  • 9TH ANNUAL IGGLEPHANS LIBERAL MEDIA SUICIDE POOL

    The Igglephans Suicide Pool is back for another year, for some reason. Sorry I didn't get this posted sooner...Al Sharpton (or "Sharpie," as I like to call him) has been swept up with Ferguson brouhaha and just now FINALLY approved the verbiage.

    As always, here are the rules, largely copied/pasted from last year:

    - Each week, you pick a single NFL team that you think will win its game. How hard is that?

    - You can only pick each team once throughout the season.

    - If your team wins, you continue on and make another pick the next week. If your team does not win, you're out of the pool and you probably go into a pretty serious depression. Substance abuse problems. Alienation from family and friends. Next thing you know, you're there in front of an Obamacare Death Panel. So choose your teams wisely, gang.

    - Email your picks to igglephans.pool@gmail.com by Saturday night (or earlier if you pick a Saturday or Thursday game). Basically, your pick needs to be in before your team's game starts, and earlier is better.

    - ALWAYS include your screen name along with your pick.

    - If a pick is in late, it's entirely at my discretion whether or not to accept it. Basically, if it's in the mailbox before the game in question begins, I'll count it, but try to get them in ASAP so I have time to enter them ahead of time and so everyone else can see your stupid pick.

    - Picks and results will be posted at the same URL as always: http://tinyurl.com/igglephans-sp

    - If you don't see your pick posted in a timely manner, don't worry. Some days I'll get them turned around in minutes, but other times it may be hours or even days. If you send me your pick and you notice me posting other people's picks and yours still isn't up, give me a shout.

    - WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE, BARRY???.

    - If anyone strongly prefers using the board's email function to send in your picks rather than emailing picks to igglephans.pool@gmail.com directly, please do so by sending a board email (not "private message") to the member "Suicide Pool" (not rjohns02).

    - What does the winner get for his/her hard work and dumb luck? Probably just bragging rights. Maybe the admins can put some sort of "flair" on his or her account, I don't know how this internet thing works. I do, however, reserve the right to send a super crappy prize to the winner. The 2006 and 2007 winners did not receive their crappy prizes until August 2008, and the 2008-2010 winners got nothing until August 2011, and the 2011-2013 winners still have nothing, so if by some wacky stroke of luck you should actually win, you might not want to hold your breath.

    - Good luck, jagoffs.

          I sent a Board e-mail twice...

          Just to be safe... and with the first week of the pool, DQ selects: Eagles!

            Never got anything from you outside this post, DQ, but your benevolent suicide pool manager has decided to accept this entry.

            Which handle did you send the board email to?

              Thanks.

              I forgot to send in my picks this week anyway. I'll get with the e-mailing program next year (besides, I refuse to take a team against the Eagles tonight). I used the board e-mail for "Suicide Pool".
