Week 15

Hey All,

WE HAVE A CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The T3SNBN defeated the Thunder Mountain Lightning, 61-55 to claim the 2010 UMFL crown!!!!!

It wasn't a pretty matchup. A lot of the players on both sides had unproductive weeks and Adrian Peterson's failure to play on Monday night didn't help. However, they can start the victory parade in Huntington Beach.

I want to thank everyone for playing in this year's league. It was fun. Oh, and as always, you can email me with any suggestions to help the UMFL run better in 2011.

Have a great offseason,
-The Commissioner

Week 14

Hey All,

The Conference Championship Games are in the books. Here's the results:

T3SNBN 91- Canoga Lakes Capitalists 85
Thunder Mountain Lightning 83- Little Flowers of Jesus 76

The UMFL Championship Game is set. T3SNBN v. Thunder Mountain Lightning. It should be a good one. Congrats to Pam and Liza for getting this far.

Since, I was probably the only one in the league to actually watch Brett Favre not play against the Giants on Monday night. Here's a couple of weird stats about the game...

With this game being moved from Minnesota to Detroit, it means that Favre's streak of 297 games started ended in Detroit. Lou Gehrig's streak of 2,130 consecutive games played also ended in Detroit.

Brett Favre wears number 4. Lou Gehrig wore number 4.

This was the first game played on Monday night at Detroit's Ford Field. Too bad the Lions didn't play.

Okay, starting lineups for the UMFL Championship Game are due by 5:00 PM Thursday, PST.

Have a great week, folks.
-The Commissioner

Now, the final four owners need to get their starting lineups into me by Thursday night at 5:00PM PST.

Now, for a sad note. This past Sunday, Don Meredith died. He was a two-time All-American QB at SMU who became the face of the Dallas Cowboys in the 1960s. Then, he was the funniest and most loved member of a Monday Night Football announce team that by which all others are measured. As a kid who grew up with Monday Night Football, I will always hold a special place in my heart for Dandy Don. I'm truly sad, that it was Don's time to turn out the lights.

Have a great week, folks.
-The Commissioner
