Standings going into Super Bowl

The standings are updated. (If anyone wants me to email them the spreadsheet - email me)

Going into this years Superbowl - spots 2-7 are pretty tight. D. Nicolet (pronounced "Nic-o-Lay" I learned tonight...) and his Chris Chambers pick (the only person in the 77 entries) seem in a somewhat comfy first place... He's ahead 21 with Maroney and Brady...but...A. Pierce on the G-Men ... Some of the folks on his heels have 2 Pats (some combo of Welker/Brady/Maroney PLUS Plax) ....

Should be an interesting finish ... Best of luck to everyone.

Pay-outs will be as posted earlier. (possibly $2 or $5 less for first - depends on how the outstanding 2 people pay me)...

Divisional Standings

Standings as of the Divisional round have been updated. (and tweaked since they were originally posted ... I left out receiving stats for Addai and MJD)

Mr. Nicolet has BOTH of his teams in the top 5 (including #1)...Dorf/Fink in 2nd...
A lot of football to be played, however...

Slight Delay

Sorry folks ... My flight got cancelled - so I'm stuck in Florida until tomorrow (hopefully) without access to excel, etc ... Standings will be updated by Monday night... BG

Minor Standings tweak

Thanks to Dan N ... We caught a minor mistake that effected about 5 teams (positively) ... A. Haynesworth wasn't registering any points and a couple of other small differences...

Standings are updated on the Google spreadsheet.

Also - I'll be in Florida this weekend - so standings won't be updated till Monday afternoon most likely ...

Standings after Wildcard Weekend

The Standings after Wild-card Weekend have been posted...

If you're too lazy to click on the link above...

• Ryan Berger is in first place.
  
• Pugliese is in 2nd.
  
• Wolfe in Third.
  
• Mrs. Commish in 4th(!)
  
• J. Feyrer in 5th...

This said - there is PLENTY of games to be played. Blake, who was also in first place at this point last year, ended up in 9th place when it was all said and done. The team that was in 2nd last year at this point (J. Mandell), finished in 28th...

Good luck next week!

Each Player - Percentage Owned by Teams

It looks like I'm not the only dork in the league.. ;)

Jordan Garfinkel did some analysis on the percent owned per team each player represented. Below is the data... (On a similar note - if you're interested in posting to this blog - with opinions, data, or whatever ... definitely let me know and I'll invite you as an author... I'd love to get some league generate content going)

2 Point Conversions

Unfortunately - 2 point conversions are another thing I left out of the scoring rules. I'm posting it to the blog so I don't forget this year... (was shocked to see there were 3 attempts on the first day of the play-offs)...

Also - to clarify because some people (Rome) have emailed asking ... Special teams plays (including Yards, TD, Tackles, etc) do not count towards your players points... ;)
