Week 12

Hey All!!!!

The regular season is now over and I, the Commissioner wishes to congratulate the four divisional champions:

Western Conference
Pacific Division: Little Flowers of Jesus
Midwest Division: Mighty Birnkrandt Moose

Eastern Conference
Southern Division: Avalon Aces
Atlantic Division: Canoga Lakes Capitalists

Wow, what a last weekend it was in the league. The craziest race had to be in the midwest division but the Mighty Birnkrandt Moose won their game and claimed the divsion title.

Meanwhile in the Atlantic division, the biggest upset in the league this season was pulled off when the Arkansas Diamondbacks knocked the Thunder Mountain Lightning out of the playoffs with a two point win.

I would like to thank everyone for playing in the league this year and hope you all keep up with this blog as the UMFL goes into playoff mode. It's been a lot of fun this year.

Week 11

Hey All,

It's coming down to the final week in all four divisional races in the UMFL. So this week's blog will be know as "The UMFL: Chase for the Playoffs Edition." Let's take a look at the playoff picture.

Western Conference
Pacific Division- This week's game between The Quite Smashing Pumpkins and The Little Flowers of Jesus will decide who makes the playoffs. Both teams are 7-3-1 and the winner here will take the division crown. Odd team out in this division are the Piranhas. The Piranhas sit at 7-4-0 with no chance to win the division. Wow, what a difference a couple of ties make in the race.

Midwest Division- The Mighty Birnkrandt Moose hold a one game lead over the Cunning Old Guys. If the Moose win this week they will take the division. If the Moose lose and the Old guys win, then the league will have to go all the way down to the fourth tie-breaker to decide the winner. That tie-breaker is total points scored during the regular season. Right now, the Old Guys have outscored the Moose, 872-868. So, to win the division, the Old Guys need to win their game, have the Moose lose their game, and then hope they hold on to their five point lead in total points scored. Whew!!!!

Eastern Conference
Southern Division- The Avalon Aces face the K. Kiwis for the division crown. The winner is in as division champs, the loser stays home.

Atlantic Division- The Thunder Mountain Lightning control their own destiny. If they win this week, they win the division. The Canoga Lakes Capitalists need to win their game this week along with a Lightning loss to claim the divsion title.

Okay folks, for this week we know there are some Thanksgiving Day games, so get your starting lineups into the commissioner by kickoff Thursday. All the byes are over in the NFL, so all players are eligible.

Have a great last week of the UMFL regular season!!!!!

-The Commissioner

Week 10

Hey All,

What a great week it was in the NFL! It was another awesome week in the UMFL too.
Let's take a look at the playoff picture in the UMFL.

Western Conference
Pacific Division: The Little Flowers of Jesus control their own destiny. If They win the last two games and they are the division champs. The same goes for The Quite Smashing Pumpkins. However, the Piranhas need help. they need two win out and hope the Pumpkins to go 1-1 and that the Flowers lose their last two games in order to win the division.

Midwest Division: This week's game between the Cunning Old Guys and the Mighty Birnkrandt Moose could decide the division. If the Old Guys win, they would claim the division title by virtue of their season sweep of the Moose. If the Moose win, then a scenario where the division crown is decided by the fourth tie-breaker could happen.

Eastern Conference
Southern Division: The Avalon Aces control their own destiny. If they win their last two games, they will win the division. The K. Kiwis need to win their last two games and have the Aces go 1-1 in their final two to win.

Atlantic Division: The Thunder Mountain Lightning controls their own destiny. If they win the last two games they win the division. The Caps need to win the last two games of the season and have the Lightning go 1-1 down the stretch in oreder to claim the crown

Okay folks, the byes in the NFL are done. There are no byes this week, but there is another Thursday night game. So please get those rosters in by Thursday night.

-Have a great week!
-The Commissioner

Week 9

Hey All,

It was another great week in the NFL!!! Carson Palmer was nails against the Baltimore Defense, the Cowboys are looking good, and The Steeler defense is still awesome!


Here's five quick notes about the UMFL...

1. Vince Young comes in at QB and suddenly Tennessee has won two in a row. I can't stand Vince Young, but the team is playing better with him at QB.

2. The Colts are just a tough, tough team. Peyton Manning is just clutch.

3. The Patriots are really starting to take off again. It could get scary.

4. This just in... the Chicago Bears stink. Boy, the Cutler trade is looking worse and worse all the time for Chicago.

5. You always remember the games played in November. The last three weeks of the UMFL regular season will be huge!!! The races are tight in all four divisions. You will all receive an e-mail outlining the league's tie-breaking procedures.

BIG NOTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE IS AN NFL GAME ON THURSDAY THE 12TH!!!! ALL ROSTERS MUST BE IN FOR THIS WEEK BY THURSDAY AT 5:00 PM PST!!!!!

Byes: The Giants and the Texans are off this week. So plan your rosters accordingly.

Have a great week!!!!
-The Commissioner

Week 8

Hey All,

What a week it was in the NFL! The Cowboys are on a roll after whipping Seattle, Tennessee finally got a win, and the Rams actually got a win too. What's next, Al Davis starts adapting his team to a modern game plan?


Here's five quick notes on the UMFL...

1. Miles Austin has become the number one wideout in Dallas. Wonder what Terrell Owens thinks about that?

2. If you get a chance, check out the bootleg run that Mark Sanchez scored on against Miami. He carried out his fake so well, the Dolphins were digging at the bottom of the pile looking for a ball that wasn't there.

3. Eric Mangini's days are numbered in Cleveland. That's really a good thing for him. Would anybody really like to live in Cleveland for the longterm?

4. The 49er defense did something I hadn't seen in awhile. They sacked Peyton Manning three times and didn't allow a TD pass. The Niners have a strong upside for 2010.

5. Bret Favre is still a football god.

Bye Weeks: Buffalo, Cleveland, Oakland, St. Louis, Minnesota, and the New York Jets.
Please get your roster changes into me by Saturday night.

Note: A lot of people forgot about their defense change for the week with Pittsburgh being off. So, I gave everyone the Baltimore defense by default.

Have a great week!!!!
