Nemmers Scrum

The football pool season got off to a relatively smooth start this weekend, with only a few surprises. Paul and Kevin were knocked quickly by trusting the Super Bowl champs on Thursday. Equally surprising was the collapse of Cincinnati and the rise of Jacksonville to knock off the Texans. Paul, Dan, Sam, and I all took our first strike. It’s a tough way to kick off the season!

The (proxy) Commissioner’s Pick of the Week goes to Gabe who believed in the Rams (4-12 last season) and watched them win by 37 Sunday.

Week 2 usually offers its share of surprises before the teams settle in and we figure out who’s who this season. The commissioner is back on duty, so please send your picks to Emily prior to Friday evening. If you’re picking the Thursday game, please send at least an hour before kickoff.

And how is our commissioner? She pulled out another successful 3-days of chocolate with the Dallas Chocolate Festival. Here are some photos from the festival. These are taken by friends and the Dallas Observer.
