FYI... We all send our prayers and love to Justin Fisher and his wife Kelly, as their newborn Will struggles with an illness keeping him in the hospital, and JustFish and KellFish struggle with daily hospital food. We're thinking about you, brotha.
The Week That Was
Just as the season is beginning to tighten, playoff races heating up, and haves and have nots are separating themselves, in walks Jason Barnette (is there an "e" there?), having an undefeated week (while archrival Tebe Shaw fails to even show up this week). Its good enough for him to claim the first weekly win of his three season career.
And then it gets really crazy. Finishing a clean 2nd is Jonathan Lenning, at 7-1, while Hawbaker and Scotty Latta tie for 3rd at 7-1.
In 5th, still staking his claim for rookie of the year Bradley Pinkerton goes 6-2, while 2nd year guy Clif Render, trying to salvage his season, ties Pinky for 5th. In 7th, The Spawn of Wookiee and DMOsborne tie at 6-2, and getting 9th all by his lonesome, Trey Cartledge, also at 6-2.
Rounding out the Weekly Top Ten, another tie, this time a three-way, between Young Garret Cheney (making a very rare appearance), archrival Tyler Campbell and Lori Sunshine, all at 6-2.
Also Finishing:
6-2: Sarah Hasha, Jason Turnbow, Gina Roose
5-3: Matta Latta, JustFish, Joey Thornell, Chris Croyle, Jason Duren, Tad Roose, Ryan Sherman, Eddy Jr, Tommy Mac, Jenn Ersnt, Tom Johnson, Eddy Mac Bee, Zack Graves, Mackey, Matt Halpert, The Mightbe Gainey
4-4: Jon Osborne, J Roberts, Yours Truly, Daniel Powell
3-5: The Big Wasyluka, Mikey Nipp
0-8: Tebershaw

In This Week's Lies, Darn Lies & Statistics...
- The playoffs are quickly approaching, and Drew Morris is currently the king of the postseason charts. His 80-35 record not only far surpasses Mark Gainey's #2 record of 61-36, Drew also has the most playoff games to his credit.
- Big Daddy Wookiee is third with a 55-24 record, while three time world champion Tad Roose is 4th, at 54-27. In 5th is Big Eddy McBroom, despite not making the postseason since DFC V, with a great 50-22 mark.
- I mention the top five because it looks like they'll remain where they are. Drew, Gainey and Tad are not locks for the postseason, and while Eddy Mac has a decent shot, he'd need a good week in Wild Card Weekend to tie for 4th.
- Most likely to make a splash in the Top 5? Jennifer Ersnt, who is in a great postseason position, has 48 playoff wins and 24 losses, just slightly ahead of Matt Latta, who has 48 wins and 25 losses, which is slightly ahead of Yours Truly, with 47 wins and 25 losses.
- Drew Morris is also tied with The Mighty Gainey for another postseason record, as in, most appearances. Drew and Mark have both been in 6 times, though Drew did it in 7 years, and Mark did it 6 straight times. Mark holds the current best streak, though Tommy Mac and Matt Latta are both likely to make it in for their fourth straight season.
- Matt Latta now owns the .500+ record to his very own. He last had a week below 5-3 during Week 7 of DFC VIII, and for 13 weeks, its been 5-3 or better. Congrats.
- Who's got the current 4-4 or better streak? That would be a tie between Jonathan Osborne and Trey Cartledge, both at 15. Until they reach 20 or more, though, we'll leave it at that.
- For the rookies, a 50 win season seems to be a good indicator of success. Its pretty attainable, though, as most rookies do... Bradley Pinkerton seems like he's gonna shoot past that quickly, as he's at 40 now, while Chris Croyle may have more struggles, 4 games back at 36 wins.
- Lots of "century" marks passed this week... Matt Halpert crosses 100 midway through his sophomore season, which has got to be close to a record, while Barney's undefeated week puts him at 205 wins lifetime--ahead of the pack of the DFC VI rookies, a class that included Tebershaw, James Hawbaker, Gina Roose and Ryan Sherman. FYI, Gina and Tebe also passed 200 this weekend.
- Ryan Sherman is sitting at 198, and James Hawbaker at 193.
- Jason Duren gets past 300 wins lifetime, and while no one hit 400 so far this weekend, Jennifer Ernst crossed 500 regular season wins.
- Adding in All Time Wins (including playoffs), Tad Roose and Tommy McLeod become 500 Members, with 500 and 503 respectively.
- Who's got a division title, you ask? Well, here's the quick rundown... In DFC I, there were no divisions, just 11 players, which Shawn Sharp went wire-to-wire #1, through the championship.
- In DFC II, DMOsborne (North), Tommy (West), Tad Roose (East) and Wookiee (Central) were our division winners.
- In DFC III, keeping the same divisions, Justin Glenn took the North, Big Eddy got the West, The (then very)Mighty Gainey won his first East crown by a still-record 12 games over Jon Osborne, and The Big Wasyluka edged out Daniel Powell and Wookiee for the Central Division.
- In DFC IV, keeping it in the family, Eddy Jr won the West, while Gainey took his 2nd East, The Big Wasyluka got his 2nd straight Central and Jennifer Ernst won her first division, the North, by 11 games over Tom Johnson.
- In DFC V, we expanded to six divisions, and realigned. Tom Johnson got his only divisional crown in The North Division, while Justin Glenn's 17.55 TBA edged out Jennifer's 17.82 for the Mid Central Division crown. Drew Morris captured the West, while Gainey's monster 68 win season--still a record--took the East. Lori Smith/Beirne got the South Central, while Mikey Nipp got his first, and only, divisional crown in the South.
- In DFC VI, Matt Latta started his North dominance by winning the division, with a TBA of 11.27, over DMOsborne's 16.64. Tommy McLeod won the MidCentral, with a TBA of 15.73, putting Justin on the losing end, with his 19.91. Drew Morris also edged Jason Duren via TBA, 14.64 to 18.82 for another West crown. Gainey got his 4th straight East title, while Scott Latta broke through into the postseason with the South Central, and Tim Wasyluka again added to his totals in the South.
- In DFC VII, Matt Latta won his 2nd North title, Jennifer Ernst won the Mid Central (in a division where FIVE people made the postseason), and Gary "The Idol" Eubanks took the West. Mark took another East title, while Tad Roose got a South Central, and Daniel Powell won the South.
- Last season, DFC VIII, rookie Matt Halpert won the North, while Tommy captured the Mid Central and eventual champ Drew Morris won the West title. James Hawbaker broke Gainey's divisional streak with an East Division win, and Jon Osborne finally made it to the playoffs with a South Central win. Ryan Sherman also got his first division title in the South, the only one of 7 people in that division to make the postseason.
- All that other stuff I listed? I'll talk about it next week. This was quite long.
