Then you should have gotten more answers right than Buscemi :)

Wow, I won?

You tied for the win in the August Pickem and are currently in the lead for the whole shabang. It's only the second month though, and there are a ton of points for the more-than-one-month picks.

Not bad, especially considered I was last in the beginning.
