Tier 5: The No-Shows

12. Panthro (aka Brad): 47 points, 0 weeks won
11. Gomer (aka Dustin): 359 points, 0 weeks won

Fraternity brothers who apparently got bored with the NFL. Brad picked Week 1, and then got distracted by, I'm going to go ahead and guess Japanese tentacle porn. SOMEBODY GET HIM A BLANKET! Dustin picked through  Week 7, and then he, too, disappeared.

Tier 4: The Professors of Fail

10. Plaxico's Gun Holster (aka Jesse, aka me): 908 points, 0 weeks won
9. Particle Men (aka Rick): 926 points, 1 week won
8. Stock Brokers (aka Daytrader): 930 points, 1 week won

This group represents, by my estimation, 18+ years of higher education. Apparently none of it involved picking winners in football games. At least student loan holders don't break your thumbs if you miss a payment!

Tier 3: I'll Still Respect You In The Morning

7. I heart football (aka Sister Rose): 945 points, 0 weeks won
6. JaMichael (aka Yaworm): 955 points, 1 week won
5. Plaxico's Sweatpants (aka Fat Tony): 965 points, 2 weeks won

This group didn't quite make it to a .500 record on their picks, but didn't poop all over themselves either. Plus, I think one of them might have been using a random number generator.

Tier 2: The 1000+ Point Club

4. Punt Party (aka Greg): 1,022 points, 3 weeks won
3. Michael Vick's Rape Stand (aka the Suze): 1,053 points, 4 weeks won
2. MinicooperChickGoPats (aka Selma): 1,115 points, 3 weeks won

I can't believe that neither Selma or the Suze won this. Selma visited for a week before Thanksgiving, and that's when I found out that she did actual research for this! Unfortunately, part of that research included reading Daytrader's picks column, which likely held her back from the ultimate prize.

The Suze won the most weeks AND had the most correct overall picks, going 138-115. She was hampered by her Week 15 performance, in which she correctly picked 4 games that she neglected to put any points on. However, even that would not have been enough to overcome the insurmountable lead of...

Tier 1: The Champion

1. Brett Farve is the Antichrist (aka Jim): 1,132 points, 2 weeks won

That's right, ladies and gentlemen: the winner of our NFL pick league does not know how to spell Brett Favre's last name. Truly, this is the sport of kings.
