Pargon 2019 - Tony Bruno Edge Award #2

The second TBEA of the 2019 season goes to an individual who showed perseverance in the face of an uphill battle.  The person seemed to have started the season with a championship hangover.  After failing to score a point in the first two weeks, this person was heading into Bye Week 4.0 down by two with the potential of things spinning out of control quickly.

Instead, this person picked himself up and put on a show for the ages.  Not only did he take 1st place in the Bye Week 4.0, but a gutsy performance by the Bears on Monday night gave him enough team wins to earn the first ever Bye Week bonus point.

Unfortunately for the rest of the league, this person didn't stop there.  He followed up this historic performance with back-to-back wins against hsBrian and hsPat.  In a three week span, this person turned a two point deficit in the standings into a two point first place lead.

For his display of perseverance in the face of adversity, I present the second Tony Bruno Edge Award to LP.  May we all learn from your example.

Near Miss on Pargon Rare Achievement

With last night's Kansas City upset loss (which all five of us picked, including three people at 13 points), we narrowly missed on an achievement that has never happened.

In the post-2011 era, when Brian and Jimmy joined the league, there has never been a week* in which all 5 players earned at least 1 Pargon point. Kansas City winning would have given Brian a 3-rule point and guaranteed that everyone earned 1 point for the week.

Alas, the rare achievement remains untouched.

Pargon 2019 - Tony Bruno Edge Award #1

The first TBEA of the 2019 season goes to a truly deserving individual.  This person jumped out to a strong start getting their first point in week 1 and currently sitting tied for second place.  This person also is leading the Zammuto points total and has an active streak of leading the Zammuto points of 16 weeks.  And while these strong performances are great, these are not the reason for earning this TBEA. 

For your dedicated work in bringing the Pargon website to the next level, I present the first Tony Bruno Edge Award to hsBrian.  The Pargon website was always a marvel, however the impact of the recent addition of the Dashboard is hard to capture with words alone. 

The inventions of the wheel, electricity, the assembly line, and cortisone shots.  These have all advances society in ways beyond comprehension.  The same can be said about the Pargon Dashboard.  Your one stop shop for all things Pargon.
