Hey Football Gang,

Getting this out late this year, but not as late as year. It looks like there is going to be a football season again, so we will have a football pool too.

THE website is not up and running yet so please wait until I give the all clear to test your log in, etc. Should be by this coming weekend.

THE Weekly Football Pool starts THREE weeks from Thursday on Sept 9th, with the Dallas Cowpokes @ the Super Bowl Champ Tom Brady Buccaneers.

As always, If you are staying in the pool this year, send me a reply saying "I'M IN!"

If you have any prospects that want to get in, forward this email to them and tell them to send an email to [email protected] saying who they are and that they are IN like Flint!

I've included the people who sat out last year on this email, just in case they have some stimulus money left over that they want to donate.

Once again this year, we will be using Pay Pal for those who want to pay their entry fee electronically. I still accept checks, cash or money order. USD lol

Attached are the Pool Memo and Rules. As I said, the website is not set up yet so wait till I give the all clear before trying to log on.

So if you are IN, send me a reply saying I'M IN.

Larry E.

Alrighty then,

THE Weekly Football Pool is a wrap for 2020. With everything that has gone on this season, and continues to impede life in these United States, as The Grateful Dead once sang, What a Long Strange Trip it's Been!

This year only four people picked both games correctly. Last year we had twenty people get them both right. A lot of action was riding on Green Bay as a favorite and Buffalo as an underdog this year.

Total points scored were 119, 3 more than last year, 13 more than the the O/U line.

So.............Taking 1st place with the closest tie breaker of 102 was Todd S. His last first place was the WCP week of season 2018, so he can rest easy now, the drought is over.lol 2nd place was a tie at 97 between Sam K who has had a good year, and Larry A who waited till the last week to get on the board. Just a point off with 96 and taking 4th was Roger G, his first mention of the year also. The consolation prize goes to everybody who scored 10 points, too many to mention. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

Drum roll please............................

With the most total overall points of 603, and crowned the Champion of THE Weekly Football Pool 2020 is Mike M!

He was in the top group most of the year and after taking over the top spot in week 17, didn't let up and rode 1st place to the finish. This is his second time in three years winning the title as he was also our Champion in the 2018 season.

Taking 2nd place is Cris E who put up a good fight till the end but couldn't quite close that gap. 3rd goes to AdriaNNa who had the top spot for eight weeks in a row but slipped a little in the last few weeks.

4th place is a tie between Sam K and Timmy from Las Vegas who were both in and out the top group all season. This years honorable mention goes to Steve F, who was right there most of the way.

AND, for the first time ever, we are awarding a ca$hi$h boobie prize to the person who took last place. And in the inaugural year of the award, that honor goes to Chon D. CONGRATS AGAIN TO ALL THE 2020 WINNERS!!!!!

I hope everyone had a good time. Let's hope things are closer to normal in 2021 and we can all enjoy football without politics and egos mucking things up for us. Good to job everyone for getting yours picks in and making it easy on the Commish. And as always, a YUGE thanks to my son Steven for maintaining the website and keeping things running.

Enjoy the big game in two weeks. I will be doing a side pool for the Stuper Bowl like we did a few years ago. A seperate email will be sent out for that.

And I predict again this year, the red team will win the Big Game.

Everyone take care and be safe,

Larry E.

DON'T FORGET TO SEND ME YOUR TIE BREAKER
