Alrighty then, here we go..........................................

The Week 1 pick sheet is attached, the spreads are set on the website and the games are ready for picking.

Let's all welcome back some experienced players, returning this year after a three year hiatus is Nancy E, and two guys who sat out last year Gary T and Nate.

And some new players donating to the cause this year are David K, Jay T and Jeremy L. Welcome to TWFP.

If you haven't done so yet, send your $125 love letter or Pay your Pal. Address and instructions are in the Rules on the front page of the website.

If you haven't tested your login and password, don't wait until game time please. It should be your first name and zip code. Email me if you need help.

We have 49 players right now and I'm hoping to get at least 50 with some last minute entries. I will figure out the payouts once we have a final number.

If you have anyone else that wants in, have them email me [email protected] and say who they are and that they are IN.

As always, we will allow new and returning players to get in up until week four. They must pay the full entry fee and will be given the league average points for the weeks they were not in.

For those not in this year and receiving this email, I will take you off the email list after Thursday.

Remember to Pick Em Good,

Larry E

Well....... we didn't have a perfect score like last year, but Week 1 finished with a bang thanks to the Raidas and Ravens!

Coming in 1st Place with a strong score of 48 was our 2019 Champion, Jozlyn! It was back an forth all night, but she prevailed in the end and is off to a good start for 2021. Taking 2nd with 44 was returning member Nancy E who email on Thursday, "I'm so happy to be back in"! Well now she has 75 more reason$ to be happy.

In 3rd place with 41 was new comer Jared M who looked like he was going to walk away with it early on, but was let down by the Ravens. 4th place went to Joe just one point off the pace at 40. And 5th goes to last years winner, Jake FSF with 38. Honorable mention goes to Rick at 32. CONGRATS TO ALL THE WINNERS!

So a heads up on the point spreads. As we all know, the commissioner is a food broker, not a bookie. So there might be some type-O's now and then such as the AZ vz TENN game. It didn't matter because the Cardinals won and covered the spread, so the outcome would have been the same.

The commissioner has decided to spread the wealth and pay out five spots for 2021. Here's the estimated amounts based on 58 entries. 125, 75, 50, 25 and 15 weekly and 500, 300, 200, 100 and 60 for the overall. If we get more entrants before week four, it will adjust accordingly. The first payouts will happen after week four when we know the final amount of players.

So just a reminder, that people can still get in the pool up to Week 4. If any veterans or new people want in, you know what to tell them, I'M IN!

The Week 2 pick sheet will be out on Wednesday.

Alrighty then, now that the 14 days to flatten the curve have passed, ahem, ............................... it's time for TWFP 2021!

THE season starts one week from tonight, Thursday September 9th with the Dallas Cowhands at the Tom Brady Buccaneers.

The website is ready to go. The Week 1 games are listed, but there's no spreads yet. I will set them on Tuesday morning. Who knows what might change between now and then with the games, so it's probably best to wait.

Everyone should try to log on. theweeklyfootballpool.com Your login and password are: your name and zip code. If you have any trouble, let me know and I will reset it.
If you haven't done so yet and want to stay in the pool, or a prior player and want to get back in, send me an email saying I'M IN.

If you have any new people that want to get in, forward this email to them and tell them to send an email to [email protected] saying who they are and that they want IN!

If you are undecided and change your mind, you can still join up until Week 4. See the rules for details. I will take your name off the email list once the season starts.

Attached are the Pool Memo and Rules. As I said, try to login and make sure you are all set.

Till Tuesday,

The Commish

Hey Football Gang,

Getting this out late this year, but not as late as year. It looks like there is going to be a football season again, so we will have a football pool too.

THE website is not up and running yet so please wait until I give the all clear to test your log in, etc. Should be by this coming weekend.

THE Weekly Football Pool starts THREE weeks from Thursday on Sept 9th, with the Dallas Cowpokes @ the Super Bowl Champ Tom Brady Buccaneers.

As always, If you are staying in the pool this year, send me a reply saying "I'M IN!"

If you have any prospects that want to get in, forward this email to them and tell them to send an email to [email protected] saying who they are and that they are IN like Flint!

I've included the people who sat out last year on this email, just in case they have some stimulus money left over that they want to donate.

Once again this year, we will be using Pay Pal for those who want to pay their entry fee electronically. I still accept checks, cash or money order. USD lol

Attached are the Pool Memo and Rules. As I said, the website is not set up yet so wait till I give the all clear before trying to log on.

So if you are IN, send me a reply saying I'M IN.

Larry E.
