With each week, I get just a little bit closer to claiming that golden turtle. The Noisy Devils are holding strong at the top followed by Top Hat Sasquatch (wha?) and Team Hellions (doubly wha?!?). Guess who served up the biggest blowout this week? That’s right. This week’s matchup has me facing off against those trash […]
