I'll make my picks now if I could.
What's with 4 people not even betting. Do you really think that 80 or so entrants will lose all hteir money before you even make a wager?

I'm sure that those people ARE doing just that. They believe it's impossible for people to maintain a positive balance over the course of a full regular season. 17 weeks is tough to keep that money flowing! But I think holding on to $1000 may be tough if a few guys get lucky and hit big a few times and wind up near the 10,000 mark....

Guys, just a reminder...I stressed at the beginning of this contest that I can't change any bets once they are in. It was brought to my attention that I do have the power to do that...But I've said in the rules that I can not change any games, and I'll have to stick with it.
My main reason was, I didn't want to have to delete picks from 90+ people on a Sunday morning if something drastic happens after bets were made, like a hurricane, major snow storm, etc...
I've already told 2 people that I can't change their bets, so it wouldn't be fair to change anyone else's for any reason. It would most likely be written in RED on the section that says "picks made"...It would probably say "pick deleted"...But we're not going to do that. Not this year, or next. I don't mind doing the leg work getting the pool together, but I'll have to leave this rule as is...
I know Carson Palmer not starting this weekend came TOTALLY out of the blue, but try and place your wagers as close to gametime as possible.
Good luck guys...
P.S...Is that ME in 2nd place? i have no idea of the circumstances involved that brought on this message, but we definitely don't want Marc or anyone else to be responsible for changing the bets. if the web-site is set up to let you do it, that's fine, but it would be a clusterf..k if one person was responsible to make the changes requested. BTW, i heard from FOX's jay glaser at about 11:50 am CT that palmer was NOT going to play sunday. i immediatly wagered shares in the opposite direction and took those shares off the board.
