NEW WEB SITE
With some occasional server problems the past couple years, and a web hosting company smack dab in the middle of hurricane alley in Florida, I'm in the process of moving the FFL Web Site to a new host and with it a brand new web address. Update your bookmarks and check it out:
www.fflgoo.com
NOTE: All owners should visit the site and register. See the "Login Form" in the box on the left column of the home page, follow the "Register" link, and you're all set for the new season.
This old site will stay online until I get all the content from here moved over and archived at the new location.
2007 Draft Lottery Order
The 2007 draft lottery was held the weekend of July 14 at defending champion Nick Fisher's house. Several FFL owners were present to witness one of the few documented failures of the famed Lieberman luck. Richburgh, with the most chances, finished with the 4th pick. The Orange County Beach Dudes are the happy owners of the first pick overall.
The first seven picks will go in this order:
- OCD Beach Dudes
- FFL Froglickers
- NCT Thorobreds
- RIB Raptors
- BOS Wildcats
- MIM Mud
- SYR Blizzard
REMINDER: The draft is scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time on Saturday, September 1st.
Griffins edge Big Bang
70-68 in Fantasy Bowl
The Philadelphia Griffins, who lost the 2003 Fantasy Bowl to Oregon by 2 points, turned the tables this year and won Fantasy Bowl XV and the league championship with a 70-68 win over the Big Oregon Bang. The story for the Griffins was RB Ron Dayne, who posted a career game and 26 points. The story for the Big Bang was missed opportunities -- Mark Clayton (11 points), Philip Rivers (8) and Laurence Maroney (6) all were on the bench, and any single one of them in the starting lineup would have given Oregon the slight edge.
The Dallas Armadillos easily defeated Keystone 90-52 to capture third place. Dallas' 90 points was the high score of the week, and vaults the Armadillos into second place overall in points going into the final weekend.
The Happy Valley Violence beat MassIll 56-18 to win the consolation bracket. And in the Cellar Dweller finals, Richburgh defeated Orange County 53-47, leaving the Beach Dudes as the 2006 Ultimate Cellar Dweller.
Griffins - Armadillos Finish 1-2 in Points Race
The Philadelphia Griffins swept up both league trophies in 2006, winning the points race with 1060 points. It's the 4th time in league history the same team has swept both top awards (Thorobreds in 2005, Wildcats in 1997, and Cheeseheads in 1994). It's the Griffin's record 6th point championship -- twice as many as Boston (with 3), while no other FFL team has more than one points championship.
Dallas finished second in points with 951, a dramatic turnaround from 2005 when the Armadillos finished dead last in points (601). Keystone with 921 and Oregon with 916 finished a close 3rd and 4th. Mercer finished with 887 points, dropping from 2nd to 5th place over the past two weeks, but will take the consolation points award. The Froglickers, with 651, finish last in points.
And RB Tiki Barber saved his best for last -- his 41 points in week 17 was the high individual performance in the league this year.
