BrownOut absolutely icehoused Drink Beer with a clutch win and the week 13 league-high score of 188. As Tommy Chong once said: "Holy Snappin Arsens!" Aaron "Don't-Call-Me-Buck" Rodgers and Percy "Sledge" Harvin led the way with 44 and 41 points respectively. Eli Manning was the high scorer with 32 and Marshawn Lynch added 31 for the Happy Hour bunch that got an early last call.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
There is only 1 week left of the regular season and it starts this Thursday in Pittsburgh. Just to illustrate how competitive this league remained, there's 9 teams with alive for 4 playoff spots. There's also a Consolation Bracket for the next 4 highest ranked teams that did not qualify for the playoffs. Essentially, our playoffs will determine who finished ranked #1 through #4 and the Consolation Rounds determine who finishes ranked #5 through #8. If you're a competitive participant that has an insatiable appetitie for competing, winning a Consolation Bracket can be pretty fun and a nice way to punctuate the season. There's only going to be 1 champion so your commish says if you got an opportunity to play 2 more games after the regular season ends - LET THE PIGEONS LOOSE!
