Oh, well: finished the season tied for 33rd spot in the AoSHQ pool. If the Vikings had developed the habit of covering the spread, I’d have finished at least ten spots higher in the pool. I’m reminded of the very first football pool I ever entered (I won third prize, which slightly more than repaid my weekly contributions): the winner knew almost nothing about football but she decided her picks based on the colour of the teams’ uniforms or the interest she had in visiting the two competing cities. I should say also that she won in a walk: several points ahead of the number two player who was a football fanatic (I don’t know if he ever really got over the loss).<\/p>\n
