Some Week 12 notes:
- Colleen and Uncle Ed were perfect through the one o’clock games, but their bids for perfection were undone by some questionable picks thereafter.
- It was a high-scoring week overall:
- Brady and Marie suffered hard-luck, last-place finishes despite posting double-digit scores.
- I, your fearless yet gracious leader, put up a 12 – tied for my second-best performance of the season – but still gave up ground to all of my closest challengers.
- Through Week 11, the highest score of the year was a 13. Seven players matched or bettered that in Week 12.
- Ciara topped everyone with a 14, setting a new season high for the league. This officially marks the culmination of the best comeback story in McManus Picks history. After 12 years of utter apathy, Ciara’s perfect participation to-date has put her picking prowess on full display, as she now sits just five off the overall lead. From the ashes, she has risen.
As we enter the fiercely competitive home stretch, however, her flight to the top won’t be without obstacle. Choose wisely.
