All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
A looooong NFL week, but congratulations to our Week 15 winners SkippyD023, Johnny007, and Lurker, coming in at a persistent 12-4.

Sorry Skippy and Gretchen...I'm doing my best to recover to make this a 3-person race after weeks of 60 and 80 points. I had what I thought was a fantastic chance last week, but the Chargers coach overdosed on analytics and the Browns stopped tackling on the final drive...so I lost 2 and you won 2. A 14-2 week would have made things manageable for me. Not ready to panic yet! Good luck to everyone in the last 3 weeks!

Congratulations to our Week 16 winners Lurker and Spencer coming in at a tough 13-3.
Two weeks to go - the race to first and last place is heating up!

Yeah. That race to last is a bit funny.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Wow! congratulations to the week 17 winners Spencer and Garrell with 14 wins!!!

We've got a healthy contest in the 3rd place area (not to say 1st and 2nd are out of reach for anyone). As a reminder - if there is a need to invoke a tiebreaker, the following rules apply:
● Tiebreaker #1 - Higher number of points scored for Week 18
● Tiebreaker #2 - Higher number of points scored for Week 17
● Tiebreaker #3 - Higher number of points scored for Week 16
● Tiebreaker #4 - Higher number of points scored for Week 15
● Tiebreaker #5 - Higher number of points scored for Week 14
The same rules - starting with Lowest number of points - apply for the "most coveted" Last Place trophy.

Thanks Bill! Congrats to everyone and see ya next year!
Looking for FAB8 CD Number 439
Press Release 1/10/2022:
After a disappointing 9th place finish in this year's football pick contest; TheDarkTower.Org has fired General Manager, Head Coach and Laundryman Jerome Smith.
Despite numerous winning records, and several championships, the owner has fired himself. In a quote obtained by an anonymous source, Smith stated "Championships, and nothing less are the standard we have".
A search is now ongoing for a replacement.
P.S. For the winners - I will solicit mailing addresses, but will wait until we get the trophies ordered. I tend to procrastinate and people move six times.

I still can't believe I actually placed this year - how exciting! Bill, you rock this every year and we thank you!!
This collecting stuff is a sickness! ~Patrick
Yes, many thanks, Bill for all you do with these tournaments. You're a gentleman and a scholar.
One word sums up my performance this year.............................................. ..SAD!!!

Thanks to everyone and special thanks to BoR and Bill of the Pacific Northwest.
Bill of the Southwest; are we doing a playoff's contest like last season?
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Thanks, Bill, for running this entertaining contest year after year!
Congratulations to SkippyD023 for his year-long consistency resulting in 1st place. Also, kudos to gsvec and Spencer for their top-3 finishes! And east-tennessee, somebody's got to be last. You are worthy!
Lastly, I see that Black Monday caught up with TheDarkTower.org. So sad. Perhaps Merlin1958 will put his NY hat in the ring for this prestigious vacancy.
Thanks to all for another fun year!
John
Always a pleasure. Regardless of whether we win a trophy (which is RARE), or not that process is always the icing on the cake. We can't thank you all enough for your years (15 or more?) of support!

Gretchen gave me hope!!
Good job lady. !!!
