One of my few wins today, actually. Worst. Week. Evah.

This week was a dizzying disaster for me too.

Hey, I'm outta here tonight: Greyhounding to spend 4 days with the family in Pittsburgh.  (Saxonburg and Valencia, to be precise; the latter of which is next to Mars, PA.)  Back Friday morning - so I want to wish you all safe travels and happy holidays, with my gratitude for another year of treasured friendship and companionship in the Clubhouse.  I'm really grateful for you all in my life.

Season's Greetings,
Gaz.

Ahhhh same to you. Safe travels.
This week bad for me too, hitting only 50%.

I'm grateful to all of you here for being here. Glad almost all of us are now on FB but this is more intimate. I hope 2009 is an improvement on 2008. My year has been less fortunate than any other year but I can't lose sight that I'm better off than so many others.

goddamn Niners. Do I (will I) ever learn? NO! Got bit in the arse again.

can they hang on?  one point lead!
Holy sheet! Niners win! I'm pleased and dumbfounded.

I didn't hear "the rest of the story" until this morning...  Singletary wanted to pull Shaun Hill from the game after the 3rd quarter, but Hill -- who is from Missouri and had many many relatives who had driven hours to see him play in St Louis -- basically told Singletary he wouldn't let the team down in front of his entire family.

Week didn't go so well for me but I bumped up in the overall pool. 7 people ahead of me now. Chicago pick tonight paid off. That was a fun game.

Current standings:

Alicat         160 (6 points out of first overall, in a tie for 8th overall)
Geoff Gould    159
PeterFinch     158
Irish Greg     154
Joe Mama       153
Flem59         152
Urthwerm       152
RGMikeSF       150
TinkaCat       132
Bobcat         101


So Ali and Geoff have locked up the top two positions here ... but who will get the bronze?

Wk 17

Urthwerm  PIT TEN  NE  CIN  TB  NYG  CHI  ATL  GB  CAR  WAS  ARI  PHI  NYJ  BAL  SD  43

Made my picks a couple days ago but was surprised that there were no pro games on Xmas Day. I thought they nearly always had at least one game on Chistmas--NFL is the national religion, no?
Let's get right to it.

Xmas has become "NBA Day" -- not sure who ABC paid off to make *that* happen, but it's the new tradition, apparently (there were no NHL games either).

NHL Sharks on the 23rd was a freaking treat! Helluva game. Lasted me thru the past few days. Stay tuned for the Blackhawks/Red Wings outdoor classic on New Years day. That's a fun one.

Just the opposite for me -- too little too late, obviously, but I've got 12 wins going into tonite; if SD wins it'll be my best week all year. Go figure.
