2010 Subsim Fantasy Football Reports

[Gut Wrench]

IT BEGINS.
...and the draft is not without drama.


Welcome to another year of smack down, the Chad and TO Show, and the 2010 Subsim Fantasy Football, as the teams head once again into battle, for the coveted, Torpedo Bowl.

This year, we had 16 teams show up for the draft, the last one joining literally minutes before the pre season deadline. A late decision saw Commissioner McBee telephoning all his usual money contacts looking to see if they wanted in on the premier fantasy season. Trump said no, Murdoch wanted all the television rights, and in the end, it was a teenage girl who came up with the exorbitant donation for Subsim.

If she can donate to Subsim - why not you?

Commercial break over, back to the draft.

The international teams were reduced to two this year, the surprise of the season Helmand Nighthawks relocating from Cypress to London to take advantage of the shorter flights to and form the USA. They had first pick of the draft, and no surprises there, Chris Johnson is now on the team.

Defending title holders the Dragons were down the list, eying off their week 1 opponents the other international team, the Australian Taipans. The Dragons were regimental in their selections, as were most teams, with the first real surprise of the draft occurring in round four when upstarts from last year, The Green Beans took Minnesota.

Some other notable moves, Adrian Peterson is now a Badass, the Dallas Cowgirls are Ded (Poets) , and Peyton Manning has his ass in another saddle with the Broncolo's. A late arrival to the draft after it concluded, Aramike discovered he still drafted a pretty decent team.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For his efforts in putting together a 16 round draft that took less than an hour (compared to last years 6 hour drag) the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Commissioner McBee with the Preseason MVT.

SEASON PREVIEW.
Dragon Slayers Wanted.


The draft is done, the preseason is over, and the starting squads have been selected, leaving several teams with enough wide gaps that Bernard is close to being a starting wide receiver, albeit with the Raiders.

It's time to strap on, pull on your big toys and get ready to go 16 weeks through the most gruesome (and frustrating) football season yet. The Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) have looked at each team. For the plethora of watchers, (and those tuning in for the broadcast at periscope depth), here is this season's preview.

Let's just come right out and say it now, if you wanna win this year, you have to be a Dragon slayer. Three-peat performer Rick has had his way, but the heir apparent this year could come from within his own division. With realignment from 4 to 2 divisions, the Dragons find themselves in the Surface Skimmer division as last years runner up Every Given Sunday, last years third place team the Helmand Nighthawks, and last years fourth place team the BP Badasses. The division also boasts two new debut teams, the South West Rockets and the Takky Glue.

In the Sub Simmers Division, the Bronolo's come in as debutantes, but, they also finished third in 2008 in another fantasy conference. Look for them to to upset the obvious front runners of the Really Ded Poets and the Wild Boston Terriers. Conceivably, this division could fill 5 of the Post Season seeding, given that the potential four strongest teams have to squabble among themselves.

But, you're not here to to listen to the pros and cons of who's better and who's stronger, you're here for a prediction, something to base that first bet on at Neal's Pearland Casino. So here it is, the top teams for this year.

#5. The Wild Boston Terriers.
McBee with Aaron Rodgers and the New Orleans defense take the top seed in the Sub Simmers division by a game and a half.

#4. The Dynasty is over, not before Rick's Dragons win another divisional title, but falter in the post season when Joe Flacco gets injured, and the Charger defense crumbles (again).

#3. The Ded Poets, with gunslinger Tony Romo scrape into the post season, and look like going all the way until Rob Bironas misses an extra point kick.

#2. Every Given Sunday, repeats last years amazing start, limps into the post season through the back door and comes up one touchdown short in the final game. They become much heralded, and although they go home without the trophy, they do end up scoring with the cheerleaders from the winning team.

#1. Tom Brady, Donald Driver and the Indianapolis defense team up with the most mid season changes, under Coach Chris, to lift the mantle and take the Subsim Bowl back to merry old England, where the Helmand Nighthawks are greeted to a lack luster reception.
They win the bowl, in a country that doesn't really care about football, unless it's round and comes with Academy Award injury performances.

There you have it folks, the lines are now open. Neal does take Visa, and we'll see you right here each Monday night (or possibly Tuesday morning) as we wrap up each game, right here, on the Subsim Football Network.

Cue the music...are you ready for Subsim Football???

[ReallyDedPoet]

Nice, like it that you are sticking your neck out with these picks, including mine :88) ( think I am a tad lower ).

McBee is to high though, should be well down the list :D:D

[Takeda Shingen]

Well, it looks like my season has come to an abrupt end. That was fast; didn't even make it to the 4:15 games in Week 1 before it was all over. I guess that's what rust does to you.

[Gut Wrench]

STUNNED.
Dragons Slayed, Nighthawks Soars.


Week One and the race to the Subsim Torpedo Bowl has brought about...stunning results. Last year, scoring 100 points would normally guarantee a win, but after week one, it looks as though 85 points will get you a W. Stunning.

Two time defending Torpedo Bowl Champions, the Dragons, have been stunned by one of the international teams. Coming from dead last after the Thursday night game, the Australian Taipans have shocked the Dragons, who scored the lowest number of points for all teams in the week. After the game, Coach Rick said "OI, it's week one, talk to me in week 16," before using a taser to stun his team onto the bus.

The Taipans weren't the only international team to win. Canadian based The Really Ded Poets accounted for the Wild Boston Terriers (of Oregon) 114-87, while the Helmand Nighthawks showed exactly why they are the favorite to win the championship, stunning the South West Rockets in their first game with a record 136 - 49 win. Welcome to Fantasy Football Janeva.

The stunning player selection of the week was Broncolo's and Green Beans game. The Broncolo's started Vincent Jackson (suspended) while the Beans started two Saints players and the Viking defense, both teams which played each other. Had the Beans taken even a lackluster defense, say, The Chiefs, they may not have lost to the Broncolo's 82.36 - 67.74

The stunning win award however came down to the final minute of the San Diego/Kansas game. The BP Badasses were crying out for one more Bowe reception to counter Phillip Rivers, the hard charging QB of Mookie's Show Me Your TD's. The game hung in the balance until Rivers 4th and goal faux pau with 39 seconds to go. Final score, Badasses 81.81 Show Me Your TD's 80.91. Winning margin: .9pts. Stunning.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

In another high scoring thumping, the Mudville Nine welcomed the final debut football team, the Takky Glue to the Torpedo Bowl with a big 121-73 win. For a huge effort of 373 yards, 2 TD's and 22 yards rushing the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Jay Cutler of the Mudville Nine, the Week One MVT.

A BADASS WEEK TWO.
...but don't show me your 1 pointers.

This report comes live from Candlestick Park.

Week Two in the race to the Subsim Torpedo Bowl, and we needed the results of Monday night to work out most of the winners and losers this week.

The defending champions, the Dragons, after being bitten in Week 1, toppled league leaders, the Helmand Nighthawks. After scoring 98 points through Sunday afternoon, the Dragons had to hold their breath and wait to see how good the Colts defense was. The younger Manning's touchdown pass to Manningham assured the Colts defense would only score 19 points, and let the Dragons beat the Bowl favorites, the Nighthawks 98-89.

The same pass had implications in 3 other games. The Mudville Nine (1-0) fielded the Giants defense against the Green Beans, but the Beans would still need their QB Drew Brees two passing TD's to put the Mudville away 90-83.

The Ded Poets (1-0) had scored 84 points even before the Sunday afternoon games got underway, but, they still had to wait for the BP Badasses, who earlier in the week had dropped Pierre Thomas. Apparently, the boys in the locker room had decided his ass was not bad enough, and sent the pretty boy packing. The Badasses relied on both Eli Manning and the 49ers defense to eventually score a narrow ass win 85.87 - 84.23 over the Poets.

Not close enough? For the second time this season, Show Me Your TD's has had another heart breaking loss. Last week it was .9 points, this week the Reapers edged past to win by 1.09 points. Even with Phillip Rivers throwing for 334 yards, Coach Mookie was quick to point out "We're the best damm 0-2 team in the league."

Although only two weeks into the season, eyes are now looking at the Broncolo's, who tussled the whole way with the Wild Boston Terrier...until Frank Gore rushed for 112 yards and 7 receptions. The Broncolo's and the Badasses sit atop the Sub Simmers division, while in the surface skimmers, both Every Given Sunday and the Australian Taipans are a game clear of the Nighthawks and the Dragons.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

In Week Two, there were several candidates, including Javid Best rushing for 78yards and 9 receptions. In a marginal choice however, for his effort of 499 yards and 3 passing TD's, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Matt Schaub of the Australian Taipans, the Week Two MVT.

No love for Every Given Sunday, the week's point leader. Just sayin'.

[mookiemookie]

...but don't show me your 1 pointers.



Stealin' this for my new team slogan.

[Gut Wrench]

BRONCOLO'S AND BADASSES MOON THE FIELD.
....in an ugly ass week.


It only took three weeks to create a logjam, but the Broncolo's and The Badasses can breathe easy, one game clear as an intense squabble goes on behind them.

One week after complaining about "not getting enough love" for leading the championship, Coach Mike of "Every Given Sunday" bore the brunt of the Badass assault, leaving a bad smell behind as they won 128 - 78.

The other sore ass before this week started was Coach Mookie. Beaten down in the first two weeks of the season by less than a point, there was partial redemption for him this weekend as he showed that he could loose by larger margins, the Green Beans smacking him 111-101.

The 1-1 Reapers, continue to be a "boogie" for the second year against the Taipans, thumping them 120 - 45. Not even the Reapers expected to spank the Taipans ass, as they heavily backed the opposition at Neal's Pearland Casino. "We expected to be rich losers, not broke winners."

After fleeing across the country, Coach McBee decided to start WR Pierre Garcon, even though McBee left him at the Wild Boston Terriers clubhouse. "So rip me a new ass," McBee answered to the media during the game. And the Mudville Nine did 98-91, and dropping the Terriers to 0-3.

In the thriller of the weekend, the 2-0 Broncolo's took on the 1-1 Ded Poets. The Broncolo's had 112 points by Sunday night but had to wait out until the Ded Poets RB Matt Forte, and WR Greg Jennings and Johnny Knox finished penalizing each other at Soldier Field, before winning by 15 yards....I mean points.

After surprise loses in earlier rounds, both the Dragons and the Nighthawks posted 30 point wins respectively over the South West Rockets and the Takky Glue. In so doing, the Dragons and Nighthawks created a five way tie within the Surface Skimmers division. With two more from teams from the Sub Simmers division also 2-1, it's getting crowded approaching quarter way through the season. However, the feature game next week will be the battle of undefeated, when the Brocolo's host the Badasses.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

In Week Three, it was hard to go past 160 rushing yards, 2 rushing TD's and 5 receptions for 30 yards as an outstanding performance. The Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Adrian Peterson of the BP Badasses, the Week Three MVT.

We're still the best damn 0-3 team in the league!

Poor man..

I'm surprised it was such a close game for us given the predictions.. And yet, you still could of owned up on me by starting one of your backups, and you had 2!!

Poor poor mookie :haha:

BADASSES CRACK ONE
Field sniffing from one behind.


Week four in the race to the Subsim Torpedo Bowl and there remains only one team undefeated, two yet to get their first win, and a whole heap of football left to decide the balance of the games.

But the big talk this week was the word "Bye". Bye bye to points, and there were a lot of teams playing their bye players. The Broncolo's started Thomas Jones and Kellen Winslow (Bye), the Green beans started Ryan Succop (another bye), plus you also have a slew of other teams who had players that may as well been scheduled for the bye - they did nothing. Including: Randy Moss (Show me Your TD's), Mario Manningham, Julian Edelman and the Bills Defense (scoring -4) of the Green Beans, Andre Johnson (Dragons) and Mike Sims Walker and Darren Sproles (minus score as well) for the Taipans.

And just quietly, several coaches are complaining about the lack of scoring TD's by their starters.

Not Coach McBee though, getting his first win of the season against the 107-49. "At 1-3 we're still a chance," he reported at the post game media conference. Across the country even Coach Rick of the Dragons was still upbeat about 2-2, losing out to Every Given Sunday 104-92. The Dragons sit with four other teams at 2-2 looking ahead at the 3-1 teams.

Worth talking about was Coach Mookie breaking the one point hoodoo...getting thumped by the Mudville Nine 102-65. "We got so sick of loosing by one," Mookie reported. "That we just wanted to see if we could loose by a lot." 48 points...that was almost the total points score of the Green Beans.

So as we head into the second quarter of the year, The Badasses stand tall as the red hot burning team to beat. One game back, the Broncolo's, Helmand Nighthawks, a surprise entry by Every Given Sunday and the Mudville Nine are locked at 3-1.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

In Week Four, it was one of the teams getting their first win of the year, and done in such decisive fashion. 2 sacks, 4 interceptions, 2 defensive touchdown, and 2 blocked kicks, The Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present the New England Patriots Defense of the Takky Glue, the Week Four MVT.

Winless season possible! Whee!

When do we start being described as "hapless?"

MOOKIE GETS ONE
...and there's trouble in another cell phone.


Week five in the race to the Subsim Torpedo Bowl and there remains only two contenders to the football immortals; the 1972 Dolphins...and the 2008 Lions.

The fans came out in force to see the best damm 0-4 team in the league, Show Me Your TD's shock one of league leading teams and finally move off the bottom rung of the ladder and advance to 1-4. "As hard as it may be," Coach Mookie proclaimed at the after party function at the Republican Convention Stripper headquarters, "we are still in the hunt for the post season."

How anyone can be in the hunt for the post season when their starters fail to score, or indeed, score negatively, is amazing. Once again, this week, we had players out on the paddock pretending to be goal posts. Greg Olsen (Dragons), Jermichael Finley (Reapers) Mario Manningham (Green Beans) and Steve Smith (Mudville Nine).

Having said that, the Rams Defense scored a total of -3 for the Takky Glue, but that didn't stop them from compiling the second biggest upset of the weekend, downing the front running Every Given Sunday 94 - 74.

After getting a much needed win last week, the Wild Boston terriers were heavy favorites against the Helmand Nighthawks. Through a week of multiple positional changes and one trade, Mr. Chris was able to smear the Terriers with a convincing 111-69 win, moving the Nighthawks to 4-1 to lead the Surface Skimmers division.

Year after year, people talk about the "immortal" teams, the two teams by which all others are held accountable. The 72 Dolphins have yet to pop the champagne as the BP Badasses didn't even need to start Monday night to beat the Mudville Nine 125 - 101. The other team, the 2008 Detroit players are now looking at only one team, as the South West Rockets fall to 0-5. In the "family feud" edition of the league, father Pioneer sent daughter #3 to the lions despite her best score of the year, 143 - 104.

Like all good leagues, the use of cell phones has been brought into question, yet again. The Associated Subsim Writers have learned that at least three coaches have been embroiled in a scandal involving racy pictures. None of the coaches have been identified, but the sender of the racy pics has gone public....because no one else will. The ASW has found the woman at the center of the scandal, sending pics of herself to coaches. (http://media.bigoo.ws/content/98/279298/Ulgy-Women.jpg) More details as they unfold throughout the season.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

In Week Five, it was a dynamic performance of 166 yards, 2 TD's and 2 receptions for an additional 23 yards, which stood out, winning in the most lop sided game of the week, 150-58. The Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present the running back Matt Forte of the Really Ded Poets, the Week Five MVT.

PIVOTAL SUCCESS
...and for some, failure.


Some people will do anything to stop the Press reporting the fantasy football league, even if it means infecting the Subsim website with supposed malware. Mark my word, when we get to the end of the regular season, coaches are going to look back and point to Week Six as pivotal to their success...or failure.

Let's starts with the Immortals...the 2008 Lions are popping the champagne as the youngest coach in the league gets her first W, edging the Reapers 73-70. "Good thing everyone thought Calvin Johnson was ill, otherwise he might have had a great day," Coach Janeva said at her first press conference....which she had to be escorted into after security locked her out not knowing who she was. The win drops the Reapers two games back as they head into the "hard" part of their season.

The other immortal team, the 72 Dolphins are still chilling their champagne, but it didn't come without a fright. The BP Badasses were favorites by twenty points, but, the decider was James Jones of the Wild Boston Terriers who scored nothing, leaving the Terriers .62 short, losing 98.56 - 98.14. Coach McBee at the post-game conference commented on Jones, "Son of a bitch," which on his team, is actually true.

Defending Torpedo Bowl champions the Dragons, with two starters who failed to scored for the second week, fall to 3-3 to the Takky Glue 81.45 - 77.20. The Glue managed to equal the Dragons .500% record but leap a half game ahead by divisional wins.

The most surprising of the Surface Skimmers divisional games was the brutal thumping by Every Given Sunday of the Helmand Nighthawks. In a dejavu from last season, EGS once again knocked off the league leaders, 120 - 88. The win puts both in a three way 4-2 battle. The third team, the Australian Taipans, were lucky to get away with the Green Beans playing Chad Ochocinco (on a bye) and win 92-78.

One of two emerging teams out of this week is the Ded Poets. Big scorers last year, the Poets have quietly advance to 4-2, convincing winners against Mookie and TD's 89 - 69. The Poets advance to a share of second place in the Sub Simmers division, trailing the perfect asses by 2 cheeky games.

The other team, the Broncolo's with their second round pick Peyton Manning, racked up a 111 score against the Mudville Nine. Even though the Nine had Mike Thomas playing on Monday night, once the game become lopsided, the Nine just ran out of time for Thomas to catch enough points.

So as we head into week seven, The Bp Badasses hold a two game lead over everybody, and are potentially just two games away from a guaranteed post season spot. At 4-2 five teams are all tied up, and at 3-3 a trio lay in contention still...but need to get the lead out.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

In Week Six, it's hard to overlook the injury which helped a team to their first win. For the effort of 5 receptions for 146 yards and 2 TD's, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present wide receiver Calvin Johnson of the South West Rockets, the Week Six MVT.

INJURY PLUG AND PLAY
...but can anyone plug the Badasses?


Week Seven in the Subsim Football league and a mixture of what otherwise might be "nothing" games, suddenly fell over like a house of cards.

In the self proclaimed "cellar dwellers" game between the Wild Boston terriers and Show Me Your TD's. it took Coach Mookie almost the entire weekend to prove that his team at 1-5, was no fluke. Having lost three thrillers, the TD's were able to put away a lot of people's early favorites, The Wild Boston Terriers, 99 - 85. The loss puts the Terriers in contention for first pick of the draft next year.

To do so, the Terriers are going to have to get around the South West Rockets, who in the seventh week of the season allow the fifth team to put up a record score. The Rockets drop to 1-6 with the Takky Glue advancing to 3-4 with their 120 - 74.

At the end of week seven, The Bp Badasses easily accounted for the Green Beans, 139 - 76. The win advances the Badasses to just one win short of assuring themselves the first playoff position, as they lead the SubSimmers Division 7-0, with a three game lead.

In the Surface Skimmers Division, the entire division has been thrown upside down with two key losses and one win.

The Helmand Nighthawks were favored by over 30 points to beat the Reapers, but for the second time this season, the Reapers have shown they can roll the #1 seed. Against an all star Nighthawks, the Reapers drop the Nighthawks to 4-3 with an unexpected, but well deserved 108 - 76 win.

The second game was a "winner take all" and divisional lead, with the Australian Taipans coming out of no where, with their unexpected 77 - 49 win against Every Given Sunday. With the Dragons accounting for the Broncolo's 119 -83, the Taipans win created a divisional 4-3 bottleneck in the Surface Skimmers division, one game back.

But..who's going to be the last QB standing. The South West Rockets potentially have lost Old Man Favre, and the Really Ded Poets have lost Tony Romo, and receiver Greg Jennings may not have a QB. Elsewhere the ripple effect affects many teams. The Taipans with Miles Austin and no one to throw to him, likewise Percy Harvin of the Dragons, and to a lesser extent Show Me Your TD's Randy Moss.

As we stand at the conclusion of this weeks games, the standings for the league are:

1. BP Badasses 7-0.
2. Australian Taipans, 5-2.
=3. Broncolo's, Really Ded Poets, Mudville Nine, Every Given Sunday, Takky Glue, Helmand Nighthawks, and Dragons, 4-3.
10. Reapers, 3-4.

They are all chasing the one Badass out in front.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

In Week Seven, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present, for the effort of 11 receptions for 201 yards, 2 receiving TD's and one 2 point conversion, wide receiver Roddy White of the Reapers, the Week Seven MVT.

How 'bout them...Terriers?
What happened to the lil' doggies?


Week Eight in the Subsim Football league and the pundits are asking, do the Wild Boston Terriers have a dose of "I don't give a Randy Moss" .

In the second week of the "cellar dwellers" game, the Wild Boston Terriers and South West Rockets took off one early Sunday, but the Rockets just soared away, almost winning the game by the largest gap of the week. The final score of 73 - 32 doesn't eliminate either team from the post season, but they are going need help.

At the top of the table, the BP Badasses motioned through another team, using makeshift bye alternatives, easily accounting for the Broncolo's who continued to start another two players out for the week. The win lifts the Badasses to a sickening 8-0, three games clear of their nearest divisional opponent, and mathematically placing themselves one game short of a clinched post season berth. The 72 Dolphins are worried.

The Mudville Nine are the first of those teams three games back from the Badasses. Coach Casey had circled this week against Show me Your TD's as the key game to start their post season run. "They can show us what they like, but we're here to get in, play dirty and punish them." The Nine did it by playing the Giants defence, also on a bye this week. Final score, Mudville Nine 110, Mookie and TD's 96.

The Really Ded Poets have slowly gone about business, hiding beneath the radar of the Canadian border. The Poets were matched against the Green Beans, who started two players out for the week on a bye. Final score, the Poets destroyed the Green Beans for the biggest win of the week, 110-41, and advance to 5-3.

The Takky Glue were looking to extend their winning streak to 5 playing against the Dragons, whom they defeated earlier in the year. In the rematch, the game hung in the balance until Monday night when the Dragons kicker Neil Rackers and Andre Johnson did just enough to lift the Dragons to victory, 105-78.

The second game hanging in the balance late Monday was Every Given Sunday and the Helmand Nighthawks. Although not quite in the same doghouse as the Boston Terriers, the Nighthawks struggle to contain EGS, needing Adam Vinatieri to kick between 9 and 11 field goals to get the win. Unfortunately for him, Every Given Sunday dropped the Nighthawks for their third loss, winning 97-85.

The thriller of the week, while not being a high scoring game, was the Reapers against the Australian Taipans. The Reapers have owned the Taipans for the last two years, taking them 3-0 despite being underdogs by at least 20 points. On Monday night the Taipans looked like they might finally break the jinx, until with 41 seconds to go, Matt Schaub was sacked, and the Reapers beat the Taipans with the closest score of the weekend, 68.15 - 67.57. The loss drops the Taipans into a three way tie for the Surface Skimmers division with Every Given Sunday and the Dragons at 5-3.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

In Week Eight, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present, for the effort of 3 sacks, 3 interceptions, and 1 fumble recovery, for a score of 18 points, the Rams defense of the Dragons, the Week Eight MVT.

HAULING ASS
Can no one penetrate the Bad ones?


Week Nine in the Subsim Football league, and around the league, Coaches are shocked. Earlier in the week they all got together to go see magician David Copperfield, but it wasn't until the the Badasses got off the field, that everyone said "How the hell did he do that?" The Badasses asserted their dominance, throttling the Dragons with a record 167 - 115 win.

The win assures the Badasses a post season position, and leaves them one game shy of home field advantage through the playoff. "We're pretty freaking happy about this, despite the fact we're now getting hate mail from the 72 Dolphins." On the other side of the game, the Dragons lead by Coach Rick, short by .03 points of their best score for the year, fall into an avalanche of 5-4 teams in the Surface Skimmers division.

One of the most intriguing games in that division was the Takky Glue - Taipans matchup. The Glue started out 20 point favorites, despite being 4-4 to the Taipans 5-3. At the start of Monday night, the Taipans lead by 4 points. For the second week in a row, the Taipans have choked, losing 77-62. Coach Pioneer was livid at his team, with reports that the Cowboy fire sale starts tomorrow.

Coach Casey with the Mudville Nine has quietly put together a three game winning stream, defeating the Wild Boston Terriers 115 - 54. The win moves the Nine to 6-3 in the SubSimmers division, a game clear of the Ded Poets. The loss, however, was devastating for the Terriers, who head back to Oregon, tail between their legs, chanting "just wait till next year", all but eliminated from the Post Season.

The Reapers join the 5-4 congestion in the Surface Skimmers Division, defeating early favorites the Helmand Nighthawks, Despite having first pick in the draft the Nighthawks have fallen to the cellar of the Surface Skimmers division at 4-5. In the last four weeks they have not scored over 90 points, but, are still within two games of taking the divisional win.

In the biggest surprise of the week, (other than the Badass score) Coach Mookie advance to the hardest earned 3-6 team in the league, by putting up 118 points, the most this season, to defeat the 5-3 Really Ded Poets. "We're still a chance" the TD's cried on their way home, legitimately probably three games back with five games left to play. If only they had one of those early losses back.

Controversy surrounds the Subsim League this week, with Coach Aramike claiming that in two years he has not had a single MVT. Really? I guess the Coach's memory does not extend back to week 3 last year when his quarterback Aaron Rodgers scored 24 points and was awarded the MVT (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=155595&page=3). :nope:

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

In Week Eight, it turns out that Coach Aramike gets his second MVT. The Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present, for the effort of 4 sacks, 2 interceptions, 2 fumble recoveries and 2 defensive touchdowns, for a score of 31 points, the Packers defense is the Week Nine MVT.

BADASSES CRACKED
With a Monday Night Mookie.


Week Ten in the Subsim Football league, and let's just come straight out and say it, what happened in Washington Monday night? Let's start with the "Big Dog" Michael Vick. Playing with the the 2-7 South West Rockets, Vick came out of the pack and ran down a 40 point lead by the Reapers. From nowhere, and with a line of plus 40 at Neal's Casino and Little Girls Candyshop, the Rockets started their #4 pick, to win 120 - 107, and hold the balance of power in three other games in the league.

Since the start of the season, Mookie and his team, Show Me Your TD's have had heartbreaking losses. Sitting near the bottom of the Sub Simmers division, the TD's were matched up against the seeming invincible 9-0 BP Badasses. In a back and forth battle, the lead changed five times until we got to Monday night. With Vick throwing to anyone, DeSean Jackson of the Badasses and Akers of the TD's were the only players left on the field by the start of the third quarter. When Akers nailed the 49 field goal, the 72 Dolphins were cheering, the TD's held, ending the Badasses immaculate season, 111-108. What could the TD's record be if luck had fallen their way early? Possibly 7-3, but instead, they advance to 4-6.

By Monday night the Really Ded Poets had scored all their points, and divisional opponents, the Mudville Nine only had their kicker Graham Gano of the Redskins to play. Even though Vick was the star, Gano kicked 4 points after touchdown, but it wasn't enough, eventually losing to the Ded Poets 93 - 90.

The losses to league and divisional leaders, the Bp Badasses and the Mudville Nine compressed the Sub Simmers division, and even though the Wild Boston Terriers finally got their second win against the flailing Broncolo's 82-74, those losses only benefit teams that had implosions.

The first implosion, begun with the Helmand Nighthawks and the Takky Glue match up. After having publicly declaring last week that he needed a win or his season was over, the Nighthawks fall to their fourth straight loss, dropping to 4-6. The Takky Glue advance to 6-4, but, with all the teams in the Surface Skimmers division taking wins off each other, Mr. Chris and the Nighthawks are still in the hunt for the post season.

Helping them out was the Australian Taipans who imploded for their third straight loss. In week 1 they destroyed the defending champions the Dragons, who brutally returned the favor 115 - 90. Ever so quietly the Dragons have advanced to 6-4, one game short of Every Given Sunday, who hosted the third implosion of the Green Beans, 125 - 85.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

In Week ten, there could only be one choice, and the South West Rockets become the first team to repeat MVT in the season. For the effort of 333 yards, 80 rushing yards, 4 passing TD's and 2 rushing TD's, for a massive 51.16 points, it could only be the "Big Dog", Michael Vick (even though there were text messages from Coach Mookie's personal cell phone asking that he be voted the MVT).

Advance warning: next Monday night's Fantasy Football report will be coming live from a Press Box at Qualcomm Stadium. It may be a little late, and possibly beer flavored.

Mike Wallace and his 8 receptions for 136 yards and 2 TDs would like to lodge a formal complaint for this week's MVT!

Congratulations, mookie. You've had a rough season, and I can't think of a bigger and more deserved win for you. :up:

Ah well. It's all in good fun.

FIRST ASS TO THE POST SEASON
Doggies Get a Much Needed Win To Stay Alive.


Week Eleven in the Subsim Football league, and it doesn't matter how much Coach Mookie wants the weekly MVT Award to be given to Mike Wallace, it couldn't help him against the Australian Taipans this week. "Getting sick of leaving 70 points on the bench," Coach Mookie proclaimed at the post game press conference, before storming off to beat up Steven Johnson and Patrick Crayton.

Last week, the BP Bassases were brought back to earth with their first loss. This week, they managed to put a crack down the center of the Mudville Nine in their top of the table clash. The win of 107 - 86 ensures the Badasses a position in the Championship Round as the highest seeded team.

Elsewhere in the Sub Simmers division, the Really Ded Poets accounted for the Broncolo's, who in the last few week have been running the exact same team of corpses out on to the field. The win by the Poets moves them to 7 -4, leap frogging ahead of the Mudville Nine with their loss.

Over in the Surface Skimmers Division, the top four teams all won, while the Helmand Nighthawks continue to vie for first pick of the draft with their sixth loss. The Dragons and Nighthawks fought a close battle, with the Nighthawks finishing early with 76 points. The Dragons were depending on the Charger defense to get them over the line, and putting 5 sacks on helped them to ease ahead. Final score, Dragons 85, Nighthawks 76, and the Dragons move to 7 - 4. The Takky Glue easily accounted for the South West Rockets 99 - 49, eliminating the Rockets from the Post Season and moving the Glue to 7 - 4 also.

Divisional leaders Every Given Sunday needed everything they had in reserve in their game against the Reapers. With more than 225 points between the two teams, it would be Fred Jackson of Buffalo (who would have thought it) that would push EGS to the 119 - 108 win.

After having some dismal performances, The Wild Boston Terriers finally post some big points, getting their third win of the season by making it back to back wins. In the Surface Skimmers divisional game, the Terriers rolled over the Green Beans 106 - 76.

So the table as we head into the last weeks of the regular season looks like this. The divisional winners and the top two seeds advance to the Championship Round, while the next four go to the Consolation Round.

1. BP Badasses 10 - 1 (Assured Championship round)
2. Every Given Sunday 8-3
3. Ded Poets 7 - 4
4. Dragons 7 - 4
5. Takky Glue 7 - 4
6. Mudville Nine 6 - 5
7. Australian Taipans 6 - 5
8. Reapers 5 - 6

On the bubble:

9. Show Me Your TD's, 4 - 7
10. Helmand Nighthawks 4 - 7
11. Broncolo's 4 - 7
12. Wild Boston Terrier 3 - 8
13. Green Beans 3 - 8

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance. And it won't be Mike Wallace.

In Week Eleven, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present, for the effort of 301 yards, 4 passing TD's, and 21 rushing yards, for a score of 34.57, Aaron Rodgers of the Wild Boston Terriers, the Week Eight MVT.

Really? I NEVER get a MVT award!!!

[mookiemookie]

"Getting sick of leaving 70 points on the bench," Coach Mookie proclaimed at the post game press conference, before storming off to beat up Steven Johnson and Patrick Crayton.

The beating is solely reserved for Randy Moss. :hulk:

Cincy had a decent passing D up until yesterday. Moss was playing a soft Washington secondary and Fisher said he'd be more involved! :damn: :wah:

My fake football team has just as many heartbreakers as Houston's real one.

HEARTBREAK AND THRILLERS
The Close Scores Continue.


Week Twelve and if you want thrilling football, heartbreaking wins and another Coach complaining they didn't get an MVT (despite winning the MVT weeks prior (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=173647&page=2)) then Welcome to the Subsim Football League. Let's start with some of the better matches of the weekend.

In the first of the Toilet Bowl games, the Wild Boston Terriers were hosting the heartbreak losers of the year, Show Me Your TD's. McBee's franchise QB Aaron Rodgers came out and threw for over 344 yards, and despite Mookie's QB Phillip Rivers only scoring 3 points, it was all on the shoulders of Peyton Hillis, lifting the blouse up so we got a real good look at just how rounded the TD's are. Final score, Show Me Your TD's 115 Wild Boston Terriers 85. The end result breathes life in Mookie's season as he stays alive in the run to the post season.

The Reapers have been involved in some interesting games this year, and their week 12 match is no exception, up against the Broncolo's, trying to stop their five week loosing skid. The Reapers came out and scored a modest 86 points and watched as the Boncolo's slowly closed in. On Monday night, it was down to a five point game with the Broncolo's still to run Frank Gore. Gore ran 52 yards before injury forced him out, allowing the Reapers to win 86.86 - 86.15. Another close one again for the Reapers (their fourth) but we're not done yet.

The thriller of the week, early season favorites Helmand Nighthawks came out on Thursday night and scored 99 points with Tom Brady, Wes Walker and Jason Whitten. The Australian Taipans gave up having only scored 39 points, but, Chris Johnson forgot to show up in Houston, so did Vincent Jackson did in Indianapolis, and suddenly, the Taipans had run down the Nighthawks. With two catches to Vernon Davis, the Taipans come back from a record 60 points behind to finally win the game 106.39 - 103.57. If Whitten had one more yard, the Nighthawks would have stopped their seven game losing streak.

Elsewhere in the league, the BP Badasses continue to dominate, as they head towards 1500 points for the season, 200 points ahead of the nearest team. If you wanna beat The Badasses, you have got to have everyone scoring, and unfortunately for the Really Ded Poets, Mike Williams was on the same bus as Chris Johnson. The Badasses roll the Poets (did another coach mention MVT and loose?) 140 - 112.

Slowly but surely, the Dragons have put together a winning streak of 3 games, rolling over the gallant South West Rockets, who will fight out first pick of the draft with the Wild Boston terriers. The Dragons beat up on the Rockets 121 - 98, helped by their San Diego defense scoring 26 points.

Every Given Sunday became the second team to assure them self a post season appearance, when they edged the Takky Glue 83 - 54. The EGS stay in control of the Surface Skimmers division at 9 - 3, one game ahead of the Dragon at 8 - 4, whom they meet next week. Should the Dragons win, the divisional winner will not be decided until the following week, where EGS could be relying on other games to win the division.

So the table as we head into the second last week of the regular season looks like this. The divisional winners and the top two seeds advance to the Championship Round, while the next four go to the Consolation Round.

1. BP Badasses 11 - 1 (Divisional Winner, assured Championship round)
2. Every Given Sunday 9-3 (Assured post season appearance)
3. Dragons 8 - 4
4. Takky Glue 7 - 5
5. Ded Poets 7 - 5
6. Mudville Nine 7 - 5
7. Australian Taipans 7 - 5
8. Reapers 6 - 6

On the bubble:

9. Show me Your TD's 5 - 7
10. Broncolo's 4 - 8
11. Helmand Nighthawks 4 - 8

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance. And it won't be a Really Ded Poet as they won it six weeks ago.

The Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present, for the effort of 131 rushing yards, 3 TD's, 6 receptions for 68 yards, for a score of 38.70, Peyton Hillis of Show me Your TD's the Week Twelve MVT.

My punt on Vincent Jackson just sums up my season.

My punt on Vincent Jackson just sums up my season.

Could have been worse. You could have drafted Randy Moss in the first round and Shonn Greene in the second. :03:

[Gut Wrench]

THE DEVIL INCARNATE
Starred in wins, losses, and playoff seeding .

Week Thirteen, and The Devil Himself was the star in at least 5 games. With multiple QB appearances this weekend, Lucifer masqueraded as Sam Bradford (Reapers) 1.09 points, Kyle Orton (Taipans) -.66 points, but unlike those losing teams, when he appeared as Matt Hasselback (Every Given Sunday) -.47 points and Eli Manning (BP Badasses) it didn't stop those two from advancing to the post season. He did however snuff out a lot of teams.

Let's start with the obvious, all roads to the Subsim Torpedo Bowl go through One Badass Land. Putting together an impressive 11-1 season, the Baddasses rolled the Green Beans up in a burrito and munched through them to the tune of 84 - 71. It's homefield penetration for the Badasses (and their new sponsors Peanut Butter Anusol) as they easily win the Subsimmers Division by a clear four games.

In the Surface Skimmers, the divisional title was on the line with one game to play between the Dragons and Every Given Sunday. Both teams last year won their respective divisions before being thrown together this year. In week 4 EGS beat the Dragons by points and by defeating them this weekend 95 - 74, sweep them and ensure that EGS earns the #2 seed in the Championship Round.

Those two are for certain, the rest of the post season candidates are still up for grabs. The loss to EGS drops the Dragons to 8-5, but their post season rests on results from other games. The Ded Poets accounted for the Wild Boston Terriers 117 - 97, who will return home next week to face the daunting task of playing the Badasses in their final game of the year. The Terriers have been in the doghouse all year, and currently stand tied for the league's worst record at 3-10.

The win advances the Poets to a share of 8 - 5 with the Dragons, but, there is a third team on the same benchmark as well. Divisional Rivals the Takky Glue almost bundled the Reapers out out of the post season with their convincing win of 93 - 53. In the final week of the season, the Glue and Poets are set to meet each other, and both teams rely on other results. The winner may not advance to the Championship round, and the two teams could meet each other in back to back weeks in the Consolation Round.

After a heartbreaking loss last week, the Helmand Nighthawks sought vengeance with their come from behind win of the week. Mr. Chris needed both terrific Tom Brady and Wes Welker on Monday night to storm from 30 points down, to eventually beat the Mudville Nine 95 - 88. The loss by the Nine drops the team to 7-6, and dependent on next weeks games against the Broncolo's to advance to the post season. The Broncolo's beat the Nine in week six.

The Australian Taipans are the other team at 7-6, after getting stunned by the South West Rockets 81- 72. The Rockets elevate themselves off the bottom of the table in their first season as a last minute expansion team. The Taipans are 5-6 within their division, and in the final week, meet Every Given Sunday, whom they convincingly beat in week 7.

The table as we head into the last week of the regular season looks like this. The two divisional winners are decided and will advance to the Championship round, irrespective of the outcome of the last week. The next two best seeds advance to the Championship Round, while the next four will fight out the Consolation Round.

1. BP Badasses 12 - 1 (Divisional Winner, assured Championship round)
2. Every Given Sunday 10-3 (Divisional Winner, assured Championship round)
3. Takky Glue 8 - 5 (Assured play off position)
4. Ded Poets 8 - 5 (Assured play off position)
5. Dragons 8 - 5 (Assured play off position)
6. Mudville Nine 7 - 6 (Assured play off position)
7. Australian Taipans 7 - 6 (Assured Consolation play off position)
8. Reapers 6 - 7

Despite all of this, there are still teams with a fighting chance of taking the last play off spot with a 6-7 record. On the bubble are :

9. Show me Your TD's 5 - 8
10. Broncolo's 5 - 8

The other 5 - 8 team, Helmand Nighthawks, are eliminated on divisional wins - loss record.

So the big games next week are Takky Glue - Ded Poets, Mudville Nine - Broncolo's, Dragon - Reapers, and (can you believe this???) Show Me Your TD's - Green Beans fighting for a playoff spot, needing help.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

The Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present, for the effort of 326 passing yards, 4 TD's, and a massive 3 rushing yards, for a score of 34.17, Tom Brady of Helmand Nighthawks the Week Thirteen MVT.

[mr chris]

Woohooo my first ever MVT. :D
That makes up for this most testing of seasons.

Good luck to everyone in the play-offs.

[Takeda Shingen]

Overall, I'm pretty pleased with this season, despite starting 0-3. Since that point, The Glue have been 8-2, primarily because of my ground game, with even a slim chance to make the Championship Bracket. Thanks to nik and all for a great season!

[mookiemookie]

and (can you believe this???) Show Me Your TD's - Green Beans fighting for a playoff spot, needing help.

It's been a long hard season of playing the waiver wire in order to claw back from a disastrous draft. :arrgh!:

[Aramike]

Should EGS rest their starters? :O:

[Takeda Shingen]

Should EGS rest their starters? :O:

No, but RDP should clearly consider resting his line-up. The playoff can be taxing. :D

[Gut Wrench]

AND THEN THERE WERE EIGHT
But just who are they?

Week Fourteen, and eight teams bow out for the balance of the year, eight teams to get play on, and the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) are left to ask, 'did no one nominate us for the Best of Subsim?"

But before we get to that, we need to pay some bills, so a word from our sponsors...

DONATE TO SUBSIM

The streak fittingly ends in Detroit for Brett Favre of the South West Rockets. Coach Janeva gave Brett the option this weekend of sitting out with a bruised ego or right shoulder. Favray didn't man up, and the streak stopped at 297. There was nothing left for Brett to play for, which is just as well, as the Helmand Nighthawks came to town ready to play for pride, handing out one of the seasons biggest wins to the Rockets, 177 - 63.

The top seven spots were all clinched prior to this weekend, but it was the eighth spot still up for grabs. Hanging on for dear life at 6-7, The Reapers needed only to win to finish anywhere as high as fifth. Their opponents, the Dragons at 8-5, were fighting for the Championship Round. Both teams were going to need help, and the Dragons got it, marching away 151 - 82. With the Nighthawks win, the Reapers were eliminated on points scored, and the race to the post season came down to the somewhat absent Broncolo's, and the biggest surprise of the year, Mookie and the TD's.

The Brocolo's at 5 -8 were hosting the Mudville Nine. A win for the Nine may put them into the championship round, a loss could have dropped them as far as 7th. In a low scoring match, the Broncolo's benched Payton Manning for the non starter Matt Cassell, and still managed to win the game 71 - 38. But that win came early, and with the change of venue for Mario Manningham and Bernanrd Berrian of the Green Beans, Mookie was sitting on the bench gnawing his fingers off with the entire team having played out by Sunday. It needed all of Monday night and a Giant score for Mookie to get his sixth win of the season, defeating the Green beans 69.67 - 64.52 and move into the final play off spot.

For the BP Badasses, it was a low scoring win, but a win over the Wild Boston Doggies, making the Badasses almost unbackable in the Championship Round. The Doggies go home with some pride, the loss by the Green Beans meant that the Doggies drop back to second pick of next years draft.

The Ded Poets and the Takky Glue at 8-5 were playing for the Championship Round. By Monday night the Glue had scored 97.19 points and the Poets only had the Ray Lewis defense to get them home. Between the sacks and the interceptions, this game went down to the wire, before the Ded Poets finished the game less than 2 points short. Final result: 97.19 - 95.27, and the Takky Glue advance to the championship round, the Poets drop to the consolation round.

Every Given Sunday had the #2 seed sown up before their game against the Australian Taipans, who for the second week recorded a negative QB score while leaving 30 on the bench. The Taipans were assured an appearance in the Consolation series, their final position dependent on other results.

So at the end of the regular season, the play offs begin with the following seedings.



1. BP Badasses 12 - 1 (Divisional Winner)
2. Every Given Sunday 10-3 (Divisional Winner)
3. Dragons 9-5
4. Takky Glue 9 - 5
5. Ded Poets 8 - 5
6. Mudville Nine 7 - 7
7. Australian Taipans 7 - 7
8. Show Me Your TD's 6 - 8

Who would have thought Mookie and the TD's would have made it after the start to their season?


So the match up next week is as follows:

The Badasses will host the Takky Glue whom they did not meet in the regular season. The Dragons and EGS meet for their third time, EGS having swept the Dragons.

In the Consolation Round, the Ded Poets meet the Mooke and the TD's having split the series 1-1. The Mudville Nine and the Taipans will meet to decide for the first time this season, which coach can leave the most points on the bench.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

The Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present, for the effort of 3 sacks, 3 interceptions and 2 defensive touchdowns for a score of 28 points, the Steelers Defence of the Broncolo's the Week Fourteen MVT.

After the absolutely horrible draft I had, it's been a long hard struggle. Pulling Peyton Hillis and Stevie Johnson off of the waiver wire has been my salvation.

[mr chris]

Was nice to end the season with a bang.

[mookiemookie]

Welp....premature celebration.

Helmand Nighthawks are in, and not me. They won the tiebreaker on points.

http://site.jkdjewelry.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/sad-face04.jpg

Nice season, guys.

[Gut Wrench]

AND THEN THERE WERE EIGHT
Be Nice If I Knew That

The public floggings will follow for inaccurate reporting in the media....cause as we all know, that never happens.

The Yahoo Gods had trumped out, dropping Show me Your TD's and installing Helmand Nighthawks as the #8 seed. At 0230 this morning the cell phone rang and the news came through.

"You moron, you wrote the wrong thing."

No wonder there was no nomination for the Best of Subsim.

To clarify, for all teams, it was decided on divisional points, but, because the two teams in question did not play each other, it reverts to total points.

Sorry Mookie, move over, Mister Chris is going to the playoffs.

1. BP Badasses 12 - 1 (Divisional Winner)
2. Every Given Sunday 10-3 (Divisional Winner)
3. Dragons 9-5
4. Takky Glue 9 - 5
5. Ded Poets 8 - 5
6. Mudville Nine 7 - 7
7. Australian Taipans 7 - 7
8. Helmand Nighthawks 6-8

Thus the correct match up next week is as follows:


In the Consolation Round, the Ded Poets meet the Helmand Nighthawks.

BADASSES SHOW THEIR BIGGEST CRACK
Could It Be a Dragon Three-Peat?

Week Fifteen, and we haven't talked about it until now, but suddenly, could it be possible that The Dragons will three-peat championship wins?

The first round of the playoffs in the Subsim Torpedo League, and the Badasses falter. They didn't just fall over, they forgot to show up. Adrian Peterson was listed in the starting team...and he didn't even catch the bus. The number one seed in the league, with an almost immaculate season of 13-1, choked so badly they were confused for the Chargers in January. Set up against the #4 seed The Takky Glue, who most pundits think were lucky to get into the playoffs, demolished the Badasses 117 - 89.

"Who says we have no business in the Championship game," Coach Takeda asked. "I bet it was one of those teams sitting in the stands." Touche.

The Glue, with QB Matt Cassell and the Patriots defense, will meet the defending champions, the Dragons who dropped Every Given Sunday. Divisional rivals, the Dragons turned the tables on EGS to take the yearly tally to 2-1, and catapult themselves into the Championship game. Quietly but surely, the Dragons are back, and suddenly, they're in the biggest game of the year...again.

The Badasses and Every Given Sunday will play off for the Bronze medal, but that's not the only minor game that will be of interest

The most thrilling game of the past weekend was the Mudville Nine against the Australian Taipans. In the highest scoring game of the weekend, the lead went back and forth between the two. The Taipans had Ray Rice go for 153 yards and 80 yards receiving, the Nine had Jamal Charles for 126 rushing yards and 32 receiving yards. By the time we reached Monday night, the game rested on which version of Jay Cutler showed up in Minnesota. Unfortunately for the Taipans, the good version showed up, and the Nine eventually blew out the game 130 - 111.

In the other Consolation Series game, after getting in on a miscalculation, The Helmand Nighthawks continued their high scoring streak of the last few weeks, putting the Ded Poets away 121 - 85. The Nighthawks, after squeaking in as the #8 seed, will be playing off against the Mudville Nine next week for the 5th place spot, not bad for a team that entered at 6-8. There's still hope for the 49ers if the Nighthawks can do it.

So the big game next week, is the Dragons hosting the Takky Glue for the Torpedo Bowl. Going for their third win in a row, the big money is on Coach Rick, but no one is discounting the Glue in their first championship appearance. The remainder of the games are as follows:

#3 game: BP Badasses hosting Every Given Sunday
#5 game: Mudville Nine hosting Helmand Nighthawks
#7 game: Ded Poets hosting Taipans

Of interest, all three of the international teams, the Nighthawks (England), Poets (Canada) and Taipans (Australia) make appearances this years against some heavily favored American teams. Perhaps next year we'll be watching one of these teams attempt to lift the Bowl to foreign soil.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

The Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present, for the effort of 10 receptions for 140 yards and 1 TD, for a score of 28 points, Jason Whitten of the Helmand Nighthawks, the Week Fifteen MVT.

Six weeks ago, I was just hoping to finish a game or two over .500, and now I'm playing for all the marbles; what a season! Regardless of the outcome, I cannot be disappointed; this was a hell of a ride.

TAKKY GLUE STICK IT.
...in the longest week of football.


It was the longest week of football this year, but we didn't need the last 120 minutes to decide that Coach Tom knows how to get his team to the Subsim Torpedo Bowl Championship. In the lowest scoring bowl game of the past few years, the Takky Glue were up against the defending champions, The Dragons. In a game of single digits and negative numbers, the highest scorer of the game was the Patriots Defense of the Takky Glue scoring 26 points

After the game, Coach Tom said between beer kegs and lap dances "Ughhh, blah erg Dragons huh, blur blur blur, duh Glue win."
(Translation: "Well done Dragons, they played hard, but on the day, Glue win.")

It didn't matter that there has been some suggestion that the Dragons may have paid off Goodall to move the game, nor is there any truth that that Tom paid the hookers for the Dragons...the night before the game. But it is true, that this year, that the Glue win the Torpedo Bowl by a handsome 87 - 49.

The one team that looked like winning the entire show was the BP Badasses, who after dropping the first game of the playoffs, were playing last years runner up, Every Given Sunday for the bronze medal. To prove a point, the Badasses showed no mercy, dishing out the superior offence that they have shown all year, dropping Every Given Sunday 141-63.

The fifth place game included the first of the international teams, with Mister Chris and the Helmand Nighthawks hosting the Mudville Nine. the Nine, who quietly walked into the post season after a dismal start to the season, showed that even when the your defense is the Giants, it's still possible to score over 130 points against the Nighthawks 79.

Of the four games played this weekend, the one thriller was for seventh place, where the Australian Taipans proved that the Chargers are not the only team who can choke in the post season. The Taipans jumped out and had a 40 point lead on Sunday afternoon, but that was before Josh Freeman of the Really Ded Poets stepped onto the field and just shredded them. The thrill was in the run down, and by the time Freeman threw touchdown #5, they had the lead and just cruised to the #7 position at the end of the league.

But we cant conclude the last game of the Subsim season without the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) nominating their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For 237 passing yards and 5 TD's and 23 rushing yards, for a huge score of 34.8 points, the Torpedo Bowl MVT is Josh Freeman of the Really Ded Poets.

ALL SUBSIM TEAM NAMED.
...in honor of a getting a leg up.


At this time of year, with the Fantasy Season over and the headaches starting to set it, it comes down to naming the all star team. Not a lot of email suggestions this year, probably because we didn't even get one nomination for the Best of Subsim 2010. :shifty:

This year, our eventually Torpedo Bowl winner, the Takky Glue, came from nowhere. The entire season had been owned until the first play off game by the BP Badasses. So it comes as no surprise that there are three asses in the all star team.

As we are a sub-gaming community, it made no sense to nominate our all star team after anyone outside of the forums. And as efforts vary from year to year, the ASW decided that it would be more then fitting that the name of the best team can change from year to year.

Football is good, but nothing can surpass an education, and this year, one of the esteemed members of this community earned his degree.

So without further ado, let me present to you, the all star team, named in honor of one of finest college men.

2010 NEAL STEVENS ALL STAR GRADUATES.
