Octopus Overlords

The dastardly, daring dervish Captain Caveman is back in 1st place after winning his last 7 picks. With a lock remaining, the championship is his to lose. We also have an interesting competition for 2nd and third, as the 3 folks with 19 points have used all of their locks, while the five with 18 each have one remaining--effectively, there will be a tie among any of those eight who get the Super Bowl correct. You all may want to study the regular-season standings and tiebreaker policy hard before the Big Game.

Corrections due ASAP. Good luck!

I'm thankful (and lucky) to be in this position, but dammit, this Super Bowl seems like the toughest one to pick in a long time. Of course, maybe I'm lucky that it's a toss-up... so many underdogs have won recently.

As an aside, I guess my lock is worthless since I own the tiebreaker. But who to pick?? Maybe I'll forget again, Zax...

Just be sure to have it in by gametime three weeks from now and you'll be fine.

*drumroll*

Congrats to Ralph-Wiggum for winning the top prize! He finishes with 23 points and a tiebreaker win over Mithridates (via regular-season score). 40% of the prize cashola cola will go to R-W, and 30% to Mithridates. Captain Caveman wins a 4-way tie over Monkeyskunk, Dr. Hook 'Em and Baroquen (also via regular-season score) for 3rd and will add 15% of the pot to his already-earned 15%. This is R-W's 3rd straight playoff #1 finish. His entry fee next year is raised to $40 (not really).

This brings CC within striking distance of the overall all-time #1 spot, held by The Meal (22 pts to 20), and vaults R-W into 3rd overall.

Stats and rankings are here. Please send in any corrections (not of the 'Oh, did I say Denver? I meant Seattle' variety) ASAP. R-W, CC,, and Mithridates, please send me your addresses for prize-sending purposes.

Thanks to you all for another fun season. I hope to see you all back next year!

Thanks again Zaxxon! I look forward to next year!

Ugh what a crappy season for me this year. Oh well, same time next year?

Approximately.

Back to back to back? Unpossible! Congrats R-W!

Whooooo. Go RW. Way to stay strong for the initials.
