Well, its been over a month since the last time the standings for TBO were updated. Let’s take a quick look at what they looked like after Week 9.

Bill John’s game finally woke up and he’s been 4-0-1 in Weeks 10-15. Tom and Chris have also managed to keep their records slightly above .500 during that time as well. There is a cluster of teams sitting second through fifth that still have a shot. I’d even venture that the team in sixth has a shot, albeit a long one. As for the rest of us (7th-12th), we’re playing for pride going forward.
With the match of J. Carroll/D. Mahar to be played Tuesday, Jon’s team could leap into second place and make for an interesting update!
In order to make these last few weeks interesting, someone is going to have to put a stop to Bill, Chris and Tom’s run to the top. First up on that challenge in Week 16, Connor, Brian Thompson and Artie. Do the league a favor, fellas!
