Another bleak week - we can only hope other teams were in similar pickles.

Oh, no, Scooter! I'm so sorry for your loss! You and your family have my deepest condolences. Please concentrate on yourself - the mourning of your dad is a gazillion times more important than this game (as you know).

Once again, I'm so sorry Scooter. I know he was fighting for his health for a while but he was such a strong guy and he obviously loved life.

Jimmer, I'm thrilled for you - first place! - that's great! I'm reminded of that song from "Flashdance" - what a feeling! (or something like that). And 2nd place was nice for TQ - yay!!

That's so funny. I saw your post before looking at the results (which I usually read from the bottom to the top  ) and I was thinking .... what?!?!?
Now we've just got to keep it going.

LOL no worries there, Scooter. Football pool aside, how have you been feeling? I hope things are going better.

I still miss my Dad so much even many years later so I have an idea of what you are feeling.

I totally lucked out -- but thank you for the nice note!
Apologies not allowed, Scooter! I think it's okay to treat this year as a "bye" year, i.e., sort of like a "bye" week in the NFL. Next year will be better!
It's heartwarming to know you both had positive relationships with your fathers. I missed out on having a dad (I have no regrets about that, trust me), but if I had, I would hope that my memories of him would have been as nice as yours are of your dads.

I think my Dad was the best man I've ever known. I also had several wonderful Uncles as well. I've been very fortunate in that respect.
Speaking of Uncles, I can't recall if you've ever mentioned if there is any story behind your name?

If I have, I'm sure I don't remember!
Many years ago (1990s), I worked for three lawyers (at an insurance company). One of them was named Walter. A colleague of mine always referred to him as Uncle Walter and she always called me Ricky Ricardo (a nickname I’ve loathed since childhood). Anyway, I kept complaining to her to stop calling me R.R. and she finally relented and said "I'm just going to call you Uncle Ricky because you're as much a pain in the a$$ as Uncle Walter is." From that point on, I'd go around saying things like, "You should listen to what your Uncle Ricky says, because he knows best." The name took on its literal meaning when my husband's three brothers began to reproduce at the turn of the century. We now have 8 nieces and nephews and, of course, not a single one of them calls me Uncle Ricky!

That's a great story. As with many of your posts, I was smiling as I read it!

Your picks look fine Scooter. Now just concentrate on resting and getting all better and having a great 2017! You just reminded me that I have to go make my picks. 😜
