No Scrubs

This week I chose the 1999 No. 1 hit from TLC called "No Scrubs," because to two teams that I witnessed blow outs they were definitely not scrubs.

I covered a 54-0 shellacking from Westhope-Newburg-Glenburn to Parshall as well as a 45-0 domination by Dakota College at Bottineau over Mayville State JV. And I have plenty of pretty good pictures to prove it, if I may say so.

Things took a turn to the positive in fantasy football this week as I won in three of four leagues. I now sit in seventh (3-4), sixth (3-4), eighth (3-4) and fourth (4-3). Things are starting to turn around, but I also got hit with the injury bug, so we'll see how it goes from here.

I got 10 right in NFL pick 'em this week, and I'm still averaging 10 right per week with 70 total right thus far.

Anyway, I have many pictures to share from football this past week:
