The final week of our regular season is approaching, and the final bye in the first round of the playoffs is still up for grabs. Gersitz and company wrapped up first place last week when they curb-stomped Team Jimmy. Jimmy wrapped up last place with this week’s forfeit (again) to KO.

Other fun “Stuff”:
MVP: Chris Cole goes up against league favorite Paul Palumbo Wednesday – with more than just playoff implications on the line. The winner of this head-to-head battle will probably get that coveted League MVP award. Grinders fans know who to root for.
WAP & FGA: I know, I know, Curtis has a 12 shot lead over Bryant The Grinder… in two less games. Bryant has a slight WAP lead over our reigning ball hogger.
Hero: Cole, Paul P, and Jimmy Z could all walk away as the “hero”.
Helmet: Air Balls vs (FGM x 3). Too bad his team forfeits this week…
