VELSPÁR 2017 - FINAL RESULTS
Velspár 2017
Welcome to the 2017 season of Velspár! And welcome to those of you that are playing Velspár for the first time! Glad to have you join!!
Velspár, in old norse, means prophesying well or rightly. And that’s just what we all are trying to do, each week during the Minnesota Vikings season. Each week a set of questions will be posted at http://scottsabarber.wixsite.com/velspar (Hopefully by Wednesday) The results will also be posted there. Correctly predicting the questions will result in points awarded (based on the degree of difficulty) The person with the most points is that weeks winner. There are no weekly prizes (yet) but the points earned each week will be added up weekly and there will be a prize for the person with the most points at the end of the season. A beautiful hand crafted Velspar Champion Mug. So put on your thinking horns and join in on Velspár!!
WEEK 1, THE SWITCH
I don’t know about you, but I’m not as optimistic about the 2017 season. The Vikings run of 3-8 after starting out 5-0, probably has a lot to do with it. Maybe it’s the end of the run of Training Camp in Mankato, end of the run of some tailgaiting. The face of the franchise for the past 10 years, adrian Peterson switched teams. I’m usually the most optimistic person in the room, but after those things and watching the pre-season performance and the fact that No team has won a Superbowl in their own stadium really doesn’t get my hopes up. I will stir up some optimism though and say maybe this 2017 version of the Adrian Petersonless Vikings can flip the switch and light it up on both sides of the ball. I guess we will all find out on Monday night.
It’s time to cook all those old ways and we are gonna roll with what we got.

Papa when you get a chance can you post the previous winners so tahtI can mark them as having won? I'd also like to do up a page that lists the details of each years results if you still have them.
I'm in. Thanks!
I just want to improve from last season. I recall starting slow. :P
Do we need donations for the trophy? I'd certainly chip in a few if needed. And "in" if its required.
I'll try to do better---usually fill it out a few times and ten life happens and I run out of time to get my picks in
Velspar....now it feels like football season!!
Papa...in the Pigskin Madness, of course I have Miami as one of my teams in week 1....any idea how this is gonna work?
In.
Defending my 2016 Weekly title and my 2015 Seasonal title. That's right,,, TWO time Velspar champion here. It's an exclusive club, purple shades are required in the dress code...
Wore them on this one.(difficult to do with the preseason I witnessed but... meh, it's better than being happy they suck because I got some questions correct... probably why I don't play "fantasy" football =) No matter how bad they are... I will always pick my Vikings to win or at least be better than their opponent.) Thanks Papa, you Rock, as usual.
Good luck to all... you're gonna need it.... :p

I do too. Zero points for Miami. Just hope to our other teams do poorly to get one of the low scores
In...hopefully I remember to enter each week this year. B)
