First - An apology to the loyal readers who have been checking in to no new articles. The sweetactionpicks.com team will try to put up at least one weekly post.Second - A congratulations to Jesse Cyr from Buttfuck, Maine for winning the season-long NFL pick 'em challenge. Jesse recieved an engraved beer can trophy similar to the one below. The final standings were:
1. Jesse Cyr
2. The sweetactionpicks.com Oracle
3. Matt Butler
Third - To kick off the return to excitement let's start with a NCAA bracket contest!!! To sign up go to Yahoo! Sports and use the following login information:

Rules:
- All scoring will follow the progressive scoring format. This means that a correct pick in round 1 is worth 1 point; a correct pick in round 2 is worth 2 points; a correct pick in round 3 is worth 3 points; etc.
- The buy-in will be $20. We will operate on the honor system where the checks are mailed at the conclusion of the tournament. This makes things a lot easier for me.
- The payouts will be determined after the total number of participants are determinned. If there are ten (10) or less people then 2nd place will get there money back and 1st place will take the rest. If there are eleven (11) to twenty (20) entries then 3rd place will get their money back and 1st place will get 75% and 2nd place will get 25%. If there is greater than twenty (20) entries then a different payout structure will be established.
- Entry names may not be boring.
- People can fill out as many entries as they wish as long as they understand that each bracket will cost $20.
- Burkhardt loves the post office because people are always saying, "stick it in the mail".
All entries are due in before the games begin on Thursday. I'd suggest to get it in by Wednesday night to be safe.
I think Coach Williams can feel the tension.
