Well, we all pulled out our best team names, and Dusty was triumphant… INFUEGO!

• All Auffarth Final – Little bro nut punches older bro… film at 11
• Dusty – 7-6, 158 avg pf – 154 avg pa. Holding his .500 average, and winning the crown… priceless
• Shawn – 2 consecutive 2^nd place finishes… Bridesmaid again?
• Mike – has his best statistical season ever, 10-3 2132 PF… 2 legit 2 quit
• Bill – Are you f@#%&ing kidding me!!! 1^st place conf. finish, 2000+ points?!?! Almost a Can O’ Whomp Ass… 4^th place
• Marc – Overcomes 139 point deficit in the final 3 weeks to take the point total away from Mike by 6 points… just another “also ran”
• Brad – Snuck into playoffs in a weak division… “King of the Losers”
• Matt – Owner of the lowest 1-week score for the year… way to make use of the overall #1 pick
• Chris – 16 wins over the last 3 years, no playoffs… how the mighty have fallen
• Russell – 34 wins over the last 7 years… do the math
• Paul – least we forget Paul… thanks for the contribution (it could’a been worse- see below)

If you all recall, I had an idea to generate some more income for the payouts, and add a little fun. The general explanation is that the high score for the week get $5, and the low scorer pays $10. Here’s how that would have broke down:

Mike +20 (4 high scoring weeks)

Marc +15 (3 high scoring weeks)

Dusty 0 (2 high scoring weeks, 1 low scoring week)

Bill 0 (2 high scoring weeks, 1 low scoring week)

Shawn -5 (3 high scoring weeks, 2 low scoring weeks)

Brad -5 (1 high scoring week, 1 low scoring week)

Russ -10 (1 low scoring week)

Matt -15 (1 high scoring week, 2 low scoring weeks)

Chris -20 (2 low scoring weeks)

Paul -60 (6 low scoring weeks)

Using an arbitrary scoring system of +2 for the winner of the round +1 for honorable mention winner, and -2 for loser of the round and -1 for honorable mention loser, this is the goods:

Marc +8 Common

Brad +5 Last year’s negative number a fluke?

Russell +5 (+20) over the last 5 years, yet only 23 wins total in that span… baffling…

Dusty +4 How does the champ only have a (+4)… oh yeah… LUCKY!

Chris +2 Do something!

Bill +1 Back on track in the plus column

Mike -3 Alfred Morris deserves more than a +2…

Shawn -4 Quoteth the Bridesmaid… Nevermore!

Paul -6 Rounding out the bottom yet again

Matt -8 Rounding out the bottom yet again

NFC (Mike, Marc, Shawn, Chris, Russell) +8 Sans the cupcake (Matt). This division was clearly superior!

AFC (Bill, Dusty, Brad, Matt, Paul) -4 Mike… see anything can happen…

*NFC outscored the AFC during the season: 9877 - 9730

Draft Savvy tallies: follow this link to see details

Drafting Observations:

Brad – Developing a pattern of 2/3 good rounds followed by 2 bad rounds in the top ½ of the draft

Marc – Typically hits a home run in round 11. Highest value for a particular round with a (+11) overall

Matt – the gambler. Lots of +/- hits on the board, but just 46% are positive, but you gotta gamble to win!

Russell – Good overall drafter, 58% positive hits, but dies in rounds 14-20, (-9) overall there

Dusty – tied with Bill for worst performance in a round, (-10), in round 7, recoups in rd. 8/9 for a (+10)

Shawn – cleans up in rds. 1-5, (+21), wow! But Loses it in rounds 9-13, (-13)

Bill – (-10) in round 6, only 37% good hit percentage, that’s worse than Mike!

Chris – Hits early, and then pretty even keel till the late rounds

Paul – (-9) in first round. Bad trend. Need to fix the 1^st round blunders!

Mike – Only 82 total good/bad hits. Lowest of the long-timers. Needs to take more chances

In the championship game the last 2 years… Lost.

Looking to take the team name “Bills” in 2 years

Marc: 3-1

You throw enough good teams at the wall, and one’s bound to stick

Brad: 5-1

Becoming a steady playa

Mike: 7-1

I still have a hard time believing this…

Russell: 8-1

It can’t rain all the time. If I have to pick a bounce back, I guess I pick this fag

Paul: 10-1

Typically finds a way to fluke his way in

Bill: 11-1

1 more good year, and I’ll believe he’s got his balls back

Chris: 20-1

Has anyone seen Chris lately? Just look down in the standings

Dusty 25-1

C’mon, do you really think you can back that up?

Matt: 30-1

T minus 15 years and counting

Hate you guys!
