For the first time in three weeks, someone other than a Hately won our Gridiron Green.
Debra Fugate, come on down!
Fugate, from Ignacio, who didn’t play the first two weeks, has a 1-for-16 under her belt, four single-digit weeks and an 8-percent ranking on the national scale, has found her stride midseason. She was 12-for-14 last week, and 12-for-14 this week to win our Week 10 Green.
She’s got work to do to catch our co-leaders, though – “tholeman” and “edonelan” lead our Green with matching 101s, and “tholeman” leads our Gridiron Gold with a 101 as well.
Randy Edge of Bloomington, Minn., had the edge on all of us in Week 10; he won the national Green with 13 of 14 right.
I went 10-4, including my upset pick of the Saints over the previously unbeaten Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in New Orleans, and my overall record is 83-62.
Like Fugate, I’m finding my midseason form.
