And, what about Naomi?
(It appears that the original Naomi is none other than the mother of Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal! That is, if you can trust Wikipedia. She worked on The Electric Company before she married and had kids...)

The first one is SonofVandal, I believe....
The others are J-boarders (I think) whose pool we crashed this year.....

I'm pretty sure a combination of "beast" and "13" is in your name. Kind of a dead giveaway. Even Vague Mini could have figured out it was you....

Yeah, not obvious at all!
I have not made a pick this year, obviously.
And I am pretty sure I lost in the FF playoffs after last night.

Not Winnie--Naomi Foner was a producer, not an actor. Naomi was just the random name thrown out there and not referring to "The Girl."

I just looked it up--"The Boy" was Fritz the Cat before Electric Company! These days, he'd never get work on a kids' show...

Then big ups to Ma Gyllenhaal! Naomi sure knew how to pick 'em. The Electric Company was a stepping stone to stardom for a lot of people (except for, apparently, Winnie).
I loved the Electric Company, it was so tremendously, awesomely 70s. Even more so than Zoom......

Ha! I was going to say that, but I couldn't remember the Box # for sure. That would have been so less catchy had the PO already instituted the uniform two letter state abbreviations.....

Yes, he is a junior at UMass. He knows football and is pretty good at picking winners. He has the most "wins" in the group.
You may recall he had a huge lead a few years back in the USA Today Pigskin Pool (not a confidence pool) and had a total meltdown the final or next to final week and went from five game up to also ran.
He hopes to not repeat that performance.

Yeah, that's what it was.
It wasn't that I was wondering about the competition.
That wasn't it at all.

Garbage
Effluvium

Tonight's Giants/Cowboys game will determine the winner of the Yahoo group.
If the Giants wins, Peaby takes the title.
If the Cowboys win, Fryler is champ.
