Down to the nitty gritty

We’re getting down to the nitty gritty, when you have to take the bull by the horns and boys become men and you need to give 110 percent by walking
uphill both ways in the snow, the way the oldtime Pigskin Pick ’Em panel used to do. Does that make sense? No,
probably not. Forgive us. It’s been a long year. Anyway, sports writer Tom
Williams maintained his one-game lead on WFMJ sports director Dana Balash in the contest last weekend, while the rest of us ... well, at least we have next year.
