Larry
Allen Nabs 2nd Bookie Pool Title!
It was all-or-nothing for Larry Allen, who bet
the farm on the Giants and came away with another Bookie Pool title
to go with his 1997 ring a decade ago. Paul Alaimo
finished 2nd after a great run, Fred Williams finished
3rd, and Bill Willis snuck in to the 4th spot despite
being 11th overall going into the conference championship games.
BIll tied Neal Fausset in total play money, but
won 4th place by virtue of a better winning percentage. Here are
the Final Standings and Career
Statistics. I have also updated the Photo
Album to include all photos of the past.
For the 2nd consecutive year Brad Augustine won
best percentage for plus 6 games. Bill Willis won
the tie-breaker pool for the 3rd time in his career.

In Hall of Fame news, for the
third straight year the winning percentage single season record
was beaten, this time by Fred Williams whose .739
percentage surpassed Neal Faussett's .705 set last
year. Larry Allen overtook Nan Batchelor
for most real money won in a season by 1 dollar, and also
overtook Al Buddy for most play money won in a
career ($27,200). In Hall of Lame
news, Al Buddy overtook John Lyon
for worst career aggregate tie-breaker.
Wolfman Mundy's Corner: Pat has a message for 2nd place
Paul Alaimo: "You look like #2, you clap like #2, and you smell
like #2!", for which Paul responded: "I must be more near-sighted
than I thought, since I can't see that far down to the bottom of
the football pool. How is the view from the bottom up?"
Note from Commissioner:
Here's the credit list showing
how much you have coming, and how much you will owe next year. As
in past years, if you have under $63 in winnings, unless
I hear from you I'm going to assume you want it credited toward
next year. If you have over $63, I'm going to subtract
the $63 fee for next year and send you the balance. If you have
a balance owed you, please either send me your address so I can
mail you a check, or let me know if I can send it to your email
address via PayPal. The commissioner's preferred method for both
receiving and sending payments is PayPal.
As in past years, I will wait about a week before sending payments,
in case any errors are found in the Final Standings.
Thanks everyone, and hope to see y'all next year!
