Week Twelve in the SPFL was almost a full slate of outstanding team scores and down to the wire slugfests as the postseason picture becomes ever more clear. The Piranha Brothers (12-0) have clinched the Tommy Boy title, the overall #1 seed and are only two games away from the first perfect season in SPFL…

I’m posting a little early this week as I hope to be neck deep in pumpkin pie come Thursday afternoon. We have our first two asterisks in the divisional standings as the Piranha Brothers (11-0) and the Bright 1s (9-2) both clinched a playoff spot. The Brothers went so far as to wrap up the…

The SI Cover Jinx. The Madden Cover Jinx. The announcer jinxing the place kicker. Henry Bennett. (Any Andy Griffith Show fans in the house besides me?) I nearly joined some select company in almost jinxing the Piranha Brothers last weekend. My apologies to an old friend. I didn’t mean it! Whew, the Brothers dodged a…

There have been some pretty dominating teams in the vaunted history of the SPFL, but I’m not sure we’ve ever had the level of superiority that the Piranha Brothers are demonstrating in 2023. Not only are they 9-0, they’re AVERAGING 166 points per game. I thought maybe CMac’s bye week might be a chink in…

We had a newsworthy week in the SPFL since I last wrote to you all. Let’s look back… Yahoo’s AI was on to something … the Ghost of Megatron erased that ugly “0” in the win column … and put the first “L” in the loss column for the Bright 1s in the process. And…

Yes, it’s hard to believe, but the SPFL regular season is officially half over. Good grief, where does time go? Most of it goes from 8am to 5pm, weekdays. Other than that, it dissipates like a vapor. At least from my side of the world. Anyhoo … the SPFL is looking like a potful of…

I was a little dramatic last week, so I’ll take the pressure off the gas pedal a little this week and focus on the state of the SPFL. And right now, I’ve gotta say, it’s sorta looking like a two team race at this point? Wouldn’t you agree? Perennial contender, the Bright 1s, still sport…

One of the fantasy football guys I follow (and use lots of his memes and his ideas for this blog) closed his post this week asking everyone to stop and take perspective. And not in an accusatory way or one meant to elicit guilt, but just in a way to take stock of how fortunate…

Much like the NFL, things are starting to take on a little shape in the SPFL as well. But remember, as a wise man named Blutarsky once told us, “was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell, no!” And no one is out of it just yet in the SPFL either! Keep pounding…

My apologies for no blog update last week. It was my first week back at work after an extended absence for some surgery and I spent the first half of the week in a fetal position in my office, simply crying and the last half of the week trying to catch up. (And as an…
