The Commish has spoken, as Batman followed through on his idea of adding a Pigskin Pick'em Group using the point spread (password "bn2") in addition to the straight Pick'em Group (password "bn") which simply requires picking the winning team in each NFL matchup. Sorry for pimping this three days in a row (I'm counting tomorrow in advance), but the spread league was started so late I want to make sure all who want to participate hear about it before the season gets underway tomorrow night. Though maybe I should just keep this quiet, since if it continues on with just a trio of participants, I'm guaranteed at least a third-place finish.
