Subject: RhitTaker Bowl

For those interested in the final total, Kurt beat me 252-163. Congratulations to Kurt on his first title. I wish to thank my players, most notably the Bear Brothers and Clinton Portis, for yet another successful season. In 11 RhitTaker seasons, we now have 4 titles, 6 RhitTaker Bowl appearances, and 9 playoff appearances in a league that only features 3 playoff teams per year.

We, at the Bear Brothers, do apologize for our performance this weekend. The fans were expecting the greatest RhitTaker Bowl of all-time. We finished the regular season on a 7-game winning streak, averaging over 250 points per game, and then put up 322 in the semi-finals, so this 163 comes as quite a shock to us. After all, we hadn't been under 200 since the 3rd week of the season. But, hey, it's RhitTaker, and sometimes rhit happens. It's just one game, and it shouldn't take away from the tremendous season we've had. One could argue that our second-half performance was the most dominating performance that RhitTaker has ever seen. But a fifth title just wasn't in the cards.

The question now, is where Kurt fits in the scheme of things at RhitTaker. Obviously, one season doesn't put him at the top. My accomplishments will stand as the measuring stick for greatness for quite some time to come. But where does Kurt compare to the other members? Bob has obviously won a few titles, but at least a couple of them don't have the same luster as other RhitTaker titles, as they were gained by ripping off the likes of Jarrod Grunda. None of the other RhitTaker elite has ever won a single title. Deryal and Brad have combined for 7 RhitTaker Bowl appearances, but 0 titles. We anticipate, that when the RhitTaker Sportsbook releases its odds for 2003, that Kurt will be the 2nd favorite to win the RhitTaker Bowl. Our guess at the order: 1) Karl 2) Kurt 3) Deryal 4) Greg 5) Bob.

The thing that sticks out is four-time champ Bob only being ranked fifth. But the consensus has always been, that in a strong league, with no weak links to pick on, that Bob is middle of the pack, at best. And in the strongest league in RhitTaker's history, Bob had a terrible year, and got ripped off himself, by a rookie. Coincidence? We'll see. Anyway, Deryal didn't look like a #3 team this year, but in his 5-year RhitTaker history, that was the first time he didn't make the playoffs. Only my playoff percentage is better than that, for teams that have been in RhitTaker more than 1 season. Greg is obviously working his way up the food chain, and could have a bit of a bulls eye on his chest next year.

Anyway, congratulations once again to Kurt, and we'll see you at the awards banquet.
