What if a person changes their favorite team mid-season and then goes on to win the Superbowl and the pool?

How about the Traitor award for the person who sucessfully picks against his own favorite team to his benefit?

Best picture award - this will entice some of the scruffier pool particpants to send in better pictures that don't look like the paparazzi caught them in an off moment (Jeremy is an action shot isn't it - haven't seen it enough this year to really be sure though)

and "Best Pick of the Year"?

If you change your favorite team during the season, you are disqualified for that season (and should probably be disqualified forever).

I like the Traitor Award. I might add it. Best and Worst Picks of the Year are good as well.

All blog pictures are pictures I find on my own. You might want to delete all the embarrassing pictures on your Facebook account. Or have I already saved them?

Patrick is well on his way to winning the Comments Award.

Actually, I probably have the most comments right now.
