37Lionel Teed11/26/2024 9:03:14 AMWell, my guess was totally wrong last week! At least I have good company! Thanks Matt for being best at worst! Unlike your Lions. Mr. Moses prose is once again missing. Mr. Muniz won by a good length of time. Mr. Hawkins was in top 10 two weeks in a row! And both times was the only one with comments in that illustrious group! I am once again quite late to the party as I was down by Detroit helping a friend move to his new home. This happens when you have a pickup and a trailer! I was though, on the CAN side

40Matt Kiriazis11/30/2024 10:02:06 PMIf I made the correct guess, I could have been somebody, I could have been a contender, but I am just a bum. Dan Hawkins was the only commentator with a correct guess. Terri Graff and Lionel Teed joined me with comments while making wrong guesses. However the Lions continue to fulfill their destiny and elevated their record to 11-1 by defeating Dan’s Colts and Da Bears on Thanksgiving Day. Now they’ll rest and heal until 12/5/24 when they host their NFC North nemesis, the Packers. Forward to a Lions VICTORY
41Dan Hawkins12/1/2024 8:30:47 AMMy glorious winning streak of 1 at an end, reality rears its ugly head, and I find myself searching for hope on the opposite side of the spectrum. What little hope remains lies in my attempt to be the last correct answer of the week If only I could utilize more cliches. In any case, it appears that my alma mater’s football program has experienced a similar rags to riches trajectory. Certainly we can all cheer for my Indiana Hoosiers in the upcoming CFP? 🎼 “For the glory of old IU.”🎶🎶
