Important Dates:Protection deadline: midnight THIS FRIDAY, Aug. 27. E-mail your list to Ying. NCT (formerly NDV), BOB, KEY, OCD, MIA, MER and FFL can protect 6 players (one at prospect). All other teams can protect 5 players (one at prospect). Draft: By consensus, we've moved the draft to 10:00 a.m., Saturday Sept. 3. LEAGUE SPREADSHEET - Excel file Trades:We've had a few trades leading up to the protection deadline. I'll post pre-protection transactions here on the home page through the protection deadline, because I won't be getting the 2005 web site online for about another week.
* - If Bennett scores 150+ pts, SYR receives RMD's 1st round pick. If 100-149 points, it's a 2nd round pick. If 50-99 points, it's a 3rd round pick. If < 50 points, it's a last round pick. Points count whether Bennett is in starting lineup or not. New Denver 2x4s are sawdust ... welcome the New Chester ThorobredsThe New Denver 2x4s, coming off the worst season of any team in FFL history (0-16), have changed the franchise name to the New Chester Thorobreds. Co-owner Mike White announced the new team name Monday, noting the new franchise name is simply studs of a different color. The new name also reflects the new location of co-owner Rich Sladic, who has moved the corporate offices for his half of the franchise to Winchester, KY. Rule Change ResultsOnly 2 of the 7 proposed rule changes were passed by owners. Both rule changes will take effect this season: 1) Dropped players may be re-added by the team that dropped them after one week. ========================================================= Draft Lottery Order DrawnFollowing the 18th Carbon House Road Rally on May 8, owners from four FFL teams drew the cards for the 2005 draft lottery. In attendance were Ying, Nick, Waugh, Trz, Slick and Chris (Paret, not Nibs). The number of chances were posted here on the home page at the end of the season (scroll down page). The first 7 picks of the 2005 FFL Draft will go in this order:
Blizzard wins Fantasy Bowl XIIIGriffins-Wildcats finish 1-2 in points for 2nd consecutive year; Violence wins consolation points award; MER & NDV tie for lowest pointsNone of the top 5 teams (pts.) made the playoffs this yearThe Syracuse Blizzard captured the franchise's second league championship with a 59-27 win over the Graynbald Mud in Fantasy Bowl XIII. The Richmond Raptors won 3rd place with a tight 63-60 win over the Dallas Armadillos. In the consolation bracket, the Philadelphia Griffins stopped the Boston Wildcats' streak of 100+ point games with one of their own, easily ousting the Wildcats 109-61. Philadelphia took the points championship with 1,144 points overall, second highest in league history (Griffins scored 1,209 in 1998). Boston was runner-up in overall points with 1,037. It's the 3rd time in league history with two teams breaking 1000 points in a season. This is also the second consecutive year the Griffins-Wildcats finished 1-2 in points, and the third time overall (also 1995). Additionally, in both 1997 and 2000, it was Wildcats #1 and Griffins #2 in total points. In fact, since 1994, either the Griffins or Wildcats have made an appearance in the top 2 in overall points every single year. The consolation points award goes to the newest owners in the league -- the Happy Valley Violence, who finished 3rd overall in points. HVV edged the Keystone Longfellows by ONE SINGLE POINT: 953-952 to grab the season's final award. The Orange County Beach Dudes finished a close 5th in overall points at 947. Dan's last-minute benching of Tom Brady (9 pts.) in favor of Josh McCown (-1 pts.) cost the Dudes the consolation points award. Note the oddity in this fact: the 5 top scoring teams on the season failed to make the top-tier playoffs. After 16 consecutive losses, the New Denver 2x4s capture the Official Cellar Dwellar title, losing 34-25 to the Miami Muffdivers. The 2x4s also slipped into a last-place tie with the Mercer Mustangs in overall points. Both teams finished with 526. Points trivia:
Scalped: Mud no longer gray/baldGreat GraynBald grapple with gut wrenching name change!In this day and age of quick fix, cosmetic surgery, botox and tummy tucks, the GraynBald Mud are undergoing an extreme makeover moment. In an effort to boost self confidence, they will give up their non-traditional nomenclature and go with the ‘old school’ land grab identification technique. The GraynBald Mud will now be christened the MASS-ILL Mud! When asked for a comment the prematurely “Gray” Ron Feldman said that his efforts to lure strange women into his studio apartment were curtailed when he revealed his fantasy football team name. He believes the new name and increased attention to fantasy football minutia will improve his women wooing efforts. Several attempts were made to contact the “Baldish” Greg MacInnis, however it was believed that he is busy producing more Irish Catholic children and was unreachable for comment. So the GraynBald Mud are no more and will fade into football history along with the Houston Oilers, Los Angeles Rams, Baltimore Colts and Montreal Alouettes. And somewhere the great George Halas is rolling over in his grave. We’re all feeling some mass ill indeed… P.S. upon further review the Alouettes are still playing somewhere up north, ay.
