Congrats to "Sonny Love III", he became the second player this season to win two weeks. Money goes to money. But give the man his due, he nailed 12 out of 16 games AND picked the tiebreaker score exactly. He also jumped 17 spots in the standings.
Elsewhere "The Dirty 712" jumped 10 spots into 5th place which is an accomplishment, the top 5 spots have stayed pretty much the same five players the past few weeks. Since week 3 "Bob W" has not been below 3rd place, "Clay Davis" has been in either 1st or 2nd place every week since week 7 and "Ghastly" has been in the top 8 all season. The season still has a long way to go but the time is NOW to make a move, I am speaking for myself and to my fellow players who are at or near .500, if you are within 10-12 games of 12th place you can still move into the money BUT you have to move up spots each week. There is no room for error, no more weeks dropping spots in the season standings. Come Tuesday you need to have a + under the "Change" column if you hope to move into the money spots.
Elsewhere, "tabacey" remains in last place by a solid 6 games, not sure how he is doing it, he has a 70-106 record, if he picked the exact opposite teams this season he would be in first place. "Richardson" did something you don't see very often this late in the season, he had a huge drop in the standings, 38 spots after a 3-13 week.
In the Survivor Pool 13 players had Cleveland a game that Carolina seemingly had won, they were lined up for the game winning 30 yard FG with seconds remained but channeled their inner Boise State and muffed the kick handing Cleveland a gift win and 13 players here another life. Fr the first time all season we did not lose a player in the Survivor pool this week. Only one player took a loss, "Gaveskills" got his first L with Oakland.
PSA ... there may not be a blog next week, I am in grad school and finals are next week so my time will be limited but if a player with a really fun, cool name wins I'll do my best to get something posted and of course if I win the week you known I'll post something. But if you don't hear from me next week I can be found at the Amherst, MA "Barnes and Noble" with my head buried in a book and I will make it up the follow week to all my faithful readers. 57 unique visitors to this blog this week so far and 89 unique visitors last week so thanks for reading my poor grammar garbage.
