Survival football |

Basically all you do is pick one team each week that you think is going to win. If you're right you pick again next week (but you have to pick a different team), if you're wrong you're out. The great thing is that unlike fantasy football, if you decide to not give a shit you can just stop paying attention, you'll get eliminated, and it won't affect everyone else.

We aren't starting until week 2 because we need more people to join, so you have until next Saturday to sign up. |

This is pretty awesome. Fantasy sports need more manliness.
Now I can shit my pants even more on Sunday! |

| Once you pick a team, they're used up for good, right? |

| This game will really suck if the same N/2 teams constantly win (where N is the number of teams in the league). |

If you had gambled on the NFL last year, you would know how ridiculous that statement is.
Basically shit happens constantly all the time and outside of 5 or so really good teams and the 5 or so really bad teams everyone else is capable of explosion. Also, due to teams clinching playoff spots, great teams suddenly become dogshit because they rest all of their starters. There's a lot to factor in! |

| I thought about signing up, but I couldn't think of anything interesting. My plan to pick whatever team had a quarterback whose name I recognized would fail when I realized basically every team has a quarterback who gets frequent mention in mainstream media. And choosing another player and doing the opposite of him would last precisely one round. |

I don't see how this would be interesting without money on the table.
And I'm not saying five hundred bucks or anything, but come on!
There has to be SOME risk. Something to leave you feeling elated when your team wins, and suicidal when they don't.
It's about the emotional swings, and the powerlessness. |

I will grant you that money makes this better, but most nerds are hyper-competitive that want to win at everything.
Combine that with sports fanaticism and you've got your answer. |

I mean, I don't even wager on sports that much because my desire to win is enough to have my head explode.
Let's take last week, where the Phillies blew a 6 run lead in the 9th inning, despite every other team being 516-11 in that situation, effectively crushing their chances at making the playoffs. Afterwords, I wanted to set myself on fire and silently swore at my computer for 10 minutes.

Uh, you win by being the last one left.
You don't have to make it through the whole season!
Unless you're saying it's guaranteed two people will make it through the whole season, which seems unlikely. |
