Pick Totals / Update for Week 16

"C'mon, it's the atoll in Micronesia!!" --Gheen (RIP) on the game show "Duel" on ABC

Gheen only made it to Week 12 in the Ducey Pool, but he did successfully win one duel on ABC's week-long event last week. His knowledge of the origin of the word bikini proved he was a worthy dueler, despite his not going on to win the million-dollar-plus jackpot.

Over in the Ducey Pool, the leaderboard was cut in half. This snake officially has a head, and that head is Holland. Congratulations to Holland for being a member of the "coalition of the willing" during the invasion of Iraq, and for being the last remaining undefeated contestant this season. He has outdone 564 of us. Unfortunately, the monetary reward for this specific accomplishment is $0. There are still five weeks to go. And fair warning to Holland: Marijuana is a dangerous, deadly drug that is ruining society. Also, only once in the history of the Ducey Pool has the last remaining undefeated player gone on to get a share of the jackpot. It may be lonely at the top, but it's dangerous there, too. Don't go into the prevent-defense. It can result in disaster. Just ask the Falcons who saved you this week with just such a strategy.
