WEEK 17: RESULTS

In the words of a famous American, "Thats all, folks!" MSAFP(p!)! is in the books, and the big weiner is in. The Envelope, please!

But first, we'll do small potatoes. Week 17 was clearly the last week, as only about 0.8% of you bothered to send your picks in. For shame, people, for shame! Next year, I've gotta come up with a better way to penalize people who don't send their picks in on time... but I digress. Anyway, of the people who bothered to send their picks in (I've only included them below), the winner was (surprise, surprise, surprise...)...

Dave!

Dave is the big weiner for Week 17 and will receive a WSP in the mail at some point! Congrats, Dave. Don't forget to send flowers!

The standings for the final week were as follows:

1. Dave (12-4) (came closest to the point total, though went over)
1. Joshu (12-4) (went WAAAAAAAAAAY over; Doh!)
3. Me! (11-5)
3. Bill (11-5)
3. Scott (11-5)
6. George (10-6)
7. Matt M. (9-7)
8. Josh (8-8)
9. Molly (7-9)
14. Everyone else. Ppppsb!

So, now the moment that Dave and Scott and maybe Bill have been waiting for! Who came in first place overall? Would it be Scott, or Dave, or would Bill make a run at the last second? Oh the suspense is killing me. The answer is, of course, Dave won. Yay. (Yawn) He beat Scott by one game. Poor poor (poop!) Scott. He'll only be walking away with $140 in ciz-zash miz-zoney. As for Dave, he'll get D308. You'll notice that there is no '$' symbol in front of Dave's winnings. Thats because Dave will not be paid in normal American dollars. Nope. He'll be getting 308 'Dave Dollars'. For a complete history of Dave Dollars find Bill, give him 8 shots of Jagermeister, sit back, listen and enjoy.

In all seriousness, Congratulations to Dave for kicking our asses most righteously. Enjoy it while it lasts, because yr going down next year, friend. DOWN!

Here are the final standings for the 2007 Matty's Second Annual Football Pool (poop!)!

11. Sandy "Also the highest ranking woman ever in the history of the pool (poop!)" (161-95)
13. Joshu "Ahh for the old days of 2006..." (160-96)
14. Matt "If you reverse my record I suck even more!" M. (154-102)

I hope everyone had a fun time this season with this pool. I'll be in touch again with you all before next football season, and hopefully you'll all be back (and tell a friend or two) about Matty's Third Annual Football Pool (poop!)!

Also, I'll be putting all the remaining checks in the mail this week, so watch your mailbox vigilantly.

If anyone has any suggestions regarding the pool, or any comments, please feel free to email me at matthew.kory@gmail.com and let me know.

I wish you all a happy and healthy new year, and all the best in the coming year.

-Matt

WEEK 16: RESULTS

This is it, folks.

The final week of MSAFP(p!)! is here. But first I wanted to say that I've enjoyed doing this pool for the second year in a row. I know I haven't been as up-to-date as I'd like and I haven't been as hilarious as last year, but thems the breaks. You get married, you get a job, these things happen to you. Next thing you know you're getting hairs growing out of your nose and it takes you twenty minutes to take a dump. Its coming people, so get ready.

But in the meantime, theres one more exciting 'n moist week of MSAFP(p!)! to go, so go for the gusto, ma peeps. You've got one more week to throw all the turds at the wall that you possibly can. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Week 17 is almost upon us, but I can't forget Week 16. It was an exciting week that came down to the wire. First here were how the standings finished.

1. Matthew M. (12-4)
1. Jon (12-4)
3. Scott (11-5) (glad you didn't pick Buffalo, huh?)
3. Sandy(11-5)
3. Joey (11-5)
3. George (11-5)
7. Joshu (10-6)
7. Tyler (10-6)
7. Josh (10-6)
7. Zack (10-6)
7. Dave (10-6)
12. Me! (9-7)
12. Molly (9-7)
12. Bill (9-7) (we're finishing strong to the hole, eh Bill)

You'll notice a tie at the top of the standings. Thus we go to Monday Night Points for the tiebreaker. Jon picked 41 points while Matthew picked 37. The final score was San Diego, 23-3, for a total of 26 points. As both were over that total, the winner is the one who got the closest, and that would be...

Matthew Mariam!

Congrats, Matt. You've managed to finish last in like a billion consecutive weeks and some how you still win your money back. This should be a lesson folks. Throw enough turds at the wall and some are bound to stick.... kinda makes you wanna fire up a big 'ol bowl of the Cocoa Puffs, huh?

So, you may ask, where does that leave us overall? Well, funny you should ask. Here are the cumulative standings through Week 16:

1. Scott (159-81)
1. Dave (159-81)
3. Bill (157-83)
4. Zack (155-85)
4. Josh (155-85)
4. Joey (155-85)
4. Jon (155-85)
8. Molly (154-86)
9. Me! (153-87)
9. George (153-87)
9. Tyler (153-87)
12. Sandy (151-89)
13. Joshu (148-92)
14. Matt M. (145-95)

Thats right, its a horse race at the top with Scott and Dave duking it out for first, Bill breathing down their necks (yummy), and four others only four games and one great week away from doing something huge. Its anybody's game.

I'll be posting the schedule for Week 17 momentarily. The first game is the Saturday night Pats/G'nts game in NY in which I fully expect half of you to pick NY. Don't forget to send me your picks. I need all of the games, MNP, and I need them by the start of the game on Saturday Night.

Hope you all had/are having an excellent Holiday season.

WEEK 15: UPDATE

I'm at work, so I don't have the pool spreadsheet in front of me, but I'm pretty sure that this week's winner is Matthew Mariam, who managed to throw enough crap against the wall that some of it finally stuck. Isn't that a pleasant image to wake up to?

So, preliminary congrats t0 Matt. I'll post the results for this week and the up-to-the minute overall standings when I get home tonight.

Also, remember that Week 16 annoyingly begins this Thursday night (December 20th) at the inexplicable time of 7:15pm EST. I'll need all of your picks in my inbox by the start of that game for you to be eligible for the Week 16 WSP. As such, I'll post the schedule for Week 16 at lunch later today.
