Alrighty then,

THE Weekly Football Pool is a wrap for 2020. With everything that has gone on this season, and continues to impede life in these United States, as The Grateful Dead once sang, What a Long Strange Trip it's Been!

This year only four people picked both games correctly. Last year we had twenty people get them both right. A lot of action was riding on Green Bay as a favorite and Buffalo as an underdog this year.

Total points scored were 119, 3 more than last year, 13 more than the the O/U line.

So.............Taking 1st place with the closest tie breaker of 102 was Todd S. His last first place was the WCP week of season 2018, so he can rest easy now, the drought is over.lol 2nd place was a tie at 97 between Sam K who has had a good year, and Larry A who waited till the last week to get on the board. Just a point off with 96 and taking 4th was Roger G, his first mention of the year also. The consolation prize goes to everybody who scored 10 points, too many to mention. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

Drum roll please............................

With the most total overall points of 603, and crowned the Champion of THE Weekly Football Pool 2020 is Mike M!

He was in the top group most of the year and after taking over the top spot in week 17, didn't let up and rode 1st place to the finish. This is his second time in three years winning the title as he was also our Champion in the 2018 season.

Taking 2nd place is Cris E who put up a good fight till the end but couldn't quite close that gap. 3rd goes to AdriaNNa who had the top spot for eight weeks in a row but slipped a little in the last few weeks.

4th place is a tie between Sam K and Timmy from Las Vegas who were both in and out the top group all season. This years honorable mention goes to Steve F, who was right there most of the way.

AND, for the first time ever, we are awarding a ca$hi$h boobie prize to the person who took last place. And in the inaugural year of the award, that honor goes to Chon D. CONGRATS AGAIN TO ALL THE 2020 WINNERS!!!!!

I hope everyone had a good time. Let's hope things are closer to normal in 2021 and we can all enjoy football without politics and egos mucking things up for us. Good to job everyone for getting yours picks in and making it easy on the Commish. And as always, a YUGE thanks to my son Steven for maintaining the website and keeping things running.

Enjoy the big game in two weeks. I will be doing a side pool for the Stuper Bowl like we did a few years ago. A seperate email will be sent out for that.

And I predict again this year, the red team will win the Big Game.

Everyone take care and be safe,

Larry E.

DON'T FORGET TO SEND ME YOUR TIE BREAKER

Okay then, nineteen weeks on the books and one to go. This year just like last year, week we had four people go 4 for 4, JakeFSF, Kevin T, Randi and Rick, all with 34 of course. Total points was 159, down 51 from 2020.

The closest to 159 and taking 1st place with his tie breaker of 174 was Rick. Not his first time cashing this year but his first 1st place. Taking 2nd and adding more to her coffers for this season was Randi with a TB of 207. In 3rd by three points was Jake FSF at 210. And two points off was Kevin T with 212. That's two weeks in a row in 4th for him. Five people end up with 27 but only one can get honorable mention and that goes to Jozlyn with her TB of 180. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

For the overall points race and to be crowned TWFP Champ for 2020, the top three stays the same. Mike M maintains his lead and goes into the final week in 1st. Cris has closed the gap and remains in 2nd. AdriaNNna keeps a grip on 3rd, but has a challenge from her other half Steve F who moves up into the top group in 4th.

One of the top four is going to be the Champ, and with only 19 points in play, only Rick, Sam K and Timmy FLV still have a chance to finish in the top group. For the rest of us, it's one last chance to win cashish for this season and better luck next year. It will be fun to watch as usual.

The pick sheet will be out on Friday. There's only two games to play this week for 10 and 9 points, both on Sunday. By now everyone has the hang of emailing or texting your tiebreaker.

All I can say for the Aint's is they ain't there again.
