Monkey Shines

The long-range forecast for the 31st is not promising. I'll make sure to update all the Houston owners as to a possible venue change, rescheduling, or cancellation of the get-together.

The weather now appears to be fine for Saturday. Maybe a bit too cold for an outdoor venue. I will update all Houston owners with any change in where we meet, but the date and time look to be good to go. See you then!

And now back to your regularly scheduled Hughes News....

Two weeks in, two weeks to go in the Second Season contest. A few random observations:

-It is still wide open, with several clubs having a real shot at a money finish, a few others essentially eliminated due to low point total and having their remaining players covered (or nearly covered) by higher scoring teams.

-Only James is ahead of the Beat The Monkey team right now. My use of an RNG to select that club's players should tell everyone how much luck is involved in these things. 

-They have nine players left; only Jack's team, with ten, has more. And the Monkey crew would have ten had Nix not gone down. 

-Speaking of Nix..I can't recall this many postseason NFL injuries in the prior contests. We've already had Kittle and Collins lose a game plus for the teams that selected them, and Nix and Charbonnet are finished. 

Quick Reminder. The Houston guys are meeting a week from Saturday:

January 31 @ 2:30

Bayou Heights

3905 Washington Ave, between Jackson Hill and Waugh
