SITE NEWS: Join Our Official Pick 'Em And Survival League Pools And Maybe Win A Gift Card

The start of the season is almost among us and I can't possibly procrastinate making this post anymore. It's time to join Battle Red Blog's Official Pick 'Em and Survival League via Yahoo!

You made it.
You made it.
Thomas B. Shea

We made it through another offseason, guys. We kittening did it. Pat yourselves on the back for not going insane during the long, hot summer. Conversely, seek medical attention immediately if you did, in fact, go insane during the long, hot summer.

Anyway, I had a lot of fun running the weekly pick 'em and survival football leagues last year, so I thought I'd do it again... this time with a cash prize for each winner. I've generated quite a few Bing points the last few months, and I can convert them into gift cards. We'll see how much I can get by the end of the season, but I'm hoping for $20 per winner.

There'll probably be a tie for the Survival League, but we'll figure that out later. There was a 13-way tie last year because of those good-for-nothing Jacksonville Jaguars.

This is the easier one. All you have to do is pick one winner each week, but, if successful, you can never pick that team again. If not successful, you're out of the league.
