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.
