Nemmers Scrum

Hello Footballers!

Thanks to a blowout by the Seahawks, and a last second crazy TD play by the Eagles to beat Tampa Bay, the football pool has come to an end.  This year, Kevin bested all others with his savvy guess-taking and general football pool prowess.  And Paul, with his weekly early-pick precision will have to settle for second place.  Congrats to Kevin for winning the $180 pot: just in time for wifey-related holiday shopping!

A great season full of lots of fun for sure.  Thanks to everyone who played!  I hope you guys all had a great time and will not only play again next year, but will strongly encourage your family members that did not play (Andy, Whoosie, Meredith, Dana – I’m talkin’ to you!) to play as well.  Mostly, because it will be more fun.  But also, because I figure third time’s a charm for me, and I want the pot to be REALLY BIG when I win next year!

Thanks again.  Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Monday Night (cue Hank Williams…)

Hello Footballers – or just Kevin and Paul:

Here’s the pick sheet for this week.  If you both win or lose, then I promise to come up with something good for the last 3 weeks of the season.

Wow: a couple of shockers yesterday have changed the landscape of the Scrum.  With an OT 54 yard field goal by the Rams, Howie was knocked out of the pool.  And, Charlie Batch probably wasn’t the only person crying at the end of the Ravens/Steelers rivalry game:  Dianne and Bailey both ended their runs this year with Suisham’s game winning Steelers FG.  But, somehow, barrel scrapers Paul (picking Buffalo) and Kevin (picking the Jets), managed to stay in it.    3 weeks to go, and 2 players left – good stuff!

Hello Footballers.  Sorry for the late post, yesterday I was held hostage by little elves and forced to put up Christmas decorations all day  – or maybe it was just Violet holding me hostage.  Regardless, the house is now full of holiday cheer.

5 players, 4 different picks this week. And, a lot of complaining at the picks.  We’ll see what happens.  Kevin said he’d be nice and not put the Stink Eye on Bailey and Dianne for picking the Ravens against his battered Steelers.  Good luck to all!
