Alright folks, summertime is over. At least in ye old Commish’s eyes. Getting excited about mowing the yard, but quickly remembering after a couple of times that it actually sucks and I’m ready for fall — √ Going to the movies to see the movie about meteorologists and D-Day (yes, I’m one of those people)…
Fortifying the SPFL’s Legacy
In 1999, I was living in Manassas, VA and had recently accepted a new job in Fairfax, VA, after working in downtown DC for nearly two years. The 90 minute train commute proved to be too much with a newborn daughter, so I opted for a 15-90 minute (depending on the day’s traffic report) white…
The Off Season Improvement Plan
Buckle up, SPFLers … Ye old commish has been hard at work this offseason. (Check out those Post It tabs on the side). I’m cooking up some changes that are going to take our league to the next level. Is everybody “in” for this season? Stay tuned, more to come soon.
SPFL Championship 2025
Much like the NFL, the SPFL did not disappoint this year (well, some of you are disappointed…) What a final weekend we had. Not only was the third place game a nail biter, the SPFL Super Bowl, was absolutely down to the wire on the final Monday night game of the season. In the end,…
SPFL Semifinals 2025
Well, sometimes things go as expected … and sometimes they don’t! At all! Our 2025 SPFL Final Four saw one mammoth upset, and in rip roaring fashion I might add, and another was a heavyweight battle until late Monday night. This will be an abbreviated blog post since it’s Christmas Eve and I need to…
Wild Card Round 2025
It’s that weird end of the week before Christmas in the SPFL Home offices and on campus. Nobody knows what day it is. Calendars are getting filled up for … “next year” … productivity is in the eye of the beholder. Email replies are “let’s circle back to that in January”. Mentally checked out, physically…
Regular Season Wrapup
As I said last week, Mrs. Commish and I were out of town for the weekend. My football watching was limited to what my bad eyes could see on an iPad as our room at the inn where we were staying was not adorned with a television. So, on Thursday night, on a 9″ screen,…
Week 13.25
Hey folks. My apologies for no article last week. I really planned to put one out on Wednesday, but we ended up babysitting all four grands (7 years of age and under) and I didn’t have the energy or the brain capacity afterwards to tackle it. And the two oldest made it a sleepover, so…
Week 11.25
I’ve gotta jump right into the SPFL this week because this year is shaping up to be a very unique season. With three games left in the regular season, we SEEM to have two team races in each division for that precious week one bye in the playoffs, which also SEEMS to have the two…
Week 10.25
Okay, so it seems to me that the SPFL is shaping up to be a four team race for the big kahuna … with a couple of potential spoilers meandering around the standings, such as Heath’s Heroes, the Piranha Brothers, and, winners of two of their last three games — the Mighty Moops of Mayberry!!!…
