In the first round of the playoffs, the Hand Boys held off their opponents and now move on to the semifinals, but more importantly, into the money! The Bubble Craps Bandits bested sprouts 80-68 and Sofa King Back beat American BadAss 88-70, leaving the top 4 seeds to vie for the championship! Top seed Vandelay Industries will take on the Bandits and second seed Joe’s Pats will face the King. Good luck and congratulations to all teams for making it this far.
Sofa King Back last won the championship in 2014 and finished in last place last year. Bubble Crap Bandits last won the championship in 2009, and finished in 8th last year. Joe’s Pats last won the championship in 2015 and had a fourth place finish last year. Vandelay Industries is technically the defending champ, but current ownership (Rob) is in his inaugural season. If Rob takes home the championship, it will be the first time a first-time owner has won the championship since American BadAss claimed the title in 2004 (the first year Sacred Sundays existed). Looking forward to see how it all shakes out!
Week 14 Weekly High Score Prize honors go to Joe’s Pats, who is claiming his league best 4th Weekly High Score Prize this season. Joe scored 109 points in spite of a zero-point tight end and a 3 point defense. He really only needed three players as he got a combined 79 points from Ben Rothlisomething (31 points), DeAndre Hopkins (24 points) and Todd Gurley (24 points). Great work Joe! Peaking at just the right time!
In other league scores, Young Guns had a rough go of it, with not one player on the roster scoring in double digits and finishing with a final score of just 38 points. While this is pretty low, it is still markedly better than the lowest score of all-time—a record set in Week 4 of 2008 of only 21 points scored by American BadAss. The lowest score in a victory so far this year is 54, held by the Bubble Crap Bandits who beat Finders Keepers 54-42 in Week 9. The highest score in a loss this season was Joe’s Pats who scored 118 points in a losing effort to Young Guns in Week 12, 122-118. (That actually tied the all-time league record for the highest score in a loss! Ouch!) Boy this can be a weird game sometimes…
Just a short update this week, but it wouldn't be complete without the Best Bench. There were not a whole lot of points left sitting idle this week…but this week’s Best Bench could have improved by a solid 39 points. A familiar face, and for a league leading 4th time this season, the Week 14 Best Bench goes to… American BadAss! Jason needed four roster moves to get there: J. Williams for D. Lewis +16, Detroit for Pittsburgh +14, D. Prescott for R. Wilson +5 and S. Diggs for R. Anderson +4.
Only two more weeks until we crown a champion!! And get a visit from Santa!!
