WEEK THIRTEEN REPORT
   
The regular season is over and it is time to start the playoffs! This year, the Lip Conference dominated the Hair Conference thoroughly, and I highly doubt that the two divisions will ever be so lopsided again. Every Lip Conference team finished with a winning record while not one Hair Conference team ended the regular season above .500 ! Also, the Lips won the interleague battle 19-6, and managed to get four teams into the playoffs. Only two Hair Conference teams qualified for the playoffs. So who made the playoffs and who will be taking an early summer vacation? Let's take a look:
 
Teams in the
1999 Playoffs
Teams with Lottery
Draft Picks in 2000
Randy's Rocket - Lip Conference champion, best overall record, and 3rd most overall points. They are the #1 seed in the playoffs as they coasted through most of the season dominating their weaker opponents.
 
Jo-Boo's Browns Backers - Hair Conference champion, based on a tiebreaker. With a 6-6 record they are lucky to have even made the playoffs, let alone get the #2 seed and a first round bye! One of three teams to make the playoffs in every year.
   
P.O.B.'s Pounders - Lip Conference runner-up, 2nd best overall record, and most overall points. They are the #3 seed and the most dangerous of any team left with the best RB tandem in the league in Faulk & Levens. We'll have to see if Dorsey's ribs can heal in order to avoid an early upset.
   
Scott's . . . Savants - They are the #4 seed as they finally made the playoffs after being shut out the last two years. Due to a tiebreaker, they lost the 3rd best overall record prize and still have a career earnings total of $0!
 
The Pussy Willows - 2nd most overall points, 3rd best overall record, they are the #5 seed. After a 3-6 start, they needed to win their final four games to keep their consecutive playoff appearance streak intact.
    
The Fat Bus - Hair Conference runner-up, they are the #6 seed. Only a league rule mandating that conference runner-ups are guaranteed a playoff berth kept this underachieving team's season from ending early. One of three teams to make the playoffs in every year.
T.T.M.F.N. - draft pick #1 next year, and not to anyone's surprise...they were a lost cause from day one!
 
Chisel Squad - draft pick #2 next year, we really had expected much, much more from this team...maybe next year they can finally get over the hump
 
St. Johns Ragin' Amies - draft pick #3 next year, they paid their dues during their rookie year and took their lumps with dignity...and now they have at least one decent franchise player for next year!
 
White Chocolate - draft pick #4 next year, they got screwed out of the playoffs this year because they played in the dominant conference. They tied for 3rd place both in overall record and in the Lip Conference, yet lost the playoff tiebreaker to two other teams. Those conference games are, oh!, so important!
  
Here were the final results for Week Thirteen:
      
P.O.B.'s Pounders (8-5) defeated St. Johns Ragin' Amies (5-8), 87-73
Jo-Boo's Browns Backers (6-6-1) defeated The Fat Bus (6-6-1), 75-73
T.T.M.F.N. (3-10) defeated Chisel Squad (5-8), 80-78
Scott's ... Savants (7-6) defeated White Chocolate (7-6), 119-84
The Pussy Willows (7-6) defeated Randy's Rocket (10-3), 110-67
