    One of my former newspapers had a writer's dog as one of the pickers for HS, college and pro football. I can't recall for sure, but I sure hope the dog never picked the Falcons to win -- EVER.

    If that's the way he picks this year, I'm guessing he'll be right about 10-12 times with Joey Harrington as the starter...

    When he's done with his picks, does he help some of the older staffers hunt and peck on their keyboards?

    Couldn't agree more. Can't stand football beat writers who make straight-up picks. Mrs. Playthrough can pick the Colts over the Raiders, but I gotta know if they're going to cover -14. For entertainment purposes of course.

    Yeah, but it won't be you that does it, because you're chicken.

    Piss off the AARP at your own peril, smart guy.

    this sounds like fun for the people involved, but why would anyone want to read it? maybe you guys could do it, and keep track of the standings and stuff but just not run it in the paper.

    or maybe limit it to like three or four people and leave a spot for the reader to make his/her own picks and compete against so-called experts. otherwise, why would someone care?
