WEEK SIXTEEN REPORT
(Super Bowl)
   
Congratulations to the 1999 Super Bowl champion: The Pussy Willows !
    
It came down to the wire on Monday night, but The Pussy Willows held off Jo-Boo's Browns Backers for a 104-98 victory. Trailing by 36 points as they entered the final game of the week, the Browns Backers needed 37 points from the WR duo of Tony Martin and Wayne Chrebet. And, they almost pulled off a miracle! But as fate would have it, they could not get the extra points in the final minutes of the game, and the Browns Backers had to settle for a 2nd place finish.
 
With the victory, The Pussy Willows capped off an impressive seven-game winning streak to win their first ever league title. After a 3-6 start to the regular season, it did not look like they would even make the playoffs. Funny how things turn out, isn't it?
  
This is what the final playoff bracket looks like:

I also calculated this year's total transaction fees. We have not yet earmarked how these funds will be utilized, and they will not be due until next year at the draft (unless you choose to have League Treasurer Mike Kelso deduct them from any winnings). Here is what each team owes:

This was the first year we charged fees per transaction, and you may find it interesting that the teams with the most transactions had corresponding higher final rankings. Eddie, I guess it doesn't always pay to be a Stein!
  
Thanks to all teams for participating this year, and hopefully all ten squads will be back for next year! The draft will be early in September, so don't make any Year 2000 Labor Day travel plans if you can help it!
