Week 12

OK, what follows is verbatim from Elijah, so don't blame the league office.

We're down to the last week with the playoff picture shaping up.

The Gophirs and Football Team are locked at 1 and 2, respectively. The only way it can change is if the Fumblers beat the Gophirs coupled with a Football Team win. Football Team also has to outscore the Gophirs by 55 points for the week.

Stews Crew 2, The Cough Drops and Kitna Kaboodle are fighting for the third seed. If the Crew win, then they will outright own third place. If the Crew lose and the Drops win, then the Drops get third place. If both the Crew and the Drops lose, and if Kaboodle wins, then the Kaboodle may have enough points to place ahead of the Crew for third place. If the Kaboodle don't have enough points, the Crew get third, the Kaboodle fourth and the Drops fifth.

Down further it gets really messy. Suffice to say everybody has a shot. . .except for Brent.

If the Kaboodle lose, they will be tied with the Blue and the Sleepas--if the Sleepas beat Football team. However, because of points, Laurie will most likely get fifth, Sleepas sixth and Blue seventh.

For the pigskins to make the playoffs, they have to beat the Drops, and the Fumblers must lose to the Gophirs. If the pigskins lose, then the Fumblers must also lose and they must outscore the Fumblers by 55 points for the week.

For the Fumblers to make the playoffs, they have to beat the Gophirs and maintain their points lead over the pigskins. The Fumblers make the playoffs outright if the pigskins lose.

There is the potential for Blue or Sleepas to not make the playoffs, if those teams lose, coupled with a pigskin or Fumbler win AND if the Blue and Sleepas don't have a points lead over any tied teams. . .they're out.

Got it?

There will be a quiz at the end of the week.

To the tune of "I Love Twins" - the stupid song in the Coors Light commercial that's played on Sunday night SportsCenters as a summary of the previous week.  Though it's sorta stupid, I think it's catchy. If you don't know the song, you can download the first 30 seconds of the song by clicking here.  Left-click opens in the same window.  Right-click allows you to save it on your own computer.
