Better Nate than lever..................I'm still feeling the effects of a 7 days in New Orleans.

In Week 6 we had our first three-way tie of the season between Craig, and brothers Richard and Roger all with 44. It was a see saw battle on MNF, and it looked like Craig would have it all to himself. But the Chargers defense couldn't hold off Dallas and we ended up with the tie. And for 4th place just a point off from the winners, we had another tie between Efrain and Sister Joy with 43. Honorable mention went to Jared M who has been close to placing a few times.

In the over all points race, Joy took over the top spot by way of some good scores in 4 out of the 5 previous weeks. Jared M moved up to second. John dropped two spots out of the lead into third. Jared dropped one into fourth and Brian F went to fifth. Just off the pace was Julian.

Week 7 gave us another tie for 1st between Frank and Victor, both with 49, courtesy of the Commish making their picks for them. As per the "no player left behind" rule, they both get to keep their points, but no ca$hi$h will be transacted. 2nd place went to Jeremy with 39, 3rd to Steve F with 38, and putting a cherry on top of the week in N.O., Brother Leo took 4th with 36. 5th place went to Jake FSF with 33. Honorable mention went to Chon and Chris M.

In the overall race to be the champ of 2023, Joy stayed in the top spot for another week, but we had some changing of the guard in the other places with Victor moving into the top group in 2nd, Rick joining the pack in third. Jared M dropped two spots to fourth, and AdriaNa with one N took over fifth. Just off the pace after a six week run in the pack was Jared.

To be continued..................................

And just like that we are ¼ of the way through the season. Time flies when you're having fun.

This weeks winner can say he finally made it too! He had a good first year in 2021 when he ca$hed in four of the weeks, with a tie for first in Week 14. But last year he was shout out, so this has to feel like redemption.

Taking 1st place with a strong score of 47 is Neighbor Eric. We darn near had our first tie again, but the Raidas had other plans and weren't going to let the Packas get lucky like they did against da Saints last week. It was almost DeJa Vu when the ball hit the goal post. In 2nd place one point behind him is long time player Randi. She was also shut out last year, so it's gotta feel good to get back in the ca$hi$h for a change. 3rd place and just a point behind is John with 45. That's his second mention of the year and makes two weeks in a row that he's in the honey. 4th place went to Doodles with 43 and 5th to David K with 42, their first time placing this year. Honorable mention goes to James B, Jared L, Mike M and Rory, all just a point out at 41. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

Drum roll please........................In the overall points race, we have another lead change. Taking over the top spot by way of his two strong weeks, John takes over the top spot! Sister Joy moves up one to grab second from Brian F, who drops down one into third with Jared and Jared M respectfully. Just off the pace is last weeks leader Rick.

Okay, this week we have another Bloody Mary/English bowl from London, where they have to sit and listen to a song about getting their butts kick 247 years ago before they will even start the game.lol Baltimore and Tennessee should be a real barn burner so be sure and get your pick in for that one.DOH!

The pick sheet will be out on Wednesday.

Alrighty then,

The Commish had a busy busy week. Sorry this is getting out way late, but props are due so here goes.

Our Week 4 winner finally hit pay dirt in his second year in the pool. He had a pretty good rookie season, cashing in three weeks last year, but now he can say he's made it! Taking 1st place and outlasting everybody was Ruben with 44 points. There were a lot of lead changes as I recall, and we almost had our first 50 sum tie, but it was his alone in the end. In 2nd place we did have a tie between Jared and Big John, both with 42. Rick took 3rd just one point behind them, and 5th was a tie between Craig and Kris one point out as well. Honorable mention went to Jim K and Scott B. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

In the overall points race, Rick moves up three places to take over 1st. Brain F remains in 2nd. And 3rd place is a three way tie with Jared moving up two spots from fifth, Jared M moving into the top group and Sister Joy dropping two out of the top slot. Just off the pace is Big T.

Okay, we had no one else get in at the last minute, so the pool is closed. All PayPal and Venmo payouts have been made through Week 4(I think?) All checks will be deposited today and check winners mailed out.

Good luck to everyone this week.
