WEEK TWELVE REPORT
For the 2nd consecutive year, all 6 playoff
berths have been claimed by the end of Week Twelve. But next week's games
are still important, as all six playoff-bound squads still have a chance
to win their division! Money is on the line in both the overall points
and overall record races. So don't take the week off if you're still in
the hunt.
Here are the final results for Week Twelve:

Karen's Komets (7-4-1)
defeated Boston Stranglers (7-5),
85-75

TD Taunters (7-5)
defeated Pooh Bott Helmets (8-4),
135-102
The Green Party (7-4-1)
defeated Dawson's Crizzzy

Since we won't talk about or hear from the
four 2003 lottery squads until next fall, I thought it would be appropriate
to comment about each of them one last time. The following teams will be
bringing the beer to next year's draft: The
Savants, Dawson's
Crizzzy, Corey
Dillon The Ball Carrier, and Gimme
The Damn Ball! Who had any idea these four
teams would be the ones to miss out on the postseason in 2002? Probably
nobody did... except me of course! That's right, in the Week
Three Report, I predicted exactly that.
The Savants - Have they no shame? They
started QB Mark Brunell Week Twelve, who put up 15 fantasy points.
Problem is, Brunell was drafted by the Pooh Bott Helmets in round 13 this
year. How someone can start a guy that was never on their roster is a mystery
to me. But it pretty much sums up why The Savants are the butt of most
jokes in our weekly write ups. Their 42 points this past week ties for
5th worst all-time.
Dawson's Crizzzy - The Crizzy could
never recover from their poor 0-3 start to the year. They needed to win
this week to stay alive, but they got pounded by the The Green Party. They
missed out on about 20 points by benching their franchise RB Shaun
Alexander, but it would not have changed the outcome of their game. Their
absence in this year's playoffs is a surprise, especially considering their
overall points total. But I don't think too many teams in the league are
going to be shedding any tears.
Corey Dillon The Ball Carrier - They
are the streakiest team in the league this year. They opened up with 2
wins, followed that with 8 straight losses, and have now won their last
2 games. They should just change their name to The Bengals because that
is how most of the league refers to them anyway. Maybe they'll lay off
the sauce at next year's draft and bring in a better talent scout. Their
talent advisor at this year's draft was better suited for a MLS fantasy
draft than an NFL one.
Gimme The Damn Ball! - They found out
the hard way that Manning would have made a better franchise player selection
than Keyshawn Johnson. The Ball! struggled all year at QB, as Drew Bledsoe
got very cold almost right after they traded for him. Rumblings around
the league hint at the possibility of a breakup in ownership. We shall
see what happens to their front office in the offseason.
I would like to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving
this week, and I'll see you here next week as we outline the Round One
playoff matchups. Late.
