Nemmers Scrum

Hello Footballers,

Let’s just take a moment to be glad that we run a king of the hill pool here and not fantasy football.  With the injuries (and mono) this week, we saw lots of disruption at the QB position, including in Pittsburgh (season ending elbow injury for Rothlesburger), New Orleans (Brees broke his thumb, out for 6 weeks) and the Jets (I’m not sure who is left after mono and some injuries.)

On our own front, we saw a couple more folks get strikes.  Kevin we already knew about, and Dan takes a hit with the hometown Bengals.  And, everyone who picked the Texans should be pretty excited about their ability to stop the Jags on 4th down at the end of the game’s goal line play, or this week could have been a real blood bath.

This week’s Thursday game is Tennesee v. Jacksonville.  If you are bold enough to go with that game, then I need your pick before kickoff.  Otherwise, let’s get those picks in by end of day on Friday.

And, for pictures this week, I’m posting from a summer event – Whoosie’s 70th b-day shin dig in Des Moines.  It was a ton of fun: seeing family, eating cake, attending the best farmers market in the universe, and of course, achieving my life long dream of seeing the Oscar Meyer Weiner Mobile.  Y’all – send more pictures.
