Week 16 MVP Award Winner –
MJD Hogg (34 Points)
MJD Hogg absolutely crushed the picks once again as he scored 34 Points to claim the Week 16 MVP Award. This was MJD’s fourth MVP Award of the season, which matches Captain Jack Sparrow’s league-leading total. Both players will now be competing over the next two weeks to try to equal Slick Chick’s Hall of Fame record of 5 MVP Awards in One Season, which has only happened once in 24 years. Can MJD Hogg or Captain Jack Sparrow make club history and tie Slick Chick’s Hall of Fame record? We will soon find out. MJD’s monster week happened because he made some absolutely brilliant picks that very few other club members saw coming. For instance, he was 1 of only 4 to correctly bail on the Autopicker and pick Seattle (along with Hoosier Daddy, Drummer Boy & Fearless Tuna). He was also 1 of only 4 to correctly pick the twin upset Double Stakes of Carolina & Tennessee (along with NYC Sewer Rat, Nighthawk & Mr. T). And he was only 1 of only 2 players to correctly pick all three Point Spread games correct (along with Hoosier Daddy). Add to that getting both Games of the Week and the Sunday night game correct, and it resulted in a huge week that nobody came close to matching. MJD Hogg now stands a mere 2 Points away from 1st Place. Let’s see if he can rev up the General Lee and jump over the Black Pearl next week. The Week 16 MVP Award Runner-Up was Bob Swerski, who scored 29 Points. Bob is playing hard as the season winds down, determined to build up some strong momentum heading into next season. He now has 1 MVP and 1 MVP Runner-Up this season. Half of the club (9 players) still have not won an MVP Award this season. I guess it’s kind of hard to win one when Captain Jack Sparrow and MJD Hogg are hogging them all. The race for 1st Place has tightened up considerably and we are going to have a very close finish over the final two weeks of the season. In 1st Place we have Captain Jack Sparrow, who has 4 MVP Awards and 9 Weeks at #1. Only 2 Points behind him, in 2nd Place we have MJD Hogg, who has 4 MVP Awards and 5 Weeks at #1. Only 5 Points out of 1st, in 3rd Place we have Drummer Boy, who has 2 MVP Awards and 1 Week at #1. A bit farther back, 4th Place Double-Double (19 Points back) & 5th Place Stinkerbell (20 Points back) are only separated in the standings by 1 Point. Currently just outside of the Top Five are Captain Insano and Rad Dad, looking to make their move and boot others out. All of this is leading up to an unpredictable and fantastic finish. Until proven otherwise, I consider Drummer Boy to be the favorite to win the Club Championship. Keep reading below to see AI’s commentary on the Super Bowl Tournament & Pro Bowl Tournament finals.
