I think the cutoff for the Yahoo tourney pick-em is Thursday morning. The play-in game isnā€™t part of the bracket. Thatā€™s odd about the ā€œfull Yahoo IDā€ thing. I always sign in to Yahoo with just my user name. I saw my wife logging into her Yahoo email the other day with her user name @yahoo.com and I said ā€œYou donā€™t really have to do that, just enter your user nameā€, but when she tried that it wouldnā€™t let her. Iā€™m not sure why Yahoo is inconsistent about this. ---

Thanks for nothing. Itā€™s 2009. You donā€™t have a yahoo account? You donā€™t know that anything done on Yahoo Sports requires a yahoo account? I think we can give him a pass for not mentioning that. ---
