The Blog Hawgs

I wrote this last week at this time and in this space:

“Listen… Things aren’t going too well this year. I think we all know that. There’s really no need to rehash the pathetic prognostication that has occurred here at the BlogHawgs.com world headquarters. We know that mistakes have been made, and we’re going to try and fix them.”

What I meant to say was, “Adam will right the ship, while I will continue to hand over my daughter’s college money to Vinny.

Adam had a very strong week, posting a profit of $270 that brings his annual account to its highest point of the season. Meanwhile, I lost another $46 dropping me to the Danger Zone. I’m down to $257 in the bank, and this week’s wagers put me at risk of hawking my possessions just to settle up on Tuesday.

If you didn’t join us last year or simply need to brush up on things, here is a quick refresher on the rules:

• Maximum of 8 single plays during the week
• One option teaser and one optional parlay also allowed
• Minimum of $50 wager
• Both started the season with a $1,000 bankroll but can buy back into the game if they go bust
