The "H" in rlh stands for Harlan, if I remember correctly.

Dropping three weeks scores will make things interesting in December.

All I'm saying is TR isn't in......

The Fightin' Amish making the jump from 6th to 1st!!

Pgmado takes over the lead.

Now the standings are looking more like going by best score, as we've reached the "drop 3" portion of the standings. I suppose in some ways this helps to see how luck plays into picking the spread, and how some teams are starting to hit their strides, plus with bye weeks starting this week, we'll see scores that really affect what three scores continue to be dropped.

Congrats!  And please don't continue to let her help.

Maybe I should go with cities with foreign born conductors of their symphony.

Thanks!  She's pretty amazing!
