2018 FReeper Pick'em Football League 15959
Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Pick'em League ^ | 08/15/2018 | Texas Booster

Posted on 08/15/2018 4:50:11 PM PDT by texas booster

I started the 2018 Pick’em fantasy football team.

FREEPER 2017 NO RHINOS Group 15959

Been going on for about a dozen years. The Pick’em league is simple - just tell us each week who will win, and assign a point value to the win.

FReepmail me if you want to join, and I'll send you the password.

TOPICS: Sports
KEYWORDS: fanyastfootball; nfl; pickem
We usually have about 20 FReepers that join to trade insults and mock those that believe that Giselle's boy toy may be a better QB than Unitas, Tarkenton or even Romo (RIFP).

There is no cost and this is a low pressure league. Blow a week completely? It gets dropped.

We do ask that everyone make a donation to Free Republic during the season.

Ping out to those that have made a comment on various football threads.

Since this league is a Pick the Winner Each Week league, there is not a whole lot of study.

That said, I only remember a couple of perfect weeks over the last dozen years. It is harder than it looks.

To repeat, this is a fun, light hearted league, and we especially value those who can pun a quip, or quip a funny pun.

If you have a sense of humor please come on over and join us.

No problem.

The NFL has caused its own problems by being such a symbol of progressiveness since Gooddell took over.

I've wrestled with this for too long. I am appalled and disgusted by the ingrate millionaires who kneel on television for our National Anthem and pretend to be "oppressed."

They are a shameful and racist a bunch of psychos, and should be roundly excoriated.

Football, on the other hand, is an American Tradition. After our Military, football has done more to shape well-rounded young men than any other societal influence. I am living witness to football's guiding and nurturing potential. From the camaraderie and sense of belonging, to its instructions on personal strength, will and determination, from its never-quit ethos to its 'play by the rules' ethics, football is a great teacher.

All sports share a measure of this, but none push you like football does. Double sessions in pads under a 98° boiling August sun will test, and case-harden, your mettle like nothing else.

So as much as it would be wrong to encourage the kneeling nitwits, it might be far worse to let their inanity cause us to turn our backs on an American Tradition which does so much good for so many.

IMHO.

Fair enough

I’ve even quit watching college ball

To get my football fix (because I love the game) I go to the local high school and support their team. It’s a good time. Food ain’t bad. And priced reasonably
