Griffins – Armadillos Finish 1-2 in Points Race
Dallas finished second in points with 951, a dramatic turnaround from 2005 when the Armadillos finished dead last in points (601). Keystone with 921 and Oregon with 916 finished a close 3rd and 4th. Mercer finished with 887 points, dropping from 2nd to 5th place over the past two weeks, but will take the consolation points award. The Froglickers, with 651, finish last in points.
And RB Tiki Barber saved his best for last — his 41 points in week 17 was the high individual performance in the league this year.
Griffins edge Big Bang 70-68 in Fantasy Bowl XV
The Philadelphia Griffins, who lost the 2003 Fantasy Bowl to Oregon by 2 points, turned the tables this year and won Fantasy Bowl XV and the league championship with a 70-68 win over the Big Oregon Bang. The story for the Griffins was RB Ron Dayne, who posted a career game and 26 points. The story for the Big Bang was missed opportunities — Mark Clayton (11 points), Philip Rivers (8) and Laurence Maroney (6) all were on the bench, and any single one of them in the starting lineup would have given Oregon the slight edge.
The Dallas Armadillos easily defeated Keystone 90-52 to capture third place. Dallas’ 90 points was the high score of the week, and vaults the Armadillos into second place overall in points going into the final weekend.
The Happy Valley Violence beat MassIll 56-18 to win the consolation bracket. And in the Cellar Dweller finals, Richburgh defeated Orange County 53-47, leaving the Beach Dudes as the 2006 Ultimate Cellar Dweller.
Griffins and Big Bang will battle in Fantasy Bowl XV
The Philadelphia Griffins and Big Oregon Bang will battle for the league championship in Fantasy Bowl XV. The Griffins beat Dallas 89-75. PHI and DAL were the two highest scoring teams of the week.
In the other semifinal, Oregon beat Keystone 48-35 and the Big Bang will return to the Fantasy Bowl for the second consecutive year and 3rd time in the past 4 years.
These teams met in recent history — in 2003, the Big Bang beat the Griffins in Fantasy Bowl XII by an 89-87 score. It was the highest scoring Fantasy Bowl, and also the closest margin of victory in the Fantasy Bowl history.
In the consolation bracket, Happy Valley will face Miami for the consolation bracket title. Happy Valley and MassIll finished their game in a 31-31 tie, but as the higher seed, HVV moves on.
The Blizzard and the Froglickers both made it out of the Cellar Dwellar bracket, so Richburgh will face Orange Country for the Ultimate Cellar Dwellar.

THURSDAY GAMES: Thursday games happen every week now through week 16. And starting week 15 there are Saturday games as well. Please submit lineups accordingly, esp. if you have players in these games. NFL schedule week 13 onward.
TRANSACTIONS REMINDER: Teams can no longer add RBs, WRs or TEs. Teams can add QBs or Ks through week 16, but only if the team drops a QB or a K.
Playoff picture remains murky
Six teams will fight for 3 playoff spots going into the final week
With Week 13 in the books, the races are still tight. Keystone is the only team assured of a top-tier playoff spot — Philadelphia, Mercer, Dallas, Oregon, MassIll and Happy Valley are all in the running for top-tier playoff spots.
In the Cappelletti Division, both leaders lost: MIM fell to DAL 63-42 while BOB lost to RIB 46-41. Meanwhile, HVV won big over BOS, 62-34. It’s possible the Cappelletti Division could end in a 3-way tie … a scenario that currently looks most favorable to the Violence under tiebreaker rules.
In the Paterno Division, PHI takes a 1-game lead over MER. MER, however, holds the tiebreaker edge over PHI, so this race will go down to the final week as well.
DAL, a winner over MIM, remains in a strong position for the Wild Card slot, but could also find themselves outside looking in if they end up tied with PHI for the Wild Card, as PHI holds the tiebreaker edge over DAL.
THURSDAY GAMES: Thursday games happen every week now through week 16. And starting week 15 there are Saturday games as well. Please submit lineups accordingly, esp. if you have players in these games. NFL schedule week 13 onward.
Keystone clinches division and #1 seed
Keystone rebounded after their first loss of the season, beating the Froglickers 49-26 and clinching the Engle Division title as well as the #1 seed throughout the playoffs. The Griffins needed a come-from-behind win to remain tied with Mercer at 8-4 atop the Paterno Division. And both the Mud and Big Bang remain tied at 7-5 atop the Cappelletti Division.
THURSDAY GAMES: Thursday games happen every week now through week 16. And starting week 15 there are Saturday games as well. Please submit lineups accordingly, esp. if you have players in these games. NFL schedule week 13 onward.
Playoff Outlook:
Engle – KEY (11-1) has clinched division and #1 seed throughout playoffs. DAL (8-4) is in the running for Wild Card. BOS (6-6) and RIB (2-10) out of top-tier contention.
Paterno – MER and PHI are tied at 8-4. MIA (5-7), NCT and OCD (both 4-8) are out of top-tier contention.
Cappelletti – BOB and MIM are tied at 7-5. HVV and SYR (both 5-7) are not technically eliminated in the division race but would need to win final two games and get a lot of help. Neither would content for the Wild Card. HVV’s 5-2 record in the division could help. FFL (4-8) is out of top-tier contention.
Wild Card – This will be between 3 teams: Dallas, and the 2nd place teams in the tied divisions (MER/PHI and BOB/MIM). Head-to-head tiebreakers will be key. MIM’s season is basically on the line this week in their game vs. DAL. PHI has beaten DAL this year (week 6), while MER lost to DAL this year (week 3). BOB did not play DAL this year and the two are currently fewer than 20 points apart in the point standings.
Keystone winning streak snapped
Keystone’s perfect season came to a crashing halt this week, in large part dues to injuries to Donovan McNabb and Marques Colston. The Longfellows lost to division foe Dallas 49-17. The good news for Keystone is a 10-1 record and at least a share of the Engle Division title. The bad news is a lot of question marks in the lineup.
Both Oregon and Mercer grabbed shares of their respective division leads this week by knocking off the division leaders. Mercer had the high score of the week and took Philadelphia to the woodshed by a 73-62 score, tying the Griffins for the Paterno division lead. Oregon did the same in beating MassIll 63-25, grabbing a share of the Cappelletti division lead.
And the bad news continues for Keystone in the overall points race: both Philadelphia (1) and Mercer (2) leapfrogged the Longfellows this week, who drop to 3rd in points.
Week 10 News and Notes
A few important notes:
1) The trade deadline is kickoff this week (Sun. Nov. 19)
2) Transactions go back to first-come, first-serve after kickoff this week
3) The web site won’t be updated with week 11 game results until Tuesday night, Nov. 21st. Lineups and transactions should be submitted via the online forms or via email to ryeany@gmail.com.
Random Notes:
There was a Chad Johnson sighting this week. Johnson scored a combined 25 points through the first 9 weeks. In week 10 alone, he scored 35 (high in the league this week).
The highest-scoring WR in the league so far this year is rookie Marques Colston with 81 points. Colston was the 120th player drafted this year.
The three top performances all time in the league were all turned in by running backs: Shaun Alexander (297 points in 2005), Terrell Davis (293 points in 1998), and Priest Holmes (292 points in 2002).
LaDainian Tomlinson is on a pace to score 311 points this year (averaging 18.3 pts. week).
Tomlinson was drafted by the Griffins as the 2nd pick in 2001 draft and has been on Nick’s roster ever since. Who was drafted #1 that year? The GBM Mud took RB Michael Bennett.
I added a table of the top players at each position in each year in the Records section.
Longfellows tie best start in league history at 10-0; clinches at least tie for Engle Division
Keystone’s perfect season continues, thanks to a touchdown from Keyshawn “just give me the damn ball” Johnson in the Monday night game. The Longfellows needed Johnson’s TD to slip past the OCD Beach Dudes 66-55. Keystone is only the second team in league history to start the season 10-0. In 1993, the LA Riot! started the season 10-0, lost in weeks 11 and 12, and then ran the table to win the Fantasy Bowl.
Two other teams have had 10-game winning streaks in league history: Mercer in 1999 and Boston in 1997. Keystone will next try to tie the longest winning streak in league history — the New York Griffins had an 11-game winning streak in 1995 (which ended with a loss in the Fantasy Bowl to the Wisconsin Cheeseheads).
Keystone also clinched at least a tie for the Engle Division title, now leading the second-place DAL Armadillos by 4 games, with 4 regular season games remaining.
Tiki Barber traded to Keystone
Finding themselves a bit thin at running back with Tatum Bell’s injury, the Keystone Longfellows Sunday went out and sealed a deal to shore up their ground game for a playoff run, acquiring Tiki Barber from the Orange County Beach Dudes for a 2007 1st-round draft pick and RB Michael Robinson.
WEEK 10 SCORING CHANGE: Note there was an NFL scoring change in week 10, which gave Donovan McNabb another TD pass, resulting in Keystone getting 7 more points. Keystone beat Orange County by a score of 66-55, not 59-55 as reported last week.
Keystone remains undefeated
Despite the fact the Longfellows started two players who were ruled out before kickoff (RB Tatum Bell and WR Joe Horn), Keystone remained undefeated, improving to 9-0 following a 56-45 win over the defending champion NCT Thorobreds, who also started two players who were ruled out before kickoff (WRs Santana Moss and Plaxico Burress).
MassILL will maintain a one-game lead in the Cappelletti Divison with a 34-25 win over Miami, and Philadelphia retains a one-game lead in the Paterno Division.
Goliath prevails
When 4-3 Syracuse submitted their lineup this week for their contest with 7-0 Keystone, SYR owner Doug Weaver likened the situation as David vs. Goliath — “except I don’t have any stones to hurl – just the walking wounded on loser teams.”
But those walking wounded took a 53-50 lead over the Longfellows into the Monday night game. Keystone prevailed, however, when rookie Patriot WR Chad Jackson’s only catch of the night was a touchdown. Keystone moves to 8-0 with a 56-53 win over Syracuse.
Owens traded: In a trade just before kickoff Sunday, the RIB Raptors traded WR Terrell Owens to the PHI Griffins for QB David Carr and a conditional 2007 draft pick. Owens posted 7 points for PHI (107 yards receiving, 2-pt reception). Carr was benched in the second half of the Texans’ game and scored -1 for Richburgh. Reminder: the trade deadline is kickoff Week 11.
And at the halfway mark …
We’re halfway through the regular season and it’s certainly been an interesting first half. Keystone is setting the pace: leading in points plus the only team at 7-0. And with a 3-game lead already in the Engle Division, the Longfellows might clinch a division title in record time.
However, if your name isn’t Keystone and you’re not in the Engle Division, you have at least two losses but are still within a game or two of your division lead. The Paterno Division is particularly curious this year, where all 5 teams are within one game of each other in both overall record and intra-division record.
One zero remains
With the FFL Froglickers picking up their first win of the season 62-44 over Richburgh, we have no winless teams left in the league this season. Only one “zero” remains in the standings: Keystone is the top-scoring team and is the only remaining unbeaten team at 6-0. And with the way QB Donovan McNabb is putting points on the board this year, would it be any surprise if we had our first team ever to run the board with an undefeated season?
