The official blog of PFFL
The 2007 portion of the PFFL season started with Jessica Alba’s ass and concluded this week with Kelly Hu. Hope you all enjoyed the babes of PFFL this year, but in case you missed one (or more) of them, here they are in one mega babe-post.
Happy New Year!
There are times when this fantasy football thing is ridiculously frustrating. Sunday was one of those times… Nothing like over-thinking the matchups and starting the Arizona defense (playing the hapless Falcons — money, right?) instead of the Bears (who were facing that juggernaut Packer offense). So, not only am I completely ticked off watching my Packers get dominated by the weather like rookies from Ecuador or something, but my fantasy team is blowing a chance to beat the best team in PFFL and advance to the Super Bowl… @*$(#!!!!
Ok, that’s off my chest now… I’m still hoping to recover in time for the 2008 fantasy season.

Coming next week: Franchise Ratings!!!
Without a single snap of an NFL game taking place, only this much is guaranteed: The PFFL Super Bowl will feature one team from the East and one from the West. Oh, and the 2007 PFFL champion will be a first time trophy holder, and the 9th different team to win the PFFL title.
In hot hot semi-final action this week:
(5) Post Mortem (8-7) at (1) The Jedi Masters (14-1)
(7) Sharp as a Bowling Ball (8-7) at (3) Kramerica Industries (8-7)
Toilet Bowl
In the consolation bracket:
Merry Christmas from Nadia Styles and Ashley Fires (I guarantee those are stripper names)
Something interesting that I didn’t notice until after the round 1 action was complete: Every round 1 matchup featured a former league champion playing a team that has never had their team name engraved on the PFFL trophy. Oddly enough, all four former champions lost. Wild.
On to the week 15 action:
Records
Toilet Bowl
Megan Fox (of Transformers “fame”) congratulates all of the round 1 winners.
In week 14 (and regular season-concluding) action:
Records (End-of-Season edition)
Single Season Records
Season Player Records
Career Records
The final score is actually fairly close at 221.87 – 192.45, but The Jedi Masters season of dominance now includes a victory in Survivor as well. Congratulations to SaaBB for putting up a solid fight despite two game losses during the finals. $100 more to the Jedis, $40 to SaaBB
The finances as of the end of the season are up-to-date. The Jedis are already +$260, including the aforementioned Survivor victory and a Season High Point reward. Turd Ferguson will make a little extra cash as the recipient of the hard-luck most-points-scored-against award. Their prize will be the interest earned in the PFFL bank account as of 12/31/07.

View the 2007 Playoff Brackets
A few games with heavy playoff seed implications came right down to the wire on Monday night. In the end though, here is how the PFFL seeding worked out:
#1: The Jedi Masters – at 13-1, with the most points in the league. Honestly, these guys are the New England Patriots of PFFL.
#2: SIAP – Lost this week to drop to 9-5, but still won the Central by 2 games. One of only 3 teams to finish the season above .500.
#3: Kramerica Industries – There was one way that SaaBB could lose the East division. That one way happened. When Kramerica and DDT both won, and SaaBB lost, a three-way tie was created in the East. The first tiebreaker in a division is head-to-head record. Among these three teams, Kramerica was 3-1, SaaBB was 2-2 and DDT was 1-3. Therefore, Kramerica wins the division and claims the #3 seed.
#4: Double D – At 11-3, they have the second-best record in the league. Unfortunately, Double D was in the same division as The Jedi Masters (who are responsible for two of those three losses). It’s possible that Double D and TJM could meet in the playoff semi-finals.
After the three division champions were crowned and Double D was awarded the top wild card spot, five teams remained with 7-7 records. The “Division Best” rule is used to break ties at this point. What this means is that only one team at a time from each division is considered in any wild card tiebreaking step. Furthermore, the original order of finish within a division is maintained (so the 3rd best team in a division cannot make the playoffs ahead of the 2nd best team).
For “Division Best” purposes, consider the following: Post Mortem ended the season ahead of TKD in the West due to a season sweep. In the East, SaaBB finished ahead of DDT due to a superior division record (5-3 to 4-4). Winning Beer Money is the lone 7-7 team in the Central.
#5: Post Mortem – In the Post Mortem – SaaBB – WBM tiebreaker, the first step was applying the “head-to-head sweep” rule. WBM lost to both SaaBB and Post Mortem, and was therefore eliminated in this step. Post Mortem and SaaBB did not play, so the tiebreaker moved on to total points scored. Post’s terrible week 14 and SaaBB’s late season surge made this one interesting, but in the end, Post maintained a 15 point edge and won the #4 seed.
#6: Tappa Kegga Day – In the TKD – SaaBB – WBM tiebreaker, we again started with the “head-to-head sweep” rule. Yet again, Winning Beer Money lost to both TKD and SaaBB, eliminating them from the tiebreak. And again, SaaBB did not play their West division foe, so it went to total points. This time it wasn’t even close, as TKD used their 126 point advantage to nab the 6th seed.
#7: Sharp as a Bowling Ball – Three 7-7 teams remained at this point, and SaaBB continued to be the lone team from the East in consideration. SaaBB defeated WBM in their head-to-head matchup, and therefore claimed the seventh seed.
#8: Winning Beer Money – Here’s a team that was 3 points away from beating TJM this week and claiming the #5 seed outright. Instead, WBM drops all the way to the final tiebreaker with Double D. Fortunately for WBM, they finally faced a tiebreak team that they defeated this season. They grab the final playoff seed and set up the rematch with The Jedi Masters in week 15.
Toilet Bowl
Let’s not forget that there is also a prize-less consolation bracket. Briefly, the seeds for the Toilet Bowl:
(1) Duany Duany Tanning – The only .500 team not to make the championship round.
(2) Hedfullalicker – The only 6-8 team in PFFL this year
(3) Chain Smoking Patch Junkies – Finished ahead of Camel Toe in the East, beat The Hip head-to-head
(4) The Hip – Beat Camel Toe head-to-head
(5) Camel Toe – 3 more wins than Turd
(6) Turd Ferguson – Worst record in the league
Good luck to everyone in the postseason!
Bree Olsen and Brooke Belle welcome all of you to the postseason.
Remember guys, “I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus” is a song…
The byline for this article goes to Don, who spent a good portion of his Tuesday working out the calculations here. I haven’t really reviewed these in detail, so please consider them as unofficial.
Team-by-Team:
The Jedi Masters (12-1): TJM is locked into the #1 seed. They are playing week 14 for record purposes (best single season record, most points in a season, etc) and to try to win Survivor.
SIAP (9-4): SIAP has the Central division wrapped up and is locked into the #2 seed. Their motivation this week? SIAP has never won 10 games in a single season. Four times they have finished at 9-5, but never better. Of course, 2 of those 4 9-5 finishes led to championships, so maybe it’s part of the formula.
Double D (10-3): Double D is locked into the top wild card spot and corresponding #4 seed. An 11-3 finish would be their best ever regular season, surpassing the 10-4 mark they posted in 2005, when they won the league championship.
Sharp as a Bowling Ball (7-6): The good news? They are in the playoffs for sure. The simple scenario? A win (or a Kramerica loss) and they wrap up the East division and the #3 seed. The complicated stuff? If SaaBB loses and Kramerica wins AND DDT wins, they could end up seeded 6th, 7th or 8th.
Kramerica Industries (6-7): Here’s a team that could win the division, or miss the playoffs altogether. A win plus a SaaBB loss plus a DDT win would give them the division title and the #3 seed. If that doesn’t work out, a win would still lock up a playoff spot and a seed anywhere from 6-8. A loss and they are out of the playoffs.
Post Mortem (7-6): Despite going 2-6 in their last 8 games, Post Mortem is in the playoffs as a wild card. They will be either the 5th seed (with a first round matchup against Double D) or the 6th seed (with a first round game against SaaBB or Kramerica). A win or WBM loss locks up the 5-spot. A loss plus a WBM win leads to the more attractive #6 seed.
Winning Beer Money (7-6): WBM is in the playoffs, that much is certain. Their seed, on the other hand, is completely up in the air. If WBM wins and Post Mortem loses, they will get the 5 seed. A win and a Post Mortem win locks up #6. A loss and they could end up seeded anywhere from 6-8, depending on what happens in the Kramerica and TKD games.
Tappa Kegga Day (6-7): Despite a 1-7 record in the West division, TKD controls its own destiny this week. A win and they are the 6 or 7 seed. A loss, and they need some help, but could still get into the playoffs.
Duany Duany Tanning (6-7): DDT needs to win and get a loss from either TKD or Kramerica to make the playoffs. If they lose, they could still get in if CSPJ, Kramerica and Hedfullalicker all lose.
Hedfullalicker (5-8): Hedfullalicker has an outside shot if they win, plus Kramerica loses to The Hip AND either DDT or TKD loses. Simple, right?
The Hip (5-8): These guys always seem to be alive by the skin of their teeth. The Hip appears to have a shot at the #8 seed. But they need to win, AND have SaaBB beat Hedfullalicker AND SIAP beat DDT.
Chain Smoking Patch Junkies (5-8): These guys appear to be SOL. However, if they win and a bunch of other stuff happens, they might have a chance at a total points tiebreaker. Best advice to the Smokers? Win and score a LOT of points.
Camel Toe (4-9): Will help determine Post Mortem’s seed if WBM wins. Other than that, Camel Toe will either be undefeated against only one PFFL team (Kramerica) after this game or two.
Turd Ferguson (2-11): A loss would give them the 2nd most losses in a single PFFL season. So, there’s that…
Career Record Watch
Here’s how some of the career and full-season records look heading into the week 14:
Finally, in the season high points contest, Double D would need to outscore The Jedi Masters by 135 points this week to prevent the Jedis from claiming that prize too.
Adriana Lima wishes you all playoff-making success, and models some underwear that is way to expensive for you to buy for your ladies…
Thanks again Don!
In week 13 action:
