The First Other Update

Hey football fans,

Thought I would get everyone up to date on the other side of the football fantasy games before someone went into a spittle filled rage like Bobby Knight being cut off in traffic. Hmm...sounds like something I might do. Oh well. There is a group of die hard fantasy footballers who can't get enough and refuse to just play the college games on Saturdays and you guys are them. We are now a few weeks into the long season and this how it looks thus far.

Pigskin Pickem - this is the other "money game" if you are so inclined. Most everyone on the email is in with their $10.00 except for Big Jay, Joan, Jason (the younger), and Scott. Just send me your money if you want to reap the benefits at the end of the season. Same payout as the colleges; 50% to first place, 30% to second, and 20% to third. Here are the standings after the fourth week:
1. Lin
2. Jason (the younger)
3. tie Cathy (only playing home field) & Bryan
5. tie Myself (2 entries) and Amy
With three entries and a 17 week season there will be more repositioning than Nomar at bat. Five points separate 1st place from 10th place so don't get discouraged yet Sue.

Thursday Night Challenge - or as I like to call it, "how the hell should I know."
1. Lin (is this a pattern?)
2. Scott
3. Bryan
4. Amy
5. Jason (the middler)
Last week was a tough week on everyone. Good luck to all this week.

Eliminator - This is one game where you need to keep playing to see how you fall by the end of the season. With the parity in the league this year, this is proving to be quite tough each week. Last week saw Jason (the younger) drop from the consecutive weeks of correct answers. There are now only three of us who are perfect on the season (hope I didn't just jinx us.) They are Scott, Bryan and myself. Let's keep this string alive.

Gridiron Challenge - This is like the baseball game but you only have to change once a week. Or you can do it like I did baseball, make your team and live with it the rest of the season. So what if half of your guys have the week off. Surely you will make it up later in the season. Sorry guys this one is too short to do that. Che
