Hey Spider, Congratulations!!

Congrats to Jack for runner-up too!

Glad to see a couple of familiar names and good people taking home some hardware (well, figuratively anyway)!!

Keyzick, thanks for the note. My season should give hope to anyone who wants to join the "tour."

I was around 50th midway through the season, finished 33rd or 34th (short term memory problems here - I'm getting too old), made the Finals as a wildcard, and made the Finals playoffs only because another team lost their final game in the 14th inning - then hit a hot streak in the playoffs. Talk about luck!!

Spider

Well done, Champ!

Nice job, Spider. You are my hero.

Congratulations Spider!

Basically sounds like you used the stealthy Indian approach. You snuck up on everybody. Then you scalped their asses! That's always enyoyable. Good for you, man.

Its an honor and a thrill in this great SOM community.

Thanks for the mention, Bernie, and the congrats. Keyzick. Spider was tough in the final but the whole league was absolutely brutal. It was quite an accomplishment just getting to playoffs.

Anyway, appreciate the mention--Like Ricky Bobby, I figured "if ya' ain't first, yer last." Glad to know there is a consolation prize.

Thanks, again.

Jack

Well done Spider!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
