I’ll fix it on Monday. Sorry I think one of my minions thought being in 35th place with a 35-35 record was serendipitous.

I’m officially done like a pig on a spit, I gambled on the Riders game to close the gap…and lost.

Just in it for participation sake now.

I for one take solace that I started out 0-4 and somehow ended up upper-middle of the pack vs the experts (CFL Kristina Costabile 3rd at 41-26-2, 3DN Gasson 3rd w/ identical record, Hoskins 4th at 40-27-2).

I’m gonna add them into next year’s pool as honorary participants.

Playing out the cycle for dignity.

Amazing to think that the gap from 3rd place to 17th is only 3 wins.

Now just think how many of these games we lost because the underdogs won on a walk-off field goal. The standings might look completely different.

Either that or your envelope to Jon just didn’t contain as much as Maaax’s did. :smile:

@Maaax paid way more than the going rate for such matters.
It is his win at all costs drive that got him where he is.

Agreed. So many of these have gone down to the wire or been decided by a field goal or one late play or (at least once) a rouge.

Truth told…I took the envelope that @Maaax place for @Jon err, I mean “Mr Big” and all the other envelopes in and around the University parking lot nooks and crannies, man there’s a lot of bribery going on at the University of Manitoba at this time of year…I doubled my pension checks. I’m going back Friday.

Your generosity has helped +1 rank Squishy21, Hometown_Fan, and IllinoisGuy in the weekly. Thank you for your contribution.

Any chance that in Weeks 3, 6, and 8, Maaax was gifted a total of 6 extra wins?
