Week 9: Results

Week 9 came down to the Monday Night game. If Pittsburgh won, so did Bill Denton. Zack Klein tied his proverbial boat to the Denver Broncos. As you may know, the game was close into the third quarter, but then Pittsburgh turned it on and pulled away. That makes Bill Denton this week's Big Weiner! Bill, you win a goat eating a t-shirt that says "eat more goat". It's in the mail now, so I suggest you buy some straw.

We're starting to see some real stratification in the standings. First, the final standings for Week 9:

1. Bill Denton ... 10-3
2. Zack Klein ... 9-4
2. Dave Labowitz ... 9-4
2. Joey Bansen ... 9-4
5. John Weaver ... 8-5
5. Matthew Mariam ... 8-5
5. Gedeon Mariam ... 8-5
5. George Smith ... 8-5
9. Jon Stover ... 7-6
9. Dan Sinclair ... 7-6
9. Josh Money ... 7-6
12. Matthew Kory ... 6-7
12. Adam Roy ... 6-7
14. Alex Mena ... 5-8
14. Sandy Kory ... 5-8
14. Karl Vaillancourt ... 5-8

The Current Overall Standings (COS) are getting interesting. The top seven people are all within five games of each other. Gedeon has fallen off the pace a little bit but a few good weeks could put him right back up at the top. Dan Sinclair and Jon Stover are both within shouting distance and a few good weeks could move them up as well. John Weaver and Dave Labowitz have been hanging around at the top for a while. It's shaping up to be an interesting final 8 weeks.

1. Bill Denton ... 92-37
1. Joey Bansen ... 92-37
3. Dave Labowitz ... 90-39
3. John Weaver ... 90-39
5. Gedeon Mariam ... 89-40
6. Jon Stover ... 88-41

An important note: in its infinite wisdom, the NFL will now be playing games on Thursday nights pretty much from here on in. That means that you, the participants in this wonderful pool(poop!) must send in your picks, all of your picks, by that point. I'm sorry, I know many of you like to wait until the last minute to get your picks in, but as long as there are Thursday night games, the lat minute is going to be 8:19pm EST on Thursday.

I'll have the schedule for this week up momentarily... Have a good week, everyone.
