Thanks for running this slam.  It was fun.  Good luck in the championship!!!
A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.

Never count experience out.  Peyton.  Oldest (most experienced) quarterback to Win the Superbowl!  Prediction in.  Going to a superbowl party to cheer him in.  BTW...leftovers have gotten me this far, slam, and everyone else's bad luck, which I expect to continue.  Good Luck...errrr...good Newton in the finals.

leftovers worked for me last year TB.  Certainly didn't win based on any skills I had for making picks.

Good luck to you both, and thanks for keeping up with it this year, Slam ... hoping my recording schedule is a bit lighter next fall so I can be back at it, but that's what I thought LAST year, lol. I can't take sides as your both friends, (though TB is a "real life" friend as well), so just hoping for a fun game, as opposed to last week's - ugh! :)

wow, talk about immediate turnaround on TPs.  Thanks TB  -- TP back at ya for all the TPs you've doled out for us.
yw.   just lucky timing.  now, if you really want to pay me back....a Superbowl win for me would be nice.....

considering I backed into the championship last year until the superbowl, I think you have a fair shot with Peyton (not that I'm saying you couldn't take someone other than Cam ;) ) since I'm no rocket scientist with my picks.

look at it this way, Panthers could go up big very early.  they just run the ball so Cam doesn't have much yardage and as a result Peyton has to throw a lot.  Panthers still win the bowl but Peyton has the most yardage.  wouldn't surprise me in the least.
seems like it worked in reverse TB -- Cam racked up yardage playing catchup.

congrats to everyone on a great season.  hope to see everyone back for next year.  Kudos to my very worthy opponent and friend TB for winning the Super Bowl (but allowing me to win PAP)

Congratulations, Slam, on winning 2016 PAPTYG!  I feel like I have won anyway, I am so happy that Peyton and the Broncos won the game.  It has been a fun season, and you have done a great job administering this Blog game.

People forget that 2 yeArs ago Peyton threw for a ton of yards in the 43-8 loss to Seattle too.  He just couldn't put it in the end zone.
Yup

thanks Bahku -- I was just the inadequate monkey running the board in comparison to all those who ran kept this going before me.  Hope people had some fun with this.  hope I (or a better candidate like an actual monkey) can run it again next year -- maybe with actual TP payouts -- haven't had those for a couple of sessions.
