Get in now.  Seriously, if you've never played before, it's easy and fun and free.

...And don't forget to play it out for the whole season. The game doesn't end when you get your first loss.

Personally, I didn't care for the Gridiron Challenge format so I probably won't do it again.

I just noticed they changed the Gridiron Challenge format to adjust for the problems everyone complained about.  Now it's a floating salary cap, so if you pick a player that goes up in value you can drop him and keep the extra salary amount to transfer to the new guy.  This solves the bye week problem also.

They also have a second format you can opt for, like the eliminator challenge, where you can only use a player for one week, so if you used Peyton Manning in week #1, then you can't use him again the rest of the season.

^^ OH! that makes a world of difference!

I made all my Eliminator picks for the entire season.  I feel like I'm going to finish undefeated.

I wish I'd known this a week ago.  I specifically didn't join again this year, because I didn't like the rules from last time.

Same here.  Now, we're a week behind and there's no point.

Not too late, a couple good weeks and you could be in the mix.  Everyone seems to have a couple weeks were they do crappy.

Oh.  It looked like they had forgotten to make picks.  From what I read, that counts as a loss

^ Maybe they forgot to make picks.  But even if they did, they can still pick the MNF game right up until kickoff, if I'm not mistaken.

Off to a nice consistent start in the Gridiron Challenge game, 158 pts, 151 pts and 158 pts the first three weeks.
