Mid-Season Report

Greetings FFL owners, we are half way through the FFL-GOO regular season. We get great recaps each week from the CBS “fantasy journalist” but let’s take the macro look at the halfway point from your resident and long-time human FFLGOO journalist.

The Froglickers and the Armadillos share the league’s best record at 6-1 and the Froglickers have scored exactly ONE more point through 7 games: 611.5 to 610.5. The Boxboro Blowfish (4-2) enjoy a small lead in the overall points race at 632. Three other teams: Big Bang (4-3; 600.5), Thorobreds (3-3; 597.5) and Wildcats (2-5; 583) are within 50 points.

In the division races, Froglickers have a two-game lead over Blowfish in the Cappelletti Division, and Dallas has a two-game lead over Miami (4-2-1) in the Paterno Division. The Big Bang leads Keystone (3-3-1) by a half-game in the Engle Division.

Only 5 of our 13 teams have winning records at the half way point.

At the bottom, the Beach Dudes are buried in the sand at 0-6 and are 260 points off the lead. Reminder that Orange County was a playoff team last year. Also in the category of “what a difference a year makes” is the defending champs: Chicago Mud is 3-2-1 and 10th in overall points.

And finally I’ll take a journalistic “license to whine” moment to point out the Bad New Wildcats: the newly-relocated Connecticut team has been clobbered in a rather unprecendented fashion this season: the last 5 weeks the Wildcats opponents have scored: 92, 92.5, 90, 113, 93.
