'Q' CLAIMS THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

Q - Denise Yoder, a Sports Trainer from Rock Island, IL
started the season -5 and went on to post only 4 negative weeks.
She bravely stuck with her proxy pick of Faves in WK 17 for a
single-game victory to claim the Sonny Columbo Memorial Trophy.

What an amazing finish, and our most competitive year yet!

Thanks again for playing!

Gordon Blickstead was born and raised in the Irish immigrant neighborhood of Griffintown in Montreal, Quebec. He was the proud son of Charles, the city's Fire Chief.

As a 20-something bon-vivant, he began crooning jazz standards in smokey Montreal nightclubs under the name 'Sonny Columbo.' An impressive crooner, Sonny outshone Tony Bennett when they appeared on a 1957 CBC-TV special.

In the early 60's, Gordon retired his 'Sonny' persona for the practical job of teacher at Resurrection School in Montreal where he coached a 2nd string football team of varsity squad rejects to a winning record.

After a sabbatical on the beaches of Florida, Gordon began a career in radio during which he and colleague 'Auggie' began a close friendship until Gordon's death from cancer in August 2002.

Gordon most enjoyed a cold beer, a warm barstool and the Football Pool.

Despite his brief coaching success he was no more saavy at making picks than the rest of us. But, he'd no doubt get a bigger kick out of knowing that Sonny Columbo lives on through our Pool award!

Cheers, old friend.
