Make your weekly NFL picks, against-the-spread and/or straight-up.

http://games.espn.go.com/pigskin/frontpage

Picks lock at the first game on Sunday.
Games before Sunday lock at game time.

First game: Thursday, Sep 8

Note: Apparently we can create up to 3 entries per person this year. I have created TWO groups, one for against-the-spread, and one for straight-up. Join either or both.

Against-the-Spread

group: Gangster BB
passw: Corleone

Straight Up

group: Gangster BB 2
passw: Corleone

Please do not have more than one entry in each group, or move entries around after we've started. I don't know why they allow 3 entries this year - sounds stupid - so please do not cheat by swapping a better (3rd) team into our group after we've begun playing.

I kept the groups unlocked so people can join after the first week if they wanted to - NOT so people can swap in better teams.

Note: Donovan McNabb's mom, Mrs. McNabb, is playing game-wide. Think we can crush her? \:D

If anyone tries to switch teams, we'll know it soon enough anyway since we post the standings every week.

Well. I tried getting in and picking my teams, after I logged in at the top, where it says to log in. But, it always brings me back to the same page it started out with like I'm not logged in, so I have no idea what to do.

Try clearing your browser cache (temporary internet files) and log in again... that fixed it for me when that happened a couple weeks ago...

Are you using Mozilla or Netscape? I have the same problem. Sometimes it works, most times it won't, so I just us IE for the ESPN games. I've tried clearing cache, etc, but the problem always returns.

Funny, I only use Firefox for the ESPN games -- mostly since it had a built-in pop-up blocker before IE did. And more importantly, it has tabbed browsing so I can have 10 sites open at once in the same window.

I only use IE for the BB cuz Firefox sucks at forms for some reason. (Umm, word-wrap anyone? Hello??)

I'm using the latest build of Mozilla (1.7.11) which is similar to Firefox 1.06. The only site I have a problem is ESPN. It's like it doesn't recognize the log-in, and returns to the log-in page.

Well, I'm using Firefox 1.0.6, and had that problem once - a couple weeks ago - and they told me to try clearing my cache, and that worked. Don't know what else to say; besides, I'm 10000000% happier having tabbed browsing than having freakin' nightmare IE... :p

I hate IE. The only thing I use it for is the ESPN games, and the rare site that doesn't work with Mozilla. ...I just tried clearing the cache. No good. I even tried logging onto ESPN via their main page, and it doesn't work. It just doesn't recognize my password.

Okay, now where should I go once I get into the Insider Index page? Because this is where it kept getting screwed up last time, and I have no clue what to do.

Are you here, Danny?

http://games.espn.go.com/pigskin/frontpage

If so, you need to register for an ESPN member name and password.

If you already have one, you should be able to log-in in the upper right hand corner.

If you don't see the log-in form, try clicking on one of the tabs (like "leaderboard" or "message board"), and that should do it.

I joined, but I haven't picked my teams yet. My name on the list of who is in the game shows up as D Foc instead of DanielMontana.

At least I'm winning something around here.

The competition has been getting much stiffer lately.
