NFL Survivor Pool

Welp, another NFL regular season has wrapped and this year’s pool has come to an end.

I wasn’t able to watch the early games but did get to listen to the Eagles pregame radio show as they kept me updated on the scores of other games. Week 17 sure was interesting, if only for the pure total of improbable upsets and almost-upsets. I’m not going through every one, but two probably made eight of our remaining players very nervous: The Falcons needed late-game heroics to pull out of a 24-24 tie early in the 4th quarter against the 2-14 Rams, and after being tied 14-14, the Packers finally woke up in the final quarter to make the Lions the first 0-16 team in the NFL.

So the final tally is ten winners, each winning $277.50. The winners will be contacted via email shortly.

This will be the last blog post of 2008. Look for an email announcement for 2009 to be sent out sometime in late July or early August.

I started using an email distribution list for the announcement this year, so if you received that announcement and/or you played in this year’s pool, you are already on the list (unless you already unsubscribed).

If you want to be added to the distribution list, you can subscribe by visiting: http://zebrapool.com/mailman/listinfo/announce_zebrapool.com

There’s been some talk in previous blog posts about altering some aspects of the game to avoid multiple winners in future years. Some of you have presented your own ideas on the topic. Feel free to continue to contribute your suggestions by adding comments to either this or other blog posts; I will take them all into consideration when I reevaluate the rules for next year.

That’s all. Toodles!
