A gentle reminder from God to the Todaro clan…
When you fail to participate in our collective Sunday ritual, you not only sleight your football betting brethren, you slight me. Because…
And thou shall not make weak excuses about getting wrapped up in Christmas. I’m not saying junior’s birth is not worth celebrating. But please do not lose sight of what really matters. Remember without God there would be no field goal (sorry about that Ravens 61 yarder, Lions fans, it’s just that your mascot’s reputation for eating Christians has always rubbed me the wrong way. Plus, your coach was a real jerk in a previous life). Oops, spoiler alert on the multiple lives bit. Christian minds blown everywhere, I know.
As for the results, Mike’s willingness to abandon the aforementioned God forsaken Lions, was richly rewarded as he notched a one-win victory over his son this week.
Overall the Todaros continue to lead, if not exactly curry my favor.
Yo Pete, I don’t care what your funny guy Vonnegut magnet says, if I was alive today I would not be an atheist. Agnostic, perhaps. But not atheist. We’ll chat when you get here. Relax, you got plenty of time. Just be careful with that wood stove.
Jackson, I’m digging the art, but put the paintbrush down for five minutes and make some damn picks, would ya? BTW, the Onion rules.
Clarice. Do not neglect to read these emails that you deem witty but not always worthy of your literary attention. And for my sake, ditch the side bangs. Can’t stand watching you screw with them all game long. Do this for me and I’ll give you at least 5′ 8″.
And fear not darling, I do bless your mother. She always gets her picks in. And her unorthodox, belly up melt-downs are rather endearing.
Alas, I digress.
Zane hath regaineth the overall percentage lead. But Z — and I don’t mean to play the biblical heavy here — Proverbs does remind us that “Pride goeth before destruction and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Let’s just say that black ice at the Lehigh Valley mall was no accident yesterday. Capiche?
Happy holidays and God bless.

FROM KRIS…
Mea culpa, Lord, we appreciate you not smiting our little heads with bolts of lightning. Yes, the failure of SOME of the Todaro clan to keep Your day holy deserves your wrath but we are grateful we’re still clinging, ever so tenuously, to the overall lead. And we would so appreciate keeping that lead — most especially for continued bragging rights against the Pennella clan — into your next Holy Football season so we can keep showing ‘em how it’s done. All members of the Todaro clan will prayerfully submit their picks in a timely and Godly manner tomorrow morning. Amen.
