Question......
I'm going to go through some hardcore with drawls at the end of baseball season,from my Crack habit of Streak games all summer....Is there something like "Beat the streak for Football"...So I can come down somewhat gradually?

ESPN has the following football games for the 2011 season:

College Challenge - Assemble weekly roster of college players from all NCAA or specific conference, no budget
College Pick'em - Pick 15 college matchups each week, confidence or straight versions
College Showdown - Prop bets with weighted values

Gridiron Challenge - Assemble weekly roster of NFL players within budget
Pigskin Pick'em - Pick the NFL matchups each week, spread or straight versions
Eliminator - The classic Survivor game...pick one winner each week, can't use the same team twice

Well the college stuff is out, the closest thing to following college football is following where Dorial Greene-Beckham decides to play,then following him (I pray he doesn't go to Nick Saban and Alabama)...I still want to see him play this year,since he plays here in town,he's right down the road....The problem has been last weeks game was on ESPNU and in Joplin, his next game is at the University of Arkansas...Sorry started to ramble on there.... Cheesy

Grid iron challenge,is that like the playoff challenge thing we've played before on NFL.com? That sounds kind of fun...

^^^ Yeah, the one where you build a roster with individual players each week. It's definitely one of my favorite ESPN microgames (Baseball Challenge is #1).

Here is a link to the game...

You're more than welcome to hop into the ESPN TOP 50 group as well. password is same as it was for the streak.

^^^ Sure we can...but do you really think we'll have more than 3-4 TDMMC'ers that will follow through on the game all season?

Looks down sheepishly,shakes my head side to side... murmurs quietly under my breath "no...." Embarrassed

I like to be able watch how the people here,the people I know,are doing quickly....I'll sign up a little later today for the gridiron challenge...

I didn't create a group for TDMMC,I don't have the link to the nifty TDMMC banner we use for streak for the cash,and I couldn't think of a motto....

The MLB beat the streak is winding down...Brian seems to have the best streak going,and probably the best chance of catching AZ with  only a couple of weeks left in the regular season (I'm assuming it's not going into the playoffs)

Streak for the cash,has been a little bit of a bitch for everyone this month...No red stars in our TDMMC group....I've gotten to 4 (twice now),but had no conviction in the pick for 5....come on D-backs....

Good luck to AZ,in going for the star....

Yeah I had another 9 gamer in BTS but lost that over the weekend. In ESPN SFC I had a nice 8 game.....losing streak I was happy to break finally on Sunday. I am hoping for the Red Star tonight and I am pulling for the Angles to get the victory with Weaver on the mound.

You and I are both going for our red stars tonight, B...but only one of us can get it. I went with Kershaw and the Dodgers against the snakes. My healthy man-love for Mr. Kershaw is still going strong. ;-)
