Week 9 Results

• Hedfullalicker continued their recent dominance of CSPJ, beating the ‘Smokers for the 6th straight time in a series where CSPJ won the first three matchups. Both teams are now at 5-4, fully in control of their playoff hopes.
• Following a defeat at the hands of the Jedis, Camel Toe has now lost three straight to fall to below .500 for the first time this season. TJM, meanwhile, gets themselves back into the playoff hunt. The Jedis now lead this all-time series 4-1 (with the only loss coming back in week 3)
• Tappa Kegga Day improved to 3-6 with a win over The Hip. These two are pretty equal on the season. 3-6 overall, 1-4 in the division. Those division wins? Against each other. It’s going to be an uphill battle from here as far as the postseason is concerned. TKD now leads the all-time matchup, 9-5.
• Kramerica again has a winning record, thanks to their win over Winning Beer Money, losers of three straight. KI leads this series 8-4, including a season sweep in their division matchups, and a four game run dating back to 2007.
• SaaBB won their third straight game, dropping Turd Ferguson, to improve to 4-5. The win gives SaaBB a season sweep of Turd in the division, and was their fourth in a row over Fergie. Turd hasn’t beaten the ‘Bowling Balls since 2004. Ouch.
• Double D continued their midseason win streak, now at 5 in a row, with a victory over SIAP. The win gives DD a 7-4 career lead over the ‘Pissers.
• Post Mortem remained perfect in division play, and extended their win streak to 8 games, with a win over DDT, losers of three in a row. ‘Mortem has won four in a row over DDT and holds an all-time lead in this matchup, 6-3.

Record Watch

Note: All player scoring records cover the period of 2004 to the present only

• Post Mortem’s 8-game win streak is tied for 7th longest all-time (and 5th longest in a single season). A win in week 10 would tie PM’s longest ever win streak of 9, which happened to in wks 1-9 of last season.
• TKD’s win this week ended their losing streak at 6, tied for the fifth longest losing streak in one season.
• SaaBB is only 26.91 points away from becoming the sixth team in PFFL history to compile 15,000 regular season points.
• Post Mortem’s high point week gives them 20.5 all-time. They are the first franchise to 20, and lead SIAP, who has 19.
• Tappa Kegga Day became the fifth team to win 50 division games.

Eliminated: Duany Duany Tanning
Won Immunity: Post Mortem

SIAP only scored 73.99 points this week, but used the power of immunity to save themselves from elimination. DDT was not quite as lucky, getting eliminated with an 83.8 point output, the first point total above 64 for an eliminated team this season. Post Mortem rode high points for the week to the final immunity necklace of the season and is ensured of a spot in the final four. The Jedi Masters, Double D, The Hip and SIAP will battle it out this week for the other three spots in the immunity-less final four weeks.

Teams left: SIAP, Post Mortem, Double D, The Hip, and The Jedi Masters.

PFFL Approved Music of the Week

The Ting Tings got noticed at SXSW in 2008, then got a bunch of attention due to an Apple commercial. I saw them live at Lollapalooza 2008 and they were really entertaining.

Recap Babe

Jessica Alba — remember her? She’s a full-blown MILF now. Anyway, she’s in some movie called “The Killer Inside Me” which has this leaked trailer floating around. In it, there’s some spanking. Enjoy.

Week 14 Highlights

• DDT prevented Kramerica from winning the East division, ending a three-game losing streak to KI and earning a season split of their divisional series. DDT leads the career matchup, 5-4.
• SIAP earned the split in the season series with TKD, a win which also moved them into the playoffs, ended a three-game losing streak to the Keggers and gives them a one-game lead in the all-time series, 8-7.
• For the second straight year, Camel Toe beat Post Mortem to end the regular season. Of course, this win is only by 0.51 point, and we’ve seen how that can come back to haunt Camel before. CT leads this series, 2-1.
• Hedfullalicker ended The Hip’s postseason hopes by earning a season sweep and cutting into The Hip’s overall series lead, which now stands at 9-7.
• Turd Ferguson erased any possibility of getting locked out of the postseason with a win over Double D. Turd has won 5 of the last 6 meetings with DD and leads all-time, 7-2.
• The Jedi Masters earned high points for the week, but didn’t get the SIAP loss they needed to make the playoffs. Their season sweep earning win over CSPJ does give them a 4-2 all-time matchup lead, however. So, there’s that.
• SaaBB beat Winning Beer Money to earn a season sweep and an 11-3 record on the year. This is their 3rd straight win over WBM and moves SaaBB into a 6-5-1 series advantage.

PFFL Survivor

CSPJ recovered from their pitiful week 13 performance to put up over 100 points this week. It wasn’t enough to catch SaaBB, however, as the Bowling Ballers win Survivor 2008, 187.51 – 155.69.

SaaBB gets $100 for the win, while CSPJ gets $40 for making it this far.

Postseason Qualifiers

1. West Division Champ: Post Mortem — earns the #1 seed based on a head-to-head win over SaaBB

2. Central Division Champ: Sharp as a Bowling Ball

3. East Division Champ: Tappa Kegga Day — wins a three-way tiebreak with DDT and Kramerica due to a 3-1 head-to-head record within this group (DDT was 2-2, KI was 1-3)

Wild Cards:

4. Hedfullalicker — at 9-5, the third best record in the league

5. Turd Ferguson — DDT is the higher ranked team in the East due to a better division record than Kramerica, so this came down to Turd vs DDT. The two did not play each other this season, so the next criteria was total points, which Turd wins by just under 7.

6. Duany Duany Tanning — beating Kramerica based on better division record

7. Kramerica Industries — best remaining record

8. SIAP — at 7-7, the best remaining record

Single Game Record Watch

• For the second time this season, Camel Toe was involved in a game that makes the list of top 10 closest games in PFFL history. Last time, it started out as the closest, then flipped to 4th closest after a stat change gave DD the win. This week, Camel beat Post Mortem by .51 points (pending another change) in the 7th closest game ever.

Milestone Watch

A recap of Milestones reached in 2008:

• DDT scored their 10,000th regular season point in week 13, tying Post Mortem as the fastest teams to that mark
• Post Mortem scored its 15,000th regular season point in week 9, after 163 regular season matchups.
• In week 2, DDT scored their 10,000th point overall (including regular season and playoffs), the fastest team ever to this mark.
• DDT recorded their 5,000th division point in week 1
• DDT achieved their 50th win overall (regular + post- season) in week 3, fastest to this mark.
• Two teams recorded their 100th win overall (regular + post-season). Post Mortem did it in week 9, and SIAP hit this milestone in week 14.
• Post Mortem and SIAP also became the first teams to record 50 division wins, in weeks 11 and 14, respectively.
• CSPJ’s week 14 loss was their 50th overall PFFL loss (regular + post-season), making them the second fastest team to this milestone, behind Kramerica. In comparison, DDT hit this mark in week 5, after 112 games — 25 more than CSPJ took.
• In week 8, DDT suffered its 25th division loss, taking the second longest time to hit the mark.
• TKD’s 95-point victory over DDT in week 12 is only the 5th 90+ point win in PFFL history

Individual Team Record Watch

• Camel Toe’s 3-11 record continues a trend where they lose 2 more games with each new year (7 losses in 2006, 9 in 2007, 11 in ‘08). I’m really not sure what’s going to happen in 2010.
• CSPJ finished below .500 for the third straight year, and has now won 12 games in the last three seasons, combined.
• Double D finished with the worst season record in franchise history, ending a streak of three consecutive postseason-making years.
• DDT has finished 8-6 for the third time in the last three even numbered years.
• Since 2000, Hedfullalicker is 5-for-5 in postseason qualifying in even years, but 0-4 in odd years. This season was the most points scored in Hedfullalicker franchise history, as well as the most points allowed.
• For Kramerica, history shows that scoring more than 1200 points in a season gets them into the playoffs. Anything less? Toilet Bowl time.
• Post Mortem has made the playoffs four straight years, and 8 of the last 9. This club has never finished the season with fewer than 6 wins. This year’s 1340 points is the third highest point total in franchise history, and the division title this season is the third in team history, all in the West.
• SaaBB’s 11-3 record is the best in team history, as is their 1378.92 point total. This is the team’s 3rd division title (2nd in the Central with a West crown thrown in for good measure), and the 2nd seed matches their best ever playoff seeding.
• This is SIAP’s first ever 8-seed in the postseason. The 7-7 record this year is very similar to 2002’s team performance. Points Scored: 1269.57 (2008) – 1258 (2002), Points Against: 1286.14 (2008) – 1295 (2002). The lone difference? In 2002, that record wasn’t good enough to make the playoffs.
• TKD now has a .500 or better record in four straight seasons, and their 3rd East Divison title (plus one in the Central). This is the second time that TKD is seeded 3rd in the playoffs. They reached the championship game and lost last time, in 2005.
• The Hip has not finished with at or above .500 since 2005, and that has continued a playoff drought for one of the most successful franchises in PFFL’s first decade.
• The Jedi Masters miss out on postseason action after advancing in the last four seasons. On the bright side, this season was the 2nd highest scoring in club history.
• Turd Ferguson rebounded from a brutal 2007 to return to the playoffs with an identical-to-2006 seed of 5. This is the 5th winning season in Turd’s 11-year franchise history.
• Winning Beer Money struggled to the worst record in franchise history, including their 2nd lowest point output ever (second only to the 5-8-1 WBM team of 2001).

Season High Points

Congratulations to The Jedi Masters who locked up the highest point total in the league.

1. The Jedi Masters – 1438.61
2. Hedfullalicker – 1397.72
3. SaaBB – 1378.92
4. Post Mortem – 1340.98

Season High Points Against

Thanks to The Hip’s DeAngelo Williams, Hedfullalicker claimed the hard luck title with the most points scored against. Of course, it’s not really hard luck when you make the playoffs as the top wild card.

1. Hedfullalicker – 1357.14
2. The Jedi Masters – 1332.48
3. CSPJ – 1325.68

Recap Babe

Jessica Alba, post-pregnancy, in a photoshoot for Campari, which I had never heard of before. According to Wikipedia, Campari is an alcoholic (alcohol 20.5%, 21%, 25% and even 28% depending on which country it is purchased) aperitif obtained from the infusion of sixty ingredients, combined and macerated in a blend of distilled water and alcohol. Campari is a type of bitters.

Whatever, all I know is that Jessica looks fantastic.

• SaaBB drafts better (and faster) when their wives take them out of town
• TKD traded up to get Ladainian Tomlinson, then did just about everything in his power to get the team prepared to miss the playoffs. (of course, by typing this I’ve all but guaranteed a Stecklein championship)
• Long Wongs repeated their 2006 performance as fantastic draft site, and continues to lack anything remotely like an attractive female customer

Jessica Alba has a decent body…I guess (from The Superficial)

Jessica Alba was busy this week. She sported a number of different bikinis while spending her time on a beach in some sunny location that was likely not Lake Michigan. Personally, I don’t think she has a very good throwing motion, so her chances of making an NFL team are not good. I sure hope she has a backup plan.
