It’s all on the line here: money, success – journalistic integrity. So far, seasoned sports editor James Galloway has dominated associate and brilliant columnist Michael De Soto in their NFL pool. Galloway leads the informal pick count 55-53. Things are close. Six of the 14 picks this week are different, which means De Soto, “The mighty defender of Liberty,” could take back the lead or “Justice for All” Galloway can jump ahead nine points. Will Galloway be schooled? Will De Soto fall flat? This week could be for all the marbles.
The stakes are high: a cold crisp $20 bill and a meal from Qdoba’s. The heat is on.
