At a glance, you might be moved by the fact that 2016-17 Coeur d’Alene Press All-Star Pigskin Prognosticators Ryan Davis and Jeff Conroy are playing for each other.

If he wins, Davis, executive director of Boys & Girls Club of Kootenai County, will donate pages of Press advertising to St. Vincent de Paul North Idaho - the nonprofit headed by Conroy. And if Conroy wins, he’s going to donate the Press advertising to Boys & Girls Club.

Which just goes to show you that glances can be deceiving.

Upon agreeing to compete this year, here’s the email exchange between Davis and Conroy, as captured by a bald-headed League official and other pigskin prognosticators.

DAVIS: As a Packer fan, I am very confident that I can make very accurate picks and no doubt do well for Jeff.

Conroy is a 49er fan...

What level of confidence does that leave me to hold onto?

CONROY: This is just another way for Davis to pillage the donations of Coeur d’Alene. My two favorite teams are the Niners and anyone playing the PACKERS! (and not really a Seachicken fan either)

DAVIS: Really, Jeffery? You start the Packer trash talking in the first email chain? We need to redefine our relationship...

CONROY: Kids today...

Yep, this is going to be one interesting season. And expect plenty of bluster from some of the other players, as well.

Ladylike Eve Knudtsen, for instance, threw this bullet at her buddies: The Niners? Really, Jeff?? I put them in the same boat as the “Seachickens” — a sinking one, at that.

Ouch! The League would penalize Knudtsen 15 yards for unnecessary roughness but we’re laughing too hard to throw a flag. Plus, she’s a really good advertiser.

Other inter-league samplings before Week One kicks off:

MARK KOERNER: Now that the Seahawks have a player joining in with Kaepernick, are all the Seahawks fans just as upset? Or will they let it slide because he is on “their” team? Go Eagles!

TORIANA PARRIS for JOHN GERVAIS: That’s right boys…cuz football is 80% mental and 40% physical!

BLAINE BENNETT: Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to join this prestigious group!!! [Official League statement: There’s at least one nice guy in this group, apparently.]

STEVE GRIFFITTS: Knowing Duffy [Smock], he will remain quiet...yet will perform admirably on the field! I am most disappointed with those individuals who refer to the Seattle team in a pejorative fashion… Let the games begin!!!

The games begin now on Page B5.
