Clutch is to Dan ‘the Man’ Carpenter. I know the Giant’s giant blunder is a hot topic this week, but one that has received little attention (and is dear to me) is that Carpenter somehow managed to flub all four field goals he attempted which in turn helped eliminate any playoff dreams for the Dolphins (and my fantasy football team). The laces were out, Ray Finkle! C’mon Dan!!
Speaking of clutch, both Mike Smirch and Marty Engleman managed to shoot in the 70’s. This would be pretty solid if you were playing golf, but not so much in week 15 of our pool. Hopefully you guys can put some better numbers on the board next week… more so Mike, since Marty is in the Hot Tub.
Campbell played extremely conservative with his wager this week. I would have thought his quantitative intuition would have guided him in a better direction in knowing his competition. Since everyone wagered up on an easy Chicago pick, he dropped into 4th opening the door for MW, Rob, and Sampson.
Vince had the high score… the Hot Tub is Boyle-ing! Also worth noting is that I’m back on top (I know… not very surprising). For all those who send me comments like “I’m going to catch you.”, “I’m climbing the ladder.”, “Can you hear my footsteps in the winter breeze?” here are my responses in order: “You’re too slow.”, “You’re climbing in the wrong direction.”, “No, I have my ear muffs on.”
There is a Thursday and Saturday game this week. If you keep screwing up Thursday, you now also have the opportunity to screw up Saturday. This means if you don’t submit until Sunday it’s -16 + -15 (-31). Good luck this week and hope everyone has a happy holiday!
