THE LEAGUE 2008 (WEEK 16, 21 DEC), YEAR 20
WEEKLY SUMMARY.  When I started typing this last night, the power went out for several hours.  Fortunately, we have power back to get this out.  Hawks fan have a minor event to celebrate over the holidays -- a two-game winning streak!  Next year should prove interesting with a new coach.  We had some seriously skewed scores this week to knock down the top three contenders and open the field for a wild Week 17 finish.  Everyone should look at rosters and guess which starters will sit out Week 17.  It will make the final tally interesting.  Note that we have no early games in Week 17 and no Monday Night Football.  Mary and I wish you a safe and happy Christmas and hope you can spend the holidays with family.
