Bad News Wins the Pennant

While it's still anyone's guess as to when the Commish will get around to hosting her annual Holiday Soiree (and presenting us with our official trophies, frames, and/or paper certificates of participation), and in spite of a tough loss in the playoffs, let it be known that the Bad News did take first-place in the league's Northern Division last year. Here's the final standings:

             1 - The Bad News (7-2)
             2 - Innovation (6-2)
             3 - Team Tuttle (5-4)
             4 - NY Daily News (5-4)
             5 - Macy’s (4-5)
             6 - Legal Aid Society (4-5)
             7 - Screaming Yaks (2-7)
             8 - Silver Lining (0-9)

So there's closure on the 2007 season for you. Hope everyone's enjoyed the off-season and is raring to go for a repeat in '08. I'll let Freddie take it from here.
