THE SUPREME COURT STRIKES BACK & THE SURVIVOR POOL SURVIVES!

UPDATE: THE SURVIVOR POOL IS UP AND RUNNING If you want in send an email to FBpool12@gmail.com subject "Mfga". 

First chance at a one week pass- Total points of the Thursday night game AND and The Dolphins/Cheaters game. To be clear- Add the points you think KC and Texans will score AND add the total points you think the Fins and Cheaters will score and send it to us. Closest to the actual total (above or below) wins a free week pass. For example if you think the Texans beat KC 20-10 (30 total) and the Fins beat the Cheaters 20-2 (total 22) your pick would be 52. 

Second update: A tie survives. Repeat- a tie survives. If the Bills and the Jets tie 21-21 this weekend, anyone picking either team survives. 


Everyone wants to know our take on the Florida Supreme Court- Governor No Mask/ Judge Francis contretemps that is breaking this week. 

But first....something important: 

THE SURVIVOR POOL!

Survivor-  the term takes on a new meaning in 2020. Can you pick the right team every week while wearing a mask, staying out of crowds, and not getting sick and put on a ventilator? In a sense, if you're playing, you're surviving. 

How to play: Send an email to FBpool12@Gmail.com with the subject MFGA  (which as we all know means make football great again). Then it is simple- send us your pick before the game starts (Thursday or Sunday or Monday), one team only, every week, to win. No point spreads, just win. Browns beat the Chiefs? Sure you pick it and you are in it. If your team loses, you are out. If your team wins, you survive to play another week. Once you use a team, you cannot use them any more for the year. 

NFL Starts Thursday.  Are you ready for some football??

THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT granted a motion on the Judge/Justice Renatha Francis contretemps.  The Court allowed the current petition to be amended to seek the relief the court indicated it may have granted if only the petitioner had asked for it. 

The Court gave Governor DeSantis until Wednesday to put on a mask- to respond as to why the court should not order him to pick another person-perhaps a law student?- for the open spot on the court. As we all know, Judge Francis, supremely qualified and experienced, had one eeny weeny tinney problem- she had not been a member of the Bar for ten years, which the Florida Constitution, in its infinite wisdom, requires.  DEFUND THE BAR might well be the rallying cry for Governor No-Mask-No Virus-No Problem- (but just don't bury all the dead Floridians in my backyard). But until then, it looks like Judge Francis's spot on the court might be in jeopardy this go around.
