Nemmers Scrum

It’s like the Superbowl – almost everyone is cheering for New England (cheaters!) or Seattle (Legion of Boom!).  The only thing we can all agree on, is the cheering goes better with queso.

Arizona, Carolina and Paul with his lone pick of Green Bay are the only teams picked.  You guys can tell me how it all turns out, I’ll be too busy watching the Rangers try to wrap up their division title against the Astros.

Good luck to everyone.

Hello Footballers!

Like Hailey’s comet or a jackalope, some things are so rare, you might never see them in a lifetime.  This week one of those things occurred when in the second week of the pool only 2 players guessed right – and both were the only person to pick that specific team.  Way to go SAM and CELIA – you guys knocked it out of the park this week.

The rest of us, are mostly glad that this is a two strike league.  But, that wasn’t enough for Howie or Joel, as – sadly – they have both been eliminated this week.  We are truly sad to see you go out so early.

So, the ONLY PERSON with no strikes – Celia Lillegard.

Thursday night is the Giants and the Redskins.  If you want this game, I need your pick by Thursday before Kick Off.  Otherwise, by end of day Friday.

Also, big shout outs this week to BAILEY who medaled in golf by placing 6th out of 46 in the Ozark Conference Championships.  And, to all who are walking in Minneapolis at the NAMI event this weekend, our thoughts are with you.

Well, there’s nothing like having a 10 point spread to be the favorite pick.  For the 8 of us who didn’t pick the Saints, we’re going to be cheering against Drew Brees and the gang in a way that doesn’t quite seem fair to such a nice guy.

Celia is the lone pick for the Steelers, and Charlie N. is flying solo on the Raven’s…while Indy and Miami got a little bit of love.

Here’s the picks.  Good luck.  Tell me what happens on Monday, as I’ll be busy watching the DIVISION LEADING TEXAS RANGERS!!!!!!  LET’S GO RANGERS!!!!!  Oh, sorry, I got off track there for a minute.  Football…right, football….

Good luck to all.  The results won’t be posted until Tuesday, as the Indy game isn’t until Monday night.

We have made it through week one, and thanks to some last-minute excitement by Tony Romo, all those who picked the Cowboys over the Giants in week 1 survived.  Apparently, there is also safety in numbers…as the three people who had lone picks were the only ones to get strikes this week.  Sam, Howie, and Joel have all sustained their first strike.

The Thursday night game for week 2 is Broncos and Chiefs.  If you want either of them: get your pick in before kick off on Thursday, otherwise, get your pick in by end of day Friday.

Also, if you haven’t mailed in your $$ – get to it already!

….and, because I thought this was pretty cool….during the Sunday night game, the event that I worked so hard on for the last 12 weeks was featured in the little spot coming out of a commercial break during the NBC broadcast of the Dallas Game.  So, here you go….
