    Well, the NFL season is 1 month away so it is time to rev up the annual ClutchFans NFL Survivor game. I start this 1 month early to give everybody ample time to know about the game, join, and gauge their Week 1 picks. As many of you know, there are usually many casualties the first week. We our biggest group last year (112 total) and we only want the competition to grow!

    2010's Results: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ak5IWINy344tdFRqRUxUSHJZNm54MzFsd3cwTXBMZUE&authkey=CMHVtv4L&hl=en_US#gid=1

    Last year's champion: CoolGuy (I made a $25 donation to the tip jar in his name but it didn't get him "Contributing Member" status. Not sure why that did not work but I'll pledge the same donation this go around and maybe another prize along the way as well.....keep up. ;) )

    THERE WILL BE NO LATE ENTRIES!!!!!

    I didn't do a pay league, maybe somebody else did though.

    BTW, I'll start my Hangout reminder thread soon. That usually boosts participation in this one. :)

    So every week you pick a different team that you think will win? If that's the case, I'll take New England.

    That is correct. You can never pick the same team twice.

    You guys are crazy picking your games before the preseason even starts. I'm going to at least wait until after the 3rd preseason game when I'm sure there aren't any signficant injuries.

    It isn't set in stone. You can change it up until the deadline for the week.

    Yes, thanks to those who noted above and I have placed it in the rules. You can change your pick any time up until the Sunday deadline just do it in a new post.

    Thank you. I plan to have the spreadsheet up shortly.

    Don't bother donating on behalf of the winner once again Pun, just a waste of money. I even emailed Clutch about it with no response. I still never understood why people "donate" money to this website when the guy already makes plenty of money with advertising because of our activity.
