Hello Footballers,
This week there was a bit of grumbling about how tough the picks were. But as I explained to Margie, if the picks were too obvious, everyone would pick the same teams. The good news is this week is that ALL SIX teams in our competition have been selected as a Power Team. Anything could happen! And that, I think, is pretty fun.
A programming note for those of you keeping score at home: the Tampa Bay / Las Vegas game was supposed to be the Sunday night game, but due to some weird covid-related precautions they have moved that game to a 4:30 EST start. If for some freak reason it gets cancelled, then we will remove that game from the picks, and NO ONE will get any power picks. Again, if the TB/LV game gets cancelled, the most points available this weekend will be 2.
And…here’s our shout out to John and Margie Sherburne, celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary this weekend. I think about how much fun we had in San Antonio a few years back for Charlie and Judy’s 50th, (a lot of which was with Margie’s help), and wish John and Margie a fantastic celebration. Hooray for 25 years! We are all sending our love to you! (Special thanks to their daughter Madison for sneaking me a copy of this super-cute wedding photo!).
Have a great week. And this week more than ever – GO STEELERS!
Emily
