Week 12 brought one of my favourite events of the fantasy year. It also saw a continued slide for at least 2 teams, even more confusion about the middle, a return to form for others, and a glimpse of hope for some.
Let's get to the summary:
Average score jumped to 100.4 points from last week's 83.3, while the average margin expanded slightly to 22.1 points. 6 Teams made it into triple digits and just one team below 70 (more on this special case to follow).
Performer of The Week:
With 6 teams in triple digits, there were lots of performances to choose from. Taking the glory this week is Eric/Pat/Sunny. That's right, EPS put up 129.7. With 30 coming from one senor Victor Cruz. Honourable mentions to Jeff (127.4 in a loss - more on this shortly), Gregor (125.5), Ashby (Ugh - 125), Hauser (113.3 in a loss), and Harris (111.4). It certainly is nice to be done with the bye weeks.
Senorita Of The Week:
For the third week in a row, Mike D. has wowed us all with his team's awful-ness. This week was a little better than last with 45.1 points, but still bad. Of course, his Defence was slapped with the -10 for letting New Orleans put up 49. I truly love this penalty and await its once a year arrival like a child on Christmas. Schadenfreude perhaps, but I like it.
The "Close-But-No-Cigar" Match (es) of The Week:
This one goes out to the Eric/Pat/Sunny win over Jeff Alls. Monday Night Football proved to be a most dramatic finish as Jeff was trailing by about 30 points and the ESPN computer was projecting a finishing score within a point of each other. Brees put up 50.4 and his kicker 7, but Senor Victor Cruz put up 30 to eek out the win by 2.3 points. Very emotional.
8-3-1 Club:
Devo remains the sole squatter in the leaders lounge. Fortunately, the crowd that was outside the lounge has been dispersed a little by pepper spray (a food product!). But lurking in the area still are Ashby (7-4-1) and Gregor (7-5), plus a gang of shady looking youths down the street at 6-6.
The Jason Madge Memorial "Why Didn't I Start THAT Guy" Fantasy Player of The Week:
Hillis over Gore could have helped Alls - The only roster change that could have change the tables.

Week 11 Summary - Falling From Grace / Signs of Life / Surrender / Incompetence
Week 11 brought with it the surrender that comes from a decision to rebuild, the acceptance of falling into one's old ways, the delusion of believing that some may still have a shot, the joy of staying on top, and the clarity of witnessing true incompetence.
Let's get to the summary:
Average score fell again this week to 83.3 from last week's 86.7 points from last week's 93, while the average margin expanded to 20.9 points. There wasn't a lot to brag about in the scoring department as the bye weeks wrapped up and full rosters will return this week.
Performer of The Week:
Just one team made it into triple digits this week - Jamie Harris and his team's 105.5 points. Let's not get too full of ourselves now, James. Statistical anomalies do occur from time to time.
Senorita Of The Week:
For the second week in a row, Mike D. has wowed us all with his team's awful-ness. 36.1 points is bad. Real bad. And I find it most depressing that Hauser was his opponent and some how rewarded with a win despite trying to cancel a trade offer of his own making. Really?!?!?
The "Close-But-No-Cigar" Match (es) of The Week:
Just one close on this week as Devo clipped Lance by 4.5 points and trashed talked him on the boards all the while (and managed to disparage our Performer of The Week as well):
Devin Devin (Nov 21 12:38 PM): You might have to fellate Stafford if you manage to pull out the win tonight. I'm sure Harris can show you how he and Brady do it...
7-3-1 Club:
Devo has once again been left alone in the leaders lounge. It keeps its terrible name, but the mob outside has grown in size and ugliness:
Ashby at 6-4-1 with Alls, Hauser, Mike D, Madge, and Gregor at 6-5.
The Jason Madge Memorial "Why Didn't I Start THAT Guy" Fantasy Player of The Week:
Your beloved Commissioner could have used Cutler's 32.8. It totally would have been worth the broken thumb. Ugh.

Still tight. Far too close too call with the playoffs looming. I'd say nobody is out of it, but with Kevin's eye towards rebuilding through trade, I'd have to say he's thrown in the towel.
Happy waiver wire auctioning. US Thanksgiving this week, so 3 games on Thursday. Gobble, gobble.

Week 10 Summary - Our First Tie / Close Ones / Blowout
Read it online here:
http://cebfl.blogspot.com/
or for those that are too lazy to click:
Week 10 brought with it some actively watched scoreboards as matches were close and the tie fairy visited us and blessed Devo and Tim in an unholy union. The old Mike D decided to come back from the dead, Eric/Pat/Sunny showed some life and your beloved commissioner is back on the emotional downslope. Let's get to the summary:
Average score fell some this week to 86.7 points from last week's 93, while the average margin narrowed to just 10.6 points as 4 matches had scores separated by less than 10 points and a fifth match was decided by 12.3 points.
Performer of The Week:
Just two teams were able to make it into triple digits with Eric/Pat/Sunny taking the top spot at 103.9, earning a much needed win and bitch-slapping Mike D. by 37.8 points and reminding him of seasons past. Honourable mention to Jeff Alls and his 101 points.
Senorita Of The Week:
This week's battle for the SOTW was especially close with many contenders, but the title and its requisite shame is bestowed upon Mike D. and his 66.1 points. Dis-honourable mention to Lance and his 66.3 points.
The "Close-But-No-Cigar" Match (es) of The Week:
As mentioned briefly above, 4 matches were decided by less than 10 points this week. Alls took down Fusco by 9, Madge clipped Lance by 4.3, Gregor squeezed Hauser by 0.3, and Timbo and Devo managed to finish in our league's first tie. This unholy union will bring no joy to our league and require use of another column in the standings chart and really messes up the name of our leaders lounge. It just means more work for our tech department in Mumbai. I hope you are happy, but know that neither of you could be happy with that outcome.
6-3-1 Club:
Devo has once again been left alone in the leaders lounge. It now has a terrible name and a 3 man line-up outside the door waiting to get in. I've also heard that they are watering down the drinks and rarely oiling the leather. For shame.
The Jason Madge Memorial "Why Didn't I Start THAT Guy" Fantasy Player of The Week:
This is a good one this week as Hauser could have swapped almost any position with a bench player and won his match. Sweet irony - or perhaps some other literary device. But, seriously, I can't believe you didn't play the Bears D and their 28 points. A defence, I might add, that your beloved commissioner was forced to drop due to bye week roster management challenges. (Also see Best and Gronkowski for great commissioner roster management examples).

Week 9 Summary - Closest One Ever / Streaks / Birthday Curses / From The Depths
Week 9 brought some joy back into the life of your beloved commissioner for his own success, the unexpected success of another and the misery of 1 or 2 others. Week 9 was not the happiest of birthdays for 2 of your fellow owner/managers, and it brought the closest finish in league history. Let's get to the summary:
Average continued its rise this week to 93 from last week's 89.1 points while the average margin of widened to 26.6 points.
Performer of The Week:
For the second week in a row, Madge put up the biggest number at 128.7. Let's just call it what it is: A DEAD CAT BOUNCE. Don't get too comfortable, thy fall right soon cometh. Honourable mentions to Hauser (118), Kevin (111.9 in a loss to Madge), and even Eric/Pat/Sunny for making it into triple digits with 106.
Senorita Of The Week:
Gregor Davidson, step on up. Well, not that far up as you should be most ashamed of your 52.1 points. That is Mike D. bad. Also bad, the fact that you lost to me, your beloved Commissioner. Dis-honourable mentions to the two birthday boys - Lance and his 62.4 and Harris and his 70.8. Happy birthday fellas. Let's just be glad this only comes around once a year.
The "Close-But-No-Cigar" Match (es) of The Week:
Welcome to the closest match we've ever had:
Mike D. 101 Points
Tim Ashby 100.9 Points
Ouch. I believe that is 0.1 points. I also believe that is Mike's 4th win in a row and Tim's 3 loss in a row - a losing streak that started almost immediately after posting a claim that he was "unbeatable" - check the league page, it is still on there and will remain so for many, many weeks.
6-3 Club:
Devo must be starting to sweat, as no longer is his grasp on the lead just his, but his companion in the leaders lounge is the one and only Mike D.
Is it all a dream? Has Mike D. ever been in the lounge? How will he behave? What happens if it is his and his alone after next week???
The Jason Madge Memorial "Why Didn't I Start THAT Guy" Fantasy Player of The Week:
Tim Ashby: Why for you no start Marshawn Lynch and his 19 points? Oh right, because you're doomed....forever!

Week 8 Summary - Streaks / Emotional Roller Coaster / Rehab
Week 8 brought with it a ticket to the emotional roller coaster for some, convergence about the middle, an the beginning of a bad streak for at least one, the continuation of a bad streak for another, and a big bid on a big bust. My tears of joy have been replaced with those of sadness and the blood-alcohol level is back up, but I shall soldier on and once again get through the summary:
Average score bounced some to 89.1 from last week's season-low 80.7 points while the average margin of victory grew a touch to 16 points.
Performer of The Week:
Showing the same signs of life as Terri Schiavo (too soon???), Madge was able to post 106.8 and take what will be his only title for a long, long time. Madge also bid a big $50 for the highly fragile and highly damaged Jahvid Best. Mark my words, this is you hitting rock bottom. I only hope you take advantage of the our league's owners helping owners recovery program by moving into Ashby's basement to dry out. Honourable mention to Gregor and his 104.1 - the only other score in the triple digits.
Senorita Of The Week:
This week's SOTW and all of its related shame falls onto your beloved commissioner and his 62.2 points. From POTW to SOTW is what hurts the most. Damn you bye weeks, damn you all to heck. Notice the use of non-offensive language as last week's calling attention to the Lord's work may have jinxed my fantasy prospects.
The "Close-But-No-Cigar" Match (es) of The Week:
Kevin clipped Alls by 7.8 and Gregor handed Ashby his second loss in a row by 8.9 points. Has anyone else noticed the marketing thievery that has befallen your beloved commissioner??? That's right, GMC has thrown their mighty marketing budget at ESPN and stolen my original idea for the close match of the week. This is not the first time this has happened - The Harv, Velcro, New Coke, and the personal computer should all be credited to me in some form.
6-2 Club:
Still safely and alone in the lounge is Devo. But a hungry pack gathers outside the door 4 deep. Beware the streaking Mike D. (3 wins in a row - has this ever happened???) and Lance (2 wins in a row). Have no fear of Harris (3 game losing streak), or Eric/Pat/Sunny (probably Madge's room mate in the recovery centre).

Average score bounced some to 89.1 from last week's season-low 80.7 points while the average margin of victory grew a touch to 16 points.
Performer of The Week:
Showing the same signs of life as Terri Schiavo (too soon???), Madge was able to post 106.8 and take what will be his only title for a long, long time. Madge also bid a big $50 for the highly fragile and highly damaged Jahvid Best. Mark my words, this is you hitting rock bottom. I only hope you take advantage of the our league's owners helping owners recovery program by moving into Ashby's basement to dry out. Honourable mention to Gregor and his 104.1 - the only other score in the triple digits.
Senorita Of The Week:
This week's SOTW and all of its related shame falls onto your beloved commissioner and his 62.2 points. From POTW to SOTW is what hurts the most. Damn you bye weeks, damn you all to heck. Notice the use of non-offensive language as last week's calling attention to the Lord's work may have jinxed my fantasy prospects.
