Nemmers Scrum

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all had a fun holiday.

Here are the picks for this week’s games. The early games were not kind to our players. We have two more games tomorrow. There is a lot riding on the Chargers game this weekend.

Good luck everyone!

Yawn. What a boring week for your beloved commissioner. It’s so much more fun for me whenever someone gets a strike and the standings shuffle. The exception of course, is if I get a strike… in which case I’d prefer boring weeks like this.

The standings remain unchanged as there were no upsets for our players this week. There are still two undefeated Sherburnes (boo!) and seven other contenders with one strike (yay!)

There are lots of early games this week. Week 13 picks are due before kickoff for holiday games and Friday night for everything else. I’ll send out the picks once I receive them all.

I hope everyone is doing something fun this week with friends or family. Please send me any fun pictures from your Thanksgiving adventures.

cheers!

Happy Weekend-Before-Thanskgiving everyone! Here are the picks for Sunday.

We have 4 games to focus on this week. Violet will be relaxing on the couch, sitting this one out. I probably should have done the same.

Go Steelers!

Week 11 has come and gone. The standings remain exactly as before. Even though Baltimore, Green Bay and Houston kept it close, everyone won and advanced this past weekend.

We still have 2 perfect players and 7 other contenders. However, after 11 weeks the number of favorite teams has to be dwindling. Right?!

Ready or not, week 12 is waiting for you. Send in your picks by Friday night.

cheers!

He everyone! We had several players take the early Patriots pick and are now sitting pretty going into the weekend.

For those of us who had already used NE, things may get a little dicey on Sunday. There were 5 different teams picked this week. Which teams will survive?

Welcome back from another weekend of football chaos. The Seahawks and Lions were the picks of the weekend as both teams ran away with their victories. The Colts also rallied in Berlin to defeat the Falcons in overtime. This was great news for seven of our players. But then there were the other two games…

The two-win Dolphins were 8 point underdogs and apparently didn’t get the memo that they were supposed to roll over for the vastly superior Bills. They dominated from the start and never looked back handing Violet her first strike and eliminating Emily. Boo!

Carolina has turned the corner and had a chance to compete for first place in the NFC West. But instead they let the Saints march in all over them. This gave Paul his first strike.

After 10 weeks, we are down to nine players. John and Margie have perfect records and seven other players are hanging around with a strike.

The list of good teams to pick is getting thinner and the bad teams seem to be stealing wins. We should have some interesting weekends ahead.

Send me your week 11 picks by Friday night or kickoff Thursday if you pick the early game.

cheers!

Here are all the picks for week 10. We have 5 different teams, but half of the pool is picking the Seahawks. Those are the good guys this week.

Go Steelers!

Hello again sports fans. I did some of my best work yet executing a jinx this past weekend. I concentrated and did backyard rituals to ensure a dramatic Rams loss. Unfortunately, the jinx backfired and hit the Packers instead! Apparently, the Lions also took on some of the collateral damage and also collapsed. Two of the best teams in football laid an egg. Dang it!

The Rams and Chargers skated along to comfortable victories, satisfying the masses. Unfortunately, I picked up my first strike while Stephanie and Dianne were eliminated from the competition. If you can’t safely pick the Lions and Packers AND you can’t safely pick against the Panthers… what’s a player to do?!

That leaves four untarnished perfect players: Violet, Margie, John and Paul. It also leaves another six hanging on with one strike.

Things are going to get tougher in the weeks ahead. Picks for week 10 are due Friday night or Thursday kickoff for the early game.

Finally, the photo of the week is Emily as Rosie the Riveter. We can do it!

Here are the picks for week 9. We have 4 teams to watch this week. The majority of players took the Rams. Which means the juiciest upset would be an victory by the little Saints. Who dat?

Emily is the first to take advantage of her bye week. She said her brain is full and is taking a week to watch from the sidelines. She will be cheering for all of the upsets. Reminder, everyone gets the option to take one week off this season.

Good luck to everyone who picked the Packers this week! 

And Go Steelers!
