Congrats to Robert for pulling off the rare double this year by winning both the Baseball and Football leagues for 2011!

At this time The Commissioner would like to thank everyone for making this another great season in the UMFL. It's fun to run the league and have everyone cheering for their guys each Sunday. So, I hope to have you all back in the league in 2012.

National Conference Championship Game:

Hey All,

Here's the scores...

Playoffs: How the divisions went down...

Western Division

America's Team claimed the division crown with their win over The Queen's Rejects.

Northern Division

Crusading College Apps win it due to their win over the Creek Trail Burros. So, just how close did this race get? If Dallas PK Dan Bailey makes the kick to send the Dallas-New York game to overtime, then the Creek Trail Burros would have won the division.

Southern Division

The Penthouse Penguins take this division with the league's best record at 11-3. The hard luck losers in this division are the Bayou Breesers. The Commissioner's team will sit home for the playoffs with their 10-4 record.

Eastern Division

The Huchuca Chuakrs beat The Flames yesterday and claim the division crown via tie-breaker. Both teams finish the season with 8-6 records, but the Chuakars get the nod because they swept both games from The Flames in the regular season.

NOTE TO THE PLAYOFF TEAMS: Get those rosters in for this week on time, please!

Thanks to all for playing another season in the UMFL!!!!! It's always a blast to run the league.

Have a great week!!!

Week 1

Hey All,

Week one has come and gone in the National Football League. There were some pretty wild games. There were also some great performances. Here's this week's results...

Thunder Mountain Lightning 72- Gryffindor Seekers 69

The Queen's Rejects 119- America's Team 85

Crusading College Apps 91- Creek Trail Burros 75

Canoga Lakes Capitalists 100- Global Benchwarmers 90

Penthouse Penguins 97- Tax Dodgers 78

Hiachuca Chukars 106- The Flames 77

HB Blue Devil Wannabes 72- Outlaws 70

Needless to say , but Tom Brady's 517 yards passing and 4 TDs sure as heck made an impact on some games. However, there were also negative impacts from Arian Foster not playing in Houston and Nate Kaeding getting knocked out on the opening kickoff in San Diego. Those starters earned zero points and that was huge.

Okay all, get those starting lineups in to me for this week by Sunday morning at 10:00 AM

Have a great week!

The Rules- 2011

Hey All,

As a new class of greats heads into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and NFL squads are busting their butts in training camp with the lockout now over, It's time for us armchair GMs to get ready for the fourth season of the UMFL. So, without further ado...

Here are the League Rules:

1. Draft? There is no draft. Each owner will send me a roster and team name before 9-7-2011.

2. Roster Makeup: Each roster will look as follows...

2 QBs

3 RBs

3 WR/TEs

2 K

2 Defenses (Yes, you will pick two full defenses I.E. the Cowboys and the Jaguars defenses)

3. Starting Lineup: Each owner will submit a starting lineup for each game. Your lineup will consist of players from your roster will look as folllows

1 QB

2 RBs

2 WR/TEs

1 K

1 Defense

4. Scoring: QBs: QBs are awarded 1 point for every 20 yards gained passing and 1 point for every 10 yards gained rushing. All TDs scored bi air or ground count as 6 points each. I will use common rounding off procedures for point calculation.

ex. QB-A throws for 213 yards, runs for 24 yards and throws for 3 TDS. QB-A will have had a 31 point day. (213 P-Yds =11 pts. +24 R-yds.= 2 pts. +3TDs = 18 pts.)

RBs + WR/TEs: they get 1 point for every 10 yards rushing, 1 point for every 10 yards receiving and 6 points for each TD scored. Oh, and if they happen to throw the ball, they will get 1 point for every 20 yards passing.

K: Each PAT is worth one point and each FG is worth 3 points. Oh, and if they handle the ball at all they will be credited for their efforts exactly like the position players.

Defense: Each defensive unit earns points in this manner. Each sack is worth 2 points, each turnover is worth 3 points and each TD is worth 6 points.

Note: All kickoff and punt returns for a TD will only be counted if that player is in your starting lineup that week.

5. Bye Weeks: hopefully you will put a roster together that will take bye weeks into account. If you don't, you can use any other player to sub for the bye week affected player.

6. Roster Moves: You only get three, yes just three roster moves because a player is lousy. So pick wisely. Also, remember any player can be subbed for who is injured without it counting against your three roster moves.

7. Playoff Structure: Don't know yet. I'll see what works best after I get all the league signups.

8 Have Fun!!!

-The Commissioner
