Oh, this is getting good.
Like that point of the movie where you know something’s about to happen, you reach down into your bucket of popcorn, your date’s arm clenched around yours and… BAM!!! The climax!!!
We’re not quite there yet, my friends, but this is getting juicy.
And before we get to the increasing tightness of this week’s standings, let’s get a few things straight. This is not a charity case and most certainly not a contest where everyone gets a trophy for participating. To the victor go my spoils. So no, you cannot message me mid-week and ask me to change your ill-advised picks.
Once your picks are in, they are in for everyone to see. I’m not the customer service department of your local Wal-Mart allowing you fourteen days for returns. There’s $100 of my money on the line and a bunch of dedicated readers battling for it so in the words of a moonstruck Cher, snap out of it!
To the standings we go! One quick look and you will all finally believe me when I tell you this hundo is still fair game for anyone… except Milhouse.
Good luck, everyone!
