1999 Football Pool Final Update
Playoffs - Superbowl
At long last, the pool has been drained. It is complete. Twenty-one grueling unpredictable weeks. It was the season that saw an 85 year-old woman out-picking everyone in her path. It had an expansion team that couldn't win a game... until you picked against them. It had perennial favorites in last place throughout the season and unlikely heroes from cities like St. Louis and Tennessee. Tennessee?? As a wise man once said...
"Tennesseein' is Tennebelievin'!!" --Tim McKinney, wise man
We ended up with three winners that will split the pot. Three people were able to negotiate the entire season with only two losses, including picking Tennessee to upset Jacksonville and then St. Louis to win the Superbowl. If you were still alive, could you have done as much?
Other stats...
Longest survivor with no losses: Mag Dickshot, Week 8
What follows is a list of who we lost and when we lost 'em. This is where you can still come out a winner in the pool. Simply find someone you know that got eliminated before you and send out a bragging email. It's not 1400 dollars, but it'll feel good. If your name is NOT on this list, please contact me, you may have won the pool.

AND NOW, THE WINNERS OF THE 1999 FOOTBALL POOL...
VINCE COOK - KEVIN MOLLEN - NICOLE SULLIVAN
Each of these three walks away with 467 dollars. Not bad for a ten-dollar investment. Let's see you match that rate of return, Amazon.com. Plans, anyone?
"This money is going to a good cause: this wedding is going to be quite expensive for Rach and I -- honeymoon, wedding bands, etc -- so it will help quite a bit" --Champ Kevin Mollen
Boring.
"Vince smashed my car last Wednesday in the snow and we have a $500 deductible to pay off." --Patricia Cook, wife of Champ Vince Cook
Boring.
Maybe next season the winner will be YOU and you can spend the thousands of dollars on something with a little more flair to it. Picks are due Saturday, September 2, by DAWN. No exceptions.
Sundays are free again. Have a good off-season. Thank you for taking part in this madness. See you in 7 months.
