And you Charles for paying for all of the membership fees for the membership prizes. This is the second year that Charles has carried that expense on his own. :)

Omg I just creamed my pants!

Thank you ThePhins for providing this!

Thanks so much for all the work you do setting this up. The people who maintain and operate this site are the very best!!!!

Aww just noticed its all ESPN :(

Too bad I have to be 21 to play. I'll just register a new account

I've talked it over with my future self, and I told myself the results of every game this year. This means that I will in fact win this contest and probably make a few billion in Vegas as well. Go ahead and send me the Pro Bowl tickets. Don't bother sending the parking pass, I should have my own private jet by then.

Thanks for the contests....The Eliminator contest sounds like what most call a Suicide Football pool....you have to pick a different team to win each week....the furthest I have gone is to Week 11.

Yep, that's what it is. And the furthest I've ever made it was week 8. :(

Good luck to all. :D

Sorry, I didn't know that when I created the games. I will choose a different site next year.

You might create a account just to use for thephins.com contests fudging your birthday by a few years. You would not be eligible for any of ESPN's prizes but you could still win our prizes.

I have an account already on there. I'm not even 1 year away for being 21.

Nah its fine I'm going to do the other contests its just the stupid pick'em I'm screwed with.

Wow, this is like giving away memberships for free, lol. Thanks.

I see for the eliminator you can make all 17 weeks worth of picks at once. Do you have to do this, or can you go week by week?

You can do it week by week. :) Who knows how well teams will be playing by the end of the year and if they are even playing for anything.

This is odd, I went and found thephins.com, when I click to go to the password page, it says that I ca not join this group. Any idea why not?

never mind. I had to go thru the back door to get in, but I'm there.

joined the Pigskin Pick'Em and the Eliminator

Thanks!

For the gridiron challenge, do you have to set your team every week?
