Craiger, Face and Lambertuzzi mount the podium in the hockey pool. Congrats guys!
Was that a game or what?! You couldn't ask for a better match than that. Who is this Crosby guy...crapping beds all playoffs then he pots the winner. The hockey gods shine their lights on that guy, eh?
In a hugely respectable position, Carter 1 finished 4th in the pool not much ahead of their cross-house nemesis, Carter 2. The poop duty bet may be a wash....
Marty, marty, farty, farty...rough going pal. BLNT, I guess.
All wins the Nordic Combined Pool Event with a 1-5 finish in the OP and HP pools respectively.
Thanks for participating, gang. We get a two year rest before London 2012...we'll need it!
The Commish, over and out.

And the winner is....
(are) Alli and Emma!!!
Congrats to the two research-driven wonders! I didn't think we'd need a tie-breaker, so that was dumb. Next time around we'll make it the medal count or scandal count or something. Oh well. You guys will split the first and second place winnings.
42 Quebec St. seems to be getting rich on this particular pool. That should work out to about $0.50/hour or so...not bad given this poor economy.
The Lytles almost made it out of the basement...losing to hockey star Craig by just a point. Losing by 22 to "Random Pete" is tough.
Alex and Sue took the battle of the Carters handly, and maybe passed off dog poop duty for a year with their effort. We'll need to see how the hockey pool standings fair.
Overall, a warm and wonderful Olympics...one to remember. Congrats to the US for their staggering victory in the medal count (though all of us really know that its the GOLD MEDAL COUNT that really matters).
Thanks everyone for taking the time to get your entries and for making all the posts online. Tons of fun.
Final tallies are below. Get your cash in ASAP, losers.

Final SCANDAL! Rulings
1) Women's Hockey Team Celebrates Win: What a travesty. First winning and then being HAPPY you won!! Imagine celebrating with disgusting accessories like BEER and CHAMPAGNE! The horror. As the Winnipeg Free Press rightly noted, "Think of the consequences if these public displays of happiness get out of hand, Jacques. Grown women. Smoking. Drinking. What's next? Demanding the right to vote? Wanting to head major corporations? The mind boggles." Verdict: SCANDAL!
2) Scandal! Judge makes a b-s scandal ruling (see above) to ensure that his parents don't win the SCANDAL! count for this Olympic Pool. What's the opposite of nepotism, folks? Un-nepotist? Anti-nepotant? Either way, this one goes on the books. Verdict: SCANDAL!
So, as the torch has been un-lit (anti-lit?) the official SCANDAL! Count sits at: 7
Any Last Minute Submissions?
Hey Folks - Last SCANDAL! ruling coming up today... any last minute contenders to submit??

3 Events to Go!
Sorry for the delay, folks. I've just been so busy with all of my vacation activities that I couldn't find the time to post an update yesterday!
What a day to miss! Canada went absolutely nutty winning some 8 medals in two days. (Yes, Laurie, the USA did pretty OK too.)
It looks like Vegas did a decent job of picking the winners for the Olympics (never bet against the house) but a little national pride helps too. Luke is currently tied for second place with yours truly, just one behind Emma. Long-time leader, Alli is just 2 points out of the lead. I honestly can't stomach Emma winning another one of these things!!!
All of the top contenders picked Team Canada to win hockey. No one has USA, but the rest have Canada or Germany to win the overall medal count (Germany will earn "silver" and Canada "bronze" it seems). So, today's story looks like this:
Entrant, 50km CC pick, Men's Hockey Pick, Overall Meal count
- Emma, Bauer (cze), Canada, Germany
- Grant, Olsson (swe), Canada, Canada (needs olsson and bauer to not medal)
- Luke, Bauer (cze), Canada, Canada (so he can't beat emma)
- Alli, Northug (nor), Canada, Canada (needs northug and bauer to not medal)
- Tim, Bauer (cze), Canada, Germany (can't catch emma, but a bauer gold could put him in medals)
- Dave, Northug (nor), Canada, Germany
Candidate, Points, Medal Count
Emma, 128, 54
Grant, 127, 55
Luke, 127, 52

The Penultimate Hockey Pool Update
Well, it seems that Craig may have played this perfectly...he's stacked up on Americans and Canadians and is now a clear 4 points ahead of Lambertuzzi and last update's leader Dave.
Basically it boils down to this:
- Craig will be cheering for Parise, Kessel, Niedermayer and Team USA)
- Mike will be cheering for Thornton, Marleau, Nash, Proger and Weber
- Dave has Iginla, Toews and Keith
Huge game today for Poolies and Patriots alike. Enjoy!!!

Day 14 totals - Standing pat
Alli retains the lead, followed closely by G, Dave and Luke and Emma in a tie for 4th. With Alli's sub-par Canada pick for the overall medal count, this really is a tight contest!
Izzy and Tim are definitely right in it as we head into the final weekend. Still plenty of medals to go though...stay tuned!
