Pre-season football has already begun. Soon the start of the NFL season will be here. One question: Who's in?
Sources have confirmed that John Couch, last year's champion, is leaning toward a one-year hiatus. The reason given was busyness due to university courses and Halifax Mooseheads season tickets. However, one source suggests John is looking for the "Favre treatment."
If John does not join the pool this year, it would be the second straight year that the pool champion did not defend his crown. (Word is that Bert is enjoying his time away from the pool but could possibly be coaxed out of retirement if Joel issued an apology for not officially recognizing his championship title.)
There were rumors that Commissioner Joel, more elusive than Bigfoot, was in Atlantic Canada recently. This writer did not see him and is starting to wonder if he's still alive. Probably, though, we'll finally hear from Joel two minutes before kickoff.

Jeremy is in. I lose much respect for 'Champions' that do not have the guts (I know, I know - they often hide behind other lame excuses) to defend their titles.
I have received email confirmation that Bob is in.
The season starts on a Wednesday this year so we probably hear from Joel that morning while everyone at work or school.
You should remind Brett Couch that he might be bored without the Leafs to fill out his Saturday nights - he would still have time to research his picks. ... But then again maybe that's when he sleeps . Usually ... :)
I am in - I can't end my consecutive years streak until Joel takes a year off first. (Patrick)
So far, Jeremy, Bob, Patrick, and Jonathan are all in. What about the rest?
Comment from Bert via Facebook: "I couldn't read the 2 words necessary to post a comment on your blog. I won't be in the pool this yr. Will be in Africa for 6 or 7 NFL weeks and it's hard to keep up from there. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. Being disrespected by 2 relatives in the pool helped me with my decision as well. ;)"
