pick-em?
(Quote)
can’t say, my work blocks most of the fantasy stuff
(Quote)
i dont have money in my paypal, but will add it later…send me an invite $20 u say?
i will still be doing a league regardless…ill find some asshats to play even if you guys dont like me anymore…and even if you are in a sparty league…my league is free and u can still win $…whats the downside?
(Quote)
Nope
(Quote)
me either
(Quote)
Maybe your picks will just go on auto then.

That was meant for HawkEye.

I figured it out. Me + ESPN = Brain Dead Hawkeye
(Quote)
Mikey, if you still need someone for the FFL, I’m in, I’ve got one more team free with ESPN.
(Quote)
Just in time to get his MNF choice in.
(Quote)
you are in
(Quote)
What time is the draft? And which email should I expect the invite to be sent to?
(Quote)
Keeping track of peoples’ scores manually is so 1990’s. Just use the ESPN scoring – least amount of work for you.
(Quote)
If you still have an open slot for the FFL mikey, I’ll play.
(Quote)
Not much baseball talk on here lately. I guess it is because the only races left are the two team races for the WC in each league and that is about it.
(Quote)
And if you can’t fill the slots, I’ll take an invite, do some work on presetting a decent draft order, and then HawkEye it tomorrow if need be.
(Quote)
pretty boring season, actually. besides a couple more steroid issues, there hasn’t been too much drama. but stay tuned.
(Quote)

Hey while Mikey is competing I got 3 spots needed for the league with my friends.
What does that mean? For $20 you get to see maturity beyond your own years.
Email me asap if interested…we had a couple guys bail and maybe YOU could say you own GatorTrey.
(Quote)
Nice. Laughing here in my lab at that one.
(Quote)
sorry for competing…didnt know u had one going but the six i got so far is looking like a pretty fun league…im in yours and signed up…
(Quote)
I am JHenry. I picked BYU over OU for two reasons. One, even though I didn’t go to BYU I have always cheered for them (I am Mormon) unless they play Utah State (where I went). Second reason was more logical. I don’t usually comment here, so no one knows me. If I pick BYU to win, and they lose, no one notices, but if they win, my gamble pays off and I get more points.
(Quote)
did you email me mikey? cuz I got nothing.
(Quote)
oh, maybe you haven’t created the group yet.
(Quote)
havent created the group…will be doing so all at the same time so i can send out the invites etc all at once
(Quote)
hoping to get me a fiesta trio, a hawkeye, a jaco
(Quote)
I hope I get the #1 pick so I can take Favre.
(Quote)
Hey mikey if you need somebody i can do it. I’ll get creamed though as the NFL has sort of fallen off my radar a bit but still good times
(Quote)
What I find is the guys who win pools like this or NCAA brackets pick mainly favorites and go for 1 or 2 upsets. If you hit your upset, you win. Good to have you posting here now. We need more
