In record-setting fashion, Greg the Great captured his 6th Hewes Super Bowl Trophy with the recent New England Patriot victory over the pass-happy Seattle Seahawks.  The 6 trophies tied him with Henrico FiveOh and 2015 Winner, and is his first in 6 years.

In the first year of the expanded competition (8 participants) Greg the Great’s margin of victory was a scant 69 points over Ben the Butler, who had his best season with 991 points, the 2nd highest all-time.  This year also marked the first time a participant earned over 1,000 points (1,060).

Final standings for HSBT27 are as follows:

• Greg the Great – 1,060 points (1st)
• Ben the Butler – 991 points (2nd), with lowest variance of 11.45 per game
• Comeback Kid – 735 points (3rd ), getting the trophy engraved and ready for shipment to the west coast
• Buffalo Bill – 690 points (4th), who held a commanding lead thru the 1st 2 rounds of the playoffs but just couldn’t put the nail in the coffin for win #4
• 2015 Winner – 536 points (5th), a sub-par performance for the 6-time winner will make him all that better next season
• Henrico FiveOh – 496 points (6th), 166 total points in the last 3 games spelled his doom
• Pete the Terp – 425 points (7th), just off the mark this season
• JTB – 267 points (8th), a reasonable start for the newest participant with obvious work to be done in the off-season
• Nobody won the Super Bowl Bonus Points

SUPER BOWL ANALYSIS
Greg the Great stated it best with 2 words: “Why pass?”  Everyone is still wondering.  This bitter loss will sting for several seasons.  Not sure who is the best quarterback of all time, but nobody has played the game better than Tom Brady.  From Deflated to Elated.

Enjoy the rest of winter.  SB50 is 50 weeks away…
