BassnBrew is right. Che is wrong.It is a contest of skill, so there does not need to be a "no purchase" means of entry. The law goes like this- gambling (normally illegal) has three elements:1)Chance2)consideration- what you pay or buy to enter3)prizeIf all three of those elements are present, its gambling, and normally illegal and/or highly regulated by the authorities.Remove one element, however, and its not gambling- and usually legal. The contests, with the means for free entry, accomplish this by allowing you to send in a free entry by postcard, etc., instead of paying for a coke (element 2).This contest does it by removing element 1). This is a contest of skill not chance. (Similar to dart popping balloon games at carnivals. Sure, there is some luck (e.g. what prize is in the balloon), but skill affects the results of the game.)That being said, please make my $15k check out to "T. Piper." Thanks.

 
I had a hard time spending all the $250.00 .... but I managed ;) QB - 36RB - 120WR - 71TE - 11K - 5D - 7I figure I'll be among the week 1 cut list.... :cry: unless we don't have 12,000 participants

 
Once the entries are locked, is anyone opposed to posting your picks?
Last year they provided links to everyone's team after week 1. (And what better way to bring the server to it's knees than to put all those links on one page!)
 
I am finally finished my entry (after 5 revisions).QB 40RB 84WR 93TE 8PK 12DEF 11No watch me get booted after week 1.

 
My first try and I'm only $159 over the cap. :wall:I guess the Holmes + Moss combo that worked ok last year is out. Oh well.

 
I hope no one gets injured between now and between the contest deadline. I spent way too much time tweaking my line-up. QB - 31RB - 109WR - 76TE - 12PK - 9D - 11I have $2 left over. Please give it to Che.

 
I made up a spreadsheet with multiple lineups, it calculates the total. Man I think I have about 15-20 different teams configured in there.Final result(for now ;) )QB - 24RB - 122WR - 80TE - 12PK - 6D - 6

 
What's with the girls not posting their teams?

I didnt think it was possible to actually own Priest and Manning. I'm going with the strategy "Mediocre by Committee" :excited:

My team is better, Get Some!! :excited:
 
FBG is a privately owned organization and they don't need to offer anything free to anyone
So, if I wanted to, I could legally collect money from customers, keep a cut for myself, and pay out the rest to some of the customers based on the results of NFL games? Hmmmmm? Sounds like a bookie to me.

I was at 25$ at QB, I just changed it tonight. I might even change back LOL
Right now, I'm at 21 at QB, and I don't see myself changing it... well, maybe not.QB -21RB - 132WR - 72TE - 10K - 4D - 11
 
Stop being a bunch of chicks and list your team. Nobody here is going to steal your ####. :tinfoilhat:

Here goes:QB FavreQB PenningtonQB FiedlerRB TaylorRB WestbrookRB SuggsRB GriffinRB Moe WilliamsWR BurressWR RogersWR FitzgeraldWR StallworthWR TerrellWR A.

so many teams are going to have suggs, griffin and m. williams. It's hard to pass up that value at RB.At WR I think Rogers will be the receiver used most.

I don't have Suggs, nor Griffin, nor Moe.Can't say the same for CRogers.

90% of our team is the same.

I'll be going with the strategy "have two studs score you a ####load of points" :excited:
And what if one of those two studs should get injured? :popcorn:
then I'll lose. What happens when your mediocre players don't pan out?for the record, Manning is about as safe as they come. Dude hasn't missed a start yet. And with his production, and rather cheap price, I can't believe every person here doesn't have him.granted, Priest is a bit riskier, and I am considering shuffling LT2 in for him. But I've had a soft spot for Priest since he's earned me $$$$ the past few years. :wub:
 
So, what is the upside on discussing your team here? Unless you want to misdirect people, it is to your benefit to have no one else have anywhere close to the team you have. Do you want to win the 15 G's or what? Once the cutoff date for changes to your team occurs, everyone is free to talk about how smart they are for picking whichever players.

 
Culpepper -39Eli - 2Rivers -2Priest-99Scobey-2Hollings-2Fargas-2Betts-2Randy Moss-72Hall-2Terrell-2Parker-2Finneran-2Conway-2Reed-2Manumaleuna-2Schobel-2 Rackers-2 Scobee-2 Houston-2 San Diego-2I'm not brave enough to have this as my team. It would almost have no chance to make it through week 1.
