        "Welcome to the final posting for The Football Club 2004-- All-Stars Edition.  As I'm sure you noticed, we have a new club champion named Papa Rickster.  But as you may not know, this was the closest finish in Football Club history, as three different players battled for the championship right down to the end.  Papa Rickster won the title with an amazing season, which included his unforgettable feat of the Perfect Week.  That's something that has never been done before and we will probably never see again.  I don't think Papa Rickster or anyone else realized just how close things would turn out, and two important factors came to light once all the games were finished.  First of all, Papa Rickster could not have won the title without the St. Louis Rams victory over the New York Jets.  This is because a New York Jets victory would have given Inspector Clouseau the Super Bowl victory over Sugar n Spice, thus earning him 2 extra bonus points and propelling him into First Place by 1 Point.  Secondly, Papa Rickster could not have won the title without the Tennessee Titans victory over the Detroit Lions.  This is because a Detroit victory would have cost both Papa and Inspector 5 Points and would have given Sugar n Spice an additional 5 Points, thus propelling her into First Place by 1 Point.  That's how close things were, but in the end the games fell Papa Rickster's way, and he flew off into the sunset as our 2004 Club Champion.

        The Super Bowl Tournament also wrapped up this week in amazing style, as Sugar n Spice defeated Inspector Clouseau 24-23 to become this year's winner.  This match was so close, as both players made really good picks, but one game settled it all.  When St. Louis beat the New York Jets, Sugar n Spice had the edge because Inspector dropped 3 Points with Quadruple Jeopardy.  I remember when I first called Sugar n Spice from Death Valley to collect her picks, she had them all ready and turned them in.  After hearing what she was picking I thought to myself, "wow, she's going to win."  And it was extremely close, but she did prevail and walks out of the Super Bowl Tournament as the last person standing and the winner out of a field of sixteen players.  That's an amazing accomplishment Sugar, and you should be proud of what you have done!  Along the way she defeated four very good players-- 2 time Super Bowl runner-up Inspector Clouseau, division rival Mr. Ineffective, Comets teammate Strawberry Shortcake, and the dangerous Unknown Artist.

        We have a very important announcement for all club members.  The Football Club management is happy to announce our official season ending party, awards, & trophy presentations, which will be held on Saturday night January 22nd at 7:00 PM.  All current and former club members and their family members are invited to attend, as we will have food, drinks and prizes to be given out.  Even if you aren't receiving a trophy or award for this season, please attend the gathering as it will be a great opportunity to hang out with this year's club members.  Please put it on your calendar, and even if you can only stop by for 15 minutes we'd appreciate it.  It will also be an opportunity to make alliances and form Pro Bowl teams for next season.  The Football Club First Annual Party will be held at my house here in Sonoma, please e-mail or call me to let me know whether or not you will be able to make it.  Will you be there to see Papa Rickster accept his Club Championship trophy?  Many other players from the list above will also be receiving awards or trophies.  We'll see you there.--Anakin
