After taking 1st place in the 2008 fantasy football league amongst personal finance bloggers, I was feeling pretty good about my chances of a repeat in 2009. Well, the final point was calculated last night on the 2009 season and PT’s Prime Timers didn’t make it happen. I lost in the finals to the Cash Money All-Stars, the talent filled juggernaut owned by Patrick from Cash Money Life.
But all is not lost.
Side Bet for Charity
Although our league is a free league and there is no official prize for the winner, at the beginning of the season Patrick offered to donate $100 to the charity of choice for the winner of the league (and if he won, he promised to donate to a charity of his readers’ choice).
Last week, since I found myself pitted against Patrick in the finals, I offered to match his donation. That means $200 will go to charity once his reader’s make their choice.

You actually had the best season record in the league – it just came down to the Super Bowl game and it looked like some of your guys forgot to show up. It also didn’t help that the Colts benched Peyton Manning after half a game!
We’ll see how it goes next year!
At least you made it to play-offs. I counted on big Jay Butler to make the difference this year and he let me down. Add on the Turner injury and a few others… wasn’t pretty. Maybe next year.
Someone had to lose
Happy new year, PT!!
