PLAYOFF ANALYSIS

The Griz (8-4) – Clinched either 1st or 2^nd seed.  The Griz need a win this week to ensure they get the number 1 seed. They are still tied with the Meat Tornado, but have scored 41 more points this season, which acts as the tie-breaker.  The Griz have a tough match-up against Team Washburn in week 13.

The Swanson Meat Tornado (8-4) – Clinched either 1^st or 2^nd seed.  To overtake the 1^st seed, The Meat Tornado must either win, while The Griz loses, or outscore the Griz by 42 points if both teams win or lose.  The Meat Tornado has a tough match-up against A Cinderella Story in week 13.

Team Washburn (6-6) – Clinched a playoff spot.  Team Washburn is now playing for home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.  If they beat the Griz this week, they will lock it up.  If Washburn loses, and A Cinderella Story and One Goal win, they will lose home field advantage.  They play the Griz in week 13.

A Cinderella Story (6-6) – Clinched a playoff spot.  Cinderella is also playing for home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.  If they beat The Meat Tornado, they will lock it up.  If Cinderella loses, and One Goal wins, they will lose it.  They also may lose home field if they lose and The California Defenders win, and score 26 more points in week 13.

One Goal 2012 (6-6) – In playoff hunt.  One Goal will lock up a playoff spot if they beat Team Boutsis.  If One Goal loses, they would still make the playoffs if the California Defenders lose to Show Me Your TD’s.

California Defenders (5-7) – In playoff hunt.  If the Defenders beat Show Me Your TD’s, they will lock up a playoff spot.  If they lose, Team Boutsis must also lose for The Defenders to make the playoffs.

Team Boutsis (5-7) – In playoff hunt.  If Team Boutsis beats One Goal 2012, they will make the playoffs.  If they lose, there is no chance to make the playoffs.

Show Me Your TD’s (4-8) – Out of the playoffs.  Sorry Geoff . . . you can still ruin Jordan’s season though . . .

THE DETMER AWARD

Week 12’s Detmer Award goes to Jordan Pierson, and the California Defenders.  The beat A Cinderella Story 204-155.  Although he is happy that his team is perfoming well at the end of the regular season, his sights are primarily set on making the playoffs.  He commented:

”I guarantee a playoff spot. If I’m wrong, I’ll give Commissioner Pierson permission to edit my logo as punishment.”

FINAL THOUGHTS

- Set your lineups

- Playoffs start next week!

- Good luck!

PFL - WEEK 12

WEEK 11 RECAP

Week 11’s biggest story was that One Goal 2012, upset A Cinderella Story.  Led by Andrew Luck, Jeff defeated Mitch 165–146.  Jeff had some comments for Mitch after the game:

"Mitch is a great guy, and I wish him the best. Not everybody is cut out for football at this level. Next year he could maybe call up Timmy and get something going that is more to his pace. It’s nothing personal but maybe he should stick to the basketball court from now on."

PLAYOFF ANALYSIS

The Griz – Clinched a playoff spot.  The Griz are now fighting to keep home field advantage, and are now tied with the Meat Tornado for the number 1 seed.  The Griz holds the tie-breaker since they have scored 47 more points so far this season.

The Swanson Meat Tornado – Clinched a playoff spot. They currently have the number 2 seed, and need to stay at least 1 game ahead of A Cinderella Story to keep it.  Cinderella Story holds the tie-breaker.

Team Washburn – Although they haven’t officially clenched a spot yet, they are the next closest to securing a playoff spot.  They are 1 game behind the Griz, and only need to tie Clark’s team to steal the #1 seed.

A Cinderella Story – Is in a similar position with Team Washburn.  They need to tie the Commissioner’s team to steal the #1 or #2 seed.  They also only need to tie, since they hold the tie-breaker over the Meat Tornado.

Team Boutsis – Is currently in the playoffs by 1 game.  Their biggest threat is either the California defenders, or Show Me Your TD’s stealing their spot.  Both are one game behind Team Boutsis, and both hold the tie-breaker over George’s team.

One Goal 2012 – Is currently in the playoffs by 1 game.  Their biggest threat is either the California defenders, or Show Me Your TD’s stealing their spot.  Both are one game behind One Goal 2012, and both hold the tie-breaker over Jeff’s team.

California Defenders – Is currently out of the playoffs by 1 game.  They need to at least tie with One Goal 2012 or Team Boutsis to make the playoffs.

Show Me Your TD’s – Is currently out of the playoffs by 1 game.  They need to at least tie with One Goal 2012 or Team Boutsis to make the playoffs.

THE DETMER AWARD

Led by Andre Johnson, Show Me Your TD’s dominated The Griz 198–128.  When asked for comment on his 2^nd Detmer of the season, Geoff replied:

”I’m sure the Native Americans remember Thanksgiving a little different than we do.  Smallpox, seeing white people for the first time, and being forced by firestick to eat at a table.  Makes you think about $*#@, ya know . . .”

Geoff goes on to play Jeff Pierson of One Goal.  The winner will be on track to make the playoffs.

FINAL THOUGHTS

- Set your lineups

- Playoffs are in 2 weeks . . .

THE DETMER AWARD

Clark covered his whole face, so that if he ever became a politician,

this photo wouldn't come back to haunt him . . .

Mitch could not have had a better week last week.  He won the wager against Clark Pierson (Clark’s team was renamed “Mitch’s JV Team”, and he had to take the “bra” picture).  He also moved up in the power rankings, and he won his 3^rd strait Detmer award (4 total on the season).  After last week’s game, Mitch commented:

"Clark is a great guy, and I wish him the best. Not everybody is cut out for football at this level. Next year he could maybe call up Timmy and get something going thatis more to his pace. It’s nothing personal but maybe he should stick to the basketball court from now on."

As of right now, Mitch holds the #2 seed for the playoffs; and goes on the face One Goal 2012 in week 11.

ANONYMOUS NOTE TO ONE GOAL 2012

This week I received an anonymous letter for One Goal 2012:

"This email is from an anonymous owner (GRIZ)

What is worse?  Joe Pierson setting his lineup each week and sucking....or Jeff Pierson setting his lineup each week and sucking worse?  This anonymous owner would like to set in motion a petition to investigate (One Goal 2012) to see if it just looks like he has thrown in the towel or is he actually doing it.  By the way...One Goal 2012 for what?  Losing!  

This once proud owner is in dead last place by 135 points to Team Boutsis, (a team that was inherited from Joe Pierson) arguably the worse owner in our history and 152 points behind "Show me your TD's" what ever that means and who starts Andy Dalton and Josh Freeman...

If Jeff is actually trying to win, we have bigger problems....if he is trying to lose to get the #1 draft next year, someone needs to tell him that is not how this league is set up.  Hopefully he will become competitive soon as to not continue to bring the rest of the league down to his level.

Anonymous  (GRIZ)"

When asked for comment, Jeff Pierson replied:

"No comment . . . Well, one comment . . . I at least am still in the playoffs.  Whereas half of the Cosmo Kramer division is not . . ."

FINAL THOUGHTS

- Set your lineups

- Playoffs are in 3 weeks . . .

- Good luck in week 11!
