2012 Season: First half report card time!

Posted on October 16, 2012 by gamedaycole

Well well well, its about the halfway point of the regular season, so I figured it was time to send report cards home to the parents of all our football experts below. I’m issuing a 14 point curve for everyone, so adjust the scores below accordingly to get their letter grade. I’ve only included experts with ten or more picks because who cares if someone is 2-0 for the season? Not me, that’s who. Lou Holtz is off to a surprise lead among those regularly picking every week. However, there is a lot of football left to be played, and most years championships are won and dreams are crushed during bowl season, so this thing is far from over. I expect these report cards to be signed and returned to my desk by 8AM Monday morning. That especially includes you Brian Griese. I don’t want to have another talk with Bob Griese about your performance, because Mark May is not a tough man to beat heads up picking games. Enjoy.
