I agree... it is time for some football.

I prefer the pickem like last year. Will not have the time to invest in picking players.

Confidence Points    No

Confidence points is a feature used to weigh your picks based on how certain you are of the outcome. I figured this would be a touch tedious and dispensed with it but I am open to changing it back.

Spread      No

Again, decided that few of us probably have experience with spreads

Tiebreakers     Yes

Much like last time. How close you are with the final scores of Monday night game. Details are on the website

Start Week      1

Yahoo catering to late starters....we are not them

Drop Scores      Drop 1 score

Can still be modified

Deadline      5 minutes before each game

I think we are all happy with this one.

I like your surprise pick of Cardinals. They could spring a surprise.. a very very potent offense, if only they can get some production from their OL

To continue your (wilfull?) misrecognition, I propose that Mohun Bagan should win this year's NFL, even though I doubt if it will be any club other than Dempo!

Leinhart is the weakest link of that potent offense. If he comes of age, then they may the greatest show on earth

Agree with LN....the key question is whether or not the offensive line will be able to protect James and Leinart. I have to admit though that I would take Leinart as my weakest link any day.

The interest in any sport can develop .. as one pays more attention and starts understanding the nuances - the strategy, the implementation etc.
American football, while it looks barbarian in physical terms, is a lot of fun as one starts understanding the game's nuances.

that reminds me....I need feedback on the confidence points feature. CP suggested that we give it a shot...I am only going to make a change if there is unanimous consent. So if anyone is against the feature please let me know.

I am. I think we should keep it simple.

If someone can explain what the confidence factor rules are and what it adds to the game, I might be persuaded from my current position.
