Football: Beat the LoCo Experts - Playoff Week 3 - Michael of Ashburn Takes One Game Lead!

(Dec. 3, 2010) - Our contest is down to the final two weeks of the season with Michael of Ashburn going 2-0 last week to take over first place by himself in the race for $100 (holiday spending money!). Plankster of Ashburn can climb back in it with two games to pick this week!

On the Experts side, they were mostly LoCo for Broad Run last week and that cost them as Carl Lukat of the LTM pulled into second by himself, one game behind VivaLoudoun editor Dan Sousa who has vowed: "I will win this contest .. heck I run the contest so I can fix it so that I win ... if I don't win this contest ... that would be about as crazy as Qatar getting the 2022 World Cup ... what?!?"

So play on ... it is state semifinal time and this week you have to pick the final scores for both games! Good luck!

Last week we had 4 lucky winners ... as 4 players came within 4 points of the tiebreaker in the BWoods 24-21 win over BR. Jay of Ashburn, Justin of Harrisonburg, ValleyVikes2011 of Lovettesville and WeaselVT of Brambleton ... all get the cool Viva T-shirts ... envy of your neighborhood for sure!

The fine print: Now that the Leesburg Police is following me on Twitter ... I feel like I should text slower ... My wife says the clothes in my closet are "coming back in style" ... I believe this is not a compliment ... the hardwood floor guys busted a lamp in our living room but claimed "it just fell over by itself" ... which is the same excuse I used in 1974 in a tragic marble meets antique vase accident ... I was grounded until 18 ... In the Portuguese language, the word for "foot" also means "bloody monkeys" ... I felt good running my first 5K until midrace when I was passed by a 6-year-old girl wearing a Dora the Explorer hoodie ... I did catch up to her after yelling that "Boots" had just been hit by a car back on Claiborne Parkway ... Falcon fans do know that there really is no downtown Brambleton ... If the WashPost reporters do the same thing each week could it be called a "Post Pattern" ... Mickey Thompson last called for his team to punt in 1997 ... look it up ... If I had a Time Machine I would go back in Time and make this Fine Print a little bit shorter ... But I don't have one ...
