Alrighty then,

Sorry this is way late, but here we go.........................

First, thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Florida that has been devastated by the hurricane. We were there in 2020 and went to Sanibel Island, Fort Meyers Beach and Naples. So sad to see that happen to such a beautiful area, especially Sanibel.

We nearly had our first perfect score of the season by Steve F. But it wasn't to be as the upstart Cowboys behind Cooper Rush bested the upstart Giints and Daniel Jones. Dak who? For us it was the fast starting Jake FSF besting the upstart Steve F. They both went 9 for 9 with their picks, but it was our 2015 Champ taking 1st place with 53, the highest score of the year so far. He had a very prosperous season last year and looks like he's serious about taking home the trophy this year. And that makes three weeks in a row he's landed in the Ca$hi$h too. Steve F was so close with 49 and with his upstart, gets his $econd mention of the $eason. 3rd place went to AdriaNa with 47 also getting here $econd mention. 4th place went to Terrence V with 45 points, and we had a tie for beer money in 5th between John and Rick with 42. Honorable mention goes to Jim K just a point behind. CONGRATS TO ALL THE WINNERS!

In the overall points race, the top three spots remain the same, with Jake FSF, Kevin T and Rick running 1-2-3. AdriaNa is joined in the tie for 4th by Steve F. Just off the pace and dropping one place is Jeremy.

OK, some house cleaning. This week is the last week that we add players. I'm 100% confident there won't be any last minute additions. I've been propping up three new people that said they were in, but they haven't been responding or making picks. I'm 100% sure they will be dropped after this week. There's a fourth who's been in for a couple of years, but probably will be dropped also. That will leave us with the perfect number of 60! Based on that number, the weekly payout will be 125, 75, 50, 30 and 20.

All checks will be deposited tomorrow, and the first four weeks of winners will be paid out right away.

Second place luck to you all this week,

Larry E.
