Week 2 Wrap - The Karma Gods hate me

I believe in Karma.  I do.  I think if you put enough positive energy into the world the world smiles on you.  I put a ton of work (energy) into this pool.  I know it seems easy, but chasing down people for money, trying to get enough people so I can implement the Kastin rule.  Doing the spreadsheets and making sure everyone has fun.

So, why am I telling you this?  Because I look forward to trying to write a nice article for you and then Karma kicks me in the "fellas".

I put the scores in this morning.  When I looked at the players tab I saw Pop DeVasto with 111.  I was ecstatic.  I thought, "Pop is awesome, good for him."  Then I wondered, why isn't his score highlighted as highest of the week?  Then I looked at Tejas Desai?  Did he have Tampa who put up 48?  (No he had Arizona who put up 24).  So who won....then hit it me.  Oh crap....really?

Yes, we have our first back-to-back winner.  It is me.  I'm sorry.  Tampa (48), Cleveland (31), and KC (35) gave me 114 just edging out Pop's 111.

I am making an executive decision.  I can not win another week.  If I win any week from here on, I am forfeiting to the second place person.  I want to make it more equal for everyone else.  I also know that the comments are coming.

Have a nice week.  I have to prepare for a talk on achieving your strategy in business at 10 AM.  If you want to attend/mock me: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6846115101506887680/

The Top 3:

1) Yours truly
2) Pop Devasto
3) Joe Colletti

Last Place (The Harry Mumma prize): Jim Slobodjian

    “Let’s do a football pool”, they said.

    “It will be fun”, they said

PFE 2023 - Update as of 8/25

  Well, it is only 2 weeks (less than that even) until the Wonderful World of NFL Football returns.  I would like to say hello to everyone from PFE's southern HQ (we are on vacation).  We have 34 participants so far and some new people.  We also have some odd number combinations.  Yours truly has gone the El Diablo route of 6, 6, 6.  We also have Adam Kastin lurking like a great white under the waves waiting to strike at the perfect numbers that are available (yes we watched Jaws this week).  Kathy Khan (nee Garstka) went old school and delegated the number selection process to family.  Bowen Knarr used ChatGPT and submitted 33 as a number....so it is just a matter of time before Cyberdyne Corporation's SkyNet unleashes the T-5000's on us.  (Please tell me you watched The Terminator!)   Anyway, here are the participants to date and number selections.  If you do not see your name please let me know if you would like to participate....
