WEEK TWELVE REPORT
Twelve weeks in the books, only one week in
the regular season left to play. And miraculously, we already know which
six teams will qualify for the postseason! We've never before known all
the playoff squads before the end of Week Thirteen -- so there will be
little drama this upcoming weekend in terms of who's seasons will be extended.
However, there are some important things that remain undecided. Here's
what is up for grabs during Week Thirteen:
The Hair Conference Champion ($50)/Best
Overall Record ($75)/Most Overall Points ($200)
Two teams are fighting it out for these prizes.
Bullseye and NGL© have locked up #'s 1 and 2 in the Hair
Conference and the best (and 2nd best) overall record. Bullseye will win
both prizes with a Week thirteen victory. NGL© needs a
win next week coupled with a Bullseye loss or tie. For the most overall
points prize, these two teams appear to have locked up the top two spots
in this category as well. With one week to go, Bullseye has a 24 point
advantage.
The Lip Conference Champion ($50)/3rd Best
Overall Record ($25)
Three teams: Dippity-Doo, Corey Dillon The
Ball Carrier, and PTP: Peyton's Trailerpark Posse! all are fighting for
the first round bye in the playoffs that comes with winning the Lip Conference
championship. These same teams, along with Eighty-Eight, Late!, have a
chance at the 3rd best record. It looks like we'll be deciding a few things
via the tiebreaker rules.
3rd Most Overall Points ($50)
It's not the biggest prize on the board, but
it is still fifty bucks. It appears two teams, Eighty-Eight, Late! and
PTP: Peyton's Trailerpark Posse!, will claim this one. With one week left
on the schedule, Eighty-Eight, Late! has scored but a mere two points more
than the Posse.
Here are the final results for
Week Twelve:

Eighty-Eight, Late!
(7-5) defeated The
Fruit Baskets (3-8-1), 115-88.
NGL©
(8-3-1) defeated Bullseye
(9-3), 112-95.

(6-5-1), 118-96.

Playoff aspirations were on the
line last night as Green Bay visited Jacksonville in the final game of
Week Twelve. And the chisel was feverishly at work all game long. Who was
the primary victim this time around? None other than our resident idiot:
The Savants! This was a game The Savants needed to win if they were to
keep their postseason hopes alive. Trailing by 19 points to Marshall's
Maulers entering the contest, The Savants had Jaguars RB Stacey Mack and
WR Keenan McCardell left to carry the load. And they responded admirably,
all things considered. Mack had a decent pass catch and a long run both
called back because of penalties, and McCardell had a 20+ yard reception
that was also nullified by a yellow flag. In the end, The Savants came
up five points short, and they will sit out of this year's playoffs. But
it never had to end this way for The Savants. Had they played RB James
Stewart (their first running back selected at the draft) instead of Mack
(a guy who splits carries with Elvis Joseph) they would have won easily.
Sounds like deja vu all over again! Remember last year's Super Bowl mistake
when The Savants sat Emmitt Smith in favor of rusher-by-committee stiff
Ron Dayne? Ahhh.... fond memories.

Byes in the first round of the 2001 playoffs
are at stake next week for five of the playoff-bound teams, so it should
be a good finish. I'll let you know who won what regular season prizes
in next week's report. For the four teams who are now out of it, make sure
to check back in next Tuesday, as I will surely be putting your shitty
squads down. You won't want to miss it!
