BIGGER, BETTER, AND MORE INTENSE THAN LAST YEAR: It's the Weinkopf.com 2003 Football Pool! ... It's Sunday, and your choice of football games on TV is Browns v. Bengals and Panthers v. Cardinals, what to do? Never fear! With the Weinkopf.com Football Pool, every game is exciting, as participants check their picks, eyeing the spread, mindful that a few points can make all the difference on the week's leaderboard. And on Tuesdays, they can visit Weinkopf.com to see the standings, catch up on the weekend's events, and find out who's been dubbed "The One To Watch." They can also visit the Yahoo! bulletin board and join in on the smack-talking fun! Last year's Weinkopf.com Football Pool was an intense struggle, complete with intrigue, bitter accusations, and cut-throat competition. (Oh yeah, it was also lots of good, clean fun.) Dave "Lakewood Lancers" Coher and Cris "Hoboken Headhunters" Gio see-sawed for first place all season long. Stacey "DawgBiscuit" Pressman and yours truly made a run for it at the end, but when all was said and done, Cris emerged triumphant. Can she repeat, just as surely as will the Mighty Mighty Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots? The answer to that question is a mere 18 weeks away. One thing is for certain: This year's pool promises to be even better than last -- more participants, more competition, more swift and severe punishment for losers. (Well, maybe not that last one.) Plus, this year we have the option of waiving one, two, or three of our worst scores, thus serving as insurance against that week when one or more of us may forget to get his or her picks in on time. (Once the group has formed, we'll put it to a vote.) So don't miss out! Sign up now -- and get your friends, enemies, loved ones, colleagues, and groupies to sign up, too! Just go to: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/pickem Then, click the the "Sign Up Now!" button and choose "Join a Private Group." When prompted, enter the following information: Group ID#: 17176 Password: weinkopf.com Don't miss this year's action. See you all in the pool! Yours, Chris, The Mighty Mighty Pats Fan Thursday, August 22, 2002
TESTING, 1-2-3 For long and complex reasons (Earthlink stinks), we've changed servers. If you can read this, then all is working. Woo-hoo! Wednesday, August 21, 2002
PHEW, I'M NOT A JESUIT ... According to this handy-dandy test, the religious order that would best suit me is the Franciscans.  what's your order? TECHNICAL DIFFICUTLIES . . . . . . are to blame for the recent lack of posts. We're in the process of trying to change servers, which is seemingly far more complicated than one would think. Unfortunately, you're still reading this on Earthlink, and not our new server, Webcountry, but in due time, I hope, that will be corrected. Until then, here are links to a few new columns: What Bush Should Say -- (FrontPage) The speech I'd like to see the president give. Leftist Leaders Betray Public on Secession -- (Daily News) Why the left will fight San Fernando Valley secession tooth and nail. A Message to the Saudis -- (FrontPage) a look at what the much-ballyhooed "Pentagon briefing" might have really been all about. |
