Hoss · Post by **Hoss** » Tue Dec 27, 2011 8:05 pm

Congrats to our week 16 winner, SkinsJock, with a very impressive 14-2 record. Rounding out the top five are: Hoss, andyjens89, Warmother and Redskin in Canada all with a 12-4 record.

This will be the final week before we crown our 2011 Hognostication Champion. It is still any one’s to win! Good luck my friends.

Pretty close race among the top four contenders.

This might be a very difficult week to Hognosticate because some teams will play substitutes but for how long and whom?

Interesting finale. Good luck to you all fellas.

I have been out of it for weeks now. I did not do my usual homework due to an excessive workload and it showed. Now, I only look forward to make the THN playoffs. [-o<

And last but perhaps most importantly:

Thank you Hoss. Great job keeping this annual tradition alive. It is the only event that has kept me interested in the NFL during the sad string of losing seasons and last places in the NFL East.

Thank you brother. I'm not going to lie, it was tough to do this year. It takes a lot of my time but I am glad that I did.

To you and everyone in this New Year......
May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest of your past. Cheers!

Why is everyone gushing over Hoss? All he does is post a blog, list the games, tally the results, add them to the standings, make corrections, do it for 17 + weeks, and then do it again year after year.

What's the big freakin' deal?? :hmm:

Since Hoss is probably filthy rich and has all sorts of free time, I guess it doesn't seem like that much.

Hoss - did you see the end of the Texan game? It came down to that. They scored a TD to get within 1, went for 2, jumped offside, went for 2 anyway, and snapped it over Delhomme's head!

Gotta admit, I was watching a stream, livin' and dyin' on every snap, and cheering wildly at the end.

Was going to need an amazing week, so I went for every upset. No one remembers if you finish #2 or #12.
