Hello Footballers,
I hope you are all basking in the glow of a weekend of victory. Congrats to everyone for picking a winner this week.
Speaking of winners, let’s all give Whoosie a big ol’ virtual high five for her amazing success in the Des Moines Half Marathon on Sunday. That’s right, while we were all watching a sodden slogfest between the 49ers and the Redskins, Whoosie was kicking butt and taking names in the women’s 70+ age group of the 13.1 mile race – placing 2nd in her division. Such an impressive feat (and a good looking medal)!
Also, I wanted to let everyone know that the Dallas Manteeth are a-ok. The tornado that hit Dallas on Sunday evening was very near to our house. We did seek shelter on the interior of our house and wait it out. We are completely fine, we never lost power, and not a single branch is down on our street. But, lots of our neighborhood is a complete loss – from the Home Depot a couple miles west, to our favorite little book shop a couple miles east, and some schools, homes, churches, and favorite restaurants in between, there is lots of damage. So, yes we are ok, but we are also so very lucky and a little sad. One block in any direction and it could have been us.
This week, the Thursday game is Redskins at Vikings. If you’re going with this pick, send it in before kickoff. Otherwise, picks are due by end of day on Friday.
