Know-it-alls, this one's for you

Just more than a week remains before the start of the regular season, so, the folks down the hall at our sister publication, TBT, will once again be participating in the Gridiron Challenge.

It basically allows you to pick the winners of each NFL game each week and compare your success rate against the experts -- one of which will be me (hey, we use the term loosely around here). I'll be making the picks in the Sunday paper this season, so my Gridiron picks will likely mirror those.

And this isn't all for nothing. There are some weekly and season-long prizes at stake. The grand prize is a $1,500 gift certificate for amazon.com, which apparently sells a whole lot more than books these days (who knew?). The weekly prizes include some team gear and the like.

Go to this website to sign up. I promise it'll be painless. It's not one of those annoying five-step deals, trust me. I'd suggest asking the site to send you a reminder email each week so you don't forget to enter your picks.

I have no expectations given the unpredictable nature of the NFL. But, at the very least, if you can best me you'll have bragging rights on this blog. Just try not to rub it in.

Ok, I've signed up, but if I start getting emails about increasing my manhood, I'm going to be upset (how do they know? My ex promised to never say anything as per the divorce agreement and restraining order).

Thanks Stephen. I avoid Fantasy Leagues because it could cause one to cheer for someone they normally would not cheer for. This appears to not include the point spread also. All around it seems to be plenty of fun. Believe it or not, I am actually looking forward to the season even more than before joining up. Good luck to all involved.
