Week 15, end of another great BFFL Season! Newcomer Big Blue knocks out the defending BFFL Champion Kings of Nothing to advance to playoffs 91-47. The Big Blue machine keeps on rolling with his 4th victory in a row, just when he need it in the do or die week 15 matchup. Big Blue was led by Mr. Tutu himself, Trent Green with 20 fan pts, and Ladainian Tomlinson with 26 pts, which included 144 receiving yds. Ed may have had a point when he said after the game, "Trent Green got even with you for all those bad things you have said about him." It was your basic blow out as the Kings of Nothing switched Aaron Brooks and his 5 TD passes to the bench on Sunday Morning. The Kings of Nothing left 90 points on the bench with Kevan Barlow 19, Brooks' 22 and Todd Heap's 18. Hey no sense in crying over spilled milk; Big Blue had the players when it mattered. In the other game with to decide a playoff birth the Snoozers
slide by Lombardi Mania 68-64. The Mania thought they had a good
chance to win on Sunday when Ahman Green and Clinton Portis put
up 15 and 21 pts each. The Mania gets the tough luck award this
week with BOTH receivers, Darrell Jackson and Steve Smith accounting
for 99 yds rec each. One more point by EITHER PLAYER and that would
have meant 4 more pts for the Mainia. The Snoozers countered with
Priest Holmes, 24, Curtis Martin 13 and Shannon Sharpe 12. The killer
for the L-Mania was Michael Vick and his 1 pt after 47 Passing Yards
and 30 Rushing Yards against the Indy Colts. This game was tied
after Sunday's game which prompted Dale to try to curse Julian's
only remaining player, Chris Chambers, " I don't suppose any
of you would know how I could get a hold of Chris Chambers' address
in Miami or where I can get a direct flight to Miami this morning....
Just wondering." It did not work as Chambers quickly caught
a few passes in the first quarter to put Dale out of his misery
and ended up with 86 yds and 4 pts for the Snoozer win. Before the
final nail in the coffin, Julian reflected, "Dale it's really
been a rough league around here, and it's tough to think that Chuck,
you, or I don't play for the Super Bowl this year, since we started
so hot. But that's what makes it all fun n games!!!" Dale had
one last parting word to say after starting 5-1 and missing the
playoffs, "The Fantasy gods have spoken again and it just wasn't
meant to be for L-Mania this year. There's not much else for me
to say, other than 'there's always next year'". The Snoozers
and Lombardi Mania have had 2 of the best FF games of the year in
the last 3 weeks. In the other games, the Seminole Nation clinched first place with the win 63-26 over the Red Ball Blitz and the WhoseYourDaddies won a close one 83-80 over the Spoilers. The end of the season standings:
In the Super Bowl Bracket there are 3 teams that have never won with only the WhoseYourDaddies that have tasted BFFL Victory. In the Toilet Bowl bracket there are 3 previous Toilet Bowl Losers and one team, the Red Ball Blitz that has not had to sit on the bowl for a year. Is it Jeff's year to take home the trophy? Odds say yes, as his team has scored 130 pts less than the 7th place Spoilers and almost 300 pts less than Lombardi Mania their week 16 opponent. That wraps up the 10th BFFL regular season, good luck to everyone in the playoffs! Week 14 Notes Seminole Nation returns to form, clinches playoff spot with 96-85 victory over Lombardi Mania. The Nation breaks out of the 3 game losing streak to move back into sole possession of first place at 10-4 going into the position round week 15. The Nation had to hold off the hard charging L-Mania and Clinton Portis' 48 fantasy pts, with 218 Rushing Yards and 5 TD's. Seminole Nation got some great scores themselves from Jamal Lewis, 30 pts, Steve McNair 19 pts and NE DT with 16 pts as well.
The WhoseYourDaddies (9-5, second place) clinch a playoff victory even though they fall to the celler-dwellers, the Red Ball Blitz 48-38. The Daddies had 6 players account for a total of 12 pts in the defeat, with the KC defense pulling a big goose Egg. The Blitz raise their record to 3-11 and tie for 7th place with the Spoilers. DOH, by way of the tie-breaker, they still remain in 8th place. The tough luck Snoozers lose again in another wild, high scoring game 104-74 to Big Blue. The loss knocks the Snoozers down to 7-6-1 and tie for 5th place with the Kings of Nothing. This is the second time this season the Big Blue machine has rumbled for over 100 pts, this time it was Ladainian Tomlinson, Randy Moss, Trent Green and Fred Taylor who all scored 17+ pts this week. The Snoozers have averaged 84 pts over the last 2 weeks, but are 0-2. OUCH, that hurts! Big blue was a gracious winner, "I won the battle but it is a bittersweet victory. The senior big blue team is god awful.(NY Giants lost to the Washington Redskins 20-7 at home) They shoot horses don't they. Could someone put the G-Men out of their misery?" Us Redskins fans would gladly shout your house for you Big Blue! In the lowest scoring game of the week, the Kings of Nothing faced off with the Spoilers. The Kings went into this week in 6th place needing a win to stay in the playoff hunt. After Sunday's games, both teams were terrible, as the Kings of Nothing lead 26-23. The Nothings had Jeff Wilkens to play while the Spoilers had first round pick Marshall Faulk to play. Looking at the stats for the season, Wilkens had outscored Faulk in every game but for 2. The 2 were the past 2 weeks and the Spoilers looked good for the win going into Monday night's game St. Louis at Cleveland. Let' see Cleveland in Dec, can you say cold, snow, wind, probably terrible conditions for a kicker to play in. WRONG!! Game time comes around, no snow, 10 mph winds around 35 degrees, no problem for Wilkens as the Kings of Nothing predict that he will kick 5 FG's that night. Well, he came close as he attempted 5 and hit 4, and added 2 extra points for 14 fantasy pts. Marshall Faulk was not a major factor in the game as he never found the endzone, finished with 102 yds rushing and 10 fantasy pts. Kings of Nothing WIN 40-33 and stay alive in the playoff hunt. The Spoilers were feeling the frustration of losing to a kicker, "F-ing, GD, piece of s@!t, lousy m-fers. ARGH! A freaking kicker outscoring Marshall Faulk! This season sucks!" Week 15 Schedule for the position round:
Week 13 Notes The return of the Heartbeat Graph, week 13 style... Possibly
the highest scoring game in the BFFL's 10 year history as
Lombardi Mania defeats the Snoozers 102-94. The combined 196 pts
will become the new standard for the BFFL as the tough luck Snoozers
fall to 7-5-1 and 4th place in the standings. L-Mania now stands
in 3rd place at 8-5 with 2 weeks to go in the regular season.
The Coach/GM of the L-Mania was contacted after the game and had this to say, "If it weren't for bad luck the Snoozers would have no luck at all. Losing despite scoring 94 frickin points. I would think that 196 combined in one game is a BFFL record. I really think the the GM's of both teams should be rewarded financially for that......LOL." Dale continued, "In week 11, the Snoozers also lost 78-73 to the WYD. That is what I call two tough losses. Let's not forget the tie with the Kings. With Culpepper, Priest, Shannon Sharpe, the reborn Chris Chambers and the Raven's surging "D", the Snoozers are a lot better team than their record indicates. To be honest, I would not want to play them again this year. 'What goes around, comes around' and the Snoozers may be due for some good luck at the time of the season when you want it the most. " "As for L-Mania..... will the real L-Mania please stand up? After being down 24-2 after Thursday's games (with my 2 coming from Ahman Green), The rest of my team scored 100 points. I'd have to say that was a pretty good comeback...." The Snoozers were very gracious in defeat, "Dale good win! I want to recount the hanging chads on the field. :-) ". Then when the conversation of how the rest of the season will go, Julian had this to say, "I don't really think anyone will stop our highpower offenses in the playoffs." Here at AlFalcons.com we think the real L-Mania is standing up and the Snoozers are as well, this will make it tough for Big Blue and the Kings of Nothing to make the playoffs. Big Blue was still talking about the Playoffs and about the Skins vs Giants game, "One second my friend. Don't count your greenbacks just yet. You are dealing with Blue this weekend. Furthermore, isn't it approriate for the Giants and the Deadskins meet in the sewer bowl to battle for last place in the NFC East!! With that said, I think BIG BLUE will have a tougher time beating the Snooze Man that the G-Men will with the Redskins. But a BLUE/Giant sweep is on the horizion!" When the Skins bashing was over the Kings of Nothing put up $20 on the Skins over the Giants, but so far there have been no takers. What up with that Big Boo? In other games, the WhoseYourDaddies (9-4) win their 8th in a row, 68-62 over the Kings of Nothing (6-6-1, 6th place). The Daddies now share 1st place with the faltering Seminole Nation who dropped their 3rd game in a row to Big Blue (7-6, 5th place) 85-76. Maybe there is something to the prayer to the fantasy gods when the Kings of Nothing created the "dark prayer" now their record is 6-6-1 and they are in 6th place. Maybe it was meant to be that there are three 6's in that, I don't know, but it is kinda scary! The Nation has spoken as well this week as they congratulated Big Blue, "High power offense? How about high power defense! Congrats. What a memorable month of November. Beaten by a default button (week 11 loss to Spoilers who did not submit a line-up) and a 19 point defensive performance. I dropped trough just about every week in November...but still tied for first. The Nation is feeling a little banged up. " In the battle for last place the Red Ball Blitz pull out their second win of the season 54-49 over the Spoilers (3-11, 7th place). This keeps the Red Ballers in last place, but moves them within one game of 7th place. Al Falcons' scenario for making the Kings of Nothings
and Big Blue to make playoffs:
Week 11 Notes It's, It's, The Red Ball Blitz! Finally after 10 weeks of losing the Red Ball Blitz scores a victory 61-39 over Big Blue. The Blitz got 28 pts from Edgerrin James, 12 pts from Rod Smith and 10 from Marc Bulger to power their way to the victory. I thought Jeff had pulled the bone-head move of the week when he started Tai Streets, SF(quesitonable and 0 fan pts) over Reggie Wayne, IND (10 fan pts because Marvin Harrison was out.) No matter, the Blitz wins; let me repeat that. the BLITZ WINS! In part 2 of his Prayer to the Fantasy Gods last week, Big Blue opened him big mouth, "and please let Red Ball win not one but two games this. He is not that bad a guy. Amen. BUT NOT THIS WEEK!!!" After the loss Blue was heard to say,"Guess one should be careful for what they wish for!" Yes indeed Big Blue as you fall to 5-6, 6th place and 1.5 games out of the playoffs. In another upset the Spoilers take down the #1 Seminole Nation 61-41. Once again the Spoilers pull their win out of their A$$ as they did not submit a line-up this week and used last week's line-up by default. Not even Michael Pittman's 1 pt (Marshall Faulk was on the bench with 9 pts) could stop the Spoilers, who at 3-8 remain mathmatically in the playoff hunt with 4 games to go in the regular season. What is going on with the Nation? This makes 2 losses in the last 3 weeks, is there a crack in the armor, or will they rebound in the coming weeks? The WhoseYourDaddies (7-4) move into a tie for 2nd place with Lombardi-Mania thanks to a 78-73 defeat of the now 4th place Snoozers. This marks 6 wins in a row for the Daddies as they have powered out of the middle of the pack and stand strong at 7-4. Reminds me of the Kings of Nothing from 2001 when they started out 0-3-1, only to go to the Super Bowl and lose to the Flying Beavers (Red Ball Blitz). Can the Daddies continue their roll this week against lucky Spoilers? The Kings of Nothing are still hanging around the playoff race at 5-5-1 in 5th place after the 78-47 win over Lombardi Mania. The Kings finally got some luck after the last 3 weeks of good scores, but no wins. Maybe their Iron Maiden prayer from last week worked? We shall see at they face the upstart Red Ball Blitz in week 12. The Game of the Week for week 12, the #1 Seminole Nation favored by less than 1 pt over #4 Snoozers. A win for the Snoozers could go a long way to securing at least a 4th place finish and put the Kings of Nothing, Big Blue and Spoilers in bad shape for a playoff birth. Week 10 Notes Praying to the Fantasy Gods. As teams start to lose late in the season, owners start to think about how they will look next to the pink seat. The Kings of Nothing (4-5-1, 6th place) are not the only team struggling, but they lost to Seminole Nation 80-61 this week. Seminole Nation did not even start Steve McNair and his 114 year to date fantasy pts which lead all QB's. The WhoseYourDaddies take down Big Blue 69-59 as there was no Monday night TE miracle for Big Blue (5-5, 5th place) this week as L.J. Smith from Philly posted a large Goose Egg. Hello the WhoseYourDaddies (6-4, 4th place) have won 5 straight, look out above! The Spoilers (2-8, 7th place) continue lose as well 58-50 to Lombardi-Mania. The Red Ball Blitz did what they have done every game this season, lose in a romp 90-17 to the 3rd place Snoozers. Big Blue started out this weeks email thread of the week Praying to the Fantasy Gods. In the name of victory, and to the champion and the league trophy Amen, Please dear Fantasy Gods. Allow me to redeem myself tonight by giving TE L. J. Smith the strength to score at least one TD and grab 50 plus yards for 11 fantasy points thus granting me what should have been mine all along with...Victory. I am heartly sorry for having offended thy by benching my studs. For if you give LJ the strength to perform his duties successfully I will never ever bench my studs. Amen Faithfully yours through eternity, Big Blue Lombardi Mania filed this prayer: I, too, owe a grand pubah apology to the great Fantasy gods of the North (somewhere around Green Bay, I believe). For I, too, was punished yesterday for not playing one of my "studs" (as Ed calls them). That being one Mr.Steve Smith, the only receiver on my roster who really did anything yesterday and the only non-starter on my roster who got any points at all (several were not playing). Hopefully, by acknowledging my indiscretions to the great Fantasy gods, I too will attain forgiveness and receive the twenty or so points I'm going to need tonight from Mr. Ahman Green and Mr. Correll Buckhalter in order to kick Bill's ass. So be it. The Spoilers would not be outdone: Listen not, o Fantasy Gods, to yon apostate refered to as Lombardi Mania, for I too have a sinned and am truly repentant. I chose not to play Marshall Faulk, though he be my first draft pick, because I fealt the coach would go easy on him since he's freshly returned from an injury. Truly, I am more worthy of your blessings! Then some crazed Iron Maiden fan posted this plea, Dear Master of Evil, creater of Iron Maiden Album
Covers and backwards playing records, Week 8 and 9 Notes Seminole Nation finally goes down, WhoseYourDaddies
and Big Blue move up in the standings and yes, Big Blue (5-4 tie 4th) pull out the 1 pt victory over your beloved Kings of Nothing 75-74 in week 8. The loss moves the Kings to 4-4-1 not a bad record, but puts them in 6th place. The Big Blue entered the Monday Night game tailing 66-74 with Daniel Graham (who?) TE from New England remaining. Graham had a big week 8 with 14pts, but only had 22 pts for the season. It looked like a win for the Kings of Nothing. WRONG Graham caught a 3rd quarter TD pass to tie the fantasy game at 74, before putting the game away with a late 18 yd catch to ice the win for Big Blue with 9 fan pts.
Say it ain't so Columbo, the Blue Ball Blitz lose again to go 0-9! Lombardi Mania (6-2, 2nd place) took care of the Ballers 73-52 thanks the running back duo of Ahman Green and Clinton Portis who scored 32 of the Mania's 73 pts. The Red Ball Blitz had a pretty good game until Rod Smith, Reggie Wayne, and Kyle Brady scored a combined 4 pts. We are pretty sure that 6-9 won't make the playoffs this year with 6 teams at .500 or better at this point. Ole Jeffro is cooked and looking for some way to avoid the pink seat. In week 8, Greg came up with several scenarios where the Ball Blitz could still make the playoffs, but after their 9th loss in a row, Jeff can kiss the playoffs good bye. We are searching the archives, but I believe that 9 losses in a row to start a season is a BFFL record. Way to go Jeff! The Snoozers (5-3-1, 3rd place) tied the Kings of
Nothing in week seven 64-64, then beat the lowly Spoilers (2-7,
7th place) in a close one 65-59 in week 9. Going into week 10 there
is only 1 game separating 3rd through 6 places in the BFFL. Week
10 has 2 good matchups as the WhoseYourDaddies visit Big Blue and
Kings of Nothing travel into Seminole Nation territory. Can the
Nation lose 2 in a row after winning 8 in a row? I sure hope so,
but we will have to wait until next week to see. Week 6 and 7 Notes Seminole Nation stays undefeated at 7-0 with wins over Big Blue 72-48 in week 6 and in another battle for first place against Lombardi Mania 67-50 in week 7. The Nation is being lead by Steve McNair 98 fan pts and Jamal Lewis 90 fan pts. These 2 players are in the top 5 scorers in the BFFL after 7 weeks. The Nation has 5 of the top 18 players in the league at this point. Lombardi-Mania (5-2, 2nd place) could have had a share of first place if they had won in the weeek 7 match-up. The Mania has very solid RB's with Ahman Green and Clinton Portis scoring 10 and 16pts each, but it was their WR's that let them down Darrell Jackson and Peerless Price only scored 1 pt each. Dale has been very vocal in the emails this season, as he finally has something to talk about other than his team sucking. Here is one of his profound statements, "I am finally beginning to realize that BFFL football is a lot like golf ... you have to be good to be lucky." Remember the Al Falcons Pre-Season rankings? I ranked Jeff with the last place team, and so far he has not let me down. The Red Ball Blitz is not 0-7 and headed for a big week 8 matchup with the #1 Seminole Nation. Can you say 0-8? Say it ain't so Columbo! Even though I haven't quit, I can't believe that 5 people in our league actually
think that the Red Ball Blitz will win this week. I think you guys
are a bunch of wishful thinkers. A 28+ point spread, that sounds
like Florida State vs. Mississippi Valley State or something. Only
time will tell, but the Red Ballers have to win sooner or later,
right? The Snoozers and Big Blue have been having a bit of a verbal battle with the Redskins vs. Giants being main topic of conversation. Big Blue (3-4 tie 5th) took out the Snoozers 76-63 in week 7. The Blue shows again that they are capable of big scores as Ladainian Tomlinson scores 22 , Tory Holt 16 and Randy Moss 10 take care of the Snoozers (4-3, tie 3rd). Ed himself was quoted as saying, "Fear Da Blue? You shouldn't!" After Julian called the Team "big Boo", the Blue fought back, "You have made a huge mistake my friend ....IT IS BLUUUU not BOOOOO! Didn't I take care of you last week? Giants beating the redskins (week 3) and Blue beating your team." Julian was quick to defend his beloved Skins, "Dont' worry big Booo and the Giants will go down the next time!" The Kings of Nothing (4-3, tie 3rd) defeated Spoilers
(2-5, 7th place) 82-50 for high score in week 7. The Kings exploded,
with 5 starters scoring 10 or more points and their bench scoring
71 pts as well. The Snoozers are next up in week 8 and the Kings
need some revenge for the week 1 loss. The WhoseYourDaddies (3-4
tie 5th) are still well within striking distance of the playoffs,
with a wins over the Red Ballers 75-53 in week 7 and the Kings of
Nothing 64-36 in week 6. Look out the Daddies are hot and facing
Lombardi Mania in week 8. Week 5 Notes Seminole Nation wins the battle for 1st place, while two games are decided on Monday Night Football. The Big matchup of the week between undefeated Seminole Nation and the Snoozers was a complete blow-out 97-34 for the Nation. They remain in 1st place at 5-0 and off to a franchise best record to begin the season. The Nation had 5 players in double digits in scoring, with Marvin Harrison and David Boston scoring over 20 each. What David Boston? I thought he was a Bust? Apparently not this week as he socred 2 TD and had 181 yds receiving for the week. OOOPPPSSS! I guess the Marty benching in week 4 light a fire under Bust-on's ass and he got his stuff together this week. The Nation hopes he has more games like this one the rest of the season. Next week's matchup Big Blue at Seminole Nation (-9.8). Read the BFFL implications of the Monday night game from hell for the WhoseYourDaddies and Big Blue teams. The short story, the Spoilers (1-4, tie 6th) get their first victory of the season by squeaking by the WhoseYourDaddies (1-4, tie 6th) 64-63 after Brad Johnson scored 20 pts. If the game had ended in regulation, the 'Daddies would have won 63-60 with Brad Johnson scoring only 16 pts, and 298 passing yards. The first play from scrimage for the Bucs and Johnson completed a 3 yd pass good for 301 yds and an extra 4 pts for the Spoilers. Bill was overcome with emotion after his first victory of the season, "Un-freaking-believable! Let me repeat: Un-freaking-believable! Holy cow! Phwew, I was late to work this morning because of the game." Big Blue (2-3, 5th place) entered the Monday matchup with a slim 65-64 lead over Lombardi Mania, with the Mania having Tampa Bay DT going in the game and Blue being finished. You would think that this game would be over early with the Bucs getting a sack or two early in the game. Think again, this fantasy game was not decided until 6.02 remained in the 4th quarter when Peyton Manning threw an INT to Ronde Barber who returned it for a TD. I don't know how long ESPN will keep this link up, but here is a link to their recap of the game. Lombardi Mania (4-1, tie 2nd) are a 1.4 pt favorite
over the 4-1 Snoozers in week 6. The winner will have either a piece
of 1st place, or sole position of 2nd place next week. Another good
matchup next week is between the WhoseYourDaddies and the Kings
of Nothing. The Kings of Nothing (3-2, 4th place) win for the 3rd
week in a row by putting the smack down on the Red Ball Blitz (0-5,
last place) 60-31. Never heard of the Red Ballers before? The Flying
Beavers called it quits after going 0-4 this year and have switched
team names. In a pre-game press release the Reb Ballers issued this
message, " I have a good feeling this week for my team. I'm
changing the name of my Franchise after 3-4 years to Red Ball Blitz.
I fired the GM(myself) and hired a new GM(myself again). Confusing?!?
I bet. A new stadium was built in Elkridge. It is 'Red', of course,and
the fans are told when the opposing fan cheers they are instructed
to put a red ball in their mouth." Well, after the first week
I can honeslty say this, the name is improved, but the team is not.
The Reb Ball Blitz is already in trouble of making the playoffs
as they are 3 games out of 4th place and in dead last. Next week's
matchup: Spoilers (-9.4) at Red Ball Blitz. Week 4 Notes Snoozers and Seminole Nation remain undefeated, Big Blue and Kings of Nothing break out! This year's BFFL has been dominated by the Snoozers (4-0 tie 1st place) and they win again, beating the WhoseYourDaddies (1-3, 6th place) 63-50. This week was an off week for Priest Holmes (4pts) and Laveranues Coles (3pts), but the other starters picked up the pace including Shannon Sharpe (16 pts), and Ashley Lelie (9pts). The WhoseYourDaddies could have not scored any more points with a 100% Efficiency Rating, but it was just not enough. In the hard luck game of the week the Seminole Nation (4-0 tie 1st place) put down the Spoilers (0-4 tie 7th place) 70-57. Peyton Manning exploded for 6 TD passes and 29 fantasy pts, but it was not enough because the Seminole Nation had Marvin Harrison and his 3 TD's and 30 fantasy pts. The GM of the Spoilers was shaken after the game, "Un-freaking-believable! I get 6 TD passes from Manning and I still can't win the G-D game. ARGH!" The Spoilers did not have much help for Manning, with the other 7 players scoring 27 pts.The Spoilers face the WhoseYourDaddies next week maybe they can get their first win, or else they will be an ugly 0-5. The Snoozers host the Seminole Nation in week 5 to determine who will be the last undefeated standing in this year's BFFL. The Snoozers are favored by 7.8 pts. Big Blue (2-2, tie 4th) busts out with 117 pts, crushing the Flying Beavers (0-4, tie 7th) and their measly 43 fantasy pts. The Big Blue machine was lead Randy Moss (31 pts), Ladainian Tomlinson (24 pts) and Torry Holt, (15 pts) for the Blue's second victory of the season. The 117 pts is not a league record for most points in a game, but probably in the top 5 or so. The Blue men were celebrating by 5:30 on Sunday when he wrote this, "Today you have got a taste of Big Blue. You are all forewarned". Oh, I am scared, aren't you..? NOT. I have already taken down the Blue men in week 2 and I look forward to kicking their ass again in week 9. We will let the trash-talking new guy have a pass on this one; his team was awesome this week. The GM of the Beavers was gracious in defeat, "Both my FFL teams suck and are 0-4. It's not over yet though. Only good thing is Dallas!!!" Come on Jeff, you really think the Cowgirls are going anywhere this year, they are a big 2-1. The Kings of Nothing (2-2 tie 4th) take down Lombardi Mania (3-1 3rd place) in a blow out 96-53 to get back on the winning track. The Kings got some help from the waiver wire this week by picking up and starting Jake Plummer (13pts), in all 5 players for the Kings scored 13 pts or more, including Stephen Davis in for the injuried Travis Henry, Chad Johnson, Duece McAllister and Jeff Wilkins.While the Washington Redskins did beat the NE Patriots 20-17 they did not help out the Mania with Patrick Ramsey coming back down to earth with 2 fan pts and Rod Gardner with a big Goose EGG. The GM of the Mania had predicted troubles going into this week because they had 4 players on bye and Clinton Portis hurt, "Well, I know a good ass-whooping when I see one. I told you'all that L-Mania would go down this weekend. Then again, I only need 69 points from Ahman Green tonight ('it's not over until it's over')." Ahman Green scored a nice 25 pts, but it was not enough for the Mania.
Week 3 Notes The Three Amigo's stay undefeated at 3-0!!
For Lombardi Mania, this winning early in the season is a new adventure, which GM Dale could get used to. " I feel strange because I'm usually one of those GM's desperate by this point in the season. This is an entirely different experience for me, and you guys who started out slow have to realize that, before the season is over, you are all going to win games and I that will probably do whatever I can to completely screw this up. " Well Dale, so far so good for your team! The Mania had a balanced scoring attack this week in their 51-28 demolishing of the Spoilers(0-3, tie for 7th place). Five out of the eight players for the Mania had 7 points or more, with the high scorer being Matt Hasselbeck with 12 pts. The Mania is now the owner of the #1 Fantasy QB in the BFFL, Patrick Ramsey and his 40 pts after three games. Yes, that is not a miss-print, Patrick Ramsey is the leading Fantasy QB through 3 weeks. Ramsey tried to overcome the 21-3 lead that the Giants built on the Skins in week 3, only to fail in OT 24-21, when the Giants scored on the only position of OT. Ed, the GM of the Big Blue team was quick to point out, "How light is the bandwagon this morning?" after the Skins first loss of the season. The Bandwagon is in park for now, we shall see about later in the season. The Seminole Nation put a hurting to the defending champs, the Kings of Nothing (1-2, tie 4th place) 53-35 in what could have been a lot closer game. The Nation was once again led by Lamal Lewis and his 15 fan pts and Mike Vanderjagt with 13 pts. The Kings thought they had a chance during the 1:00 games, but their hopes were dashed after the Sunday Night game between Buffalo and Miami. Travis Henry scored a big goose egg and was injured, while Eric Moulds scored a large 1 pt. Deuce McAllister and Aaron Brooks did not help out too much either with 1 and 6pts each. The Kings need for the Saints to get their stuff together, or they will be in a world of trouble the rest of the season. The WhoseYourDaddies(1-2, tie 4th place) won their first game of the season with a 73-49 victory over Big Blue(1-2, tie 4th place). The Daddies win the high score of the week thanks to Ricky Williams, Eddie George and KC Defense, all who scored 14pts or more. The Daddies take on the top rated Snoozers in week 4, should be a great game! With the Three Amigo's not playing each other until weeks 5-7, can they all go to 4-0 and separate themselves from the field even further? Right now a losing record gets you into the playoffs at 1-2.
Weeks 1&2 Notes Three teams remain undefeated at 2-0 after quick starts in the 10 year of the BFFL. The teams that Al Falcons predicted for 4th, 6th and 7th in the league are tops of the standings after 2 wins in a row. Let's start with the Lombardi-Mania, last year's Toilet Bowl loser. In their first week 1 victory since 1999 and the first time they have beaten the WhoseYourDaddies since 1999 as well, the Mania pulls out the upset 74-52. The Mania's first 2 picks of Clinton Portis and Ahman Green accounted for 22 and 17 pts respectively and put the Mania as the #2 scorer in week 1. Week 2 found the Mania taking out the Flying Beavers 83-54 as once again Ahman Green had a big day with 19 pts. The 2-0 start for Lombardi-Mania may be the best in franchise history! The Snoozers start the season 2-0 by taking down the defending
champs, the Kings of Nothing 80-59 in a week 1 rout. Priest Holmes
is back with vengance after posting 20 pts in week 1 and 27 in week
2. The Snoozers womp the Spoilers 84-43 in week 2 to take their
second high score of the week! This lead the GM of Lombardi-Mania
to exclaim, "As Jimmy (Jemma) Johnson would say: The third team on top of the standings is the Seminole Nation after victories over the Flying Beavers 63-41 and WhoseYourDaddies 76-63 in week 2. The Nation was lead in week 2 by the NFL record setting day of Jamal Lewis and his 295 yd rushing day. This accounted for a cool 33 Fan Pts and set an early season standard for all players.
Three of the four playoff teams from last season have started
out this year with 0-2 records, go figure! None of the undefeated
teams meet in week 3 so we could have 3 teams at 3-0 next week! 2003 Draft has been completed! See all the draft picks in the order they were taken or by the owner who picked them. I can't believe that the 2003 Draft actually took place, as we had a last minute draft start time change on the day of the draft. XM Radio was the location, this year we were in the Beatles conference room. Read all of Al Falcons' analysis of the draft here. It was great as usual and there is one "new guy", Ed and he has already started the trash talking, "My first words of advice to my opponent is Welcome to Big Blue's World. I hope your ass whoopin won't hurt to much!" Everyone else thinks that the Big Blue team is headed for the Toilet Bowl, you will have to see how Al Falcons' rated his team. Dale seemed to think that everyone had a decent draft, "I was looking at the rosters this morning. I don't think I can remember seeing a more competitive set of eight teams to start out a season. " I moved Dale's Toilet Bowl pictures to this page:
