CSC Prediction Contest Award Ceremony

I finally got around to tabulating the entire season's worth of weekly game prediction contests. I know what you're going to ask me...why didn't I just keep track as each week went along? That's a great question to which I have no answer. Food for thought next season I guess.
Anyway, the results are in and we've got some awards to hand out! This year each winner will receive a free copy of Peter King's book, Monday Morning Quarterback, a collection of his weekly pieces for Sports Illustrated. I know many of us aren't crazy about his ability to predict game winners but you can't deny that his writing offers valuable insight into the more human side of the sport and a side many of us never get to see. Winners must email me an address to send the book.
Without further ado, I present this years winners.
Our first award, called Mr. Consistency, is given to the member who earned the most total nominations over the course of the season. And the winner is...
nanvinnie - 6
Philinwood - 5
coldpizza - 4
Monkey Poop Battle - 4
Nate W - 4
Congratulations to nanvinnie for making it to the final vote each week an impressive six times.
Our next award, called Mr. Popularity, is given to the member who earned the most votes over the course of the season. And the winner is...
saints-nation - 181
nolanative - 171
Philinwood - 108
Monkey Poop Battle - 96
coldpizza - 75
bondcrash - 74
Congratulations to saints-nation for being so loved.
Our final award is for Best in Show, given to the member who won the most weekly prediction contests. And our winner is...
*saints-nation - 2
bondcrash - 2
It's a tie! Since saints-nation had more total votes, he would win the tie-break(*) and technically be our winner. But since he's already won, bondcrash deserves the prize. Congratulations to both of you.

What about
total number of correct predictions? Back to the grind!
"Reality leaves a lot to the imagination." --J.O.L.
I am definitely going to participate in this next season.
And I will predict an onside kick in every game.
I'd like to thank
God, my friends, family, the sponsors, CSC, Dave, Garrett Hartley… I know I’m forgetting some people. My wife, my baby that’s on the way…. Oh and of course the fans. Without you none of this would be possible. These awards wouldn’t be as sweet in lieu of a SuperBowl, but in addition to they’re big time.
Seriously, though, thanks for all the love!
no
I will not desecrate such an glorious item with such a horrendous marking

Repeat!
Bring the wood

I've gotta step up my psychic vibes next season.
Snap, place, kick! And it's good! It's good! It's goo-hoo-hood! Pigs have flown! Hell Has frozen over! The Saints are going to the Superbowl!

Me too
I couldn’t predict much of anything this past season. I did well in the CSC pick em pool, but couldn’t predict much about a game other than Brees throwing a TD pass and other sure-thing prognostications. I guess my crystal balls got a little hazy.

Dang! My tux is at the cleaners
Let me just slip on my tuxedo shirt…
There! Now I’m ready. Can someone send a waiter my way? I need a round of beers and shots of beam for me and my whole table here in the back of the ballroom.
Good Job, Dave! Thanks much for your work on this…even though I never even came close to getting any of my predictions right, I enjoyed the contest each week.
Week One of 2010 can’t come soon enough!

wait...
peter king’s book as a prize? seriously? does it at least include KSK-style commentary? if not, that’s just cruel…
haha
I was waiting for someone to crack a joke
