First things first, I must apologize to everyone for the hurried and abbreviated column this week. Simply put, I had way too much fun in Cleveland the past couple of days. Look for a post in the middle of the week about the Indians and the rest of the MLB Playoffs. Also, I apologize to those who were looking for me this past weekend in Athens. The plan was to come down after Friday's Game Two @ Jacobs Field. Didn't quite make it down to Ohio U. To be perfectly honest I didn't feel like driving all the way back to Tiffin (which I did due to Grothaus riding along with me) and then waking up Saturday to drive all the way to Athens. On top of that, Grothaus and I decided to stay in Cleveland a bit longer Friday night to celebrate what was the best sporting event we both had ever seen. So, apologies for my absence from Athens and for this short post. On to the picks.
I also have to apologize for those who made comments this week. Sorry for not including them in this post. Not gonna lie, it's noon, and I want to get this done before the games start. Kudos to Bart and Sara last week for having the only pair of winning records. They both went 8-6 which gives Sara the overall lead by one game and brings Bart out of the cellar. The tiebreaker question this week for Bart and Sara was "How many incomplete passes will Tom Brady throw this week?" The person who guessed the closest, without going over (Price Is Right style) would be declared the week four winner (means absolutely nothing). Note, in the case that they both go over, whoever was the closest originally would win. Sara said five while Bart went with nine. Best of luck.
