It's that time of year again. Are you ready for some football? Our CBS Sports Office Pool, Hognostications, is back for the 2017 season. Pool manager DarthMonk welcomes you back and is looking forward to another great season!

I made the deadline for picks be 5 minutes BEFORE EACH GAME.

If you forget to make your picks you won't get a zero. You will get the worst score that week minus 1.

I'm in... Fair warning... I am managing a HUGE electronic health record conversion for a 3 hospital health system... first one goes up in November... I could fall off the face of the earth come November.

[SkinsJock]

I'm in - thanks DM ... I'm not buying it CT

Guess it worked... seems kind of stuck there, now...

to 1niksder, the ONLY one to pick KC.

Hunt beasted for 2 of my fantasy teams though.

[DarthMonk]

Gave one away.

IND over RAM was an accident. Can't cheat, though.

Also ONLY JAG over TEX.

[SkinsJock]

we've all heard how critical it is to have a good QB and that a good QB on a good team will find a way to win the game ...

just not in games like last night in Denver ... Trevor Siemian rocks

IF Cousins keeps playing like he did, it'll be interesting to see how long we go before Snyder gets Gruden to play McCoy

Proposal: If Burgundy&Gold, Irn Bru, and SkinsJock don't make any picks for the first 4 weeks, they get removed. That's enough time, PLUS it would have the benefit of leaving 12 players, which is perfect for the playoffs.

I'm already playing as Jock O - so you can take SkinsJock off the roster - THANKS

[ACW]

Shame Darth Monk, shame

EDIT: Well, no changing it now

[REDEEMEDSKIN]

Two weeks in a row as the league leader! I'll take that! Top 5 after 4 weeks! Not bad. Not bad.

[Countertrey]

Sorry, gents... way too much going on here... can't take even the minimal time to play reliably...

[ACW]

Can we remove the non-players?

5-9 last week

[Burgundy&GoldForever]

I was without power for the first two weeks of the NFL season thanks to those hurricanes so I was unable to make this a priority. If you need to remove me I understand. It's not much fun starting with a competitive disadvantage in any case.

[SkinsJock]

IF anyone picked all the road teams this week (and the Redskins, of course) they would have 9 wins

crazy past few weeks

[Countertrey]

Sorry guys... just can't do it...

5-9 last week

I'll likely do that around Thanksgiving.

DarthMonk, are you able to change picks. riggofan is a Hognostitraitor.

I remember someone picked against us when we beat the Rams; in that case, they should have to live with the loss, but they shouldn't be rewarded when we lose.

[SkinsJock]

picks should not be changed - if someone wants to show us the character they really are, they deserve to reap what they sow

riggofan is a traitor and he deserves to be treated as such

[DarthMonk]

I'm gonna give him a chance to let me change it. I'm thinking it was an accident.

Just went and looked and IT WAS ME! Clearly not a traitor so I want to change that too.

If he wants to keep the pick I'll let him but if he wants me to change it, I will.

Emailing now.

[DarthMonk]

Copy of email I sent to riggofan:

Yo, riggofan:

Looks like you picked Dallas.

You may keep that pick if you want but then you will be forever branded as a HognosiTRAITOR.

If you like, I can change it to Washington. I was thinking it was probably an accident.

[SkinsJock]

OK - I don't believe it was an accident, but ....

[DarthMonk]

He wrote back and begged me to change it.

I will.
