WEEK 16, The Playoff's Begin:
Before the 1999 Playoff's began all eyes were on the Marauders and
their 10-5 record, coming off their week 15, 90 point score (A 1999
BFFL Season High) The other favorite for the Super Bowl was the "expansion"
Spoilers who finished in 3rd place with a record of 8-6-1 after starting
the season 1-4!
Check out the playoff bracket.
All were excited about the possiblilty of collecting some of the over $400 in prize money to be distributed umong the tom 4 teams. The GM of the Marauders, Dale was grasping at rule changes to help his WR rich team, "I guess it's too late to propose rule changes for the playoffs.....
Rule change: Instead of 2 RB's and 2 WR's, you can play any combination of those positions at the time. That way, I can play Muhammad, Jeffers, and Robinson all at the same time........ just another headache in the life of a GM.
The Kings of Nothing were worried about their matchup with the Spoilers, Steve was quoted as saying, "Who can I pay to break both of Steve Beurlein's legs?? Who does Carolina play next week??" He soon changed to attacking the Spoilers, "Get on your knees and beg for mercy you scum sucking pig!!The Spoilers string of good luck has just ended."
The cocky Spoilers GM, Bill was interviewed later and said, "Hell,
I'll bench everyone except Beuerlein and still beat you! Your team
is nothing but a bunch of (whimps). I could beat them fielding
an all girl team."
Al_falcon Reporter, "What are you chances in the playoffs?"
Bill, "Pretty damn good. The Queens of Nothing have been
rather limp of late. They should be easy. After that, well....."
Al_falcon Reporter, "Who will be your go-to guy in the playoffs
and why?"
Bill, "Beuerlein!!! The Panthers play against two loser teams,
so he should rack up some good points. "
Al_falcon Reporter, "Briefly, how would you sum up the season
for your team?"
Bill,I got off to a 1-4 start, so I thought this season would
suck. But I picked up Beuerlein and Marshall Faulk kicked into high
gear. I'd have to say that it's been pretty good. Expansion teams
rule!"
We were able to catch up with the hard to reach GM of the Raiders,
who appeared stong at times this season, only to fall to 6th place
by the end of the season.
Al_falcon Reporter, "What went wrong?
Colon, "The Raiders have utilized 2 theories on running a
franchise:
A: "Chan Gailey" approach......The Raiders have you just where they
want ya. This is all part of the plan....the Big Picture. If it
needs to be "messed up".....we will do it. We will take a player
out of the lineup and watch have a career day. All part of the plan.
B: "Art Rooney" approach.....you don't have to spend money. Who
needs WRs anyway. We have Randy Moss. As Keyshawn would say "Just
give him the damn ball". Before Wychek tossed a TD, I wondered why
we need TEs? In closing, its been fun. Not enough time for me this
year (does thatsound like an excuse?). "
With that he was off in a flash, not to be heard from until next
year's draft!!
