Title: SPREAD Pro Football Pickem (Yahoo!)

http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/ (http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/)

Just try to find Pro Football Pickem from there since Yuku sucks dick and wouldn't accept the whole link for some reason.

The current format is spread, same as last year I think.

Please keep in mind that this league is for those who would like to pick the spread for each game.  Our traditional straight up Pigskin Pick'Em at ESPN will be coming online later this week.

When can we ditch ESPN altogether for fantasy sports related things? Having to login there is such a pain... their interface has been well below Yahoo's for years in all sports I've tried. Also, Yahoo is where everything else is... and everyone could make their spread and nonspread picks right in a row!

Also why are we so sticky happy in this forum for non-essential topics? Can't we save that distinction for truly important bulletins or discussions. I'm sure the VA Meet topics won't fall off the first page and everyone will find them OK!

Just my $0.02 x2 :-D

I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with Youse on this one. I'm all for tradition, but there's no reason to stay on ESPN given how outdated it is, and how we use Yahoo for everything else Elite Sports related.

Doesn't ESPN give better prizes for the winners?

Outdated? You click a radio button next to a team's name. How exactly could that date itself?

the prizes suck for both anyway. Who the hell in their right mind would want to go to the ESPY's?

I would've sooner expected people to argue the reverse. ESPN fantasy football offers live scoring for free.

Cube, I asked how ESPN's leagues were (I was talking about terms of interface and server speeds [their NCAA tourney is absolutely horrendous in that regard]) in the F.Football thread, but nobody answered me. I'd noticed they were doing free live this year, that's why I was curious. Still, we've already decided on Yahoo for this season at least. I might try out an ESPN public league for the free scoring, but the whole having to log into 2 different sites just for fantasy sports is a little excessive for my lazy ass.

I'm saying why not just put Fant. Football, Straight up Pick 'em, and Spread Pick'em all in one convenient place?  (Not to mention survival and salary cap if anyone is interested)

I'm up in this now!  However, I'm not getting any spreads when I go to pick.  Anybody know the deal?

Spreads don't go up until Monday/Tuesday/later in some cases.
