SURVIVOR POOL 2023

 If you have not sent an email to Fbpool12@gmail.com  you should do so and register for the heart stoppin, world rockin, famous REGJB Survivor pool. 

The NFL Season starts this THURSDAY NIGHT with the Chiefs vs the Lions. 

A quick refresher of the rules. 

You must pick one game each week for one team to win. 

No spreads. Just one team to win. 

When you pick a team you cannot pick that team for the rest of the year. 

You get one bye week of your choice. When you play your bye week, you do not have to make a pick that week. 

So send an email and we will add you to the list. 

SPECIAL NFL SEASON OPENER. The Player(s) closest to the total for the Chiefs/Lions games wins a valuable second bye for the season. 

A total means the total points scored in the game. So if the Lions beat the Chiefs 25-3, the total is 28 (25 + 3...you lawyers help your judges understand this). 

To be eligible for the second bye contest, you MUST SEND YOUR PICK of the total before the Thursday night game. So again, for you judges who play, you can do the following: 

1) send an email asking to play AND choosing the total in the Thursday night game - which might look like this "Hi Rumpole. Sign me up for the Survivor Pool. My pick for the total Thursday night is 34" 

OR

2) "Hi Rumpole. I want to play the Survivor Pool. My Thursday night pick for the second bye is a total of 23 points scored AND my first pick for week on is the JETS over the Bills"

And here we go with the NFL 2023 season and yet another famous REGJB Survivor Pool. 

FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFT RESULTS 

We have a solid ten teams in our REGJB Fantasy Football league run by co-commissioner and Fantasy Football Fanatic Judge De La Over who donates his time mediating disputes amongst litigious fantasy football lawyers/players- a thankless job if there ever was one-and who- we kid you not- drafted a tight end named Chigoziem Okonkwo  

We had our draft Sunday, and we awoke today to an email from a Yahoo AI Bot MOCKING Rumpole and trashing our drafting strategy.  That's ok- it's why we play the game. Here is the email, but let us just say that George Pickens- the WR the Yahoo computer thinks we drafted way too early is going to lead the NFL in yards and be a top three in TDs and will go number one next year. He is the steal of the draft and is going to lead our team to greatness. 

And yes- our team's name is AUSA Jack Smith for obvious reasons. 

In the highly anticipated Justice Building 2023 draft, AUSA JACK SMITH had the honor of picking first. With a draft grade of C- and a projected finish of 6th, it seems like their dreams of fantasy glory may be a bit far-fetched. However, they did manage to make a few interesting moves. Their best pick was snagging Pat Freiermuth at 81, beating the ADP by 5 spots. On the other hand, their worst pick was reaching for George Pickens at 41, a whopping 52 spots ahead of their ADP. Talk about a gamble!

One thing that stands out about AUSA JACK SMITH's draft strategy is their affinity for a particular team. They managed to draft not one, not two, but three players from the same team: Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, and Brock Purdy. It's clear that they're putting all their eggs in one basket, hoping that this team's success will translate into fantasy points. However, with a projected record of 5-10-0 and a schedule difficulty ranked 6th toughest out of 10 teams, it looks like AUSA JACK SMITH may be in for a bumpy ride. Maybe they should consider changing their team name to 'AUSA JACK SMITH's Hail Marys'!

Laugh now Yahoo- let's see who is laughing at the end of the season (and yes, we are in an argument with an AI Bot).
