Congratulations to the Jelly Beans who have clinched their 2nd SWFFL Championship. Two other teams locked up Money spots and one more team has been officially eliminated. The commissioner is not happy as that last little bit is about my team. You'll probably get this too late for this warning to help, but every game but the last Thursday, Sunday and Monday night games, are on Saturday. For this reason, I have set the lineup deadline for 1:00 on Saturday, so get those lineups set before setting off on your Christmas Eve events. Week 15 also marked the end of Casey's Survivor pool. Steven C. won it, Toast dropped to second this year and Ron finished in fourth.

  Don't forget to keep an eye on the old web site (http://swffl.50megs.com). It has updated archives and historical records. I will also add some web-exclusive materials there, like the complete 2011 Draft analysis, as I develop them. Anybody with ideas, send them to me and I will see what I can do.

Key Matchups to watch this Week

  In a game about pride, the Dream Team will try to avenge their early season loss to the Black & Blue Attack. The Roxborough Wranglers will try to sweep the Body Shop and stay alive for that final Money Spot. The Money Takers will try to complete the season sweep of the Good Fellas and keep that second place slot. The Jelly Beans will try to complete the season sweep and at least clinch a tie for the best SWFFL record ever (or at least best that I have in the archive). The Young Gunz will try to complete the sweep the Fightin Irish in the only contest between current Money Teams.

  Spock was 3 of 5 making him 36 of 65 (55%) on the year and he retains top billing, his locks appear above. Norm was 2 of 5 making him 33 of 65 (51%) on the year. His lines (actually my estimates) appear below:

  Two games were over on Sunday. The other 3 games had some Monday Nigh Madness (some more than others).

  The Fightin' Irish completed the season sweep of the Body Shop as they jumped up into a tie for 2nd place and clinched a Money Spot. They were led by Reggie Bush. The Defending Champion Shop was led by Tebow as they continue to battle for last place. A Matthews start over would have moved the Shop out of the basement.

  The Young Gunz avenged their early season loss to the Money Takers and kept their 2nd place chances alive. The Gunz were led by Stafford, Marshall and White. Despite the loss, the Takers clinched a Money Spot. The Young Gunz "W", coupled with a couple of other key losses elsewhere in the league, has reduced the Gunz magic number to 1. So, barring a collapse, the final 4 Money Teams is all but set in stone, although the final order is still up for grabs.

  The Jelly Beans locked up their 2nd title, grabbed the weekly helmet and completed the season sweep of the Roxborough Wranglers as Antonio Brown could not overcome a 49.3 point lead on Monday night. The Beans were led by Brees, McCoy and Graham (as they have been most of the year). Only Celek cleared the 20 point barrier for the Wranglers as their Money hopes have all but disappeared. Once again, congratulations Jelly Beans.

  The Black & Blue Attack avenged their early season loss to the Good Fellas as Wallace and the STEELERS easily overcame a 1 pt. lead on Monday night. The Attack was led out of that dreaded basement battle by Newton and Megatron. The loss severely dimmed if not extinguished the Fellas Money hopes. Brady and Jones led the Fellas in the loss. There were several options on the bench that might have allowed the Fellas keep pace, with the easiest option being a Longwell start over Gould.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Dream Team and the Black Revenge. Granted this game had no impact on the top of the standings, but did involve some Monday night madness and for one week this year my team was on the other end of one of these bloody Monday night struggles. The Dream Team completed the season sweep of the Black Revenge, as Crabtree and Davis overcame a 18.3 point lead on Monday night. The Dream Team was led by Rodgers. The Revenge was led by Romo and Foster in the loss that keeps them in the battle of the Basement. The second lost to the Dream Teamers by less than 10 points has spawned rumors of a major shakeup in the Revenge front office.
