With a full week under our belt, the Daily Sports Dept. is finally getting in the groove, which is more than we can say for the Eagles, Mail Services, and spinach (read the news--national spinach E. coli breakout). So now, some expert (read: Thursday-night-pregame-induced) picks for Week 3.
Backing up his trash talk from Week 2 was Dave "Former Child Gymnast" Pomerantz, who double-handspringed from an 0-2 beginning to a 14-4 clip, tied (cutely enough) with his roommate Andrew Bauld. Coming in at 11-5 were Liz "I LOVE the hyphen!" Hoffman and Evans Clinchy, and Andrew Silver "Lining" saw the best in his 10-6 week, losing an early lead but standing steady at 12-6. After matching records in Week 1, Rachel Dolin-Bloom and Alex Bloom-Dolin both turned in 10-6 showings to stand together in the middle of the pack at 11-7 (A sign? We think so). A barely .500-plus week pulled Tom Eager "to please" even at 9-9, but the hopelessly dejected Redskins fan can at least take solace in his one-game lead over Kelley Vendeland, who was punished for some shifty Week 1 activity, and for picking Houston and Kansas City (although to be fair, five of us picked Houston this week). Hoping his encyclopedic knowledge of Tufts sports will translate, "Sports Information, this is" Paul Sweeney offers his guest picks this week.
