Valentines Day Edition

Love is in the air in the Olympics (see photo) and love is in the air in the Fantasy Olympics League.  Much like pairs figure skaters, and the Norwegian mixed doubles curling team, many of our competitors are married to each other.  And unlike the Norwegian mixed doubles curling team, hopefully happily so.

But how do those couples stack up to the competition?  Have they risen to the occasion, or are they falling apart and then screaming at each other in front of curling fans across the world?

Well, not surprisingly, Former Vice Mayor Kenny Kyle Fletcher of The Land of Tony\’s Flags and myself, the Sultan of Murphladesh, also known as the power couple of American Curling, are in a resounding first place.  Some might find that suspicious given that exclusive control of the game is also in our home, but I assure you that this game is ethical and above reproach.

In a tie for second is Mountain Diego of New Newfreeland and Governor Trish of Iowa with Her Excellency Amber of Rambastan (our current points leader) and Barkeep CharDee MacDennis of Paddy\’s Pubistan.  Just a few points back from the leaders, it\’s truly going to be a fight to the finish.

On the bottom of the table today is President Mark of Packerland and Queen Karen of Queenlandia and Pipe Swinger Not Tonya Harding of Gilloolia and Gambler Kenny Rogers of Kenny Rogers\’ Roasterstan.

And finally, rounding out the standings are a couple that allegedly is very into both the Olympics and fantasy sports games, Keeper of the Litter Palace Queen Allison of Mabeltopia and The Bonanza King himself of Bonanzabwe.  With a mere 51 points, an incredible 117 points out of the lead, one has to wonder: do they have what it takes to mount a comeback?
