  • CSPJ won their third straight game to improve to 9-5, the second best mark in the league. The victory earned the ’smokers a season sweep of Tappa Kegga Day and an impressive 7-1 division record. Despite the two wins this year for CSPJ, TKD still leads the career matchup, 7-3.
  • Camel Toe closed out the season on a winning note, beating The Hip by 7. The win gives Toe an impressive 6-2 division record, including the sweep of The Hip. Unfortunately, that 0-6 non-division mark kept Camel out of the postseason.
  • Sharp as a Bowling Ball won their third straight game to improve to 8-6 on the year and complete a season sweep of Winning Beer Money. SaaBB now leads that series 8-5-1 all-time.
  • I jokingly mentioned that negative points from Kurt Warner would change the playoff lineup. Well, at half time of the Monday night game, that was holding true. Warner put together enough of a positive stat line in the second half for Kramerica to hold onto the 3.41 point win over Turd Ferguson though. The win earns KI a season split with Turd, but more importantly an 8-6 record and a playoff spot. This series is all tied up at 5 wins each.
  • The Jedi Masters improved to 6-8 with a win over struggling SIAP. SIAP managed only 52.5 points in the losing effort, but still backed into a division title. The Jedis now lead this series, 9-5.
  • Post Mortem rode the legs of Frank Gore, the arm of Matt Schaub and the injury replacement starting role of Quinten Gainther to their 12th win of the season. The victory completes a sweep of Hedfullalicker on the season and improves Post Mortem’s all-time lead over Hed to 14-6. For ‘licker, their fourth consecutive loss to end the season dropped them out of the playoffs.
  • Duany Duany Tanning continued their late season surge, improving from 3-7 to win four straight games and qualify for the postseason. Both teams finished the year with identical 7-7 marks, including 3-3 in division play, and a season split head-to-head. But, while DDT has a 4-game win streak, Double D has now lost 3 in a row. DDT leads this all-time matchup, 5-2.

Postseason Qualifiers

  1. Central Division Champ: Post Mortem – #1 seed with a league-best 12-2 record
  2. East Division Champ: Chain Smoking Patch Junkies – #2 seed with a second-best 9-5 mark
  3. West Division Champ: SIAP – #3 seed with an 8-6 record. SIAP won a three-way tiebreak with Kramerica and SaaBB based on a 3-1 head-to-head record (KI: 2-2, SaaBB: 1-3)
  4. Kramerica Industries – 8-6, winning a tiebreaker over SaaBB based on a season sweep
  5. Sharp as a Bowling Ball – 8-6
  6. Duany Duany Tanning – 7-7, winning a tiebreaker over Double D in the Central based on total points, then winning a tiebreaker over WBM, again based on total points
  7. Double D – 7-7, winning a tiebreaker over WBM based on a head-to-head win
  8. Winning Beer Money – 7-7

Toilet Bowl Seeds

  • Hedfullalicker is the first team in PFFL history to lose 50 division games

Individual Team High(or low)lights

  • Camel Toe did something they haven’t done before. They improved their record over the previous season. Unfortunately, despite scoring the most points in franchise history, they still came up one victory short of the postseason.
  • CSPJ’s 9-5 mark is equal to their franchise best mark set in 2004. This time, however, that record comes with their first ever division championship. Their 1318 points is also a franchise record.
  • Double D continues to have up-then-down-then-up again seasons. Win totals in franchise history, starting in 2003: 9-6-10-8-11-4-7. Interesting? Maybe. Meaningless? Absolutely.
  • DDT is the six seed in the playoffs for the second consecutive year. Their .500 season continued their run of success — only one year (2003) under .500 in franchise history. Their 1326 points is the second highest total in franchise history, behind only the 1424 posted in their inaugural season of 2001.
  • Hedfullalicker finishes the decade with a crazy stat: even years in the 2000’s? Playoffs. Odd years? No Playoffs. Yep, that’s right, Hedfullalicker is 5/10 in playoff qualifying since 2000, all in even numbered years.
  • Kramerica Industries is in the postseason for a third consecutive season. Their 1273 points scored this season is a franchise best.
  • Post Mortem is 23-5 in regular season action over the last two seasons. That’s unprecedented in PFFL history. Mortem’s Central division title is their first division win outside of the West. This is the fifth straight playoff berth for Post, and the 1454 points scored this season is second most in franchise history.
  • SaaBB is in the playoffs for the third straight season, and first ever as the #5 seed. SaaBB’s 1266 points is fourth most in franchise history.
  • SIAP won their third West Division title (to go with one Central division crown in their trophy rack) and is in the playoffs for the third straight season. However, their 1189 points is their lowest season output since 2003.
  • Tappa Kegga Day struggled to the second worst season record in franchise history, behind their 3-11 finish in 2002. The 1200 points scored is actually the fourth most ever scored by a TKD team. However, the 1519 points allowed is by far the most given up.
  • The Hip, who won back-to-back league championships in 2002 and 2003 are now 18-38 over the last four seasons. Ouch.
  • The Jedi Masters finished 6-8 for the second straight season after a run of dominance in the middle of the decade. Their 1232 points scored, while not at all awful, were their lowest output since 2005.
  • Turd Ferguson followed up their 2008 playoff season with a pretty mediocre run of it in 2009. The highlight of their year is probably recording their first high point week since 2006.
  • Winning Beer Money is back in the playoffs after a one year layoff. They are now 19-23 since their championship season in 2006. The 1269 points scored by WBM this year is fourth in team history, while the 1234 points against is 3rd highest in franchise history.

PFFL Survivor

View the Current Survivor Standings

Two Week Finals: The Jedi Masters: 199.96 – Post Mortem: 189.91

The Jedi Masters, despite not making the playoffs, won their second ever Survivor title (oh, and $100). They are now 2-1 in Survivor finals. Post Mortem, on the other hand, has the season high points win, so taking only $40 in Survivor probably isn’t too terrible. Mortem is now 1-2 in Survivor finals.

Season High Points

A late season surge by DDT actually put them in second place in this race, but Post Mortem’s consistency through most of the year allowed them to hang on to a pretty significant lead:

  1. Post Mortem – 1454.08
  2. Duany Duany Tanning – 1326.46 (-127.62)

High Points Against

Tappa Kegga Day simply dominated this one. It looks like the payout will be around $30, but we won’t know until 12/31:

  1. Tappa Kegga Day – 1519.98
  2. The Hip – 1306.45 (-213.53)

PFFL Approved Music of the Week

Pitchfork just released their list of the top 100 songs of 2009. Phoenix comes in at #3 with 1901. I can’t argue that.

Recap Babe

Rihanna just took some pictures for GQ. They’re not as revealing as the ones she took of herself that got leaked online earlier this year, but they’re close.
