Around SBN: Yu Darvish Diagnosed With Mariners Fever

Shakedown League Update-Playoff Races

Only two weeks left before the playoffs. All three divisions andd one of the first round byes have been clinched, but 3 spots are up for grabs with 5 teams within 2 games of 6th.

1st round byes:

dothemathis98's 48 Layers of Kevlar won their 9th straight to clinch the division and a first round bye, with a 2 game lead and the tiebreaker over the 3rd place team in the league (mine). A win over jdb's Fighting For Last, sealed the division and a playoff spot for my team, The Inflamed Bursa Sacs. Currently holding the 2 spot is Matic's Pat Beach 4 President, with a 1 game lead and the tiebreaker over my team. One win for Matic or one loss by me and Pat Beach 4 President gets the other 1st round bye

4/5 Seed:

Both Tom Brady's Bastard Children (furrycolt) and the Memphis Red Dogs (ttmemphis) are a win (or loss by Hart Attack) from clinching a playoff spot.

Battle for the 6:

Despite a 4th straight loss Fighting For Last still holds the 6 seed. A game back is Hart Attack (Aerostar193). The two face off in the game of the week, winner holds the 6 seed.

Clinging to life:

3 teams sit two games back of the 6 with only two to play. Both beckmania's The Vanderjerks and slash196's Marlin Bob Antoine Kelvin-Heavy Hitters (4-1 after a 0-7 start) can get the 6 seed with some help. Both need Fighting For Last to lose out and need Hart Attack not to win out.

Gotta Have Hart (Markfive05) is only two back in the standings, but lost head to head to Fighting For Last so would lose on tiebreakers even if they did tie up the standings.

The Philadelphia Ninja Hands setting the record for most points this season

Would be the equivalent of the Lions going out on Thanksgiving an dropping 85 points. I’m still baffled and amazed.

you don't even have the worst record in the league

I’d say more like the Rams or Seahawks, inept but not Lions level pathetic.

that would make a solid team name

if you are going for the self-deprecating humor (like jbd’s Fighting for Last)

Inept but not Pathetic.

Kind of sounds like Wade Phillips’ career.

I should amend that to say

Inept to lead a team to a Super Bowl, not necessarily inept to be a head coach.
