A new Leaderboard is up, but the old leader remains. However, thanks to a one-point win by me in Week 9, the old leader is tugging at his collar.
In other Leaderboard news, a correction was made to the Week 9 total. A certain commenter – someone who must have been a hall monitor at some point in his/her life – has decided to kick our lowliest competitor while she’s down. As it turns out, the existing “all home teams as default” rule contains a “…and the Pats no matter where they are” caveat. In that case, Texty McGossip has been docked a point. As if she weren’t lowly enough already.
This week’s picks are in and they must be submitted by Thursday night at 8:15. Get used to the early deadline, there will be a game every Thursday from now until Week 17. But don’t worry, the picks for the rest of the week won’t lock until Sunday afternoon. So if you want to resubmit your picks after Thursday’s game, you can do that. For example, if you don’t know the status of Ben “Too Cool for Motorcycle Helmets” Roethlisberger until Friday, you can switch your pick and I’ll take your most recent entry. Fortunately, all your entries are time-stamped so Tom Foolery will be impossible.
In miscellaneous news, another commenter has made a suggestion that I have ignored. However, if any of you feel as strongly about the subject as that person does, I can address this non-issue.
McManus Picks 
Two things:
1) Thank you for changing the correct picks to a more welcoming color.
2) At the top of the homepage it says “No picking home teams” so why was Matt even considered for the home team on Thursday night when he did not submit his pick on time. I know he got it wrong, but in order to effectively eliminate this cop-out move to pick home teams, let’s just try and avoid mentioning it at all. Too harsh?
