A WHOLE LOTTA PARITY Week 9 was the closest and most competitive week in the Weinkopf.com Football Pool to date. Only two wins separate first from worst, and everybody scored above 7. Impressive. Most impressive. As usual, it was Dave "Lakewood Lancers" Coher on top with 9 wins, boosting his lead over #2 Hoboken Cris by 1. Then there were four stellar performances of 8 picks -- Cris, VivaLas49ers Jason, Least Likely to Win, and yours truly. Everyone else scored 7. That includes Steel Doormat Benny, who, if this were a Major League Baseball team, would be a definite target for contraction. (Picking Buffalo over the Pats? He deserves to go the way of those FrenchCanadian Expos. Zut alors!) Kepple was the only member of the group foolish enough to pick against the Brady Bunch (probably just to spite me) and it cost him dearly. The other renegade in the pack was Steel Man Joe, who bucked the group's otherwise unanimous picks of Philadelphia over Minnesota (for which he looks like a fool) and Oakland over Seattle (for which he looks like a genius). He also made the odd choice of none of the above in the Carolina-St. Louis game. If for no other reason than his unconventional picking (and that he holds a very tenuous hold on third place) he takes this week's One to Watch honors. And so on to week 10 we go. Can you believe there's no line on Pats-Rams? Is that because they're waiting to hear about Drew? Man, if it stays that way it will be very hard to be loyal this week ...
