Alrighty then,

Week 1 is on the books. Couple of great comeback games on Sunday and Monday nights to end the week on a high note. We didn't start with a perfect score of 55 this year, but we were pretty close.

Taking 1st place with a near perfect score of 50 and going 9 for 10 is one of the original members of TWFP Mike Hayes. It was called the Jean Hendrix Pool back then. I don't know if he ever had a 1st place in the fax machine years, but he was runner up in 2016 in the website years. And he's off to a great start in 2025.

Taking 2nd with a good score of 46 is the husband and wife team that started off last year with a perfect score, Christina & Todd. They were the Champions of 2016, took 5th place last year and are off to another good start this year. In 3rd place we have a tie between Jeff T and Jocelyn with 43. And 5th place goes to our website master Steven, with 42. Honorable mention is a five way tie between Anna, Carson, John, Jose C and Richard L.

The spreads will be set and the pick sheet emailed out on Wednesday morning.

Alrighty everyone,

Today's the big kickoff day, the start of the best of the five seasons!

If you have an initial by your name and have any trouble logging in, try putting a space between your name and your initial. If that's not it, be sure to let me know right away so we can get you hooked up.

Today we are at 64 players. WOOHOO! TWFP is going strong. And l haven't heard from three of the regulars that were IN last year. We might get to 65-67. That being said, let's all welcome one more new player to the water, Andy Major signed up today. Thank You for your contribution!

We will have five payouts again this year. The weekly winner will get $125 duckets, and the rest of the ca$i$h gets dished out accordingly. The overall winner and Champion of TWFP 2025 gets $600, and the remainder dished accordingly. But more importantly, the overall winner gets the 2025 Champions trophy to put on their mantle along with life's other great accomplishments!

If you have anyone else that wants to jump in the pool, tell them to send me an email with their zip code and I'll sign them up.

We accept entries up until Week 4. If anyone else joins before then, they will get the average score for the weeks they were not in the pool. The entry is still $125.

If you're getting this email, but you are OUT this year, please send me a reply and just say I'm OUT. It's no biggie, just want to be sure and stop harassing you.lol

Just a reminder, you DON'T have to make all your picks before the start of the Thursday game, but they must be done by kickoff of the Sunday game(s). Pro Tip: You can flip your pick and points around as long as the game(s) hasn't started.

Okay, the Commish is feeling as confident as LSU and their victory over "Climsin"! Could be the start of something big?

As is tradition, Second place luck to you all this season,

Larry E

Alrighty then here we go...................

The spreads are set on the website and the Week 1 pick sheet is attached and pasted, so pick away!

We have another new player in the group. Let's all give a warm TWFP welcome to Riel Adalin. Welcome to the water and thank you for your donation. : )

A note for all the first timers, the pick sheet is just a guideline, the website is the bible. So if I make a type-o, go with what's on the website unless I send out a correction.

A reminder, the Thursday and Friday game(s) are optional to play and ALL picks must be done before kickoff of the game(s). Some people like to do all their picks at once, and some like to wait until Sunday. What ever suits your fancy, just get them done before they lock so you don't get zero points for that game. No excuses for sleeping in or the dog eating your pick sheet.lol

OK, first game is Thursday night Dallas @ PHILADELPHIA. If you're playing that game, get your pick in before kickoff. And a reminder there is a Friday night game again this year, Kansas City @ the CHARGERS.

If you're still on this email but have not replied, please let me know if you're out, or IN with the IN crowd.

EVERYONE PLEASE LOG IN TO MAKE SURE YOURS IS WORKING.

Any questions, send me an email, text or message by carrier pigeon.

Once again, 2nd place luck to all of you this season.

Larry E
