In other news...

My fellow pickers, it is with great pleasure and pride that I get to share some heartfelt and heart warming news. As many of you know we had a history making event last week. For the first time in history, one of our very own has set a record. This picker pulled off the impossible and went 16 & 0 in week 14. While others have had undefeated weeks of picking in previous years, they have not done it by going 16 & 0.

Something new we are going to have this year is the ring of honor. Many NFL teams do this to honor greatness and keep a legend in the fold. It is with great please that I announce the first ever inductee into the PYX Ring of Honor:

I hereby declare, as Commissioner of this great Picking Nation that Mr. Jeff Nichols of the Metro Brotherhood has been inducted into The PYX Ring of Honor. Congratulations Mr. Nichols for a job well done. This is truly a lifetime achievement.
