[PoolPlayers] Here we go again...

[Tom Stewart]

Woohoo! Thanks Caroline, for the intro and the novel strategy! Sounds like
great fun! And also for reminding me that I'm late in sending out a
reminder. Please, if you haven't already done so, get your picks in before
kickoff of tonight's season opening wallop of the Chiefs by the Superbowl
Champion New England Patriots!
