It truly was an upset. Mark, you really had an awesome year. You pretty much dominated all of us all year. Don, you became the Denver Broncos to some extent. I think Denver lost 3 or 4 Super Bowls before they finally won it all. I think Don has been to the championship game 3 or 4 times and never won it all until now. I guess Don wants an Aikman jersey ( who???). No, I'm sure even the young guys remember him. I hope we can find one in the 70 to 100 dollar range. I'm not even sure what retired player jerseys are going for. I want to call some of you and find out a night to go out to eat. I hope everyone will be able to come out as a nice way to end the season. Talk to you later.

Week 15 playoff results

At least I was half rights on my prognostications. Our championship matchup is set. The player of the week was LaDainian Tomlinson with 43 pts ( in the first half). Imagine if he played the 2nd half? This was a tough week in general with everyone's scores down.

Blue Stars 154
Gridiron Gal 118

Laurie was finally hurt with Dallas having an off week offensively. Congratulations though for greatly improving her team this year. Tomlinson led the Blue Stars while Dallas' defense led the GG's with 31 pts.

Dragonriders 189
Cory's team 123

Cory was definitely hurt by the difficult weather affecting play last Sunday at Gillette. A fine season by both combatants who were rookies in our league but played like grizzled veterans. Frank Gore led Cory with 34 pts while Clinton Portis was the Dragonriders top player with 37 pts.

So that sets up what should be an exciting matchup in the first ever FHLOG Bowl. The matchups look pretty even but the Dragonriders seem destined after their 13 - 2 record so far. I just hope Jessica Simpson doesn't show up and make everyone nervous.

Week 14 deals, highlights, and scores

Well that's it for the regular season. This was a very interesting season with ups and downs for everyone. Some have switched gears to next season while others still have a lot to play for. I hope Mark, Laurie, Don, and Cory ( wherever you are) have started thinking about where they would like to eat and which jersey they would like. I personally enjoyed this season fighting and scratching for wins ( I know wah, wah, injuries, injuries). Last week I forgot to post that Don acquired wr, Colston from Brady's Bunch for 700 credits and dropping wr, Evans. This week, (I think everyone already knows about the trade) I traded wr, Moss, te, Gates, and rb A. Peterson ( Minn) to the Blue Stars for 2 picks and 1500 credits. Right now it is his 3rd and 5th rounder next year. If he wins against Gridiron Gal, it becomes a 2nd and 5th rd pick. If Don wins it all, it becomes a 1st and a 4th rd pick. Cory would have had to lose to Dan ( wasn't going to happen). I would have had to win against Bill, score 53 pts more than Don, and Don would have had to lose to the Dragonriders. I didn't think that would happen so I decided to set up my team for next year. Player of the week was # 12 Thomas Brady of your New England Patriots ( also starting for the 2008 Orange Crush edition) with 82 pts.

Dragonriders 258
Blue Stars 241

This was like watching Texas Tech play Hawaii. Wow, what a high scoring affair. This could be a preview of FHLOG BOWL I. This one came down to the Indy-Balt game with the Riders winning a close one. Top player for the Riders was qb P. Manning with 49 pts with Don's top player being rb Tomlinson with 55 pts.

Belugas 212
Gridiron Gal 189

Bob finishes his season strong with an upset win. His top player was qb Brees with 51 pts while the GG's were led by M. Barber with 45 pts.

Gruesome Goroos 137
Brady's Bunch 127

Wow Bill, I gave up and you still lost . I only filled 6 of 9 positions. I'm not boasting, it's just that Bill, you really stink. My top player was rb Grant with 52 pts while qb Hasselbeck led the Bunch with 44 pts.

Cory 258
O. C. 160

Cutler led the O. C. with 42 pts while Brady's 82 pts led Cory's squad to a convincing win.

Week 15 matchups

Gridiron Gal at Blue Stars

Cory's team at Dragonriders

I've checked out the individual matchups and the NFL is hard to predict but I think Don and Cory will win ( no disrespect Laurie and Mark). I'm sure you want to thank me for the kiss of death. It really depends on that NE - JETS matchup and how badly the Pats want to grind those pathetic Jets into dust. How many yards and tds will Brady have? Who will he throw to most, Moss or Welker? Cory's success depends so heavily on the Pat's success so I don't know. Both matchups will probably be pretty close. Enjoy the games and have a great week everyone.

Week 13's highlights and scores

That's it, it's come to this, the final week of the regular season for our league. Some are securing spots in the playoffs, some are securing their draft order for next year. Any trades or acquisitions for the rest of the year, have to be made this week before the end of Monday night's game ( the last game of week 14). There have not been any transactions made this week. LaDainian Tomlinson was the player of the week with 66 pts. On to the scores and highlights.

Blue Stars 229
Brady's Bunch 140

I believe that's the highest score of the year for the Blue Stars. The rb's Tomlinson ( 66 pts) and Mcgahee ( 46 pts) almost beat the BB's singlehandedly. The BB's playoff push is dealt a final blow.

Cory's team 234
Belugas 169

Cory made a strong move towards the playoffs this week. Tony Gonzalez was his top performer with 38 pts while Hines Ward scored 35 for Bob's Belugas.

Dragonriders 195
Gruesome Goroos 178

The Dragonriders just keep rolling towards the playoffs with T. O. scoring 48 pts for them. The Goroos were led by Dal off with 47 pts.

Gridiron Gal 162
Orange Crush 102

Tony Romo continues to lead this team with a terrific season ( 55 pts) . Steven Jackson led the O. C. with a game Dan expected from him every week ( 44 pts).

Week 14 Schedule

Blue Stars vs Dragonriders
Belugas vs Gridiron Gal
Gruesome Goroos vs Brady's Bunch
Orange Crush vs Cory's team

As you can see by the schedule, Cory has an excellent chance of making the playoffs with my team having an outside shot at best of joining the party. So our probable playoff matchups are Dragonriders vs Cory and Gridiron Gal vs Blue Stars. We'll all have to wait and see. Enjoy the coming weekend everyone.
