Participants,

I would have gotten this out to you earlier but the power went off for a while…  What a great Super Bowl, huh!!  Just when we thought the Ravens were going to win by a score like 52-10, we got an unexpected 34 minute break and the 49’ers came out with enough focused energy to light the Superdome for the rest of the game!  Another great finish with the game on the line at the very end.  Congrats to the Ravens for that goal-line stand and the SB47 trophy.

More importantly, if you weren’t able to check our website during the game, here are the final results for the Hewes Super Bowl Trophy:

• Buffalo Bill went big with the 49’ers in a route, 35-13.  Sometimes those big bets win the trophy and sometimes they don’t.  Unfortunately, this time it didn’t work and Buffalo Bill ends up in 6th place with 216 points.
• Comeback Kid had the Ravens in a upset (30-21) and was in the lead for the trophy until deep in the 4th quarter.  Nice all-around effort this year with 691 points, putting him in 2nd place.
• Henrico FiveOh also picked the Ravens, but in a more conservative offensive fashion, with a final tally of 24-20.  He held the top spot during the 1st half, but that Jacoby Jones 108-yard kickoff return for a TD to start the 2nd half dashed his hopes for a repeat.  He finished with 596 points, good for 3rd place.
• Greg the Great, like Buffalo Bill, had a long climb to victory and by necessity bet on a high scoring game, with the 49’ers winning 43-37.  His 80 points were not far off the actual 65 points and he ended up in 5th place with 321 points.
• Ben the Butler was on injured reserve this season and we hope he makes a quick comeback like Adrian Peterson.  We’re looking forward to having him back in the competition next year.
• Pete the Terp, the Baltimore resident and Raven fan, failed to pick the Ravens to win in each of their 4 playoff games.  He also predicted a low scoring SB and his hopes for the trophy were dashed early on.  A 4th place finish, with 435 points, just missing the bronze chicken wing.
• 2013 Winner was the 2013 Winner, with a leading 256 points in the SB game and a total of 805 points for the playoffs.  This marks 3 trophies in the last 4 years for him.

I’ll be updating all the stats and other info on the website over the next few weeks.  It was a fun playoff season with a lot of upsets (4 of the 11 games were won by the underdog).  I hope everyone has a great 2013!
