Site News: We Have Our Super Bowl Prop Bet Winners, Finally

Posted by Dan Levy.

Folks, sorry it took almost a week to get this figured out but we’ve finally gotten our prop bet winners for our Super Bowl contest. You can thank/blame Jimmy Traina at SI’s Hot Clicks for making me sift through hundreds upon hundreds of entries. Oh, and to those of you who filled out a poll without putting your name or email address…you are idiots. It’s a contest. How the hell am I supposed to figure out who you are if you won?

Idiots. 117 of you are idiots. You know what else? The 17 people who filled out the FAKE FORM I put up after the game started with CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS that the contest had ended and the form was just there as a reference…you aren’t just idiots but I can only assume are cheating idiots. I mean, seriously, folks, read the damn directions.

Now to celebrate those who didn’t just get called an idiot: Nick ended up with 15 correct answers, meaning that you needed to score 16 or higher to be eligible for some prize. That being said, it took me most of the week to figure out a fair tie-breaker for those of you who did score 16, as we mentioned in the original post, we were capping the prizes at 25. Remember this was more about a fun contests and less about winning something, right? RIGHT. But the top 25 will all get something, if you want it.

I’m going to be emailing you today if you’re a winner. I’d like to congratulate Anthony Debarberie who got 21 answers right and crushed the competition. There were three valid entries with 18 correct, nine with 17 correct and a host of you with 16 correct. For those with 16, the tiebreakers were in this order: picking the winner, picking the over/under correct and then, in ridiculous fashion, heads or tails.

If you had 16 and you didn’t get a prize because of the arbitrary nature of the tiebreaker, please send your complaint, in the form of a lawsuit, to the NFL offices in New York and they will reimburse you with tickets to any Super Bowl you want.

Thanks, and congrats.

Oh, and we’ll be back on Tuesday. Have a nice weekend and a great Valentine’s Day, folks.
