Hello Footballers,
Well, for almost everyone, we got off to a pretty good start. No perfect picks here in week one, but a giant helping of 4 point players. Well done to all you excellent (or maybe just lucky) pickers. And don’t be fooled that Bill is in first place – he just happens to have the letter of his name closest to the front of the alphabet. Unless we’re talking about advanced age – then yes, records do indicate that Bill is first.
On the flip side of all those amazing 4 point players are the low scores. The only thing worse than my picks this week was the clang of the football ricocheting off the upright in overtime of the Steelers game. At least they went on to win it. Fingers are crossed that me and Dana both manage to right the ship this week.
The tricky nature of the picking continues in week 2. I’ll try to keep picking teams we haven’t picked as long as the point spreads cooperate. You guys keep picking against each other, and we’ll all have a good time.
The games for week 2 are:
Commanders (Redskins) v Lions
Patriots v Steelers
Dolphins v Ravens
Please send your selections by the end of the day on Friday.
While you are mulling those choices, here are a few pictures from our group to see what everyone has been up to.
Dianne and Paul in Bermuda clearly struggling with how to handle having an empty nest for the first time in a quarter century.
Bill’s 80th birthday party – proving that sashes and tiaras aren’t just for beauty pageant contestants.
And a stop at Pisa on Sherburne’s European Summer Cruise – making up for missed COVID vacations in the most glorious of locales.
More pictures to come in the weeks ahead. You guys were awesome to send some great stuff. But, feel free to send more along as the mood strikes you!
Go Steelers!
