How Does He Do It?

Well, let's start this weekly update with the amazing leap by Mr. Jay Roche in the Gridiron Challenge. Last week, if you will recall, he was in a respectable third place behind Amy and Scott - 42 points behind Amy. Well our friend did a "little research" this week and blew everyone away with a whopping 161 points and now finds himself in first place all by himself - 36 points ahead of second place Amy. Scott is still in third place with 114. This week's finish was the afore mentioned Mr. Roche in first, myself with (what I thought was a respectable) 111, and Lin in third with 109. Let this be lesson to all of us that a "little research" goes a long way. Well done Jay.

Let's see, where can we go from there? Remember that this Thursday is the last of the Thursday night games and it is still very close between, Scott, Amy Lin and Jay. Good luck to you all.

Eliminator Challenge: Scott and I continue to be perfect in this game along with 3,113 other competitors. This week we lost about 500 in the game. This is really getting interesting as each week goes by and we see the selection of teams dwindling.

Pigskin Pickem: There were 10 entries who tied for first this week with 11 correct answers. A couple of games messed everyone up. Who thought that Arizona was still playing football this year or that Baltimore could beat Pittsburgh. I would just like to see someone knock off the Colts before the playoffs. Don't ask me why, I just do - my blog, my thoughts. As for the overall standings, they are as follows:

1. Lin - 111
2. Mike & Lin - 107
3. Big Jay - 106
4. Mike - 105
5. Sue - 104

As you can see still very close with 6 weeks remaining. I might mention who has paid up in this game and is eligible for prize money at the end. They are, Lin, Mike, Jay, Big Jay, Amy, Sue, and Bryan. Six weeks, three entries each, anything can happen. Do not forget that the pros play on Thursday this week as well with Detroit and Dallas and their annual Thanksgiving Day games so pick early.

Hope everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. As Jackie likes to say, I'll catch you burgers on the flip side. Hmmm, that makes me hungry...see ya!
