In 1983 in a small Stockton State College apartment (G-17), the 1st Whitey Football Pool was held. The inaugural season of
only 6 players grew and grew, and this year we look to excite up to 30 fans of the game for the 23rd Annual WFP.... "Why
do you do this every year, Whitey?" Whitey's Pub has been running said pool because he loves the game. In 1977 at the
spry old age of 12, he entered a similarly run pool of 30 or so thirtysomethings. Having never won a weekly prize, he walked
away with the Yearly Award (a major award), and was hooked. The Chief Organizer title also gives me the opportunity to
keep in touch with many of you through the years, even if it’s only from September to late January. With all that said, here’
s the deal for 2011-12'.
1. Pool consists of picking all NFL games via a provided spread each week. Spread is taken from a chosen Las Vegas
casino, and the line as of Wednesday is the official mark for the week. I will email you all the spreads each Wednesday, and
also post them on this website as well.
2. Player with most correct picks each week wins $50.00. In the event of a tie, total points scored in the Monday Night
Football game will determine the winner. You will give me your points each week along with your selections via email. I
will email everyone who is “live” on Monday afternoons, to add to your viewing drama.
3. The cutoff time for getting picks in is MIDNIGHT SATURDAY. Picks that arrive after this will be accepted IF, the date
and time on the email is prior to DNIGHT. Please activate your 'Sent Items' folder, in case your picks get lost or hung up in
cyberspace (it happens). As much as I trust you all and consider you friends, I can't accept anyone's word on who they did
or didn't pick. I need to prove to the other players that picks were sent in on time.
4. Winnings: Person with the best YTD 1st half record after week nine (9) will win $50.00. Person with the best record for
the 2nd half of the season will win another $50.00. Based on how many paying customers (I play for free), the breakdown
for yearly prizes will be: (roughly)
1st- $600 2nd- $375 3rd- $200 4th- $100 5th- $50.
4. This year I will again offer a Survivor Pool. Each week you will pick one team to win outright (no spread). Once you use
a team, you can not use them again for the year (Captain Rule). As long as you keep winning, you are live. One loss, adios
amigos! The cost for this pool is $25, winner take all, and the cost is already built in.
5. By entering the WFP-2011, you are also paid in full for the separate Playoff Pool. This pool uses no spreads. Best record
for the 11 playoff games wins real cash greenies. This pool pays out to the winner $250, $150 runner up, and $50
Consolation.
6. Default Picks: Default picks will be accepted towards yearly standings, however default picks will not be eligible for the
weekly $50 prize.
7. For 2011 the player with the worst win total at the end of the season will win a $25 BOOBY PRIZE. This has been
suggested for many years, and this year I'll see how it goes.

Congrats to myself (aka Whitey), and one from the pool's rookie class, Dave
Patnaude. The two co-champions will split the Suicide Pool’s $675.00 pot.
Week five this year was the big blow to the group. The New York Football Giants
were at home, a double-digit favorite over the Seattle Seahawks. Late in the game,
with the G-Men in front and looking to add to their cushion, Eli Manning's pass was
intercepted near the end zone, and taken the other way for a huge turn of events.
The pool was in shock. 14 of the remaining 16 players had backed Big Blue. The
pools was now quickly down to two remaining players.
For three of the last 4 weeks in the pool, both Whitey and Dave went pick for pick.
On that final fateful Sunday, the Arizona, losers of 458 consecutive road games
marched into The Link, and laid the smack down on “The Dream Team”. Week 10
was this year's mark.
Until next season...
