Stop your bloodclot cryin'!

ESPN has a pick'em game for the Vancouver Winter Olympics, and I've started a group for TDMMC to compete in. The Olympics last 16 days, and each day, there will be a new set of prop bet questions (which country will have a better finish in the 440 dash, Germany or Bolivia, that type of question). You make your picks, sit back and cheer for the athletes/teams you have picked. Grin

Group: TDMMC Olympic Pick'em
Pass:   TDMMC

Game on...and GO USA!!

OK...we have zero participants so far other than me. I thought everyone here was into the Olympics? I'm sure I saw a thread about that recently. Wink

OK, I'll bite...

Your quest to just haphazardly sign up for every single ESPN fantasy game is getting a bit overwhelming...

I'm in, as well.  I like these things, and unlike fantasy football, it only last a couple of days -- not an entire season of daily effort.

Sunstroke as you seem to be the guru of ESPN fantasy sports...make sure you let me know when they post the one for the national rock paper scissors championship.   I want in on that one.

^^^ That would be The ESPN Rochambeau Challenge, which fires up every year in April.




(just kidding...there is no fantasy rock-paper-scissors)

Don't forget...the Olympics Pick'em kicks off on Friday, so make sure you get your day one picks in before then!

There's really only 4 people signed up?  Disappointing.  Dave, I don't see you on the list...

I signed up and made my day 1 picks already.  I'll double check that I'm in the group.

EDIT: I was signed up, but I haven't joined the group.  I'm in now.

Some of our games will only get 5-6 participants...no worries at all.  

I'd love to see 15-20 for every game, but that's just me projecting my own fantasy sports attitude on to others, rather than any realistic expectation.

On a side note... I am skipping one standard ESPN game for a TDMMC group, just because I can't imagine more than 1-2 people would have any interest at all in the Fantasy Fishing Challenge.

Wink

If anyone DOES want to play the ol' Fantasy Fishing, just let me know and I'll slide you into the ESPN TOP 50 group for this game.
