NerdBowl 07 Wrap-up

I wanted to thank everybody who participated in the NerdBowl this year. It was a tough year for some but great for others; a year of upsets and surprises.

Coming in 1st place.... Evil E!
She didn't seem to have too great of a handle on who the hell she was picking at first, but once she got going she kept up a good team that was strong enough to take the win. Her star performer might have to be Adrian Peterson, the very last pick in the draft who turned out to be a week-winner when healthy.

2nd place... Rox the Sox
The stranger from another land met with bad luck in the start. Despite consistently being a contender for the 2nd most points, she had a knack of losing high-scoring affairs. However, she persevered and blasted by the commish with confidence to make the battle for first a high-octane, high-estrogen affair.

3rd place... Commissioner Jib
Early on I appeared to be unstoppable, losing my first game with Cooley's bye and then my next with Brady's bye, but the magic of those two couldn't keep me invincible forever. I maintained the longest winning streak during the season but slipped to second place in the last week and fell in the first round of the playoffs.

4th place... The Bastards
Notable for their amazing comeback at the end of the season. Going into week 10 The Bastards were in dead last without any hint of coming back but then staged a miraculous playoff drive that netted them a berth on week 15.

Honorable Mention... Red Devils
I don't know what happened to Red but his team just tanked on him. He went from battling for third to not even making the playoffs and then losing to Fisher's unmanned ship of a team in the consolation playoffs. In fact, yahoo doesn't even register Red as finishing the season in 6th place, he just falls off the chart.

Dishonorable Mention... Fisher's Favorites
Somewhere throughout the season we seem to have lost Fisher. At least, I hope so, because I don't know who would consistently play a team stocked with injured players and players on bye. Despite this, however, he still managed to beat Red...

See you all next year in NerdBowl '08!!!1!w00t!!pwn!!1!

Yeah I'll be honest that I completely forgot that the Nerd Bowl existed because I don't use Yahoo for crap so I never bothered to check it. If it had been on my google homepage or something I'd have been much more diligent about it. Sorry, hopefully I'll get my shit in gear next year :)
