Hi Bill Milton Linda (2010.11.06)
I checked with all of you and it seems ok for us to use just one pool.
When you go to make your picks on line , select
NFL #100
2011 is below
2010 is below
Before long the others (NFL #3, NFL#2, NFL #5,NFL#7) will go away.
For the Blog, we will use
http://nfl-100.blogspot.com/
Making these changes will save me time. I appreciate your being agreeable.
If you have others you might like to have join us, let me know. I imagine it would be better to wait for another year but we could fix something so they could practice now.
Let me know if this is too confusing and you have questions..
In Summary, the main Change for you is (1)using NFL#100 for your picks (they still go into the others also when you make the picks) and (2) you will now use the Blog at http://nfl-100.blogspot.com/ for my updates..

Hi Guys (2010.08.25)
From the ADMINISTRATOR (ha!)
I want this to be fun for you and little effort. I find it helps me enjoy the NFL session more with the condition of the Pathetic Panthers, as I am more interested in all the games and trying to pick the winners. It is fun and is good thing I am not interested in betting, but my Dad never even let me play Marbles for keeps so I guess that is ingrained in me.
So if any of this is a pain, don't do it or worry about it. Do let me have suggestions or questions.
As you know I am working on a Blog for each of the pools to go along with our NFL Pool Program.
I wanted to fix it so the players could see other players' entries before the games all are over and I try to update regularly. I put on the Blogs a summary of the picks as soon after you make the picks and I put the results of the games on the Blogs often before the Monday night game is played. I am adding other links to make it easier for all of us to keep up with different things. By now I have added a number of links and info on the Blogs that you probably are not aware of yet. Go to the you Blog and play around. Then ask me questions if you have any.
I am working on getting an easy way to show the year to date and I am not there yet. Each day you probably will find something new as I am using this as a means to learn Blogging better. I also have made the "line" a player so we see how we all do against the line
Any time you are lost on your Blog, go to "Home" and click it near the upper right. To the right of HOME are several other links you might want to play with. Remember when lost, click on HOME.
Since I do not know when you make your picks unless I check often, it will make it easier on me if you will email me a brief note such as "made picks.". That is not a requirement, it just means if I do not hear from you I might not get you listed as fast.
I have made my picks for the whole year and each week I go back and fine tune. I find that helps me when I am busy or if I forget. I would suggest if you go ahead and enter early before the week, you not put in the tie breaker points (why is technical, just take may word for it).
Here are the various logs. I decided to let everyone know about the others. If that is an issue for anyone let me know.
NFL2010-3 linda don milton line
NFL2010-5 bill don line
NFL2010-7 bill linda don milton line (just for info, as the main contests are the two above)
Ok let me summarize:
- The Blogs are something to help you and me enjoy the process more with more and earlier info.
- Also it is to let don practice Blogging
- The Blogs are not a requirement for you to use; all you need do is make your picks each week before game starts.
- If you want your info in the Blog earlier, let don know when you make the picks
- If you pick some weeks ahead, remember not to put in the tie breaker points until the current pick week
- After you make your picks, you can change any up until the time I lock the Picker or until the game starts. I usually never lock them until after all games, I just depend on the program to lock when games start which gives you more time to get your picks changed/recorded.
- There are a number of links at top of the page as outlined in #8.1 below but they probably will change often . .
- Do play with the following links at the top of the page.
- Home Recap Reports Latest Results Latest Spreads Make Picks Links Year to Date Instructions (not there yet. This email will be there soon)
