FFL players with 100 or more points as a starter in 2001

The Keystone Longfellows outlasted the Boston Wildcats in the highest-scoring Fantasy Bowl in league history, grabbing the league championship with a 91-78 win. RB Marshall Faulk was the undisputed playoff MVP for the Longfellows, following up last week’s 34-point performance with 32 points this week. Faulk saved his best two weeks for the playoffs and, in the process, defeated the two fantasy teams (BOS and NYG) that previously owned him. Keystone also saw WRs Darrell Jackson (20) and Plaxico Burress (17) post their highest scores of the season.

For the Boston Wildcats, let the comparisons to the Buffalo Bills begin. BOS is the first team in league history to appear in 3 consecutive Fantasy Bowls and also holds the unenviable distinction of being the first team to lose 3 consecutive Fantasy Bowls. The Wildcats were also hampered by the Patriot’s bye-week, losing starting RB Antowain Smith who has been averaging 14 points per week over the past 5 weeks.

“If someone told me beforehand the Wildcats would score 78 points, I would have been thrilled” Boston owner Ron Yeany said. “My team had an awesome game, and Keystone had an even better game. No disappointment here. My congratulations to Terry Muth. It will be nice to see a new name on the trophy.”

Third Place Game

Graynbald Mud defeated the New York Griffins 30-15 to capture a third-place finish in the playoffs. RB Priest Holmes provided the bulk of GBM’s points. Holmes has scored 83 points in the past 6 weeks and is the 4th-highest scoring overall player in the league this year. The once-formidable NYG receiving corps managed only 2 points on the weekend.

Consolation Playoffs

Big Oregon Bang easily dispatched last year’s champion Syracuse Blizzard by a 63-12 score. WR David Boston lead the Big Bang with 20 points. Boston has scored in all but 2 weeks this season and has 134 points on the year, making him the 4th-highest scoring WR in the league.

Points Race

The Boston Wildcats repeat as points champions, finishing the year with 1102 points, 181 points ahead of second-place Oregon. The Miami Muffdivers take the consolation points prize (top points of non-playoff teams) with 793.

Quoteable:

“Bring on the games! We need them to resume to a semblance of normal life – it’s entertainment as much as TV, movies, plays and books. It’s not a more trivial part of life, it’s just a different part that is more important and interesting for some than others. But as most of us have had to continue working and going about our daily lives since 9/11, I don’t consider it disrespectful at this time to have athletes return to work also, and do their thing – entertain. Now let’s get the bastards – God Bless America and the FFL!”
— Mission Viejo owner Ross Hessler, when submitting his Week 2 lineup.

“1) I’m taking offers for the #1 draft pick for next year. 2) Nick and I confirmed it this afternoon – after the first 9 picks of the 1st round of the draft, the rest of the picks are useless!!! I say do away with the draft”
— Frog Lickers owner Dave Zilberfarb.

“Ying, what NFL team does my players play on … having trouble recognizing my guys, they’re nonames.”
— you only get one guess on this one

Quoteable:

“If Eggo can’t beat me this week, he never will!!”
— FrogLickers owner David Zilberfarb, prior to losing to MIA 30-25 in week one.

“Please thank Trez for drafting for me this year. His position is Personnel Fill-In LEVEL 1. He is commissioned at 1/2 team earnings.”
— Raptors owner Chris Lieberman. (Editor’s note: last time I checked, half of nothing was still nothing.)

“Looking at my roster the obvious question that comes to mind is ‘Was I brain-dead on draft day or what?’ This could be a long season.”
— Blizzard owner, and defending champion, Doug Weaver.

“My trade for Mike Anderson doesn’t look all that bad right now does it Nick? The root pal.”
— Nightmare owner Dan Callahan, top scorer in week one.
