2011 Playoff Semi-Final Recap/Championship Preview

Posted on January 1, 2012 by Post Mortem

It’s championship week in PFFL for the fifteenth time. Yep, FIFTEEN. And this year’s champ will be a first-timer who has been competing in all fifteen of those seasons. Hedfullalicker and Post Mortem are the only two franchises among the six charter league members still active in PFFL without a title. After this week, there will be only one left with an empty trophy case.

Playoff Semi-Final Highlights

Hedfullalicker beat Kramerica by 20 to reach the championship game for the second straight season. This is the second week in a row where ‘licker defeated a team they had also swept in division play. Kramerica has now lost 7 in a row to Hedfullalicker, dating back to 2005.
In the other semi-final, Post Mortem led throughout, then held on while The Hip had half their team playing on Monday night. In the end, Post prevailed, winning by 32. Post Mortem now leads the postseason series with The Hip, 2-1, and overall 10-5.

Playoff Records and Milestones

Post Mortem broke the 1500 postseason points barrier this week, and sits as the 4th highest scoring postseason team, despite a 7-10 playoff record
Post Mortem is making their second championship game appearance. They are 0-1.
Hedfullalicker is making their third championship game appearance. They are 0-2.
Kramerica is the 13th team in PFFL history to lose 5 postseason games

Toilet Bowl Update

DDT beat SaaBB
Turd Ferguson beat Camel Toe
It’s DDT vs Turd Ferguson for the Toilet Bowl title

PFFL Super Bowl XV Preview

Hedfullalicker vs Post Mortem — two original franchises, three previous championship appearances, zero titles
Post Mortem leads the overall series 14-8
Hedfullalicker beat Post in week 6, 89.23 – 71.84, their second straight win over Mortem
These two have met once before in the playoffs, in 2006. In the first round that year, Hedfull won 85.04 – 72.37
It used to be a guarantee that if you lost your first championship game, you would win the next time you made it to the title game. That changed last year when Hedfullalicker became the first team to record an 0-2 record in the championship round.
Only three teams (Hed, TKD and SIAP) have lost more than one championship game. Only SIAP has lost three. Either Hedfullalicker will join SIAP with 3 losses or Post Mortem will join this club with two.

First up, a few quick housekeeping notes

The MyFantasyLeague site for this year is http://www9.myfantasyleague.com/2011/home/27911 (you should probably bookmark that so you can set your lineups and stuff)
Preseason blind bid waiver requests will be processed TONIGHT (Wed, 9/7) at 10:00 PM (CT). Starting at 10:30, first-come-first-serve waivers will run until noon, Sunday. NOTE: Once the Packers-Saints game kicks off Thursday night, you will not be able to add or drop Packers/Saints players.
The official league rules can be found here: http://www.waymorefunner.com/pffl/leagueinfo/rules.php
Lineups are due 5 minutes before kickoff of each players game. In other words, make your Packer/Saint player decisions by Thursday evening, but feel free to wait to decide on the rest of your lineup until Sunday morning

Now, on to the good stuff…

Yeah, that was a fun draft.

Week 1 Preview

Camel Toe and Turd Ferguson meet for the 7th time. If this one is close, Camel probably wins it. Their two wins over Turd were by a combined 11 points, while each of Turd’s four victories have been by at least 14.
SaaBB is looking for its eighth consecutive win over Winning Beer Money. WBM is looking to beat SaaBB for the first time since 2006.
Post Mortem is 7-3 lifetime against Tappa Kegga Day, including 2-0 on opening weekend. TKD’s last victory over Post? 2003, when we didn’t even have decimal point scoring…
SIAP and CSPJ meet for the first time since 2008, and the 7th time overall, in a series tied at 3 wins a piece. SIAP has won the last two meetings, with CSPJ’s last victory in this series coming in 2005.
DDT and Kramerica played every season from 2003 to 2009. With their series tied at 5 wins each, they took a break last season, but will continue their rivalry this year in the same division.
This is the ninth overall meeting between The Hip and Double D. The Hip won the first 2, DD won the next 2, The Hip took 2 after that, and DD currently has a 2 game win streak. That tells me that The Hip is likely to sweep the season division series this year. Call your bookie.
Hedfullalicker and The Jedi Masters are squaring off for the 15th time, but the first since Hed took the Jedis down in 2008. While the overall series is tied 7-7, The Jedis hold a 5-1 advantage in division games.

PFFL Survivor

Your team is alive, but not immune.

PFFL Record Watch

Winning Beer Money is one victory away from 100 overall wins (including playoffs)
SIAP is one loss away from 100 overall losses (including playoffs)

2010 Week 1-2 Recap

Posted on September 23, 2010 by Post Mortem

No comments

Boy, I have to apologize. All Many Some A couple None of you have been complaining about the lack of blog updates since the start of the PFFL season. So, it’s about time I jump back in to fill the void in your fantasy football lives with PFFL history talk and hot pictures.

Week 1 Highlights

After getting swept in two meetings (one regular season, one postseason) last year, CSPJ beat Double D.
Turd Ferguson now has a 6-3 all-time lead over DDT. DDT has not defeated Turd since 2006.
Hedfullalicker beat The Hip for the fourth straight time to even their career matchup at 9 wins each.
Camel Toe beat The Jedi Masters for the 2nd time in three games. Despite their recent woes, the Jedis still own a 4-2 lead in this series.
Tappa Kegga Day and Kramerica met for the first time since 2008, with TKD doing the same thing they did twice that year: winning. Kramerica hasn’t beaten TKD in the regular season since their first meeting, 2002, week 3.
Post Mortem defeated Winning Beer Money for only the fourth time in 11 tries, and the first time since 2007.
SIAP inched past SaaBB by less than a point, avenging their blowout loss in last year’s championship game.

Week 1 Records/Milestones

Turd Ferguson’s 129.93 points is the 6th most ever in opening week
TKD’s 47.28 point win over Kramerica is the biggest blowout in week 1 since 2007
SIAP’s 0.68 point win over SaaBB is the closest victory ever in week 1 (there was a tie, back in 2003)
Arian Foster’s 44.8 points is the most by a player in week 1 during the PFFL player stats era
The Hip joined Hedfullalicker as the only two teams in PFFL history to have 50 division losses

PFFL Survivor – Week 1

Kramerica’s 44.77 points in week 1 earns them the honor of being the first team booted from the 2010 edition of PFFL Survivor.

Meanwhile, Turd Ferguson grabbed high points for the week and the week 2 immunity that goes with it.

Week 2 Highlights

After suffering a season sweep at the hands of CSPJ last year, The Hip took game 1 of their series in 2010.
Double D defeated Winning Beer Money for the third straight time, and 7th time in 9 meetings.
In week 13 last year, DDT beat Post Mortem by 4.47 points. Post returned the favor this week with a 2.97 point victory, extending their all-time lead in the series to 7-4.
Hedfullalicker last lost to Kramerica in 2005, and wasted no time improving their career mark over KI to 6-2.
SaaBB continues to dominate Camel Toe, improving to 5-0.
The Jedi Masters took home the weekly high points award with a blowout win over Turd Ferguson. A season sweep by TJM in division play later this season would knot this series up at 5 wins each.
In the 18th game in this storied rivalry, Tappa Kegga Day notched a 10-point victory over SIAP. The all-time matchup is all even, with each team holding 9 wins.

Week 2 Records/Milestones

The Jedi Masters became only the fifth team in PFFL history to win 100 overall games (regular and post- season). It took them 184 games to reach the milestone, tied with Tappa Kegga Day for third fastest.
SaaBB won their 50th division game all-time, and is the sixth team to achieve this milestone
CSPJ recorded their 25th division loss, and is now tied with Double D as the sixth fastest teams to the mark (taking 52 games to lose 25)
They didn’t need the points to win this week, but Hedfullalicker had to be squirming when they saw Jahvid Best rack up 44.2 points, while sitting on their bench. In the PFFL player stat era, this is second only to DDT’s benching of the Seahawk defense’s 46-point performance in week 13 of the 2005 season.

PFFL Survivor – Week 2

Turd Ferguson’s immunity was almost required this week, as they scored the second fewest points among the remaining teams. As it turned out, however, Camel Toe’s 68.74 points earned them the boot.

Meanwhile, The Jedi Masters secured their 13th all-time high scoring week and hold immunity for week 3.

Looking Ahead to Week 3

SIAP will try once again to become only the second team in PFFL history to win 100 regular season games
Winning Beer Money will close in further on 15,000 career regular season points. In fact, a 155 point performance would get them there in spectacular fashion.
Turd Ferguson doesn’t want to hit this milestone, but a loss this week to Winning Beer Money would give Turd 50 division losses.
The Jedi Masters will try to end a 2-game losing streak against CSPJ
The Hip looks to extend their 2-game win streak over Double D
The 14th all-time meeting between DDT and Tappa Kegga Day will be the earliest they’ve ever met in a season
Hedfullalicker will try to beat SIAP for the first time since 2001
Someone is going to take the lead in the series between Camel Toe and Post Mortem, currently stuck at two wins a piece.
Kramerica and SaaBB meet for the 13th time in a series that SaaBB leads 7-5
Winning Beer Money looks for their first win of the season against Turd Ferguson, a foe they have dominated to the tune of a 12-2 all-time advantage

2009 Championship Preview [Olivia Munn]

I was originally going to schedule this to come out sometime on New Years Day. Then I realized you were all a bunch of drunks and would be too hungover to read it. And those of you who aren’t, are like, dads and stuff, so you might enjoy some of these links tonight when your wife and kids are asleep at 9:00. I guarantee the pictures they lead to are better looking than Ryan Seacrest and Carson Daly.

SIAP vs SaaBB – SIAP is appearing in a record 5th championship game, and is back in the finale for the second straight year. SaaBB is making only their second ever title game appearance. No team in PFFL history has ever lost their first two championship games (i.e., every team that loses in the title game and makes it back wins that second time around).

SIAP will become either the first team in league history to win three championships, or the first team to lose three championships.

View the Week 17 Game Center

Championship Matchup

(3) SIAP vs (5) SaaBB > Last year’s championship was a rematch of the 1998 title game. This week’s championship game is a rematch of the 2000 PFFL title game. So, we are pretty much ending the decade just like we started it. SIAP beat SaaBB in that game 9 seasons ago, 134-94. SaaBB owns a playoff win over SIAP, that coming in the first round of the postseason in 2007. Overall, SaaBB owns a slim 8-7 advantage over the Pissers. As division mates this season, they split their season series. SIAP beat SaaBB by 21 in week 2, and SaaBB returned the favor with a 48-point butt kicking in week 12. SIAP is trying to remain perfect in postseason play when they are the division champs from the West division. Their two championships came in 2000 and 2004, when they were also West Division titlists. SIAP has also never lost a playoff game as the #3 seed. For SaaBB, this is their first #5 seed, so that streak of perfection is also on the line.

PFFL Championship History

A little recap of the PFFL championship games of years gone by:

1997	Super Bowl I	The Dark Side def. Tappa Kegga Day 101-50	TKD loses by 51 in the innagural PFFL title game
1998	Super Bowl II	Tappa Kegga Day def. Skens Irish Alley Pissers 109-78	TKD returns to the championship and gets it this time, over SIAP
1999	Super Bowl III	The Fighting Lamas def. Cuttysark, 102-80	In its first season, TFL beats CS by 22

2002	Super Bowl VI	The Hip def. Duany Duany Tanning, 110-66	TH dominates DDT to win the title for the first time
2003	Super Bowl VII	The Hip def. Double D, 85-71	TH wins a repeat championship over freshman team DD in a low-scoring matchup.
2004	Super Bowl VIII	SIAP def. The Jedi Masters, 96-86.8	SIAP returned to the championship for the first time in four years, and promptly won their 2nd PFFL title, matching The Hip as the only two-time champs.
2005	Super Bowl IX	Double D def. Tappa Kegga Day, 66.68-64.75	In their second championship appearance, Double D claims the crown in the lowest scoring Super Bowl in PFFL history. TKD falls to 1-2 in championship games.
2006	Super Bowl X	Winning Beer Money def. Hedfullalicker, 101.04 – 99.89	This was both the highest scoring and closest championship game in PFFL history. Both teams were appearing in the first Super Bowl.
2007	Super Bowl XI	The Jedi Masters def. Kramerica Industries, 93.11 – 74.77	The most successful season in PFFL history ends appropriately for The Jedi Masters, as they claim their first league title to conclude a 13-1 season.
2008	Super Bowl XII	Tappa Kegga Day def. SIAP, 79.09 – 78.17	In the closest championship game in PFFL history, TKD became the third franchise to win 2 PFFL championships.

Toilet Bowl Championship Matchup

Camel Toe and Tappa Kegga Day are each making their first Toilet Bowl championship appearances. For TKD, it could mean back-to-back postseason titles, albeit with this one winning him WAY less money than last year.

View the Week 15 Game Center

View the Week 16 Game Center

I’m pulling this together while also packing for holiday travel. If things seem briefer than normal, that’s why. If it seems like every writeup, well, ummm, then I guess I was just more efficient this week. Yep, that’s it. This was an interesting week as all of the games went the same way as the 2009 regular season meetings went. The top 2 seeds fell, meaning the 2009 PFFL champion will be a 7- or 8- regular season win team. Neat.

Week 15 Results

(8) Winning Beer Money ended (1) Post Mortem’s season the same way it began, by beating them soundly. WBM now holds a 7-3 all-time lead over Post Mortem. For Post Mortem, despite scoring the third highest points of the 8 playoff teams this week, it’s a second straight successful regular season followed by a first round playoff exit.
(7) Double D beat (2) CSPJ by almost 30, similar to the 39 point beating they put on the smokers back in week 5. DD leads this series 5-2.
(3) SIAP was the only division winner to score a victory this week, beating the previously red-hot (6) DDT by 16. It’s SIAP’s second win over DDT this season, but DDT still holds a 7-5 series lead. SIAP has a 2-0 playoff record against DDT.
(4) Kramerica Industries snuck by (5) Sharp as a Bowling Ball by less than a point. This was Kramerica’s third win over SaaBB this season, tying their all-time series at 6 wins each. KI is 2-1 against SaaBB in the postseason.

Playoff Records

Kramerica’s 0.74 point win is the second closest playoff game in league history. Only SaaBB’s 0.68 point win over SIAP in 2007 was more tightly contested.
Post Mortem’s 99.32 points scored this week is the 9th highest point total in a playoff round losing effort.
Post Mortem and Sharp as a Bowling Ball are the first PFFL teams to achieve the 10 postseason loss milestone. It’s going to be at least two years before anyone else is hitting this mark.
SIAP extended their league-leading postseason win record to 13.

Playoff Semi-Final Matchups

(3) SIAP vs (7) Double D – This is the first ever playoff meeting between these two teams, but it is the 12th meeting overall. Double D leads the series, 7-4 and beat SIAP in week 9, 102.92 – 73.99.
(4) Kramerica Industries vs (8) Winning Beer Money – This is also the first ever playoff meeting between these two clubs, and the 13th meeting overall. Kramerica leads the all-time matchup, 8-4, and beat WBM in week 9, 89.94 – 84.75.

Toilet Bowl

Tappa Kegga Day knocked out The Jedi Masters while Camel Toe earned their first-ever post-week-14 game, beating The Hip.
TKD now faces Turd Ferguson while Camel Toe takes on Hedfullalicker

View the Week 2 GameCenter

Hey look, the NFL games have started. I suppose I should’ve written a preview by now, huh?

Matchups

CSPJ looks for their first win of the year against The Jedi Masters. TJM leads the series, 4-2, including sweeping their season series last year.
Camel Toe tries for win #2 as they take on Double D. These two teams played in the same division in 2007, the only times they’ve played. They each won a game.
In a battle of early undefeated teams, TKD takes on Hedfullalicker. TKD has dominated this series, 10-4, but has lost 2 of the last three matchups including a week 2 matchups against Hed last season.
The Hip and Turd Ferguson are both looking for their first win in their 14th career matchup. Turd leads the series, 8-5, but has lost 2 of the last three to The Hip, including a week 13 loss in 2008.
Winning Beer Money and Kramerica are both 1-0 heading into their matchup this week. Kramerica has dominated this matchup of late, winning 6 of the last 7 over WBM, good for a 6-4 all-time matchup lead.
Post Mortem and Double D both suffered tough losses in week 1. Double D has owned Mortem, winning 8 of their 10 meetings, but feel to PM in the first round of the playoffs last season.
0-1 SaaBB meets up with 1-0 SIAP in the first of their two division games this year. SaaBB knocked SIAP out of the playoffs in round 1 last year, and holds a 7-6 career advantage over SIAP.

PFFL-Approved Tunes

New to some of the writeups this year? Music. Some of you know that my tastes tend a little more to the indie/alternative world, so expect to see some bands/songs show up that you may not have ever heard of. But, I’m gonna start slow. This week’s song is “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas. I personally go hot and cold on them, but I like this song. Annnnnnnnnd, it was the song they chose to air in Lambeau at the end of the win over Chicago last Sunday night. I would be happy hearing this immediately following the other 5 home games in the “Green” package this season (oh, and a couple playoff games too).

View the Week One GameCenter

Week 1 Matchups

CSPJ vs Camel Toe > The season kicks off with a battle between the only two zero-star rated franchises in the league. CSPJ leads this matchup 3-1, including wins in the last three meetings. CSPJ and Camel Toe have only played each other when they are in the same division, which they are again after taking a break last season.
Tappa Kegga Day vs Double D > These two teams square off in the season opener for the second straight season. TKD won that game last year en route to a season sweep of DD in divisional play and an eventual PFFL championship. However, Double D still leads the career matchup 7-3.
The Hip vs The Jedi Masters > Amazingly, this is the first season that finds The Hip and The Jedis in the same division, although they have played each other in all but two (2001 and 2005) of their seasons in the league. The Hip leads the overall series 5-4, but the Jedis have won the last three, including a 99.08 – 85.61 win in week 4 last year.
Winning Beer Money vs Post Mortem > This is only the 9th meeting between these two clubs (and only the third since 2004), another pair who have never resided in the same division (and don’t this year). WBM leads the series 5-3, but has lost the last two (in 2005 and 2007) by a combined score of 76 points.
Turd Ferguson vs SIAP > A rematch of last year’s semi-final matchup that saw SIAP win by 25 to earn a PFFL Super Bowl berth, this game kicks off the seventh divisional season series for these two clubs. SIAP holds an overall matchup lead 10-6, including wins in the last three meetings.
Hedfullalicker vs DDT > Hed and DDT were division mates for three straight seasons earlier this decade (2002-2004), but have been enjoying only single-game non-division matchups the last four years. Back in the same division, this game kicks off the season series. The all-time matchup is tied at 5 wins each, and the all-time division game matchup is tied at 3 wins each. Hedfullalicker beat DDT in week 11 last year by the score of 101.11 – 91.29, but hasn’t won consecutive games over DDT since 2002-2003.
Kramerica vs SaaBB > Kramerica kicked off their 2008 season with a low-scoring win over SaaBB, but SaaBB gained revenge in the first round of the playoffs, eliminating Kramerica with an 8-point win. SaaBB leads the career matchup 6-3.

Record Watch

Two teams are within striking distance of joining Post Mortem in the 15,000 regular season points club:

The Hip – 14911.16
Hedfullalicker – 14861.29

Two teams enter 2009 with 4-game win streaks in regular season action:

Hedfullalicker
Sharp as a Bowling Ball

PFFL Survivor

It’s week 1. No one has immunity. Lowest score will be eliminated. Highest score will be safe in week 2.

2008 PFFL Championship Preview [Christmas Babes]

Posted on December 23, 2008 by Post Mortem

No comments

SIAP vs TKD – both teams have made it to the Championship game four times. SIAP has two titles, TKD has one. And, they have one previous meeting in the title game. SIAP has never won the title as a wild card, but HAS won in each of the last two election years, while TKD has lost in its previous two trips as the East Division champion. Who will add their name to the PFFL trophy in 2008?

As we reach the conclusion of another year, let me take this opportunity to wish you all a happy and safe holiday week. I hope you all get to spend it with your families and friends.

Merry Christmas!

Championship Matchup

(3) Tappa Kegga Day vs (8) SIAP > This week’s championship game is a rematch of the PFFL title game from 10 seasons ago. TKD won the 1998 championship over SIAP, 109-78. It is the only other time these two original franchises have met in the postseason. In the overall series, this will be the 16th meeting in a matchup that SIAP leads, 8-7. As division rivals in the East this season, these two teams split their two games. TKD won in week 4, while SIAP won in the regular season finale. This is the fourth championship game appearance for both teams. SIAP won the title in 2000 (as the West champ and 3-seed) and 2004 (as the West champ and 2-seed), but lost in the aforementioned matchup with TKD in 1998. TKD won their only title in 1998 as the 8-seed, and lost in the championship game in their other two East Division winning seasons (1997 and 2005, as the 1 and 3 seed, respectively).

2008 Playoff Week 2 Preview [Marisa Miller 2009 Calendar]

Posted on December 17, 2008 by Post Mortem

No comments

Quick reminder: There is home field advantage again this week, so both Turd Ferguson and SaaBB will be getting a 2-point boost to start things off. There is no home-field in the championship.

Playoff Semifinal Matchups

One game this week is a rematch of a game played just three weeks ago, while the other is the first meeting of the year. Week 15 saw 2 of 4 lower seeds advance. Will we see any upsets this week? To decide the matchup for the 2008 PFFL Championship game:

(8) SIAP vs (5) Turd Ferguson – This is the first meeting of the year for these two clubs who made the playoffs as wild cards and scored upset victories in round 1. Despite not playing in ’08, these two are familar foes, as this will be their 16th meeting in PFFL history. SIAP leads that series, 9-6, and swept Turd last year when they were division rivals. This is their first ever meeting in the postseason. SIAP is 3-2 in semi-final games, while Turd Ferguson is 1-2 and has not advanced to a championship game since 1999.
(3) Tappa Kegga Day vs (2) SaaBB – Back in week 13, SaaBB beat TKD by 20 to lock up the #2 seed in the playoffs and the 2-point head start that could come in handy this week. While this is the 16th all-time meeting of these two clubs, it is only their second faceoff in the postseason. In PFFL’s innagural season of 1997, TKD beat SaaBB, 89-74 in the semi-finals. TKD is an impressive 3-1 in the semifinal playoff round, while SaaBB struggles in this round, going 1-6 in their opportunities to make it to the big game.

Toilet Bowl Matchups

(3) Winning Beer Money vs (2) The Hip – The Hip is an impressive 5-1 in Toilet Bowl action, while WBM picked up their first consolation round 1 (in 2 tries) last week.
(5) Double D vs (1) The Jedi Masters – Double D is now 1-0 in the toilet bowl, while this is the first ever toilet game for TJM.

Semifinal Preview Babe

Marissa Miller has made a few appearances in the PFFL Blog this year, so it seemed appropriate to provide some pictures from her 2009 calendar as we near the end of the PFFL year. Joel is probably already printing this out…

2008 Playoff Week 1 Preview [Abigail Clancy]

First off, some reminders on waiver rules:

Only teams alive in the championship round of the playoffs are allowed to make waiver moves
Players can only be added in the case of a newly injured player. In other words, the injured player must have been active or listed as no worse than probable in the previous week.
The added player must be the same position as the injured player
The injured player does NOT have to be dropped — any player can be dropped to make room for the injury replacement

And a quick reminder about the playoffs – there is home field advantage in play in the first two rounds. So the better seed gets a 2-point head start.

Playoff Quarterfinal Matchups

All of the first round matchups in this year’s postseason are rematches of contests held earlier this year. In two of the four games, the teams involved are from the same division and split their season series. On top of all that, 3 of the four matchups this week are between teams who have met in the playoffs before. On to the history…

(8) SIAP vs (1) Post Mortem: Post Mortem beat SIAP in week 12, 81.41 – 75.36, in a low-scoring affair. That win evened the overall series tally at 7-7, but SIAP has a 1-0 advantage in postseason play, with a 116-80 win over Post in the 2000 semi-finals. SIAP has not won a playoff game since their 2004 championship run (granted, they only have one playoff game since then), but are 5-2 in first round playoff games. Post Mortem is 4-4 in the first round of the playoffs, and has advanced to round 2 in 2 of the last 3 seasons. Side note: PM has three West division titles and has now been seeded in all three of the available division winner spots, #2 in 1997, #3 in 2001 and now #1.
(7) Kramerica Industries vs (2) Sharp as a Bowling Ball: Kramerica beat SaaBB waaaaaaaaay back in week 1, 66.31 – 49.79. That was KI’s third straight win over SaaBB, including a 90.12 – 52.21 win in the playoff semi-finals last year. Before the current Kramerica streak, SaaBB had dominated this series, winning the first five meetings. Kramerica is 1-1 in the first round of the playoffs, and is coming off of a 2007 season that saw them make a run all the way to the title game. In 8 playoff appearances, SaaBB has lost in the first round only one time, back in 1998. The second round is their nemesis, as they are 1-6 in the semis.
(6) Duany Duany Tanning vs (3) Tappa Kegga Day: These two East division rivals split their season series. DDT won in week 6, while TKD returned the favor in week 12. DDT holds an overall 7-5 series advantage, which includes a 12-point win in the first round of the 2006 playoffs. DDT is 3-for-5 in the first round, but is actually 2-0 as a wild card. Tappa Kegga Day, meanwhile, has not won a playoff game since advancing to the 2005 title game. Losses in the first round in 2006 and 2007 ended TKD’s perfect 4-0 first round record prior to that time.
(5) Turd Ferguson vs (4) Hedfullalicker: Both teams hail from the West division. Hedfullalicker won the first meeting of their division series, in week 1, with Turd getting the victory in week 10 to earn the season split. Hed leads the overall series 7-6. This is their first ever postseason meeting. Turd Ferguson is an even .500 in the first round, going 3-3, but without a playoff win since 2005. Hedfullalicker has been one of the hardest luck postseason teams in PFFL history. From 1997-2004, Hed reached the playoffs six times, but never made it out of the first round. That streak finally came to an end in 2006 when Hedfull not only won in round 1, but advanced all the way to the championship game.

Toilet Bowl Matchups

The Jedi Masters and The Hip get byes into the semi-final round of the Toilet Bowl, but the bottom 4 teams in the league square off this week. Among the six teams in the Toilet Bowl competition, only one has ever won a Toilet game — The Hip, who bring an impressive 5-1 Toilet record to the table.

(6) Camel Toe vs (3) Winning Beer Money: Camel Toe is 0-2 in the Toilet round, but both losses came against The Hip (who would be their 2nd round opponent). Winning Beer Money has only one Toilet Bowl game under their belt, a loss to SIAP in 2005.
(5) Double D vs (4) CSPJ: Double D is making their first ever appearance in the Toilet Bowl, while CSPJ is here for the third straight season, but has never made it to the 2nd toilet round.

Playoff Preview Babe

Abigail Clancy is another of the hot models to come out of the UK, so she’s probably more into fantasy soccer than football, but I’m willing to let that slide.
