FOOTBALL 2023

 Good Sunday Morning.  Time to stop chatting about indictments of former presidents and answer this question: Are you ready for some Football, REGJB style? 

August sees the hallowed halls of our old gray lady, the REGJB, filled with gaggles of young lawyers in new suits wandering around, looking a bit overwhelmed as they start their new jobs as Assistant Public Defenders and Prosecutors. "Where's the nearest Starbucks?"; "Can I Doordash a chicken Caesar wrap to my office?";  "What exactly is Williams Rule evidence or a Richardson hearing?"; and "What is this I hear about the Blog and football?". 

Relax, in six months you will be complaining about your Judge showing up twenty minutes late every morning, and confidently announcing ready for trial as you Snapchat "OMG did you hear what Judge X said to the defendant in her court this morning?"  

Here's what you need to know about the Blog and Football.  We have two contests:

First.... 

The earth shaking, heart stopping, body rockin, pants-droppin, lovemakin, viagra-takin, booty-shakin, history-makin, award-winnin, legendary ....E STREET BAND ....JUSTICE BUILDING SURVIVOR POOL!!!! 

The rules are deceptively simple. Look at the schedule for the week and pick one team to win. That's it. No spreads, no odds, just one winner. When your team wins, you move on to the next week. If your team loses, you're out like a lawyer with a conflict trying to represent a former president. 

It's harder than it looks.  The main rule is once you pick a team you cannot pick that team again for the rest of the year. And there are a few other wrinkles. First, you get one bye- a week where you do not have to pick a team. Use it wisely. Second, during the year we run contests for a second bye and we always start with the first game of the year, which this year is the World Champs KC Chiefs vs. the Detroit Lions on THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 7. Don't miss the first game and a chance to win a bye. 

You have to email your pick for the week before the game you want to pick starts. It's safest to email us on a Friday or Saturday. But if you want to pick the Sunday 8pm game and email us at 7:55, you're still in. 

EMAIL US AT FBPOOL12@GMAIL.COM- no other email is acceptable, including our regular email (are you reading this Mr. Markus?).  Send an initial email so we can add you to the player's list and the Subject Line of the Email should be "I don't have classified documents". 

For Game one- pick the combined score of the game and win a second bye- you have to hit it on the head. For example- if you think the Lions will win 20-10 then your pick is 30. 

Former Judges, current judges, and of course everyone's favourite player Fake Alex Michaels will all be playing this year, so send us an email and join the league. 

Have fun. 

THE JUSTICE BUILDING FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Another world famous and much talked about REGJB Blog event is our fantasy football league.  Don't be surprised if just before jury selection you see your opponent deep on her phone pondering whether to pick up the Miami Dolphin running back that Judge De La Over just dropped in favor of adding the rookie WR from the Bears. And so it goes in our FF league which is highly competitive and a whole lot of fun.

THE DRAFT IS SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 3 AT 5 PM. 

As long as we do not miss the draft, as we did last year, we cannot imagine not winning the championship following our patented draft strategy of kicker, QB, WR, RB in the first four rounds.
