After 1 day, not only is Cobbler officially eliminated from the competition, but he's also officially mathematically locked in to last place.
Good friggin' job.

It's hardly a sport, let's be honest here.

It's not as continuous as football or rugby. But the downs system creates great moments of anticipation and high drama.

Ever heard of a little sports team called the WESTERN BULLDOGS, hmm? No? Well then, how about the LEICESTER CITY FOXES? Still no? The CHICAGO CUBS?

Give me the title now.

The Cubs were heavily favored to win the world series in 2016 two years ago... The Lions... Are the Lions.

I know you posted before the game became a runaway, but yeah, you got it. I have another of these I'm doing with the exact same rules with friends and family locally that I had already mathematically won after last weekend. My list was virtually the same but I had my 8 and 7 reversed from here.
