Three players score in Underdog Week 1

Our charity pro football underdog game kicked off in earnest for another year today. Only three of our 23 'dognosticators got on the scoreboard, with wins by both New York teams and San Francisco. Nobody had the day's most awesome 'dog, Arizona, who would have earned 10 for somebody. But a win's a win. If you got 3 points every week, in the end you'd have 63. The winner of our last game had 44½.

Here are the standings after Sunday's action. Note that the three players with red asterisks after their names have Denver for 2½ in the Monday night game:

Current rank	Player	Point total
1	Gordon	3.5
2	Bad Picker	3
3	Roger Goodell	1.5

If Denver comes through, I'll update this table.

Congrats to this week's winners! The Week 2 underdogs will be posted on this blog come Tuesday.

My records are showing a handful of players still unpaid. If that includes you, a gentle reminder that the payment deadline is this Wednesday. If you need details on how to get the donation paid, drop me a line at dogpdx26@gmail.com.

Given that there are 20 players still at zero, and that the top score so far is 3½, there's still time for more players to join us. Send an expression of interest to dogpdx26@gmail.com for further details. All proceeds to charity. 'Dogs rule!
