LARRY WILLIAMS CLAIMS BOOKIE POOL TITLE!

For the second consecutive year a Larry has won the pool with an all-or-nothing plus 6 bet, but this time it was Larry Williams. A missed two-point conversion preserved Larry's victory, and dashed Brian Starbuck's hopes of a miracle finish (click here for Larry's reaction to Reeves decision to go for two). Larry also won the % gain weekly payout by nailing the tie-breaker by submitting his pick as "Romanowski's number". Mike Tatum grabbed 2nd place for the second time in three years. Here are the Final Standings.

(Please be sure to check your stats and verify the money you have won. As in the past I will send the checks out next Monday to allow enough time to correct any mistakes in the incredibly unlikely chance that I made one!)

Here's the Final Season Pool Winners:

Also updated for your viewing pleasure are the Record Book and Career Statistics pages. The only season record broken was the worst tie-breaker aggregate average, by Mike Tatum, 22.14/game (shock!). The following new career marks were established: Brian Starbuck, best career tie-breaker aggregate average, 10.3/game; Sam Lay, best career +6 winning percentage, .351; Ken Jessop, worst career record percentage, .343; Mike Tatum, worst career tie-breaker aggregate average, 14.4/game; Larry Wales, worst career +6 winning percentage,  .174.
