Commissioner Tadros Press Conference,
The Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites
Brighton, Michigan

N8 Lucas is the Picker of the Week!  Nobody deserves this award more than Nate.  Not only only did N8 go 10-3 (picking better than any one else in the league), but he made his picks under the status of "Polluted Evacuee".  Many of you heard about the chemical explosion that took place last week in Apex, North Carolina. 

Thousands of people in Apex, North Carolina, were ordered out of their homes on a Friday after a late-night fire at a hazardous waste plant sent a toxic cloud over the Raleigh suburb.   A series of explosions at the Environmental Quality Company plant, 10 miles southwest of Raleigh, sent a cloud of dangerous chlorine gas into the air and around 16,000 people, about half the town's population, were told to evacuate their homes.  Nate Lucas and his family had to evacuate...but he STILL was able to pony express his picks into PYX Headquarters.  This could very well be the story of the year.

In other news around the league, we saw a few overtime games once again.  Jay Zink over Linda Dalman, Mike Colliau defeats Thomas Van Dyke and Al Bonn edges out Ryan Thome.  This was the first competitive, higher scoring Monday Night football game all year.

But the most exciting game of the week was between arch rivals Al Nowak and Paul Landry.  This game started ugly and ended ugly, as a bench clearing brawl ensued.  Fines and suspensions were handed out as Paul Landry claimed victory by one point.  Landry was fined for comments he made during the confrontation.

"Now, that's what I'm talking about," Landry said as the brawl raged out of control. "You come into our house, you should get your behind kicked. You don't come into Commerce playing that stuff.  I say, why don't Nowak just meet me outside in the tunnel after the ball game and get it on some more? You don't come into Commerce, baby," Landry said. "I've had a down couple years but you don't come in here talking smack. Not in my house."

After 6 weeks of picking, let's analyze the standings:

Once again, there are only  5 pickers who are in the Top 10 of both categories and they are:  Paul Landry, Brent Van Wieren, Don Zysk, Kurt Hazlewood and Rachelle Sova.  Jeff Nichols and the The Alternative Picking Task Force has devised a new system.  This new football system is called the BCS Poll.  The BCS is a complex formula that gives equal weight to both head-to-head record and overall picking percentage.  This will be discussed further and may be put to a vote after the conclusion of the season.
