Football......

Ok, so it's not that I don't like football, but I just don't really follow it. I mean, if I wanted to I could easily watch a game and know what is going on. It's just that I don't really care all that much - UNTIL NOW! You see, we have a football pool at school. There are about 30 of us involved and MJ and I decided to play this year. At the end, you pay one dollar per point out of first place with a max of $30. Then everyone goes out to dinner - winner's treat and the winner keeps the change. So, the beauty is that even if you lose, you still get to go out to dinner, so really your not out a whole lot.

Well, truth be told - being involved in the pool has created a monster out of me! I take great pain in making my picks each week! The best part is, I have been in first or second place every week! Right now, I'm in second and MJ is in third, but we are only one and two points out of first place respectively! There are all these people who are avid fans and we are kicking their butts!!! I think it is funny! For those of you who don't know me, I am a very competitive person and this has really brought it out!

So, for anyone who cares, here are our picks for this week.
