DOINK!!!

24 lose a perfecto on missed chip shot FG

	Oops! Missed it.

     Howls of agony rained on the land of Pigskin Mania Sunday night.

As the Arizona Cardinals lined up for a game-winning and point-spread-covering 24-yard field goal attempt, there were 24 players lining up to collect on their perfect weeks.

And then...doink! Cardinals kicker Chandler Catanzaro bounced it off the left upright and - poof! - 24 perfectos went into the ditch.

The missed kick set off one of the stranger series of events that led to the Cardinals and Seahawks playing a full 15-minute overtime only to wind up in a 6-6 tie in the Pigskin Special.

Seahawks kicker Stephen Hauschka matched Catanzaro with a miss on a potential game-winner from 28 yards in the final seconds. But by that point it didn't matter for Pigskin Maniacs as the Seahawks covered the 2-point spread with or without Hauschka's miss.

"In a twisted way, this is how the Pigskin Special is supposed to play out," said Poolmaster Jay Gonzales. "This one had everything. There were almost an equal number of picks on both sides of the game, 306 on the Cardinals and 302 on the Seahawks. The game was the featured NFL game on Sunday night. Both teams are supposed to be Super Bowl contenders. And it came down to the last play, ending in the most improbable way.

"If you were on the losing side, there's nothing to say other than that's what Pigskin Mania does to you and there's nothing you can do about it."

The PM Facebook page chronicled much of the agony, including a simple comment from Derek Dewhirst who would have ended a streak of 99 weeks without a perfect week had Catanzaro hit the field goal.

"Wow, that is some serious Bad Beat Theater right there," said frequent poster Jamie Paquette.

"Unbelievable!!!," said Dewhirst.

 "I have never been so unhappy with a 3 as I was last night," added Bill McQuerry.

"I told you!! Stoopid Cardinals," said Mike Truelsen, speaking for the 306 players who lost the game.

One more for the record

	The Road to 190

Mike Feder almost made it through Saturday in his bid to end his streak without a perfect week. But the suddenly terrible Michigan St. Spartans let him down in a late afternoon game after Feder got off to a 2-0 start.

Feder hit Northwestern and Syracuse in a pair of morning games,  but ended the day with MSU going down to Maryland, 28-17, as a 2.5-point favorite.

Feder also missed a game on Sunday setting up this week's date with destiny to match the late Rita Fisher's record of 190 weeks without a perfect week.

This and that

• It was a tough call in picking this week's Pigskin Special with two marquee games that have playoff implications. Clemson is at Florida St. and Washington is at Utah for a couple of dangerous matchups for the visiting playoff contenders. We went with the Pac-12 matchup since both Clemson and Florida St. appeared in the Special earlier this season.

• The pool was over .500 for only the second time this season, due primarily to the Patriots who covered for 233 players. Only 13 players took the Steelers in one of the more lopsided picks ever.

• Nick Mitrano and Phil Choler swapped places at the top of the leaderboard again with Mitrano taking a 1-point lead on the Seahawks's cover in the Special while Choler had the Cardinals.
