Well , there you have it. Seems with football news sites, Empire was the overwhelming favorite (mine too) before the exclusion announcement. Elk(s) did well in the others. I find all this interesting but it did bring back my annoyance with Presson as well. All good though. I'll cheer on my Elks and sometimes Als.
