Sqweegel’s Office Pool Contest
Posted by Anthony E. Zuiker on
Jan 22, 2010
No, we’re not talking about a pool of blood. We’re talking about a good old fashion football pool. You probably don’t know this but Sqweegel is a huge football fan. Growing up, Sqweegel wanted nothing more than to play Varsity football. As a kid, he would watch the football games from the stands and picture himself in the ol’ blue and gold.
Considering his flexibility, he thought he would be a great elusive runner since he could probably contort himself out of any tackle. And finally, his opportunity came. He tried out for running back. In the end however, even his flexibility couldn’t put him over the top, and he was denied the coveted Varsity spot. It was probably because Sqweegel was the weird, flexible kid in the corner. (And it might have had something do with Sqweegel’s insistence on wearing a full-body white latex suit.) Sqweegel was left hurt and vengeful, thus beginning his entry into evil.
So here’s the contest for both the Deputies and the Community:
Submit the winner of the two NFL Conference Championship Games this weekend and provide the final scores to each game. The submission that is closest to what actually happened is the winner.
You must also provide your predictions AND the final score for the Super Bowl.
Here are the games this weekend:
Sunday, 1/24, 12:00 PM on CBS: Indianapolis Colts vs. N.Y. Jets
Sunday, 1/24, 3:30 PM on FOX: Minnesota Vikings vs. New Orleans Saints
Here’s an example submission:
Colts – 31
Jets – 7
Vikings – 24
Saints – 21
Super Bowl:
Colts – 27
Vikings – 14
Deputies: You must submit your predictions and scores by Saturday, 1/23 at 11:59 PM EST. Type them up in a blog and flag it as “cool.”
Community: Post your predictions and scores in the comment thread below. If you’re worried about other people copying you just go ahead and wait until the last minute and then post.
Deputies will have the Top 7 chosen and respective points awarded. The community will receive Sqweegel Awards.
We'll be announcing the winners of the Tarot Card caption contest early next week.
Deputies, let’s see if we can’t get everyone involved on this one! After this, we only have one more contest and so you know, the final judging will be left in the hands of the community.

Question - if the next contest is the last contest, assuming that will be this weekend (?)... then how do our Superbowl predictions come into play for this contest since the Superbowl is still another 2 weeks away?

Thank you everyone for your support for my friend... for those who had questions... it was premeditated because he took her to his horse stable to do it, and the children were not there, he did not do it in front of the children. My friend's uncle identified the body and currently has the children. The bastard was caught and will hopefully rot in prison. My friend and her family are only doing as well as can be expected after such a tragic loss. Even though you don't know her, I have known this girl and her family for 7 years and she is one of my best friends. I am glad I was with her when she got the news, but now we just need to pray for them and keep them in our thoughts to guide them through this struggle of trying to understand something so senseless.
