Re-peat!! For only
the second time in Sacred Sundays’ history, we have a repeat champion! Congratulations to Joe’s Pats for taking home
the 2018 title and dominating all season long!
Joe claimed five Weekly High Score Prizes on his way to the championship,
which would have tied the record for most High Scores in a season had he not
won six and set the record last year! Well done once again
sir! This is Joe's third Sacred Sundays championship, and his 7th time finishing in the top 4.
Attack of Mahomes' second place finish marks the third time Timmy has finished as runner-up, and is also his 7th time finishing in the top 4. Nice work Tim-may! Young Guns finished in 3rd place, giving John 2 top 4 finishes out of the last three years (Young Guns was 2nd in 2016). Finishing in 4th place was Longshanks, quite the improvement from my 8th place finish last year. I finished 9th in 2016, 8th last year now 4th this year! I'm coming for you Joe!
For Week 16, the big congratulations go to Mr. Jens
Bolleyer for being the only team in triple digits and claiming a SECOND Weekly
High Score Prize! Jens and his Big Sack
also won the prize for best text with his “See I told you my team was built for
the championship”. Aaron Rodgers led the way for Big Sack with
an incredible 45 point performance, and four other players scored double digits
giving Big ol' Sack 107 points. Nice work big
guy! Keep on building those championship teams.

KEEPERS AND FINAL ROSTERS
For next season, the same keeper rules will apply… you can
keep up to 2 players from your final roster this season as a keeper for next
year. Players count as a draft pick for
whatever their draft pick was for the 2018 season. Keepers being re-kept count as a first round
pick, undrafted players as a 15th round pick. I’ll send out a spreadsheet with all final
rosters and 2019 keeper values in the next couple days.
BEST BENCH
This season 7 different teams claimed the title of Best Bench. The three elusive teams who avoided it
were Team I.R. & Holdout (James), Joe’s Pats (Joe) and sprouts (Russ). Of the Best Benches, American BadAss had it the most times with 4, and also led
the way for the highest Best Bench of the season with a 66 point improvement
possibility in Week 14. (Side note - The record for
the highest Best Bench was set Week 2-2009 when sprouts had an unprecedented
89-point improvement possibility.)
For the final Best Bench this year, we didn’t nearly get
that high, but it was still a 62.5% roster overhaul (5 player swap!). Collecting his third Best
Bench of the season, Week 16 goes to… the Coors Light Drunk Guys! Shawn needed to swap: B. Roethlisberger for D. Brees +15, D. Njoku
for T. Burton +10, Jacksonville for Houston +9, L. Fitzgerald for C. Davis +6
and C. Thompson for T. Riddick +2.
Another season has come and gone so quickly… I’m already
looking forward to next year!!
Happy New
Year to everyone… may 2019 be a joyous and fruitful year!
