[Van Basten II]

Heck of a battle for second place though.

Not gonna name any names coughvajerzycough, but somebody forgot to make their pick for tonight's game. It's probably ok though, cuz everyone else picked Pittsburgh, who are losing 13-6 at the start of the 4th quarter to the lowly Browns.

Vaj would have picked the Clowns.

[Soulstation1]

Like the Pats are going far in the play-offs if they even make it

They can't win a game on the road and their Defense is weak

I was thinking about it- but probably not....I was late getting home with my daughter- so I was too late. If this post looks messed up it's because the board is messing up on my computer. I'm typing over solid boxes and can't see the words.

The post is fine, the quote a bit messed up.

[Van Basten II]

Conn had a dismal week, seems we're going to crown a new champ, Vaj lead has tightened up a bit and it is still a mad scramble for runner up. With 3 weeks to go the title is still at reach realistically for 5 players.

Another Thursday game this week. Don't forget to get your picks in everybody!

[Van Basten II]

Thanks for the warning.

[Soulstation1]

If the Skins win tonight I will be one game behind

The winner for the year is far from over

I haven't picked the Skins all year- and won't the rest of the year. I like it that most everyone's in the running!

[Van Basten II]

Updated rankings, Aggie put himself within reach of taking the overall lead by winning the weekly contest, would say we still have 4 players in contention with two weeks to go. Noj needing badly a divine intervention to catch up Vajerzy and the pack between him and the leader. Tight contest to figure out who's going to end up with the red lantern between Conn and Edward.

[Noj]

Friday game this week, don't forget to get your picks in everybody!

[vajerzy]

oops......too much Christmas cheer these past few days to think about football.

[Van Basten II]

Except for Edward who got a weaker week , all players ended up with similar scores, with less and less picks to go through before crossing the finish line, barring a catastrophy Vajerzy should win the championship. Conn big week should help him avoid winning the Red Lantern.

I have my picks in already- I've lost enough games by missing the various Thursday games.

[Van Basten II]

Only Conn has yet to make his picks.

[connoisseur series500]

Been away for a bit. My picks are in! Thanks for updating the results while I was gone.

[connoisseur series500]

Season picks are over and Vajerzy is the grand champion for the 2009-10 season. Here are the results:

vajerzy 12 11* 12 12 10* 10* 10 7 8 10 12 12 9 11 9 10 10 0 175

Van Basten II 12 9 11 10 8 8 10 8 9 11 11 13 11 12 10 10 11 0 174

Soulstation1 11 9 12 10 10 8 10 8 11* 11* 12 9 10 12* 9 11 10 0 173

Connoisseur series 500 12 9 11 13* 10* 8 11 7 6 7 13* 10 13* 8 9 11* 11 0 169

Edward 12 10 9 10 9 9 11* 6 9 8 11 12 10 12 8 9 14* 0 169

It was a tight race but Vaj consistently led the competition from beginning to end. The NFL pool was originally SS1's idea and we began this fine Organissimo tradition in 2005. Here are the past champions:

2005-6 Conn

2006-7 Edward

2007-8 Noj

2008-9 Conn

2009-10 Vajerzy

Special thanks to SS1 for originally coming up with the idea for an NFL pool. We've consistently had at least 4-6 members play throughout the season, though some people did drop out midseason during the early years.

Any suggestions for a prize for Vaj? I'm willing to put in $5 towards something.

Fuck, i'm once again runner up. Since we're a music board, how about sending a CD instead, it will be more personal than money.

I'm for sending a cd as well. We never gave out prizes for any of the previous winners, but it wouldn't be a bad thing to start.

Van B finished second two yers in a row. That's apretty good accomplishment, but who remembers the Super Bowl losers?

[vajerzy]

Thank you for offering- very generous of you all- but no prize for me....please save your money....we need to decide something as a group at the beginning of the year so everyone's on board. I offered a jar of honey from my honeybees to the yearly winner, but since I won, do I send it to VanB??

How much would it cost to order one of your jars, Vaj? I'd like to get one.

[vajerzy]

I get 4.50 for a 1/2 lb (6 oz) , 8.00 for a lb (12 oz).

Let me do an inventory of what's left- we still have to give a few gifts out.
