Announcements:

            The sixteenth annual Tidy Bowl turned out to be little more than a formality.  The Cass County Wiley Coyotes dominated the league from the start this season, and capped it off with a 63-20 drubbing of the Asian Mafia for the championship.  In fact, the Coyotes’ overall record of 13-2 (.867) is the second-best win/loss percentage in league history, bested only by the Yoder Dame Fighting Amish in 2001, who went 13-1-2 (.875).

            Sadly, on the bus ride back to Cass County, tragedy struck the Wiley Coyotes when they were flagged down by a wayward roadrunner, who proceeded to drop an anvil on star quarterback Tom Brady.  A wrongful death lawsuit is pending against the Acme Anvil Company.

            In the consolation game, the Las Vegas Slots redeemed themselves with a nailbiting 37-36 squeaker over the Offshore Boilermakers, who are still looking for their first postseason win since 1996.

            Thanks to everyone for another great season!  As a bonus, I will be updating the rosters next week with all of the NFL scoring from week #17, to aid you in planning for which players to protect going into next year’s draft.  Keep an eye on your email for information about the date and place for the year-end awards presentation, which is also [pay attention here!] an official league meeting, and as such may involve discussion of rule changes and other various and sundry matters.  Most likely the date will be the week after the Super Bowl.

            Hope everyone had a terrific Christmas, and I trust everyone will have a happy and safe New Year, despite all the crappy bowl game matchups and the lack of any true contender for the mythical National Championship.  See you all in the fall!
