football_fan 42 Posted December 30, 2005 Who did you select for your joker? If, you don't mind, I'm going to hold off naming him until the entries are in -just in case someone else chooses him. 1st Jan, I promise I will tell all - hell, if it isn't up on DDP already by then, I'll post me whole list. No problem. I understand. There are already over 150 entries for next year, so it is going to be some very stiff competition among the teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Standup 0 Posted December 30, 2005 Delurking (and registering) to say good luck to all in the 2006 pool, hopefully the Snuff Daddies can emerge from the middle of the pack this year. My entry has been sent so I can stop scanning the wires for the latest hospital admissions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grobler 35 Posted December 31, 2005 I'm RIGHT looking forward to DDP 06.... 2005 was my first attempt....and I'm hopeful of scoring better this year . However , a couple of my surefire unique picks are (I fear) going to be picked up by sicker and sadder people than me who scan the local news 24/7....
