As league organizer of NJ, I have mostly finished the scoring and Dan won, overwhelmingly. As of right now He has over 60 points and the closest anyone can even get would be Jay or Freddy or me and we’re not close. Interesting side note however is Matt Shea getting one of the top 8 teams as the final pick of the draft. :ahh:
