The 2005 Football Pool

as told by the Commish

Week 12



Week 13 saw the Texas Transplants, David Glickler rise to football pool supremacy with a league best 13-2-1 week. David clinched victory with the Colts extremely impressive trouncing of the Steelers on Monday Night. Glickler's first victory of the season placed him 10 games back of our steady leader in a very up and down season for the Transplants. David, congratulations!

Many teams stepped up to the plate this week

Mr. Furious, Armen Varjbedean 12-3-1 - The hammer managed to gain a game on our leader this week

Jason Weinstein, Jason Weinstein 11-4-1 - Clutch week by Weinstein where an off-week would have set him back significantly

Karl Knechtel, Karl Knechtel 11-4-1 - Karl has hit his stride and sits only one game behind the great Weinsteini

Major Deeghan, Kathy Toomey 11-4-1 - I-87 stepped up in a tough week and maintained two games back of the leader.

CrazyDitka, Phil Rosengren 11-4-1 - Ditka.. Ditka.. Bears... Bears... Ditka trails by five

CollieCanseco, Colin Greene 11-4-1 - Also tied with Ditka with 90 wins - five wins behind the leader

Ramjets, Donald Duryea 11-4-1 - Happy Birthday to Mr. Duryea as he ties the Commish and his pop for a share of 7th place.

Real and Spectacular, Brian Joseph Chabarek 11-4-1 - Chabarek was remotely tolerable for the first time this season. He was the guy at the Jets-Saints game with a J on his chest and bag over his head.





Texas Transplants, David Glickler 13-2-1 Moose Haas/Double or Nothing 0-15-1

State of the Pool

Brilliant week in the pool - 55% - by and large the best week of the season. We are up to 48% on the season, still 321 games under the Ramiro Mendoza line

Overall Leaders

The cream continued to rise to the top this week. I mentioned our top 3 already, in Weinstein, Krazy Karl and Major Deegan. Advantage Burns, Steve Yamarik, is in 4th place, four games behind the leader. Tied for 5th is the aforementioned Collie Canseco, Crazy Ditka and Michael Casserly

The Basement

Moose Haas takes over the basement with her no-show this week. Double or nothing is only two games back.

Good luck in week 13!
