    You're probably bored with the lead anyway.

    Your hits/points totals are currently what it took to win last year. I get the feeling it won't be such an easy ride this year as I see a half dozen players within striking distance. Maybe it's just wishful thinking...

              Dolores was a pick for two players - -Jrabbit (3) and DaShi (12)

              -Jrabbit receives 166 points and moves back into first place on the leader board.

              DaShi receives 157 points and ties a couple all-time records.

              Congrats to both and condolences to the Hope family.

                  I would kind of question Delores Hope's eligibility.

                    These things get vetted, dude, and Wezil made the call last December. I mean, question all you want, but if you look outside the little world of Poly, Dolores Hope has been ruled as eligible by thousands of dead pools for several years.

                        Steve Jobs was 56 and a pick of two players:

                        -Jrabbit (16) = (171 - 16) + (100 - 56) = 199 points

                        OFITG (20) = (171 - 20) + (100 - 56) = 195 points

                        No change in the top of the leader board.

                          If she was simply "Bob's wife" I would agree however Dolores had a celebrity career of her own pre-marriage and extensive charity work after that.

                            Now that Jobs is gone, -Jrabbit and I have almost no overlap on our lists.

                            What I'm saying is -Jrabbit is spent for the season and now it's Wezil's turn to shine.

                              They were married for 69 years. That's pretty retired. Besides, I wasn't questioning the validity of her inclusion, just expressing a thought.
