Largest Divis in Jockstocks History

Over the course of time, some stocks earn extra large dividends. Sometimes we get large dividends due to a stat entry error, but those are generally corrected. Even some legitimate dividends may seem quite large at times when viewing the stats that generated them. The player's projections may have been low at the time or, as in our early days, sometimes our formulas allowed for some extra large numbers.

This page, then, is simply an archive of our largest legitimate dividends in our history and will be updated or added to as time goes on. If you know of a divi that should be on the list, let us know. Dates listed will be the day after the actual performance because divis are given the day after the performance.

Stuart Appleby
1 eagle, 9 birds, and a million bucks; Stuart used a 59 to come from waaay back to win the tournament, earning more than his season projection in the process

Charley Hoffman
11 birds, 2 bogeys, a big 5 stroke win for over $1.3mil will do wonders for a divi, eh?

Carl Pettersson
Ok, a 1 bird/1 bogey day is no huge feat. Getting nearly twice his entire season's projections in earnings in one tournament, however, does- $954,000 on a season projection of only $500,000.

Stephen Ames
An eagle on a projection of 6 is always a nice boost to a divi. But Stephen also earned $1.4mil while only being projected for a bit over $1mil for the entire year.

Kevan Barlow
Barlow only needed 85 yards rushing, 2 TDs to go along with 6 catches for 66 yards to earn this dividend. He even lost 2 fumbles! This dividend came before minimum projections and came in a 41-38 49er loss to Cincinnati.

Dwight Freeney
Carson Palmer- meet Dwight Freeney ..a lot. 3 sacks and 3 forced fumbles later and the Colts have a win and Dwight has a huge divi.

Woody Austin
Eagles do a divi good. So do rounds without bogeys. Do both while earning more than your year's projections in one tournament and you get an all time high divi.

10/23/06
Ronde Barber
2 touchdowns by one player happens every NFL Sunday...but not when you play defense. Add in 2 picks and a forced fumble and you get an all time top dividend.

9/26/05
Robert Gamez
His 6 bird/0 bogey day didn't earn all this. Winning his first tournament in 15 years and $636,000 on a projection of $500,000 for the entire season did.

Darren Sharper
Back then, all it took was a 6 tackle, 2 sack performance on low sack projections. It happened in a 38-23 MNF Packer defeat of da Bears.

Mike York
2 PPGs on then-low projections in a 4-1 Oilers defeat of Carolina earned this one.

13 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, and a rumble for a TD- Keith was a busy boy in a 24-19 Titans defeat of the Lions.

Mike Richards
A hat trick generally makes for a solid dividend. When 2 of the goals are shorthanded, well....

4/25/06
John Madden
One wouldn't expect a large old NFL coach to make this list. Well he didn't, but the hockey player with the same name had 3 goals...2 of them shorthanded to earn this divi.

11/15/04
Kevin Carter
11 tackles, 3 sacks, and a forced fumble made for a solid afternoon...but not enough to keep the Titans from losing to da Bears 19-17.

Hunter Mahan
5 birds and 2 bogeys wouldn't get you here, adding 3 eagles would- imagine if he'd not bogeyed!

12/12/02
Eric Daze
3 goals, 1 a PPG, was enough to help Chicago beat the Rangers 4-3..but not enough to take York out as the top divi on this day.

5/23/05
Billy Mayfair
His day stat wise wasn't much- 3 birds, 2 bogeys. But for all the tourneys he plays, it's very rare for him to finish 2nd and earn over $600,000.

Another big payday for a golfer with low projections

5 stolen bases by a guy who doesn't steal that many, even IF it was a doubleheader

Paul Konerko
Paul had been in a long slump prior to this 2 homer, 4 rbi day. 2 runs and a double rounded out this performance in a White Sox win.

Joe Durant
7 birds, 0 bogeys....and over a year's projections in earnings will kick out a significant dividend- a split holder's delight!

Thomas Jones
Another divi that seems too large given the performance- 134 yards and a TD in a Tampa Bay win over Houston.

Ted Purdy
A 5 bird/0 bogey day is sweet enough..but when it results in a $1.1mil payout for winning the Byron Nelson you get to make this list!

Darren McFadden
165 yards rushing, 3 touchdowns and a 4th one receiving in a 59-14 route of the Broncos

33.63% 11/16/10 Michael Vick Vick became the 1st player in NFL history with at least 300 yards passing, 50 yards rushing, 4 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns in a game- and on MNF no less.
33.60% 4/29/11 Ben Zobrist Ben had quite an impact in a doubleheader- 2 home runs, 7 hits, 10 RBI, 5 runs scored, and a stolen base.

Craig Conroy
Goals may be more frequent in the new NHL, but a hat trick is still quite special. With one goal shorthanded, Craig added 2 assists while projected for only 10 goals all season, and he earns his way to this list.

4/8/05
DeShawn Stevenson
25 points and 4 3's is nothing real special..but when you've hardly been playing and your projections are, well, wimpy....

Casey McGehee
Casey had been largely a disappointment so far this season, so 3 homeruns in one game on a projection of 10 all year generates a megadivi

Jason Taylor
Jason and Vonnie Holliday helped make for a long day for Kerry Collins. Jason not only sacked Kerry 3 times, but got him in the endzone for a safety.

Niko Kapanen
A true hat trick earned Niko this divi- an even strength goal, a PPG, AND a SHG.

Corey Pavin
A wire to wire win meant big gains for Corey here- the biggest coming when he earned nearly his entire year's projection in one day and added an eagle to boot.
32.28%
11/21/05
Alex Brown
The Bears D sacked Jake Delhomme 8 times on this day- Alex got 2 of them and was involved in 2 others. With only 1 in the first half of the season, 2 in one game earned him this top 25 all time divi.

Ed Reed
Gotta watch those Sunday night games- ya just never know. A sack, a forced fumble, and a touchdown earned Reed this tasty divi.

Jespar Parnevik
1st of 3 probably too-high divis for some low projection golfers who finished high in this tournament. Jespar finished in a tie for 5th shooting a 67 to earn $146,000.

Chris DiMarco
Chris may have fallen short of winning the British Open, but his 2nd place finish still earned him more than his entire year's projection here.

Robert Allenby
6 birds/1 bogey is a nice day. Toss in an ace to that helps you earn 4th place and $220,000 gets you a sweet dividend.
Every pro athlete has both their good days and their bad days.
Below are the results of some bad ones.

Mike MacDougal
Relievers can sometimes get hit hard when they get railed on in an outing. 5 earned runs and a blown save loss earned this one.
