I decided to do the awards post later in the week because I won't be able to update the blog until Monday. That's because Jen and I will be in Buffalo, watching the Jets and Bills play. For free. Which is good, because both teams are bad enough for me to be unwilling to watch them play.
Before I get to the standings, I want to inform you of my Hate List, which consists of the teams that have screwed me over pretty hard this year. The list includes: the Saints, the Rams, and the Broncos. Congratulations. You suck.
Standings after Week 3
1. Scott (34 points)- Scott's Monday night magic strikes again, providing him a cushion between him and his nieces.
2. Dave (33)- Dave leaps over a number of eople and takes the 2 spot all by himself.
3(T). Steph, Jen, Gram and John (31)- A 4-way tie for third. Gram's success has me thinking conspiracy theory (re: I'm jealous).
7. Ryan (29)- I almost forgot Ryan because of his two accounts, but I shouldn't. He's doing pretty well so far.
8. Matt (28)- I should get drunk and pick more often. I should also pick New Orleans less often. Luckily, they have a bye week.
9. Holly (27)- I was nice to Holly, and beatt her by a point. So I want everyone to know that she's my favorite non-blood relative. That should do it.
10. Heather (25)- Heather had a very nice week, and got herself out of the basement. Someone should wake her up and tell her that.
11. Nancy and Janie (23)- They took a lot of chances, and most didn't come through. No guts, no glory.
12. Bill (22)- At least the Giants won.
Week 3 Awards
The Tom Petty "Free Fallin' " Award: This week's winners are Nancy and Janie, putting them perilously close to the freezer of doom.
The "Holly Shot" Award: Dave had the most points this week, and jumped into 2nd place. Excellent work.
Best Pick of the Week: I'd give it to Bill for picking the Giants, but he was bound by law (his own) to do so. No guts there, so it goes to Holly for picking the Jags over the Broncos.
Team We Should Hate the Most: The Washington Redskins, both for their offensive name and for gacking up a big lead to the Giants. We should hate the Broncos too. And the Raiders, out of principle alone.
Best Quote of the Week: Lackluster stuff this week, so no one wins.
I expect better. Use this post to add in your comments throughout the whole weekend of games, and I'll see you again Tuesday morning (provided no one else has an epileptic seizure in my building. My 4th floor shakes more than the San Andreas fault).

I totally call shenanigans and definite collusion. There is no way that Gram is making her own picks. No sour grapes here, I speak the truth. So, I've decided to put the greatest detective and master of deduction on the case. Sherlock Jane is on the case and will get Grammie to crack. The proof is in the pudding though, with Gram at the beach no way she'll be able to make her picks next week.
PS - If I'm wrong, I'm on UpWords duty at Thanksgiving.
Good lord! I have GOT to come up with a better system for making my picks. I got my nuts sanded yesterday.
Finally making a post... if only to prevent mocking later on (or, who am I kidding, at least to post-pone the inevitable).
After my lack-luster picks the past few weeks, Aunt Holly's system is looking better & better!
Personally, I think that "tobysgirl" is a nom de plume for one of my uncles - come clean, you know you're just dying to spill the beans!!!
It ain't me, Steph - I promise!!
Where the hell is Matt with the update, for crying out loud????
Holy hell - here it is Friday already!!!! Asleep at the switch?
Has our Commissioner thrown in the towel??
