Was this week weird or what? I thought the two 50+ FGs Vanderjagt kicked for Indy had to be one of the most heart-wrenching (for Denver & fans) occurrences this season. For those who hand-scored their league's game -- or had Priest Holmes in the lineup -- you saw what a highly-productive game can do for a team. Based on that performance, everyone can see why I tend to "award" the post season appearances in a conservative fashion. (If one player can put up 48 points and a couple others do rather well, it can shift a team's position in the standings rather significantly.) Speaking of the post season, several more teams have received their "invitations" into the RAFFLE Bowl tournaments. Lg I has three post season locks; Lg II has three teams battling for the last spot there; and Lg III has half the field decided. Next week should see almost all of the spots decided. Don't forget that this week includes the two Thanksgiving games. All those playing for Dallas, Detroit, New England, and Washington will have their status locked at 10:30 EST on Turkey day. (For Lg I and Lg II owners, I'll let everyone know which players are being locked on the teams I own/control.) I'm still accepting proposals for the Comp. Comm. e-meeting in January. In the standings, x = clinched division, y = clinched playoff spot, and z = eliminated from playoffs. The updated FFLM files for all three leagues have been posted to my space on Vnet's web server. (Links to the files are on the RAFFLE home page.)
