Captain_Curmudgeon Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Anyone interested in an NFL picking contest?I think a private group on the Trib-Dnews site might be the way to go.If there's enough interest, I'll set up the private group and post the name and a hint to the password (or maybe just the password) here.Naturally,R.O.

siouxz72 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 hey cap'n! how much money with it cost us to play this game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Curmudgeon Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) hey cap'n! how much money with it cost us to play this game?Zero, zip, nada. It's completely free and if you live in the Trib/DNews circulation area (aka Utah), you can win prizes every week and at the end. Almost won the end of year prize last year (dang those Giants).Later. There are also prizes for everyone living everywhere. In fact, the local prizes may have been eliminated.

Captain_Curmudgeon Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Just you and I, Cap'n??I would have said "Just you and me, Sioux (which in my family, we pronounce SIGH ox)." "You and I" is, of course, correct.(I don't see anything in your profile to indicate that you're an English major, but you do read a lot and that's almost as good.)While I'm thinking about it, here is a link to the site (old style):UtahFantasySports.com: Pro Footballso curious people can find out all about it and register.Naturally,R.O.PS. Wow! The forum looked up the link title and used it instead of the raw link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Mormon Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I would like to but I'm in enough pools already. I try and limit myself. I'm in 2 football pools and with hockey season coming I'll be in a couple of those. After that I get too confused as to who's on what team and the different passwords. If it isn't a complicated pool, maybe I'll give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Wait...this is fantasy football? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Oh no..Not fantasy football. Just like a football pool. I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 So would we set up a private group for us and we would just be competing against each other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Curmudgeon Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 So would we set up a private group for us and we would just be competing against each other?Yes, although there are over-all rankings and prizes and like that. When you go to the private group, you see only the members in the groups and their standings relative to one another. You have a tiny message board and you can compare your picks with the other members and stuff like that.You can belong to any number (including none) of private groups once you register with the site.After that I get too confused as to who's on what team and the different passwords.I seem to recall that once you've joined a private group, you get to it without having to know the password. I stay logged on to the main site all season, so I only have to remember my site password once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Where does the money come for these prizes if it is free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Curmudgeon Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Where does the money come for these prizes if it is free?Newspaper Agency Corp. I seem to recall that some of the prizes are gift certificates and the providers get a free plug on the site. I'm old enough to remember when they'd give you greeting cards or dishes or something if you agreed to take the paper.Have you registered, Pam? If they charge you anything or even want your credit card number, don't give it to them. Maybe you'll get an e-mail urging you to subscribe to the Trib AND the DNews. The two newspapers have their banners around on the site and if you click them, you will go to Newspapers' web-sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Curmudgeon Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) Hi all,I've got the LDS.net.NFL private group set up on UtahFantasySports (aka the Trib and the DNews). Click here and you'll go to the site where you can login or register.Once you're registered, send me a message and I'll message back the group name (it's LDS.net.NFL) and the password (hint, if you want to try without the message: who is a mutual friend here on the forum of ALL of us? OK, her name all in lower case).Naturally,R.O.PS. There were 6 charter members to whom I have sent the password. Edited August 25, 2008 by Captain_Curmudgeon Remove inside joke which was for charter members only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
