One week to go -- and I actually have a chance to win my first Fantasy
Bowl.  I've knocked-off the 3rd and 1st seeds, with only the #2 seed
to go. :)

Don't forget all Week 17 lineups are due Saturday at 10:30 AM EST.

The ballots are in and counted......no recounts permitted. :) :)
  All-RAFFLE Team --
    HC Dennis Green, MIN      (over Jon Gruden by 23 pts)
    QB Daunte Culpepper, MIN  (over Jeff Garcia by 23 pts)
    RB Marshall Faulk, STL    (these two were well
    RB Edgerrin James, IND       ahead of third place)
    WR Randy Moss, MIN        (most points at WR)
    WR Rod Smith, DEN         (edges Marvin Harrison by 4 pts)
    TE Tony Gonzalez, KC      (unanimous first-place choice)
    K  Matt Stover, BAL       (Probowl kickers finish 1st and 2nd)
    D  Baltimore              (edges New Orleans by 6 pts)
  Sleeper of the Year --
    Mike Anderson, DEN        (over Culpepper by 14 pts)
  Bust of the Year --
    Terrell Davis, DEN        (Keyshawn Johnson was second)

Full voting results will be posted next week after the reports are done.


And a few off-season matters --
- If anyone has any rules proposals for the January Competition Committee
  E-meeting, send them in.  I'll post them next.  The deadline for sub-
  missions is January 19, 2001, at 18:00 EST.  The results will be posted
  Superbowl weekend, sooner if the votes are received before then.
- If anyone won't be returning for the 2001 season, PLEASE let me know
  asap so that I can get a new owner in place quickly.
- I've already got a few keeper franchises to fill during the off-season.
  (The ones I never filled during this season.)  I'll be extending the
  "official" invite to the eligible Lg IV owners sometime in January.
- The 2001 schedules and draft order will be posted in January.


Home network update -- My e-mail is now going to jt-sw.com.  My address
there is "jtroan@jt-sw.com".  Anything sent to my Vnet account will be 
automatically forwarded to jt-sw.com.  (The web-browser failover didn't
work, but I won't worry about right now.)  The site's move to jt-sw.com
will definitely be over Christmas / New Year's.


The updated FFLM files for all four leagues have been posted to the FTP
portion of the site.
