IT'S FINALLY OVER

Unbelievable. Unfathomable. Intolerable.
The 2009 NFL Eliminizer has been called due to lack of regular season schedule.

First, we congratulate John Lin for making an incredible 16 correct picks in a row, only to see the Denver Broncos get blown out by the Chefs, even with a playoff spot on the line.



Note that there is no mention of a prize of any kind. The Eliminizer is a heartless monster.

Then, in a scenario that defies all Eliminizer convention and design, Erik Hedges and Aaron Stein both ran the entire NFL regular season schedule, invoking a Chicken Index comparison.

With a Chicken Index of -214.5 ( -12.6 per game ), I present:

Aaron Stein 2003 Eliminizer Champion 2009 NFL Eliminizer Champion, Cowardly

Aaron is awarded 25% of the pot, or 212.50 CAD.





Finally, it causes me tremendous pain to announce that your big winner -- with a Chicken Index of -199 ( -11.7/game ) -- is none other then:

Hedges 2005 CFL Eliminizer Champion 2009 NFL Eliminizer Champion, With Valour

Erik is awarded 75% of the pot, or 637.50 CAD.






Now you can all enjoy the playoffs, without the 2009 NFL Eliminizer looming over you.
Thanks for playing, everyone.
