And Then Were Two (As In Weeks Left)

Can you just feel the pressure building? I know some who are starting to sweat just a little. Some probably wish last week was in fact THE LAST WEEK! But sorry you folks who are starting to have to clear your collective throats as the final two weeks of the season are upon us. Maybe with the excitement of the Bowl Season and Christmas they can take their minds off of the picks and games ahead. Remember, that most of the NFL games are on Saturday this week so make your picks early lest you fall farther behind. Speaking of Christmas, when someone asks you if you are ready for Christmas, don't hit them although you might want to, just tell them that you will be. You will won't you? On to the updates.

Scott is defying all that our group has stood for in the past by still remaining perfect in the Eliminator along with 1514 others. I remain tied for second with 4216 others. I can't wait to see what we might win.

In the Gridiron, you might remember last week I thought there would be a shake up of the standings. Well what I meant was I would fall flat on my face and drop down to below everyone who is trying to take this game seriously. Helped by a week where he scored over 100 points, Jay has remained in first place and 107 points now separate 1st from 5th place, but only 57 separate 1st from 3rd. I think I can hear him sweating, very sad. If someone knows a quarterback who can play the entire game let Jay know so he can add him to his roster. Hey jay Brady does. On to the standings.

1. Jay - 1156
2. Amy - 1528
3. Scott - 1499
4. Lin & Bryan - 1475
5. Me - 1449

Finally, Lin has either decide to stick with one name, I mean his current name OR, he has run out of names in the Pigskin Pickem. The later is highly unlikely. Regardless, here is another who you can almost hear sweat. A few facts. Lin has lost 2 points to me in the last two weeks and 3 each to Big Jay and Amy over the same period. We might run out of weeks but Lin has to be careful and when you are too careful you tend to make mistakes. This is not my unique idea but it is proven again and again. Will see what happens this week. You just need to know what upsets to pick and by the way, don't listen to any idiot experts on TV. I did and it cost me a game with my second place entry. On to the standings.

1. Lin - 158
2. Big Jay and Me - 155
3. Amy - 154
4. Sue and Me - 153

Well that does it for this week. Enjoy all the football, college and pros, this week. We will be talking to most of you over Christmas. Hope our journeys are safe and you get most everything you wish for Christmas. Thanks again and enjoy Jethro Tull.
