2000 Football Pool Weekly Update

Week Four

And then there were 129.

"If I pick my nose I am sure of getting a winner!! This week: Chicago." --Rivas (RIP)

Man down. In fact, two men down. We have suffered the first two casualties of the 2000 Football Pool. It appears that picking from one's nose is NOT the best strategy to win the football pool.

"It's Mr. Rivas' birthday on 9/25. I see his selection this week is Chicago. Is there something in the bylaws that says you must pick the Bears on the week of your birthday? If so, thank God I was born in June." --Clark

It was a good week for the big favorites and a bad week for the little favorites. With Baltimore and Oakland coasting to easy victories, 109 people took an easy pass to Week Five. But six out of the other eight teams chosen this week took a loss. It's as if the bandwagon rolled right over those who ignored it. The total damage was 14 losses, two of them, of course, resulting in death. Besides Rivas, we also lost Dusty Huber, who last year made it through all 17 weeks of the regular season. Tough to come back and be the first one to go. Farewell to Rivas and Huber. We barely knew ye.

 "Do I get anything for going out first???" --Rivas

 No.

The standings...

00 LOSS -- 56 gold
01 LOSS -- 52 silver
02 LOSS -- 21 bronze
03 LOSS -- 2 tested positive for drug violations

Picks are due before Saturday morning at dawn. And this just in: No repeat picks allowed.
