First week's 'dog results are in the books
The Raiders beat the Broncos tonight, in an unusually late Monday night finale, earning 3 points for our newcomer player Weavmo. That leaves the standings in our charity pro football underdog game as follows:
jmh - 6.5
John Ch. - 6.5
john dull - 5.5
Larry Legend - 5.5
Eric W. - 5.5
Weavmo - 3
Everybody else (27 players) - 0
Prospective 'dog pickers can check in tomorrow for another intriguing slate of pro pigskin matchups. As you can see, there's still plenty of time for players to join us and be right in the thick of things. All proceeds will go to charity, but the glory will go to our winners.
We're on track to have as many players as we did last year, which means that the top five finishers will get to designate charities to receive our donations.
Here are a couple of important notes for those players who haven't sent in their entries yet:
(1) If you scored points this past week and haven't paid your entry donation yet, I need your payment by the end of the day Wednesday, or else your first week points won't count. I'll accept a postmark by Wednesday.
(2) If you haven't paid yet and you want your pick to count this coming weekend, I need to receive your entry donation no later than Saturday's mail. On this rule, I'll demand actual receipt by Saturday.
