Late update... been behind all week... even missed picking the TNF game. But would have gone with Indy anyway... I mean who saw that Brockweiler showing up? Anyway... MaxJack's 11 wins the week on the wings of a an 8-game parlay buried in his morning picks. Eight is the longest string I can remember this season. At the top BrownieBeatdown woke up to post the week's only other double-digit total gaining three on our leader, UGOTB'd, and leaping over a couple fellow pursuers and into 3rd place just behind Endy. UGOT's lead shrank to eight... with three full weeks remaining plus playoffs. IT'S CRUNCH TIME... Meanwhile in the game with in the game... roach followed up his back-to-back, double-digit weeks with a different kind of "double-digit". In layman's terms... he dropped a duece. He dropped from T-9th to 17th letting 8 more players off the hook... at least temporarily.

Locked and loaded... It all hinges on the Cheribundi Tart Cherry Boca Raton Bowl...

FIFY...

lol... If this small of a "bracket" gives you pause, you are going to love our NCAA Basketball challenge. Yes, you have to lock in your Championship pick not knowing for sure that the matchup you see happening will in fact be the the matchup. The deadline is the same as the deadline for the entire effort. Not confident in predicting that outcome? Perhaps a confidence level adjustment is in order... just ask Mark for help.

Mark doesn't like Confidence Points because his coin only has two sides... It's the whole electoral college thing...

In...

Translation: interesting and really challenging.

Bowl mania... series of College Football "Bowl Games" that run through the holiday season. Confidence... rather than all picks being equal value, i.e., one win or loss each, you assign a value to each pick, e.g., say there are 16 bowl games, you rank them 1 thru 16 with 16 assigned to the game you are most confident about. If you have correctly picked a game, then you get all the points you have assigned that game. Profanity code... just think of it as a gumby-styled tirade... My name is Tour and I am here to help...

Something with which roach clearly agrees as he WINS THE WEEK! Elsewhere: UGOT holds serve and his 8-game lead over Endy, still a solo second. FJ stumbles to 3rd with his second consecutive 7 spot. Shawn follows up his league leading 12 with a solid 9 With his 3rd 10 in 4 weeks, Tour (that's me) moves into a tie for 5th with G-Man and Brownie Meltdown, who capsized is previously righted ship by posting a 4.

Metz = Mettwurst Hudy = Hedepohl... beer My name is Tour and I am here to help...

Whew... good to know since my data was going on 40 years old... and then visiting in-laws in Cinci I became more of a Metz guy... with a Hudy...

And the verdict is?

That's my homie... Beer steaming followed by grill/griddle?

Good Lord, man... you live in the land of ethnic communities. Get out more! Here's a lil haunt that once fortified The Smiling Dog Saloon crowd on many a night. http://www.franksbratwurst.com/

Don't remember Pizza King, but brought back a memory of CiCi's on Ridge Road... pretty good stuff once upon a time.

Dunno... both Zombomo and Neromo have a certain flow to them...

Maybe, but have to applaud his putting an interesting benchmark out there...

Actually it's a lil' mo' dire than MarkO is relaying...

... and then came the cheeseburgers...

UGOT extends his lead by one game. ShawnM wins the week with 12 winners thus joining the fray for positions 2 thru 5. TGZ suddenly is concerned by the "Roach Rule".

In New Jersey...

Most of which were ID'd in our handy AAA "TripTik"...

True today, but back when the Big-O (which I'd completely forgotten was a thing) was rolling the Interstate system between Ohio and Florida was still under construction. Many large gaps through TN and GA complete with "speed traps".

As h informed and then proved to me last year (by bringing me some to Florida)... it's still sold at Circle K's... and it's every bit as good as you remember.

Lawson's I assume...
