I started this pool in 2008 after getting knocked out of Dream Team Sport's Last Man Standing in Week 3. Rather than spend the rest of the autumn with nothing to argue about, I built my own and we've been going strong ever since.
Last season there were 261. Here's hoping everyone comes back joined by some of their friends, family members and favorite coworkers.
