Next Season's Draft Order & Divisions

Using the double-secret draft pick method and wasting a bunch of envelopes, the draft order for the 2010 season of the 3FL has been chosen. Ten of the twelve teams in the league were present during the selection process.

2010 3FL Draft Order
1. Yuengling Brewers
2. Stiletto Stompers
3. Lightning
4. Spiked Vipers
5. Dumbbums
6. Misfits, Inc.
7. ray ray haw
8. Baltimorons
9. Renegades
10. Predacons
11. Marauders
12. The Comfy Chair

The four divisions will be based on draft order:

EAST
Yuengling Brewers, Dumbbums, Renegades

WEST
Stiletto Stompers, Misfits, Inc., Predacons

NORTH
Lightning, ray ray haw, Marauders

SOUTH
Spiked Vipers, Baltimorons, The Comfy Chair

Thanks to Spreadsheet Geek, the 2010 schedule matrix has already been computed. Each team will play their division foes twice and week 10 will once again be our rivalry week.

We will tentatively hold the live online draft at 9:00pm on Thursday, September 2, 2010.

Have a great off season!

2009 3FL Champion!

Congratulations to the Spiked Vipers!

Coach Googullymoogully's team has already won and deactivated their TE who was scheduled to play tonight (just in case he fumbles five times). The curse of the #1 seed is upheld!

Stay tuned later in the week for final stats and the 2009 season wrap-up.

Thanks to everyone for a great season!

3FL Notes: Week 16 (SuperBowl) Preview

The trophy is headed somewhere new! After a wild semifinals week our SuperBowl matchup is set - it's Stiletto Stompers vs. Spiked Vipers for the 3FL championship.

The Vipers completed an unbelievable MNF comeback to tie the 'Bums and win the tiebreaker by a single TD. The Stompers stormed out to an early week lead and did just enough to hold off the surging Predacons.

Who will be receiving a late Christmas present? We'll have to watch and see.

Here we go...SuperBowl week in the 3FL!

For 7th Place:
#2 Misfits vs. #5 Lightning
How did these two 8-5 teams end up here, fighting not to fall to the last possible ranking in the playoffs? FitzCorp has now lost five straight games and the Lightning have had their usual postseason luck. It's too bad - this is possibly the best matchup of the week.

For 5th Place:
#6 Baltimorons vs. #8 Renegades
Both teams come in with strong QBs and the top WR of the other team's QB. It looks like it may be a high scoring affair, but it will be close enough so that each team will have to watch Miles Austin close things out on Sunday night.

For 3rd Place:
#3 Dumbbums vs. #4 Predacons
One point. That's all that separated the 'Bums from a chance to defend the title and keep the trophy. Instead, they must play the Predacons to earn third place. It will all come down to the Vikings MNF performance, which is appropriate. Minnesota's week 15 debacle is partly why these two are here instead of playing in...

3FL SuperBowl IX
#1 Stiletto Stompers vs. #7 Spiked Vipers
Looks like this one will live up to the hype. Neither team has much experience in the big game (the Stompers lost in SB IV as the Rough Riders and this is the first Vipers' opportunity) so the trophy will be engraved with a new name. Peyton Manning and Drew Brees are the obvious story line - they have a combined NFL record of 27-1 this year. But don't be surprised is someone else rises up to take the title for his team.

Will the Stompers break the curse? Can the Vipers complete another incredible MNF comeback? Or is something even more amazing going to happen? It should be a great one - and the 3FL title awaits!

Happy Festivus, Merry Christmas and good luck this week.

Thanks to all for another fun season!

Semifinal Games
(Winners play in 3FL SuperBowl IX, losers play for 3rd Place)

#1 Stiletto Stompers vs. #4 Predacons
The Stompers avoided the curse last week - can they do it again? These teams look pretty evenly matched. In fact, they both scored in the mid-90's in their first round games. But will Peyton get much playing time on Thursday? Will Percy Harvin be recovered from his migranes? The Preds will be hoping for some more Sunday night playoff magic after the Stompers surge to an early advantage.

#3 Dumbbums vs. #7 Spiked Vipers
The 'Bums hold the trophy. The Vipers have never been to the big game. But this is a great matchup to decide who gets a SuperBowl birth. It's going to be crazy on the schedule, too. They will combine to start 11 players in prime time games, with 7 of those playing before Sunday. Anyone get the NFL Network?

Consolation Games
(Winners play for 5th Place, losers play for 7th)

#2 Misfits, Inc. vs #6 Baltimorons
The 'Fitz have fallen on hard times since being at the top of the standings just a few weeks ago. They have lost their last four and have averaged less than 46 points per game during that stretch. The 'Morons were headed in the opposite direction, winning their last four regular season games before scoring their lowest total of the season last week. Who wants it more?

#5 Lightning vs. #8 Renegades
Will Randy Moss quit on the Lightning? Will Kurt Warner bounce back against the Lions? Will we find out what Quinton Ganther is made of as he makes his first start for the Bolts on MNF? These two teams each deserved a better fate, but that's how it goes in the 3FL. The fight for fifth is on.

Good luck this week. The SuperBowl awaits!

3FL Playoffs (Semifinal Matchups)

3FL Notes: Week 14 (Quarterfinals) Preview

It came down to the final NFL game in our final week of the regular season, but the playoffs are now set. The Baltimorons used a MNF comeback victory to stamp their ticket to the postseason, while the Renegades scored over 100 points to leave no doubt that they were also in. The Spiked Vipers won their game and earned the 7th seed.

Three wins in a row wins it all!

There are two things to remember:

First, everyone who qualified for the playoffs will play in each of the next three weeks. Make sure you have a lineup set from now through the end of week 16.

Second, and more importantly, ROSTERS WILL LOCK AT 12:55pm THIS SUNDAY, December 13th. You will not be able to add/drop after this time. Make sure your team is ready for the playoffs before then.

And don't forget that all remaining weeks start with a Thursday or Friday Night NFL game.

The Comm-nosticator is finished for the year, but game previews are not...

#1 Stiletto Stompers vs. #8 Renegades
Coach Bev is the only member of her immediate family without her name etched upon the 3FL trophy. Is this the year? Or will the curse of the #1 seed stop the Stompers? The Renegades won this battle during Rivalry Week, but we all know that anything can happen in he playoffs. Both twins will be watching as Kurt Warner tries to finish a Renegades comeback on MNF.

#2 Misfits, Inc. vs. #7 Spiked Vipers
The 'Fitz have claimed that they're saving themselves for the postseason, and three straight losses to end the regular season seem to confirm that strategy. Meanwhile, the Vipers have won their last four and have been counting on a majority of the New Orleans Saints to lead their team to victory. These two 3FL East foes split their regular season matchups and they'll both have a chance to kickoff the week while watching one of their own on Thursday night. Go Steelers!

#3 Dumbbums vs. #6 Baltimorons
These two again. Father/son, division rivals, SuperBowl champions. But only one will advance. They each won a game against the other this season, but the 'Morons are heating up as they have won four straight to get to this point. It should be an instant classic. Can Coach Drew engineer another prime time comeback? Or will the 'Bums turn the tables while everyone stays up late on Monday night to end the football week?

#4 Predacons vs. #5 Lightning
The Lightning would actually be the higher seed if we weren't split into divisions, so an upset victory wouldn't exactly be an upset. It looks like it will come down to which players score for the Chargers on Sunday. And who gets the start at QB for the Bolts. And if any of their WRs score any points at all.

Good luck this week. The trophy awaits!
