Play off semi finals

It will be the Crushers v Wheat Eaters for the Championship. A headline writers dream (clashing T-bones, cool v hot jazz, Plains States Showdown, the Duke Ellington Bowl, the Glenn Miller Bowl, and on and on). Send in your favorite, but the official name will remain the Sweet Onion Bowl.

The Crushers had balanced scoring led by M. Ryan's 9 points to defeat the Colassals 40-19. The Wheaties got 15 from Ray Rice to turn back M. Vick's 18 as they held on for a 47-44 victory over the Onion Heads. There was not much suspense in the Crushers win as the Colassals powerful rb tandem of Turner and Foster was shutout for only the second time this season (the other time being week 2) and kept without a td for only the third time (and the first since week 5). In the WE-OH matchup, the Wheaties caught a break with the OH starting Prater who did not kick this week. Still, another Chicago D td on Monday and the game would have slipped away (much like the collapse of the Gmen, but I do not want to talk about that).

I remind the Colassals and the OH that there is a game for third place this week.

In the Hot Poop Bowl, the Gatsbys beat the Maroons 42-27 and the Salmon beat the Whales 27-21.

With a Saturday kickoff, all lineups are due prior to that. Thursday rules apply for the game on the 23rd.

From everyone here at the league offices, a Merry Christmas to all our owners, teams, and fans.

Playoffs Week 1

WWSOFFL:

Week 14 (Round 1 Playoffs): The Wheat Eaters swallowed Charlie, surfboard and all. D. McFadden’s 23 points led the way in a 67-15 wipeout. The Colassals got 20 points from M. Turner and easily eliminated the defending champion Thumbs 43-16.

The Onion Heads will face the Wheaties and the Crushers will play the Colassals.

Hot Poop Bowl: The Maroons got 12 points from P. Garcon and downed the Ducks 34-27. The Salmon defeated TD Jesus 24-3.

The Gatsbys get the Maroons and the Whales the Salmon.

TD Jesus came very close to a record low score, with only the Giants D saving them with the three points. The lowest score ever is 2 points by Marc Pitre.

Moves: TD picked up Keller and Starks for Dreeson and Jackson.

week 13

WWSOFFL:

Week 13: The results were already sent. The notable performances were by AP (20), Jacobs (15), Jennings (15), Ivory (15), Brady (14), and Vick (14).

Playoff Picture: As already noted, the Onion Heads and Crushers earned first round byes. The Onion Heads have the number 1 seed. The Colassals won the Link Division by tiebreaker and they will play the Thumbs. Charlie will face the Wheat Eaters for the second week in a row. The Onion Heads will face the winner of Charlie-Wheaties and the Crushers will get the victor in the Colassals-Thumbs game.

Hot Poop Bowl: The Gatsbys and Whales have byes. TD plays the Salmon and the Maroons play the Ducks. The Gatsbys get the winner of the Maroons-Ducks and the Whales the survivor of the TD-Salmon affair.

Total Points: Most times, wins and losses and total points even out over the year (although I am sure the Salmon have an archive full of emails on this issue). For example, the Salmon tied for the worst record and had by far the lowest point total. Yet, as you will see, there are some interesting discrepancies between points and playoff positions. Here is the total points in order: Colassals 526, OH 492, Charlie 491, Ducks 454, Gatsbys 429, TD 414, Maroons 409, WE 400, Whales 395, Crushers 385, Thumbs 361, Salmon 316. The schedule maker was kind to the Crushers and the Thumbs. It is very rare that any team makes the playoffs without a total of over 400 points, but for two teams to do it, and to be the 10^th and 11^th in scoring is amazing. The Ducks scored 93 more points than the Thumbs but they are out and tied with the Salmon for worst record (leaving you to wonder what sins they committed). The Crushers won the Julie going away yet had the least amount of points in the Division! The Colassals earned their Link title with an impressive 526, yet they have to play this week while the Crushers with 141 less points get a bye. That is why we play the games. I am sure there is more to mine in these numbers, but I need to get these results out and get to work on some other minor items like grading papers.

RBs 20, WRs 8.

Moves: The Thumbs got Westbrook for Gore; the Colassals Cutler for V. Jackson and Nicks for Manningham; Charlie took A. Dixon for Finley and T. Gerhart for M. Bush; the Maroons went for B. Obamanu for Torian.

Enjoy the playoffs.

Week 12

Week 12: The Maroons, behind 20 points from P. Hillis, defeated the Whales 57-27. The Colassals got 21 points from D. Bowe to lead them to a 48-24 victory over the Salmon. The Onion Heads beat the Ducks 38-26. TD got two from Ivory to beat the Thumbs 35-28. The Gatsbys beat the Wheaties 33-14. Charlie’s law firm of BJGE got 12 points to beat the Crushers 30-26.

Playoff Picture: The six teams for the playoffs are set but the division championships in the Peter and the Link are still to be decided. The Link will have three teams via for the championship with the Colassals, Wheat Eaters and Charlie all qualifying. The Colassals have a one game lead and play the Whales this week. Win and they lock up the divison and then see if they get a bye or not based on what happens to the Onion Heads. The Wheaties play Charlie. The winner remains alive for the division crown and the loser will play in the first round. In the Peter Division, the Onion Heads and Thumbs are in and they play each other for the division title this week. The Crushers clinched the Julie Division in September, but now face a situation where they must win to guarantee a first round bye. They face a resurgent Gatsbys who have won four of their last five games.

RBs 12, WRs 10.

Moves: Gatsbys picked up F. Jackson for Forsett. TD got a new TE, Dreeson for Olson. The Colassals picked up V. Jackson and M. Manningham for Cutler and Nicks. The Salmon got Fitzpatrick for Pennington.

Oz

week 11

WWSOFFL:

Week 11: What a week for the Link! Not only did all four teams win, the lowest scorer, the Colassals with 42 points, would have beat any other team from the other two divisions. I cannot recall that ever being the case before. The Whales led the scoring parade, racking up 63 points behind G. Jennings’ 21 in a 63-33 romp over TD Jesus. Charlie caught the big wave as S. Johnson had 20 points and M. Austin 12 in a 57-31 swamping of the Onion Heads. The Wheaties got 15 from P. Manning and 14 from S. Holmes to beat the Ducks 45-37. A. Foster led the Colassals with 12 points in a 42-27 win over the Thumbs. The quarterbackless Salmon got 12 points from T. Jones to beat the Crushers 24-21 and the Gatsbys got 14 points from M. Colston to down the Maroons 33-21.

Playoff Picture: All the wins in the Link mean that the Colassals and the Wheat Eaters remain tied for the division lead with Charlie one game back and the Whales still in it two games back. The Salmon and TD Jesus were officially eliminated, and the Gatsbys, Ducks, and Maroons are all but done. The leaders in the Peter, the Thumbs and the Onion Heads, both lost and they remain tied for the lead with two weeks left in the season. It looks like the Thumbs, Onion Heads, Wheaties, and Colassals will all make the playoffs, but none have clinched yet, leaving Charlie and the Whales to fight it out for the final spot.

The Whales won the two week money. We had three teams over 90 points!

WRs 21, RBs 13.

Moves: TD: weekly swap of Olsen for Kellar. Colassals went Orton for Fitzpatrick and Cutler for R. Williams. WE: Big D for TB. Ducks took S. Graham for Hanson. OH are coo, coo Cooley, not sho sho Shockey.

The DeSales Irish were eliminated by league rival Waitsburg-Prescott 52-13. It was a disappointing way for Kincaid to end his high school career, but he had a great run of one State Championship, four playoffs appearances, three league championships, and a lifetime of great memories. I am very proud of the lad.

Oz

Week 10

Week 10: The Wheat Eaters won the big Link showdown with the Colossals 24-14 to pull into a tie for the lead with three weeks left in the regular season. The Whales are only one game back after defeating Charlie 30-11. The non-surfer is still alive two games back. The Peter Division is a two team race as the defending champion Thumbs beat the Salmon 27-15 and the Onion Heads, behind 27 points from M. Vick, defeated the Maroons 60-36 to remained tied. The Salmon are all but eliminated from the playoffs, while the Maroons need to get hot to stay in the wild card race. Talk about elimination, the Gatsbys and TD Jesus had their slim hopes for a wild card spot all but dashed this weekend as the Ducks used all the points the other Ducks saved from the weekend in a 55-38 win over the Great Ones and Crushers continued to roll with a 39-21 victory over Jesus.

RBs 13, WRs 12.

Moves: The stockbrokers at TD PriceWaterhouse remained active on the big board of Tight End futures with Kellar for Olsen. Charlie took S. Hill for Stafford. The Maroons grabbed a tradesman for avarice, going Carpenter for Gould. The Wheaties switched from the boys to the bucs on D. Pennington for Henne as the Salmon search for a qb that plays. Colassals want Ricky, and get him for Orton.

The DeSales Irish beat Brewster 33-7 to advance to the quarterfinals against league rival Waitsburg-Prescott. The game will be Saturday at Edgar Brown Stadium in Pasco at 5 p.m. It should be a great high school game, and Kincaid promises that the Irish will remain frazzle free. His father makes no such promises about the people in the stands.

Oz

Week 9

WWSOFFL:

Week 9: It certainly was fall Crush weekend in Walla Walla. The Crushers clinched the Julie Division with a 41-19 victory over the Wheat Eaters in the Duke Ellington Bowl and the Gatsbys loss to the Colassals. This is the earliest a division has ever been won! The Colassals knocked out the Gatsbys behind the perfect day from running backs as both Foster and Turner had 2 tds and went for over 100 yards to lead them to a 51-26 win. The win by the Colassals and the Wheaties loss gave the enormous ones sole possession of first in the Link. The Onion Heads pulled into a tie for the lead in the Peter as A. Bradshaw’s 12 points led them to a 44-27 win over the Whales. Meanwhile the Thumbs had the worst possible day for running backs, the two he started were on byes, in a still close 36-32 loss to Charlie who was led by P. Rivers’ 13 points. The Ducks got 15 points from Green Bay to beat the Maroons 40-30, and TD got two from TO in a 52-12 spearing of the Salmon.

Charlie won the two week money.

RBs 14, WRs 9.

Moves: The Salmon picked up Hartley for Carney; TD J. James for M Hart; The Colassals got Tamme for Woodhead; the OH wend for Shockey and dropped R. Williams; the Ducks got N. Burleson for Olson.

The DeSales Irish beat Mary Walker-Springdale 53-14 to move on in the playoffs. It is off to Brewster, apparently somewhere in the Northern Territories, for the next round on Saturday.

Week 8

Week 8: The Crushers stand alone with the best record in the league after a big Monday night brought them a close 27-26 victory over the Thumbs in the battle of league leaders. The Thumbs held onto their one game lead in the Peter Division as the Onion Heads lost to the Gatsbys 44-33. The Wheat Eaters pulled into a tie for first in the Link Division with another Monday night come from behind win, 27-24 over the Salmon while the Colassals fell to the Maroons 39-30. Charlie had the big week on the scoreboard as B. Green-Ellis’s 14 points led them to a 63-27 win over TD. The Ducks downed the Whales 27-8. (That is right, 4 teams scored 27 points.)

WRs 13, RBs 11.

Trade: The Colassals send M. Hart and the NY Giants D to TD Jesus for D. Woodhead and the Pittsburgh D.

Moves: The Salmon picked up Carney and Henne for Hartley and Romo; TD picked up Jackson (GB) for Thomas and D. Brown for Walter; The Whales took Tennessee for Cleveland; the Wheaties grabbed D. Bess for McCluster; the Gatsbys took the NE D for SD

The DeSales Irish beat Tri-City Prep 22-20 to secure home field for the first playoff game this Friday at 7 at Ty Baffney field. I hope to see everyone at the game.

WWSOFFL:

Week 7: The Colassals certainly were this week in rolling up 78 points with five players (M. Turner, K. Moreno, H. Nicks, D. Bowe, and R. Birones) in double figures. Only the D did not score in a 78-38 blowout against Charlie. There was one other blowout, the Gatsbys led by K Britt’s 23 points over TD Jesus 63-18. The rest of the games were close, and none closer than the Ducks 33-33 tiebreaker win over the Crushers. The replay officials were rough on the Vikings and the Crushers. In the Steve Smith Bowl, the Thumbs got 8 from the New York Giant while the Maroons got none from the Panther to win 37-28. In the battle of Giant running backs, Bradshaw’s two bonus points were enough to hold off Jacobs td and bonus point as the Onion Heads beat the Salmon 31-29. The Wheat Eaters three bye week pickups accounted for 24 of the 36 points in a 36-30 victory over the Whales.

The defending champion Thumbs have the best record in the league at 6-1 and hold a one game lead in the Peter. The Crushers have the biggest lead, by three games, in the struggling Julie while the Colassals are one game ahead of the Wheat Eaters.

How about those New York Football Giants? They spot the Cowboys 20 early points and then start playing. G-Men.

WRs 20, RBs 12.

Moves: Maroons picked up S. Smith (Car) for L. Murphy and Pettigrew for Clark; TD went for Woodland over Jackson; Succop for Nugent; and M. Williams (TB) for Tate; the Whales traded in Cleveland for Arizona; the Colassals took the G-Men for Cincinnati and Fitzpatrick for Cutler; the Thumbs went to K. Brown for Keading; and the Salmon went back to Hartley for Carney.

The DeSales Irish beat a tough Dayton team 24-7. They face Tri-City Prep in the final regular season game on the road. They need to win to assure home field in the first round of the playoffs.

week 6 results

Week 6: The Gatsbys lose, and with style. You know your season is going bad when neither you or your opponent start a kicker who actually plays, your opponent also starts two players on bye week, and you lose! To top it off, if you stayed with your original lineup you win. The Salmon, behind 12 points from T. Gonzalez and B. Jacobs downed the Gatsbys 33-30. The Maroons defeated Charlie 39-18. The Wheaties got a big day from D. Jackson before he was hurt and defeated the Onion Heads 31-26. The Thumbs surged to the lead in the Peter Division with a 30-26 win against the Ducks. In the Civil War game, the Colassals got 12 points from Birones last night to overcome TD Jesus 30-26. The Crushers took a commanding early lead in the Julie Division with a 28-16 win over the Whales.

The Link is the most competitive division with every team .500 or better. As Bob Muir noted, the Julies are just not the same without him this year with only one team with a winning record.

RBs 12, WRs 8.

Moves: Onion Heads took Roy Williams for D. McNabb and D. Branch for S. Smith (Car.); TD Price Waterhouse picked up Pittsburgh for Minnesota. The Whales reclaimed Farve for C. Williams. Thumbs took T. Moeaki for D. Thomas. Charlie switched D, dropping Baltimore for KC. To clear up some earlier confusion I caused, B. Roethlisberger is a Thumb.

The DeSales Irish rolled last Friday 70-30 over Asotin. They are at Dayton this week

Small detail here, but I need to clean up a bit. Being on the road is
my excuse:

So I sent a lineup in, and of course replied to all using an email
from Gummie. Didn't realize it only went to Dave, Jeff, and Gummie.
But I think it did.

In that email, I had a bye week D of KC. Unfortunately, or perhaps
fortunately, my D is NOT on a bye this week. So I've already messed
up and Dave is out of town. Here is my lineup I sent in - and I'm
happy to go with whatever ruling - however to keep it simple I'll just
say make the KC DST a real pickup and drop the Ravens (opposed to a
bye week D).

So with that, here is what I had sent:

Charlie will throw out these names:

Qb Rivers
Rb's
A Peterson
M Bush
WR's
M Austin
M Floyd
TE M Lewis
Bye week D - KC
Kicker - Crosby

Week 5 Results

Week 5: The Gatsbys win. Led by C. Johnson’s 14 points, the struggling Long Islanders got their first win 47-38 over the Ducks. The Crushers opened up a two game lead in the Julie with a 21-18 win over TD Jésus. There were no Monday night comebacks, but the Maroons threw a scare into the Onion Heads with three scores. In the end, B. Lloyd’s 14 points were enough to lead the sweet ones to a 38-36 win. The defending champion Thumbs kept pace in the Peter division with a 41-27 win over the Salmon. The difference in the game was three—yes three—Arizona D tds. The Colassals put up 44 points, led by 14 from H. Nicks, to thrash the Wheaties 44-34. Charlie is tied with the enormous ones as M. Austin’s 10 points led them to a 35-31 win over the Whales.

Another reminder regarding lineups from your friendly commish. Do not send me a lineup with a move you want to make without confirming the move (or providing a list of alternative pickups). We had a situation this week where a team declared it was picking up a player who had been picked up by someone else and was starting that player and then the office on Park Avenue could not reach the owner to tell them the move was not valid. It all worked out in the end this time, but you need to make your moves in a timely manner and make sure they are confirmed.

Having said all that, I will be away this Saturday-Sunday and will have limited email access. I will try my best, but I cannot guarantee I will respond to Sunday morning emails. Make your moves before 3 on Friday to be sure!

WRs 12, RBs 10.

Moves: Gatsbys took San Diego for Atlanta and Britt for Breaston. TD picked up Tate (NE) for Mason. Charlie took M. Bush for Hightower. Salmon picked up the venerable J. Carney for Hartley. Wheaties got A. Hernandez for Sims-Walker. The Crushers finally got Shiancoe for Camarillo. The Colassals went for M Hart for Clayton. The OH grabbed Chicago for SF. The Ducks got Hanson for Sproles.

The DeSales Irish bounced back in the homecoming game against TOR with a 41-14 win. It was not that close. Kincaid plays his last home game this Friday at 7 against Asotin. It is a key league matchup and the Irish need a win to stay in the race for the league championship The bbq is ready at 6. I hope to see you all at Ty Baffney field.

Week 4

Week 4: The big game of the week was the Onion Heads over TD Jesus 49-47. The Heads were led by A. Gates 15 points and 14 points from both Prater and Jones-Drew. On the other side of the coin, the lowest scoring game was also the closest as the Whales edged the Salmon 20-19. Luck is with you when a C. Buckhalter td brings you victory. The Crushers got 12 points from Mendenhall in a 32-26 win over the Maroons. The Thumbs were led by Keading’s 13 in a 25-19 win over the Wheateaters. Charlie coasted to a 30-17 victory over the Gatsbys, and the Colassals big lead going into Monday night held up as A. Foster’s 15 points led them to a 36-26 win over the Ducks.

I know, you are all asking what is up with the Gatsbys at 0-4. We will have a press conference soon.

In regards to the controversy over the Thumbs lineup, I ruled that the Thumbs were playing S. Jackson and not R. Williams because the last lineup I received via email had Jackson and not Williams. The commissioner cannot guess the intent of a team. I go by the information sent to me in the order that I receive it. In the end, it had no impact on the game. Nonetheless, teams are responsible for what they send me. I am just a recorder. That is why I do not tell teams they have started a player on bye or something like that. Not my job, nor is trying to guess what you mean when you send in conflicting lineups in successive emails. I go with what I get.

The RBs returned to the top with 13 tds to the WRs 5.

Moves: Gatsbys took Atlanta for Chicago. The Maroons took R. Torian for Massaqoui. The Whales got M. Lynch for S. Slaton. TD went C. Ivory for Portis and Keller for Shiancoe. The Wheaties picked up S. Holmes for K. Britt. Charlie took L. Moore for E. Royal. The Thumbs went with Arizona for KC. The Onion Heads grabbed B. Lloyd for J. Jones, and the Colassals took B. Rothlisberger for D. Brown.

The DeSales Irish lost to Waitsburg 27-14 last week. They look to rebound Friday night at home at DeSales in the homecoming game against TOR. The bbq is ready at 6, kickoff at 7.

week 3 results

Week 3: The Peter Division swept the Link this weekend. D. Brees had 12 points to lead the Maroons over the Wheaties 36-29. R. Moss’s two catches were good for tds and 12 points to lead the Salmon to claim the pipe line from Charlie 46-40. M. Vick put up 16 points in leading the Onion Heads over the Colassals 52-26. The schedule maker loves the Thumbs. For the second straight week they played the lowest scoring team leading to a 22-13 win over the Whales. In the bruising Julie Division, TD Jesus got 20 points from A. Boldin for a 46-38 win over the Ducks, and the Crushers downed the winless Gatsbys 33-28.

Charlie won the two week high point money, but went 2-0 in the process. Oh, the great schedule god giveth (Thumbs) and taketh away.

Just counting players that started, WRs had 16 tds to RBs 12. Last year, every week, the RBs would outscore the WRs by almost 2-1. The first two weeks it was 12 each.

Moves: The Ducks picked up L (How is he not a Jet) Blount for Bradford. The Thumbs are going to Kansas City instead of Denver. Charlie finally got his man, B. Green-Ellis for M. Bush. The Maroons took L. Murphy for Maroney. The Whales picked up C. Buckhalter for V. Jackson.

The Chiefs may have won again to go 3-0 but the Wheat Eaters lost, returning some balance to the nation.

DeSales had a bye last week and opens league play Thursday night in Waitsburg. This could be the game of the year in the league.

SAUSAGE FEST is this Friday and Saturday at DeSales. Be sure to come on down for food, drinks, games, and music.

week 2 results

September 23, 2010

WWSOFFL:

Week 2: J. Best’s 22 points (with 4 bonus points as a receiver!) led the Wheaties to a 54-50 win over Charlie. Charlie had what could be a record of 13 bonus points in a heartbreaking defeat. The Whales kept pace with the Wheat Eaters defeating the Colassals 32-26 behind 21 points from L. McCoy. TD Jesus, led by A. Rodgers 12 points, won a 22-22 tiebreaker over the Maroons. The Ducks came back from a close loss last week to beat the Salmon 36-23. N. Rackers led the way with 13 as the Crushers beat the Onion Heads 39-31, and the defending champs got an easy first win over the Gatsbys 33-17. M. Schaub with 13 and F. Gore with 12 led the way.

Moves: There were plenty of moves this week. The Onion Heads took M. Vick for R. Grant; the Whales got the Hasselback for Farve and M. Williams for L. Washington. The Maroons were the first to Tolbert, dropping D. Brown, and P. Hillis, dropping L. Robinson. The Gatsbys took H. Miller for Boss. Charlie traded in Gaffney and picked up E. Royal. The Thumbs got D. Thomas for R. Williams. TD Jesus picked up K. Walter for B. Lloyd and Nugent for Longwell. Finally, the Colassals exchanged the bolts for stripes, giving up the Chargers for the Bengals while also taking Clayton for Crayton. BECAUSE THESE RESULTS ARE LATE, I AM TREATING TODAY,

THURSDAY, AS IF IT WAS TUESDAY (the normal day for results) IN TERMS OF THE PICKUP RULES FOR ANY DROPPED PLAYER. Oz has spoken.

Yes, the standings are correct. The Wheat Eaters are 2-0.

Number 54 returned to the gridiron for DeSales this past Friday, and the Irish returned to the win column with a 45-0 drubbing of White Swan. Kincaid was only able to go on offense, but played well into the third quarter before being lifted. DeSales has a bye this week and opens league play next Thursday night in Waitsburg.

week 1

Week 1: Unless you were the Colassals, it was a low-scoring week. Led by A. Foster’s 23, and H. Nicks’s 18, the Colassals rolled over the Crushers 64-28. Only two other games featured teams with over 30 points, and they all played each other. The Ducks just got past Charlie 32-31 on A. Collie’s bonus points. The Gatsbys had the heartbreaker of the week “losing” 36-31 to the Whales. We all know that Calvin Johnson did score that td, and that with those 6 points the Gatsbys win, but we will not dwell on the injustice of overturning that call. Schmitz and Schwartz, the magnanimous law firm. The Onion Heads downed the defending champion Thumbs 18-14, the Maroons speared the Salmon 23-11, and the Wheaties roared out of the gate behind P. Manning’s 13 points to welcome TD Jesus to the league with a 25-23 win.

Moves: We did not start playing and the Wheaties were wheelin’ and dealin’ like it was still draft day picking up D. McCluster for S. Holmes; and TD Jesus picked up D. Jackson and B. Lloyd for Westbrook and Berrian.

The DeSales Irish, behind captain Kincaid Schmitz, are 1-1. After a thrilling OT win over LaSalle in week one, the Irish fell to Number 1 rated Colfax on Friday. But there was a catch. Number 54 was unable to play for the Irish. He should be ready to go this Friday at 7 at Ty Baffney Field against White Swan.
