f both drinking games and Super Bowls alike, Big Ben will have a chance to solidify his name amongst the greats. A Steeler victory could mean future simultaneous inductions to the NFL Hall of Fame and the downtown Milledgeville bathroom wall of shame (actually he already left his ‘mark’ there). On the flip side, Aaron Rodgers could even more quickly make Packer fans realize that Favre was actually taking notes from him over his last few years in Green Bay. Regardless of the story line, it looks like we’ll have a pretty good Super Bowl this year.
All beginning of the season Super Bowl pick points have been accounted for in the updated rankings and the 10 points many of us received for picking Green Bay was nice. A lot of people are kicking themselves for not taking this seriously and making any selection. Doug is like an inch (or more specifically 4 points) off Rob in the main pool thanks to GB. Although Bob has a sizable lead in the hot tub, an incorrect pick by him and a correct pick by Nancy or Bill Hytree would divert some cash elsewhere. I know this is obvious, but you have to look at this game as a potential 39 point swing so if you’re within 39 points of a money spot there’s a lot that can happen. If you’re not, you can still submit and be able say that you didn’t quit like a lot of… I guess I can’t say losers because we’re going to lose… quitters!
Picks are due before the start of the Super Bowl on 2/6. Good luck and hopefully it’s an exciting finale to a wild season!
