The 2014 NFL Season - Recap Posted by poolmeister on February 06 2015
Super Bowl XLIX...one of the better super bowls in recent memory. Unfortunately it was marred by a bad call by the Seattle Seahawks coach trying to pass from the 6 yard line with Marshawn Lynch ready and able to run it to give the Seahawks the win. As you might expect, the pass was intercepted and the New England Patriots won yet another Super Bowl. I don't know if it was a win by New England as much as it was a give away for the Seahawks. The record book reads the final score of New England 28 and Seattle 24 and that is the way it will stand.
Well, another year of Fred's Football Follies has come to an end and although there were some hiccups in the beginning of the season due in part to the new software being used to track the pool, I thought things went well as the season progressed. The new software allowed me to instantly import every player pick at one time saving me quite a bit of time. I expect that next year's version will have some other bells and whistles.
If you were lucky enough to win any money during the course of the year, congratulations to you and hope it will give you incentive to play again next year. I am also sending out my annual request to get some of your friends or co-workers to join the pool...the more players, the more money available to win.
I hope you had as much fun playing as I did running it and we will see you all in September.
Hey Fred, I haven’t played in the last few years but is this the first time we have had a winner before the Sunday night game even began ? If so, I’m sure it hasn’t happened too many times.
For the 20th year in a row, HHR has managed to win some money in the pool, the only player to do so. Click on the Most Won 2002-2021 link for details. Congratulations HHR!
