I told you never to trust someone named Earl! Nobody ever listens to ol' Tom. At least nobody with good judgment. Helpful (and free of charge) hint: You have plenty of time before the next Swami to change Earl's name. You're probably rushed for time to do it for the playoffs--depending upon how quickly you can get the paperwork done at your local courthouse.

Tuesday/Wednesday?!?!?!
Delay! Delay! Delay!
Often a winning strategy. We'll see how it does with Playoff Swami--The Game Where Dogs Dominate Donkeys Named Earl.

Congratulation to esad and REDeYeS00, monies have been shipped!

Let's run this pool back for Playoff Swami!

You can play for free, or enter the pool for $20 one time. Payouts to be determined by number of entrants.

If you shipped for the regular season pool, you should still have my shipping details in your pm's.

If you'd like to enter the side pool, post in this thread, and I'll pm you details.

Entries lock by kickoff Saturday!

Also a belated thanks to TJ for providing the escrow.

And grats to esad and RED for ending up with some of my hard-earned cash. Well, I think it was hard-earned. I really can't recall.

Swami is free to play and free to enter,

But if you'd like to enter the one-time $20 side pool, let me know!

If you were in our regular season side pool, you should still have my shipping details in your pm's.

If you don't, and you'd like to enter, or can't find it, post here and I'll pm you details.

We're up to 5 paid entries so far:

TJ Eckleburg12
esad
REDeYeS00
Fede86
CowboyCold

You need to ship before kickoff Saturday for your entry to be live!

GG and GL!!!

And if Buford turns out to be Earl in disguise there will be a bus from Huntsville at your door to give you a lift Monday morning after the Superb Owl!
