Week 8

Lonbull - 405
Squidkid - 395
Ghost - 370
Fordfixer - 340
Pfelix73 - 335
SteelerofDeville - 315
Ruthlessburgher - 300
MeetJoeGreene - 280
Flippy - 265
Starlifter - 260
NBC - 255
ESPN - 250

Passhappy - 225
Tomlinator - 200
Papillion - 195
Chadman - 120

10 MNF Execs picked the Packers v. Rams game.....and those 10 MNF Execs choose very wisely as it turned out to be the Highest Score of the Week with 50 points.

All of us who picked that game have to be VERY thankful to Todd Gurley -- up by two points Todd Gurley broke free for a 17 yard gain and could have "fought" for a Touchdown......which very likely would have erased 35 points from all of our MNF Exec. scores -- instead he allowed himself to be tackled on the 4 yard line and the Rams in turned took a Knee and won by 2 points.....Thank you Mr. Gurley.



The second high score (45) belonged to Fordfixer -- who had hoped to pick up major points in the Denver v. KC game which he had all to himself -- instead he was just able to keep pace.

Still HIGH-FIVE for picking a different game.



The suits from ESPN found themselves in the Goose Egg lounge this past weekend......and looking ahead they could be in for a two week stay......ESPN and MeetJoeGreene are the only Execs without a kickoff bonus.....one wonders, is the 2017 Champ having a Championship Hangover......is the Greene in MeetJoeGreene.....Philly Green?



Looking ahead only One Exec knows the fresh, crisp air of the 400 Club....that would be your leader and King Lonbull -- and he (along with three other Execs) will be picking up 15 points at kickoff.

However Pfelix73 and Tomlinator will be flexing the hardest by picking up 25 points come Sunday.

Meanwhile Squidkid looks to reclaim the Throne with the Sunday Night match-up of Packers v. Patriots.....



Good Luck this week - your leader is in RED

Week 9

LA Rams vs Saints – (+25) Pfelix73, Tomlinator

Steelers vs Ravens – (+15) Lonbull, Ghost, Fordfixer, Starlifter

Packers v. Patriots – (+10) Passhappy, Flippy, Papillion, Ruthlessburgher, Squidkid, SteelerofDeville, Chadman, NBC
Chargers @ Seahawks – (+10) Jooser

Tampa Bay vs. Carolina – MeetJoeGreene
Tennessee Titans at Dallas Cowboys - ESPN

[MeetJoeGreene]

So basically me and espn are the only ones starting without bonus points. I blame this on poor coaching. Not my execution

[Lonbull]

Week 9

Lonbull - 440
Squidkid - 405
Ghost - 405
Pfelix73 - 380
Fordfixer - 375
SteelerofDeville - 325
Ruthlessburgher - 310
MeetJoeGreene - 295
Starlifter - 295
Flippy - 275
NBC - 265
Jooser - 260
ESPN - 255
Tomlinator - 245
Passhappy - 235
Papillion - 205
Chadman - 130

Pfelix73 & Tomlinator racked up the Weekly High Score of 45 points with their Saints v. Rams showdown -- it was definitely the game of the week.



Pfelix73 is creeping up the boards and is currently sitting in 4th place -- still a LOT of football left to play this season - so maybe the 2012 Champion is looking for a return to greatness.

Looking ahead he has 25 points and the highest bonus going into Week 10 with the Panthers visiting our Pittsburgh Steelers --- that 25 point bonus at kickoff puts him in a tie for 2nd place!

Lonbull (yours truly) continues to hold a very modest lead -- over Ghost and Squidkid -- Ghost enjoyed a 35 point score this week to move into a tie with Squidkid.

Squidkid won't be able to pick up any points on the Leader this week - as he shares the Cowboys v. Eagles game with Lonbull (geez who knew both of these teams would be struggling enough to give us zero bonus points??

The only reason to watch this game might be the Eagles Cheerleaders.



Also looking ahead Papillion and Jooser also enjoy a 15 point bonus at kickoff --- a big game would certainly help get them both into contention.

11 MNF Execs are without a bonus going into Week 10 -- so the Goose Egg Lounge is likely stocking the bar......and from what I hear it's karaoke week this week.......and the Lounge is looking for singers.




Good Luck this week - your leader is in RED

Week 10

Panthers vs Steelers – (+25) Flippy, PFelix73, Ruthlessburgher, SteelerofDeville
Seahawks vs Rams – (+15) Papillion, Jooser

Cowboys v. Eagles – Lonbull, NBC, Squidkid
Chargers vs Raiders – Ghost, Fordfixer, Starlifter, Chadman

Bills v. Jets – Passhappy
Detroit at Chicago – Tomlinator
Jacksonville v. Indy – MeetJoeGreene
New York Giants at San Francisco 49ers - ESPN

[passhappy]

Bills v. Jets.....good grief

[Starlifter]

Bills v. Jets.....good grief

cry me a river. i thought chucky would be interested in making the raiders relevant. Instead I got a fire sale.......

[Jooser]

In a big blow-out game where say a team scores 52 points on another, do the managers that picked that game also lose their pre-game bonus points? Just askin'.

[pfelix73]

LOL... Hope not!

[Lonbull]

Week 10

Pfelix73 - 460
Lonbull - 455
Squidkid - 420
Ghost - 405
SteelerofDeville - 405
Ruthlessburgher - 390
Fordfixer - 375
Flippy - 355
MeetJoeGreene - 325
ESPN - 310
Jooser - 300
Starlifter - 295
NBC - 280
Tomlinator - 280
Papillion - 245
Passhappy - 235
Chadman - 130

PFelix73, Flippy, Ruthlessburgher and SteelerofDeville leap up the leader-board with the weekly high score of 80 points in the Steelers v. Panthers game -- which featured Jaylen Samuels leaping forward for his first TD as a Steeler and kicking in an additional 25 bonus points for NEW LEADER PFelix73 and the boys!



Former Champ SteelerofDeville has moved into a tie for 4th place and has worked his way into striking distance -- it's now a VERY tight race at the top.....and as we look ahead -- a VERY rough week ahead for the top of the board.

ESPN is picking up 25 bonus points all to themselves - as they were the only one smart enough to pick legit playoff contenders.....(I should take away points for bad field conditions.....but I suppose that's not ESPN's fault).



Ruthlessburger, Jooser, Fordfixer, Starlifter, and Tomlinator will be picking up a special 20 point bonus as Jason Pierre-Paul prepares to take on his former team -- I thought there were MUCH better games to pick than taking the bait on this easy 20 on a bad game.....turns out the easy 20 was probably the smart move -- good job gentleman.



Looking ahead - Squidkid and Ghost have a chance to make a move into 1st and 2nd place this week -- but they don't have any bonus points at the kickoff of the Steelers v. Jacksonville game.

Lonbull (yours truly) won't be able to make any ground on leader PFelix73 as they both share the Eagles v. Saints game -- which also doesn't have any bonus points at kickoff.

**Again -- could be a rough week for the top of the board.

Good Luck this week - your leader is in RED

Week 11

Chiefs v. Rams – (+25) ESPN
Buccaneers v. Giants – (+20) Tomlinator, Ruthlessburger, Jooser, Fordfixer, Starlifter

Eagles v. Saints – Pfelix73, Lonbull, Flippy
Steelers v. Jaguars – Passhappy, Ghost, Squidkid, Chadman, NBC
Cowboys v. Falcons – Papillion, MeetJoeGreene
Packers v. Seahawks – SteelerofDeville

[Lonbull]

Bills v. Jets.....good grief

We've all picked bad ones my friend.....part of the charm of the game I suppose / hope.

L.B.

[squidkid]

wow, steelers/jax went from goose egg lounge to respectable scoring in a hot second...............whew.
thank god, my free fall has been disheartening

[SteelerOfDeVille]

ESPN - 430
SteelerofDeville - 430

I couldn't help but sit back and smile as I watched MNF Football and MNF Exec. work so sweetly together -- Rams v. Chiefs Primetime - Monday Night -- it came in as a HYPE game and it delivered for ESPN with the Weekly High and certainly the Yearly high of 120 points.

This was exactly the kind of game that MNF Exec was designed for.....and none of us had the game....OUCH...and Double Ouch!



However this is not to overlook the Steelers v. Jacksonville 4th Quarter...(because I couldn't bear to watch the first 3 quarters!!!) - which resulted in a very sweet 85 point pick-up that helped Squidkid dive back into the lead!



This game also shook up the board quite nicely as it also moved Ghost into a tie for 2nd place. (And of course as my nemesis) passed me up ONCE AGAIN!

Passhappy, Chadman, NBC also have moved up the board and there's still plenty of football to go.

Looking ahead -- another *possible tough week for the top of the board as none of the Top 4 Execs have a bonus at kickoff -- However I see a number of Execs are hoping that Crabtree can make his 20 point bonus happen!

Tomlinator is hoping the Colt McCoy Era can bring some added excitement - while MeenJoeGreene is hoping that ESPN is still on a major hot streak.

One of the things I like about this game is that a number of us picked what should have been safe "bonus" games -- Packers and Vikings -- Falcons and Saints.....and instead the difficult to predict NFL has left us with an empty plate at a Vegan Thanksgiving.....I mean THAT'S ROUGH!

Speaking of which - I want to wish each and every one of you a Great Thanksgiving for you and your family.

Feels like yesterday!



Here's to Health and Happiness.

Good Luck this week - your leader is in RED
