Hope springs eternal with the advent of every new football season. That the ineptitudes of the past may be forgotten and new winning ways embraced.

And thus it is only appropriate that our own dewy-eyed optimist, Special K, has dashed to the lead after week 1, with the perennially victory-challenged Classic Chris nipping at her appropriately modest college campus heels.

Twas a rockier start for Rock and Zane, but fret not, boys, ’tis but week 1.

Kris: 10

Claire: 9

Chris: 9

Mike: 9

Rock: 7

Zane: 6

Well, it was close, but week 16 ended with Zane losing another one in the tie-breaker, this time to the Commish.

Relative to the overall results, Claire’s weak week did bring her back to the pack a bit, but it will take a huge final week from Pop or Special K  to catch her. And though C&C find themselves in the cellar this week, the full season hall of shame is still up for grabs with Zane and the Commish lurking nearby.

Your full results…

Journey with me back to a time far, far ago, a time where holiday music still ruled the airwaves and seventy degree temperatures abounded; a time some might refer to as…week 15.

Here are LAST week’s results. Sorry for the delay.

As for the weekly title, it was Pop once more (PopPop?), nosing out Zane on points (after Zane picked against the Lions on MNF). Overall, however, Claire kept comfortable distance (as teenagers are apt to do).

In the battle to see who will be relegated to a lesser family pool next year, Zane continues to blaze the bottom, but the Commish and C&C are clearly in striking distance.

First of all, let me clarify that — as was highly publicly pointed out — this was in fact week 14 and not 15. Though the way my dear mistake-pointer-outer has performed this year, you might think he’d be hoping for as quick an end to the season as possible.

But let us not let such petty sniping detract from Pop’s (not to be confused with Pops) big 11 win week which was enough to break the Todaro logjam atop the cumulative results by hundredths of a decimal point.

Claire remains comfortably ahead but with her relatively low total number of games picked, a bad few final weeks could rudely return her to reality (not that we would generally wish such thing).

The Todaros are now 1-2 as Kris takes another week. Oi.
