    anybody running one of these this year? they have been great in the past and i love the extra sweat of the Pizza Pizza bowl games and all the other truly meaningless games that i would normally have no interest in.

    if nobody is running one, i would gladly set one up on yahoo or espn (however the ones run in the past with spreadsheets were awesome).

    i like the spread, and confidence points model. anybody else down?

    I did the spread confidence one last year and have the spreadsheet all setup for it, but I think there were only like 4-6 of us (just me and you for the $100 one I believe), so I could run one again if there is a little demand, but at least a few more people would be nice.

    Can't remember if BGX was still running the one on ESPN last year or if somebody else set it up, but I haven't noticed anything about that for this year either. Not really a ton of difference since usually the dogs that cover win outright anyways, so probably don't need 2 separate pools.

    Anyways, I can set something up if needed, but probably not going to put too much effort into it.

    also sucks that the games start saturday. even so we could do one here and use the spreadsheet and just not include the couple of games that occur this coming weekend. but im not so sure how much interest there would actually be. even if we did multiple buy in levels.

    id be willing to set up a a $20 an entry league and run it. how many people would be interested in that? how many people would want to run it on yahoo and keep this saturdays game? how many would want to just leave out this saturdays games and send pm's with their picks and confidence points? if we can get 10-15 people interested id be willing to run this
