I'm setting up a Pro Football Pick'em league just for the Texan Forum family. It will be interesting to see who really knows their football. It's time to see who are the cheerleaders, whiners or true football brians.

The league will be setup on Yahoo.

League Name will be - TexansMSGBoard

Who's in?

It's one of those Ferangi things from Star Trek "Next Generation" I never got into the whole "Next Generation" it was cheesy looking characters like that, which made me say "I'll pass".

By the way back on topic I'm in, send me an invite by e-mail so that I can register.

Jesus Petes it a Ferengi... it is a picture of a Ferengi. A Species that only cares about profit... their bible is "the rules of Acquisition" ...you know "Bud Adams" types? Such a strategy is useful in the acquistion of chips such as when playing profession poker. For "board gods" I'm surprised the concept is so obtuse... and yet my humble apology is offered. Did I mention I hate the cowboys?

Easy Vambo, put your phaser on stun. Why don't you just put a picture of yourself wearing over-sized Foster Grant sunglasses, we would spot you as a poker pro right off.

Oh all this is over you being envious of us? Sorry I didn't know that, but hey thanks for clearing that up. And do yourself a favor little buddy, don't let yourself get all ate up with envy. One day if you try really, really hard you too could be just like us "board gods" *shakes head in disbelief*

Great guys!

I know we share different beliefs and opinions but we're all family and support our Texans. The Pick'em league will remind us we're all friends. We love to prove our football knowledge and this will be a fun way to show it.

I suggest a TexanMsgBoard Trophy Avatar be created to mark our champion to use if he wishes. Should the avatar be the late Joel Bushbaum in a Texan's jersey? I can photoshop it.
