'SPIKE-D' PUNCH!

In 14 seasons I can't remember a week when we had such wholesale changes
at the top of the standings. All 3 of last week's leaders took a tumble.

Our new leader is Spike, my sister Tracy Hall, a 40-something Teacher
from Niagara Falls, ON.

Of note - Of the 8 former champs in the Pool this year, only 2 have a score
above .500, with 5 being in the bottom 10!

This week Bonus Game picks were available ONLY TO POOLERS -6 and UNDER.

Check your score! Questions or comments, e-mail Auggie.

Gordon Blickstead was born and raised in the Irish immigrant neighborhood of Griffintown in Montreal, Quebec. He was the proud son of Charles, the city's Fire Chief.

As a 20-something bon-vivant, he began crooning jazz standards in smokey Montreal nightclubs under the name 'Sonny Columbo.' An impressive crooner, Sonny outshone Tony Bennett when they appeared on a 1957 CBC-TV special.

In the early 60's, Gordon retired his 'Sonny' persona for the practical job of teacher at Resurrection School in Montreal where he coached a 2nd string football team of varsity squad rejects to a winning record.

After a sabbatical on the beaches of Florida, Gordon began a career in radio during which he and colleague 'Auggie' began a close friendship until Gordon's death from cancer in August 2002.

Gordon most enjoyed a cold beer, a warm barstool and the Football Pool.

Despite his brief coaching success he was no more saavy at making picks than the rest of us. But, he'd no doubt get a bigger kick out of knowing that Sonny Columbo lives on through our Pool award!

Cheers, old friend.
