Fellas,

A seventh year is in the books - another great year.  Rut, Canadians are celebrating all around the world today and playing chuck chuck.  You haven't placed top three since 2009, but no one can take a 'ship away from you... or your NFC South-like 5-7 regular season record.  

In all seriousness though, congrats Rut Ro.  You've cemented your spot in immortality as a Competitive Balance champ.

To the second place finisher bones- one bad week 15 screwed you.  Clearly had the most dominant team this year.

Finally, some Bond 007 GoldenEye awards in our seven year history:
-Marksmanship Award (most championships): Heane (2) 
-Most Deadly (top 3 finishes): tie between yours truly, Scotty, and Bones (4)
-Most Cowardly (0 playoff appearances): tie between Roland and Bryce
-Most Frantic (last place finishes): Crane (2)

A couple things I wanted to bring up:

1) We had zero trades this year.  Not a good sign of the health of the league.

2) We should hammer out any changes to the league NOW, while it's fresh, instead of being lazy and trying to do it before the season, which we all know won't happen.   

One Idea I would like to  suggest having a boobie prize for the last place finisher.  We can get creative with the punishment, (e.g. loser has to write into the '07 class news that he got a sex change) or we can make it monetary (e.g. loser has to pay the winner of the consolation bracket the $50).  I think first we vote on whether or not there is a boobie prize.  If it passes, then we vote on what the boobie prize is.  I feel pretty strongly about this - it keeps EVERYONE involved throughout all 16 games and adds some good clean fun to the league.  We could have a lot of fun with it if we go the creative punishment.


Scotty

Scotty - great email.

1. I agree on the trades, but i think if we keep everything in terms of settings etc. 2 keepers is also great - only slightly penalizes people who dont prepare for that. 

2. boobie prize is great - last place (tie breaker by points) should have to pay something extra or fly to any city in the US picked by the winner and spend the weekend alone. Something crazy

Thanks guys! I'll be the first to admit that I got pretty lucky...I'm in for the boobie prize. Can the weekend alone include Tinder?

That's what winners do Paul, you should know this.

Loser has to get bombed on a Saturday night and attend 3 separate church services the next morning, one if which is in an all black community.

Mules,

Reminder to guys who haven't yet paid for the league to do so. Here's the link to the site https://espn.tilt.com/campaigns/competative-balance . Rut was the winner, followed by the Bonus and Scotty. Let's wrap this up so we can all focus on laying heavy on the Pats in the big game.

Here's the list of guys who have paid so far-
Scotty
Roland
Hean
Bonus 
Myself
Roland
Richard

Rut, I don't think you'll need to pay since you're getting money back, but not exactly sure how that Tilt website handles payouts. Bones, check on that when you get a second.

Sounds like we will have a TBD boobie prize next year. My vote is for having to wear a bodysuit reenact a music video to some pop song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v24i9XTJq0

Have a good weekend boys,
Forsythe

Yup fee is $100. Although smitty don't send rut a check directly, we used that Tilt website this year so the money has to go through that

Cool.  If there's a way to deduct my winnings for next year's payment can you do that?  If not no worries.

Crane, Cohen, and Smitty send me 100 via Venmo or Paypal:


What is the payouts?

Winner gets 800, 2nd 300, and 3rd 100? 

If that is right, i will send the 700 of 800 we have collected already to rut and then send 100 to the third place.

Thanks Bonai.  Did we ever reach a consensus on a boobie prize for last place in the league?  Do people even give any fucks?

i am interested in discussing boobie prizes. I like the idea of having to fly to some remote location and spend the weekend.

I agree with implementing a boobie prize, and like the idea flying someone to a remote location for the weekend.  Also we could have the last place person be pegged in the face by a subway footlong tuna fish sub, and post the video to facebook/instragram, or distribute to the group via e-mail at a minimum.  Not sure that everyone here skis, but make them ski down a mountain in a speedo after the season is over.  Just spit balling.

Has anyone been able to confirm if Kevin Corley was indeed raised by wolves?
