Jerseys of Hope

Thanks to those of you who have submitted your picks early.  Just a reminder, action is underway this Saturday, 12/16, at 12:00 Eastern.  Those of you who have capacity to get your picks completed in the next couple of days, it helps me out a great deal! 

Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to mention Jerseys of Hope. This Bowl pool has grown by leaps and bounds since I started it up back in 2006.  Many of you are people I've never met personally, and quite frankly I have no idea who the hell you could even be associated with.  Somebody must have forwarded you my e-mails back in the day.  And it's kind of cool to see those same names coming back year after year to participate in some stranger's pool.  

One of our longstanding participants, whom I've never met personally, is John Biemer.  John and I must be affiliated through some mutual professional connection, as we've both circled the city of Columbus in our retail careers, but never actually crossed paths.  While John's mother was battling cancer in a Baltimore area hospital several years back, he was moved by the excitement in the hospital as patients gathered to cheer on the Ravens.  Since then, he has made Jerseys of Hope an important part of his life, committed to providing similar opportunities to as many hospital patients as possible.  By donating new or gently used jerseys, you can bring an afternoon of happiness to someone who really needs it.  It's a unique way to help someone out, and a simple one.  Please take a moment to check out the Jerseys of Hope website.  Your William Green Cleveland Browns jersey still has value.
