Playoffs Round 2 Recap

Contributing Writer: Justin Moreno

With all the fires going on, especially out where you all live, I hope everyone is hanging in there and staying safe. It’s been a crazy 2017 in many ways, and personally, I’m very glad to be done with it. I’m definitely looking forward to a good 2018. Congrats to Clayton and Carlos for making it to the finals… May the best team win. I also want to personally thank Janelle for once again running a top shelf league. It’s always fun to be a part of, so thanks for making it so enjoyable.

For this week’s write-up, I decided to just find various quotes that might have some remote connection (or not!) to each team in our league. Enjoy…

That's where the satisfaction comes, from the game and from life.” – Kenny Stabler
