Managers,
First I’d like to thank Steve (RonPaul4Lyfe)
for taking on the tedious job of writing the recaps. It’s not fun, but we all enjoy them!
I wanted to interject here because there are
6 pivotal games remaining until the playoffs and I thought it would be
interesting to see who’s got the toughest road ahead of them. First, the standings:

There are a ton of teams floating at 4-4,
which means that every game is crucial.
Remember, the playoffs are based solely on record (with exception of the
winners of the two divisions, which automatically get the #1 and #2 seeds,
regardless of where they rank league-wide).
Based on the current standings, the strength of remaining schedule is
pretty easy to determine (starting with the easiest):
#1
– Brown’s Backups – [19-29]
That’s right, folks – the team with the
easiest remaining schedule is the team who has been whooping most of our asses
already this season. Josh is looking at
a pretty clear path to a first-place seeding in the playoffs.
#2
– Guns of the Navarone and Sobchak Security – [20-28]
If I had to choose who had the easier
schedule between these two, it would be tough – both teams are playing against
teams on their way up, like Pack-Men, Sex Panther and Boss Hogg
#3
– RN to the Rescue and Wildcats Rule – [22-26]
Megan has a little bit of work cut out for
her, as she still has to play the resurgent Wildcats Rule before the season is
through. Wildcats Rule has to make it
through The Little Guy, as well.
#4
– The Little Guy – [23-25]
Kyle has had a good season so far, but his
strength of schedule is deceiving – he’s got some of the weakest teams in the
upcoming weeks, but he’s also got juggernaut Brown’s Backups and the recently
hot Wildcats Rule. He’s got a two-week
easy schedule with four hellacious weeks to top off the regular season.
#5
– Sex Panther and Mad Max’s Mama – [24-24]
These two share a number of opponents, so it
makes sense that their SOS is the same.
Sex Panther has some challenges with Guns of the Navarone, while Mad
Max’s Mama is still yet to play the Kanadian Killer, Brown’s Backups.
#6
– PorNada and Boss Hogg – [25-23]
These guys both have only one remaining
opponent with a losing record. PorNada
has yet to play Brown’s Backups and Boss Hogg has yet to play Guns of the
Navarone (though he’s the only team to have beaten Brown’s Backups, so he’s
going to be a tough one!)
#7
– Pack Men – [26-22]
Like the above teams, Brett only has one
upcoming opponent with a losing record – and he also has to play Guns of the
Navarone and The Little Guy.
#8
– Two Hand Touch – [27-21]
Although Rex has two 3-5 teams ahead of him,
he also has Brown’s Backups, Guns of the Navarone, Sex Panther and Pack-Men.
#9
– GrNeGgSnHaM and RonPaul4Lyfe – [29-19]
Samantha has five of the top six teams in the league on her schedule. Steve does not have a single opponent left with a losing record. Good luck, you two!
Samantha has five of the top six teams in the league on her schedule. Steve does not have a single opponent left with a losing record. Good luck, you two!
But, as we’ve seen in seasons past – anything
can happen. An injury to your opponent’s
superstar or your running back’s teammate can catapult you into the top of the
league! Keep on plucking away and set
some records! Earn some respect! And don’t lose hope! (Except for you, Steve –
you’re screwed).
Thanks for a great season so far, guys!
- Jeff
