Unlike Joe, Paul's team did not come up big when he needed it, eeking out just over 100 points in a victory over Nick. For Paul it was a good year, he finishes third in the overall standings and second in points after holding the lead in the latter for much of the year. For Nick, it was a disappointing 10th place finish for what was probably a better roster on paper that the record shows.
Our champion, Dan Todd, lost his second straight game after a record 14 straight wins as Chris unleashed Jamaal Charles (late first round pick next year perhaps?) in defeating Dan. Chris' rookie campaign was a positive one finishing 8-9 but being one of only 4 owners to crack the 2000-point barrier. And in the end, he is vindicated for decision to draft MJD first overall.
The "Other Dan," as he likes to call himself after shaking off the "Antwaan Daniel L" monkier given him earlier this year, closed out a 9-8 campaign with a win over Mike. Dan was in contention much of the earlier portion of the year but started to slide in the second half, probably with help from an "ooga booga" from Tom. Mike's team, hurt by injured starters like Brian Westbrook but bolstered by sleepers like Fred Jackson and Mike Sims-Walker, finished a disappointing 11th overall and last in total points scored.
Marc's worst ever campaign came to a merciful end with yet another loss as Eddie eeked out a win behind Jason Snelling. Marc entered the season with the highest career winning percentage in league history but finished butt-naked last. Eddie's 8-9 record was good for 7th place but he hopes for better results in the coming season. Both did win one weekly prize.
The voodoo spirits were not in Tom's corner this year, nor were they in the last week of the season, as Jeremie's one-man wrecking crew Brett Favre did him in. A second fourth-place finish in three years for Jeremie, who put up the highest score of the year with a 180+ point effort in Week 12. Tom, our 2004 champion, was one of three owners finishing 8-9.
Overall it was another memorable season. Congrats to Dan T., our first back-to-back records champion, and to Uncle Joe, the 2009 points titleholder. Have a great summer everyone!

THE "POOP LIST"
No one made the poop list this week or this season. There were a couple inactive guys that made their way onto people's rosters but things are really screwy in the last week of the season, so no one will be penalized.
Again, congratulations to Dan Todd, our 2009 records champion, and Uncle Joe Shindelus, our 2009 points champion!
