Ok, I'll set this up again. I'll also get around to tabulation last season's winner at some point. Your choices:

Arsenal
Aston Villa
Brighton & Hove Albion
Burnley
Chelsea
Crystal Palace
Everton
Fulham
Leeds United
Leicester City
Liverpool
Manchester City
Manchester United
Newcastle United
Sheffield United
Southampton
Tottenham Hotspur
West Bromwich Albion
West Ham United
Wolverhampton Wanderers

Comment with SPOILERS below and I'll get it all compiled. (Or maybe I'll outsource it.) Submissions due by September 18.

Also, I've traditionally participated in a head-to-head Fantasy Premier League for $20 that recently dissolved, so I'm trying to create a replacement. If anyone wants to play (it'll only be for $20 if we get enough entries), let me know and I'll shoot you the league code. It's run on the Premier League website and will use the $100.0 salary cap, so you'll just need to create a team and join the league by this Friday.

Initial Time We Play A Game With Two Letters For Three Weeks After The Fourth Of July

158 Comments

Just in case the guy on KFAN has got his intellectual property ducks in a row with his Kickstarter thing, I will not refer to this game by the same name he has given his version. Instead, this will be the initial time I "host" a game for the second on this platform with the following rules:

1. I will give you two letters (for example, "K.P"). All the items that week will be a two-word answer in which each word begins with letter in the appropriate spot. The answer can be a person, place, thing, or other two-word phrase. For example, if "K.P." are the letters, then one answer might be Kirby Puckett. Another answer might be "Krakow, Poland." And so on.

2. I will provide six clues for each answer. The clues will be provided one-at-a-time.

3. If you believe you know the answer, make a Spoilered guess in the thread. The point will go to whomever correctly identifies the answer first. If you submit an incorrect response, then you can no longer submit for that particular answer.

4. The participant with the most correct answers at the end of the week wins. (If there is a tie, then I will have tiebreakers for only the participants in the tie.)

5. You're going to be on the honor system, but you should not be using the internet or other resources.

The letters will be revealed, and clues for the first phrase will commence at about 10:00am. (Barring some sort of unforeseen incident at the dentist.)
