I'm not sure if cali runs one (do you cali?) If he doesn't, I want to start one on this site. But I want to see what the interest is. Frankly, it's the most entertaining type of football game to me, even though it can last only a week or two for some.
For those who don't know what a survivor pool is, basically everyone gets to pick one team a win to win their game that week. Once the team is picked, they can't pick that team for the remaining weeks (which last year would have prevented someone from picking the Colts almost 15 weeks in a row). It's one of those things that tends to start off slow (ulness you have a brass set of balls), but gets super interesting when you are down to the Raiders/Lions/etc. in games against opponents of their caliber and the Bengals/Cowboys/etc. in competitive games.
I'm pretty sure cali does do the pick 'em, which I also like. As an aside, I don't care for fantasy football anymore. The couple times I played it, it actually took enjoyment away from the games to me.
So if there's interest (in my pathetic world about 5 or so will qualify as "interest"
), and if cali doesn't run one already, I'll set one up for this site.
Ok, I setup a league:
Name: Surviving Jazzfanz
Group ID: 2611
PW: derontoal
https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival
I made the number of strikes, if you will, 1...the traditional standard which I'm fine with. However, I'll take suggestions on whether to up it to 2 or 3. With a small group that may be more preferable. I have until kickoff to do so.
Eh, I just realized I'm calling it a poll instead of a pool in the title. That bugs me on some dumb level
