Some Week 14 notes:
- Matt stole the last can of Who Hash by claiming a victory marred by controversy. His picks came in considerably late but, due to his undeniable exuberance to see Santa Claus on Sunday and increased leniency from the Commissioner’s office this year, he got full credit.
- Matt’s win also vaulted him into first place, quite controversially. This was akin to the Grinch lying right to a toddler’s face.
- Amazingly, Joe and Matt were tied going into Week 14. But after losing all of the toss-up games and falling on his sword for the Giants, Joe is now seven points back.
- Stock up on Band-Aids now: Such volatility will undoubtedly lead to an uptick in nail-biting over the last three weeks. Matt’s clinging to a one-point lead, with three players less than five points back. But three fierce battles for bragging rights are still being fought:
- Ciara leads Kyle by one.
- Cait flipped a three-point deficit to Joe into a three-point lead.
- Erin’s nonchalant picking style is aiding her escape from the basement; She’s now tied with Colleen and just one point back of Marie.
It might be cold outside, but the McManus Picks competition is red hot. Pick goodly.
