Well another season has come to an end. The Commissioner's office would like to congratulate the Young Gunz on their first SWFFL Championship. We also wish to congratulate all the other Elite Teams. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and will have a Happy New Year. The League Party is set for Sunday February 10th at 6:00 at Maggie O'Neils. I hope to see everyone there.

  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 2012 Draft analysis, as I develop them. Anybody with ideas, send them to me and I will see what I can do.

  OK, this is the part where I look back at the draft analysis I do at the beginning of most years. This year it picked 3 of the 4 Elite teams making 32 of 68 overall. Still below 50%, but unless someone has a better idea, I'll probably continue the same old analysis. At least it predicted a Elite finish for the eventual Champ.

  Spock was 4 of 5 making him 39 of 75 (52%) on the year and he wins the annual competition. Norm was 4 of 5 making him 36 of 75 (48%) on the year. I actually did get picks form Norm for a few weeks. Maybe we will do a little better next year.

  Since we have some extra room in the last week, I will be doling out my season-ending awards for the year. The 2012 Fantasy MVP award goes to Adrian Peterson (There were a lot of QBs bunched at the top and after the injury, Peterson was well worth the late 2nd round pick used to get him). The SAINTS are the 2012 Fantasy NFL Team of the Year award with grabbing the top spot in 2 of the position rankings. The 2011 Surprise of the Year is RG3 who wound up 4th in QB scoring and he just beat out Alfred Morris (who probably wasn't on anybody's radar at the draft). Peytom Manning gets the Comeback Player of the year. There were many candidates for 2012 Bust of the Year, but I think LeSean McCoy earned the title, even before he was injured he was not putting up 3rd pick overall type numbers - probably more of a team problem than his - but all we care about is the bottom line in fantasy football not the reason. The 2012 Worst Fantasy NFL Team goes to the CHIEFS. At only 13 points/game, even Charles couldn't save this team.

  The Bishops of Battle swept the M. Takers in grand fashion. The 229.5 point total was the second highest score in league history. Although the Bishops did not finish in the Elite, that week 17 consolation prize has to help ease the pain (they also were the top scoring team this season). The Bishops wee led by Rodgers, DeAngelo Williams, Welker, Thomas and the TITANS. That TITAN pickup sure was worth it. The Takers were led by Spiller in the 100+ point loss.

  The Good Fellas completed the season sweep of the Black & Blue Attack. The Fellas were led by Romo, Morris and Peterson as they could not manage to do better than third place, despite finishing with a flurry on Sunday night. The Attack was led by Eli and Decker in their final loss of a season which I am quite sure the Attack brain trust would like to forget ASAP.

  The Fightin' Irish completed the season sweep of the Roxborough Wranglers. With a possible title on the line there was no room for brotherly mercy. The Irish were led by Peyton, Hilton and Andre Johnson as they sewed up second place. The Wranglers were led by Brady and Jennings in the loss.

  The Dream Team completed the season sweep of the Jelly Beans. With the final Elite spot on the line there was no room for brotherly mercy (hey have I heard that somewhere before). The Dream Team was led by Stafford and Crabtree as they replaced the Beans in that final Elite spot. The Beans were led by Kaepernick and Colston in their second loss in a row.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Young Gunz and Body Shop. The Young Gunz completed the season sweep of the Body Shop and wrapped up their first SWFFL Championship. After failing to clinch the trophy the last 2 weeks, the Young Gunz appeared to be going the route of the TEXANS. However, led by Brees, Martin, Blackmon and Graham, the Gunz not only finally sealed the Championship they also managed to grab the Week 17 second place consolation prize (I really hate it when the Champion nabs these prizes as well - unless of course it is the Dream Team doing the double-dipping). The Shop was led by Luck in the loss. As Casey pointed out to me, the Takers and the Shop were just never the same after their fist meeting. Congratulations Yung Gunz, but don't get used to that trophy.
