The Commissioner (...and others) Lead the Pack!

Well boys and girls, that’s how it’s done. After day 1, The Commissioner is on top. Yes, I know…there are others (Brandon the Beast, Morgan B, Tamieka G-low End, bone.graves, NC Big Ticket’s Dad, kgraves 766, Alice the Great, and Jernie) struggling to remain atop the leader board with me…but they’ll find their way out of the top ranking fairly soon. You can bet on it!

I am a bit surprised to see that Doris Smith0722, Big Tex and Easy E have already shown their true colors this early in the tournament. They usually hover around the top for the first weekend. What’s up?

There’s something to be said for “premature celebration.” (No…not the other thing. Keep your minds out of the gutter.) With regard to premature celebration…DON’T DO IT! Yesterday, I received a call from Jay G Big Shot. Since he was in first place he thought he needed to walk me through his thinking on how to fill out a bracket. Thanks Jay. Enjoy the view from 10th place. Momma Graves was another one who felt the need to contact the Commissioner. She’s usually a bottom feeder…she starts at the bottom and stays at the bottom for the entire tournament. Yesterday (day 1), mid-day, she was in the middle of the pack. From the smack she was talking, you would have thought she’d won the entire tournament. As Lee Corso would say… “Not so fast Momma Graves. Not so fast.” Keep doing what you do, and you’ll soon be back at home…with Jordan and Cam. Enjoy 18th place today. It won’t get any better. (NOTE - - Dt Graves 42 and NC Big Ticket 1 are currently tied with their Grandmother. What does that tell you? Enough said.)

Speaking of 18th place, hello Wisemen. First of all, are you representing more than one person? Will someone help him with a nickname next year…please? If you will recall, before the tournament began, Wisemen sent a note to us referring to the trophy and how it should be in Katy, Texas. I just took a look at your family…18th (you and Jodi), 24th (Corbin) and 27th (Cam) won’t get it done. Sorry. Thanks for playing. Now go sit in the corner.

Will Banks (…or should I say, Champion?) I see you’re in 24th. One of two things needs to happen. Either you need to make a dramatic comeback…OR you need to change your name. Put some thought into it and get back to me.

Traveling Diva and KDarnellAdams 2…I have no problem with you…yet. Just stay where you are and everything will be ok.

A quick shout out to the newbies: alexstower 1, shelbilaurenn1, Ali and KeenanDaGreat 27. Welcome to the pool. As you can see, you have to earn your keep around here. Step it up!

Day 2. Bring it!!

The Commissioner!

I'm just sitting in the cat bird seat waiting patiently. I'm here and ain't going anywhere.
