Pixote Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I started a league for us at NFL.com. I have not entered my selections yet but will soon. Let's see who among us is the "Draft Guru" or "Draft Prognosticator" LOL NFL.com has a great interface to use free and you can set up private leagues, which I did. The link is : Predict the Pick League Name : TalkBears The Password is : Url54acher Free to join, just need to register with NFL.com if you are not already registered. Hope you guys sign up, this is a slick system they have, real nice interface, and it will be a fun competition among members of the forum for bragging rights, no prizes, just for fun. ( The NFL.com does offer prizes. If you join you may win a trip to New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII if you have the top entry! ) Let me know if anyone has problems logging in.

bradjock Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I can't believe it, typed in the password wrong, corrected it in the original post. Awesome!!! I'm in! I watch damn near every minute of the draft so making predictions is a nice extra . . . even though I'm never close. Last year I got off to a blazing start predicting Carolina would pick Cam Newton. Unfortunately I missed on my next 31 picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towards the end of the first round someone usually picks a player I have never heard of from some small Division II school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'm in as Cutler2Marshall46 Just FYI to those joining, type the League password over the greyed out password field, then hit + League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! I enjoy this so much, I'm going to add more teams under the names of former "talkbears" guys. I'll going to start with Nick Foligno.

Pixote Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Great to have you join the league, I will bet that one or more of us will be far more accurate than the "so called" experts. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Thanks for setting it up Pix. I'm in... And I will do horribly! I started a league for us at NFL.com.

adam Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Thanks for setting it up Pix. I'm in... And I will do horribly! Mad, I would be happy with about 5 correct picks. There is always one screwball pick that throws off the entire round (or an early trade). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 The dice have been rolled and I'm sure they won't come up with a 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 The dice have been rolled and I'm sure they won't come up with a 7. Fantastic, did you signup to the league I created? I do not see your team listed? I hope we can get a dozen or more forum members to take part in this, we have done this type of event in the past with great success with various members tallying the results by hand, just thought it would be cool to use this interface and get a shot at a trip to the SB.

adam Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 6 more days until the draft. I just made my first changes dropping Adams out of the first round and adding Gilmore in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I will probably finish mine up this weekend, sure hope some more guys join us. In the past we have had a good turn out for this type of draft prediction contest. I was hoping for a dozen or more just to make it a bit more fun.

Yeah, I wish there was a way to bold the title in the sticky. Maybe post on Soxtalk to get some members over there to sign up? I know a bunch have accounts but don't post here anymore.
