Nemmers Scrum

Hello Footballers,

In a very unlikely turn of events all 3 players still left in contention lost on Sunday.  The Miami Miracle caused New England’s defeat and the Broncos just forgot to show up.

But, in Gerri’s loss with the Patriots, it was also we week to win as both Stephanie and Kevin were eliminated.

So a big congratulations to Gerri Lefton:  2018 Scrum Champion.  Your money is on it’s way!

Thanks to everyone who played along in 2018, and also for sending along the photos. It sure is fun to get to see what everyone is up to.  And with that, have a very Merry Christmas….we’ll see you in August of 2019!

Hello Footballers,

Somehow, Gerri has not only made it to week 14, but has made it without a single error, and with New England still available as her pick. That’s pretty dang impressive.  We’ll see if Tom Brady can get it done for her today against the Dolphins.

As for Stephanie and Kevin, they’ll both be pulling for a Broncos victory or the whole pool is at its end.

The bonus today are some photos from Whoosie and Mary’s Thanksgiving in Florida.  I forgot to send them last week, but it brightened my day to see their smiling faces, and thought it might brighten yours too…even if it was a week late.

Hello Footballers,

Sorry that I am so late getting last week’s results out to you.  It is that time of year where every night has a band concert.  Seriously – the kids performed 3 times this week, and Vi has another performance tomorrow.

But, we’re here now, and I have to say that jerky Aaron Rodgers found a way to let me down. With their loss last Sunday I was eliminated from the pool.  Boo.  Maybe I should talk to his State Farm Agent.  But, keeping things in perspective – all I lost was my chance at pool-victory, I didn’t lose my job like some people.  Kevin thinks Mike McCarthy got fired because the Packers organization got wind that I was eliminated and made McCarthy the fall guy, but I’m not so sure.

Get your picks in for this weekend.  We’re too late for the Thursday game…although Kevin is grumbling about not picking Tennessee when he had the chance.

Good luck to Stephanie, Gerri and Kevin!

Hello Footballers,

This week, we’ve got three players pulling for the Seahawks and one (me) pulling for Green Bay.  It’s against my nature to cheer for Aaron Rodgers, but this week I’m gonna do it!

Good luck to Stephanie, Gerri and Kevin!

And, as we put up our tree today – I have to wonder – what football themed ornaments do you have on your Christmas tree?
