Why don't you run this on one of the HUNDREDS of sites that will run a pool for you for free - who has the time to go through all these picks to see who won, etc..

I have never seen a site that does this though, but I agree it would probably be easier on Boog if something would do it automatically.

Well hit me over the head with a wet noodle: Link.  Boog you should create a private group, up to 50 people can sign up.

I would, but then people would sign up, and not do anything...no picks, nothing. I really don't mind doing this. Course, if everyone else wants to....I suppose we can do it.

Week 3:

Arizona at Atlanta

Baltimore at Cincinnati

Chicago at Minnesota

Cleveland at N.Y. Giants

Houston at Kansas City

Jacksonville at Tennessee

New Orleans at St. Louis

Philadelphia at Detroit

Pittsburgh at Miami

San Diego at Denver

Green Bay at Indianapolis

San Francisco at Seattle

Tampa Bay at Oakland

Monday Night:

Dallas at Washington 38

I just set up a league for the hell of it. If you are the comissioner of the league you can boot people. So if they are not participating you can boot them. But the nice thing about it Boog, you can set an email option that emails everyone a day before the deadline to pick their picks for the week. Also it has an option for the deadline, you can set it 5 mins before the first game of the week, a day before the game of the week, 5 mins before each game, etc etc to make your picks. I think it is a good idea, plus it would be a ton of less work for you to go through all the threads and checking the scores, which could be error prone. It just seems like a very nice system.;);) Only problem is that we lose the last two weeks of our scores, but in the end they could be added to the Yahoo scores.

Can you as commish create picks for weeks one and two? If so, I will make it, and set it up.

It does not look like you can, but you could always add the scores in the end from the first two weeks. Here I will send you a PM with my league and you can see what it looks like.

..ok, moved to yahoo and picks set, automation sucks for this though, I liked looking over picks in the thread.

Well looking over other peoples picks does not quite make it fair now does it? ;)

Cheaters never prosper!!! I like the picks being mysterious. It will make it harder for those who were basing their picks on others. Anyway I think after the games are over or after the deadline is reached to enter picks, everyone's will be revealed.

No problem at all. :) Feel free to always check back...I'll still do this week's totals, if we don't like the Yahoo format. I will assume if you don't enter the format there and you do here, ( like [sanctified]) then I assume you prefer this.

I'm talking about after, if you notice normally my picks are in before a lot of people post. I don't compare picks and choose from that, if I did.. I wouldn't have been 6-10 in week 2! :p

I just feel a little bad for Boog that he is going to have to go through (33+ Neowinians) * (256 games) = 8,448 picks and that is not counting playoffs. Why should a error prone human do work when we have computers! :D Oh well, it is up to Boog in the end anyway. I just think the yahoo setup is pretty cool looking, much like the fantasy football Neowin league. Plus it doesn't hurt trying it because you can check your wins on Yahoo and then compare it to Boog because he might fall asleep at the wheel figuring out everyone's picks because if that was me I sure would. :p

@+-=SD=-: We were just hastling you a bit, its okay! :laugh:

    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
