An Explanation

So here's the deal: six cousins, separated by geography, time and football knowledge, have challenged each other* to a contest of less-than-epic proportions. Each has picked** five teams, three professional and two college, whose performance during the year will determine the winner.

The stakes couldn't be lower. At this point, there's been no announced prize to the victor. But pride is a mighty important thing in the Coleman clan. It just remains to be seen whether winning this particular contest will be a source of pride or not.

Let the games begin, and somebody pass me a beer.

* One of our number (hint: the one named after something in your kitchen) did not choose any teams, so teams were picked for him, without his consent.

** See above.
