The Week That Was
It took four DFC Seasons to do it, but Ty Coffey has captured his first weekly win with a 7-1 weekend record. With a NYGiants win on Monday, Drew would have become only the 5th person to ever get 5 career wins--but Chicago won handily, giving it to the Reverend.

Matt Latta takes 2nd, Tim Wasyluka and Tom Johnson tie for 3rd, and Tebe Shaw takes 5th, all at 6-2. Jason Demastus gets 6th, at 6-2, while Tyler "DFC's Sexy Beast" Campbell is in 7th at 5-3.

In 8th is Drew Morris, while Big and Little Eddy McBroom tie for 9th, all at 5-3.

Lies, Darn Lies & Statistics

• I misspoke. Tad Roose did not go 3-5 last week, he went 4-4. Couple that with his 5-3 this past weekend, and he's at 43 weeks now with a 4-4 or better record. He also owns another record, a little more dubious... in DFC III, when he was the defending DFC Champion, he managed to grab 7, count 'em, SEVEN losing records, as in, 3-5 or worse, en route to a 45-51 season.
• That record could be tied this weekend though... Young Garrett Cheney has 6 losing records this year. He's got one more weekend to tie Tad's record for futility in a year.
• With only 8 games left, Jennifer Ersnt has assured herself a 4th season ending at #1 in all time wins. At 399 regular season wins, its likely she'll be the first to reach 400, and with Yours Truly at #2 with 389, she'll be the only to reach 400 this season.
• In the competition between DFC V rookies, Tyler and Garrett finally have the exact same lifetime records--154-126. This is big because its taken 2 full seasons to make up the 18 game gap left at the end of DFC V. Tyler has already passed Garrett in NFL wins, and is 2 games back in college games.
• Tebe's season keeps getting better--he becomes the first DFC Sophomore (rookie last year) to pass Gina Williams in wins. If you add 2 wins each to his disasterous back-to-back 2-6 weeks early this year, making him 4-4 in those weeks, he not only has a 3 game lead on Jennifer for the divisin title, but he's also #1 in the DFC Power Poll, almost guaranteed a first round bye and probably would win the MVP title that Tad Roose is about to win.
• Matt Latta has 399 career wins (regular + playoffs), and is 1 away from 400, while a really good week would boost Eddy McBroom's 394 wins to that elusive 400.
• With Tad's great season, Michael Nipp becomes the first Original DFC'er to fall out of the Top Ten in Career Wins. He, Tommy and Tad all have 378 victories, but their losses differ, of which Michael has the most.
• Unless I stage some sort of massive miracle, Jennifer will also finish another season ahead in College wins.
• Scott Latta (199) and Jon Osborne (198) are likely to get to 200 college wins this weekend.
• Though he spent, what, one week at #2, Tom Johnson will finish the fifth straight year atop the NFL wins list.
• Since his retirement two seasons ago, DFC Hall of Famer Wookiee Fulaytar has seen his all time wins and averages fall one by one as those in the league accumulate wins and losses year by year. One catagory he's managed to hold onto, though, has been all time playoff wins, with 55.
• Until this year. Drew Morris has 53 career playoff wins, and is one good wild card weekend away from becoming the all-time playoff winner.
• Of those with at least 15 playoff games to speak of, only three people have a 70% or better winning percentage: 1) Tad Roose, 72.9%... 2) David Mark Osborne, 72.5%... 3) Drew Morris, 70.7%
• Who has the most playoff appearances? Mark Gainey has been there for what is about to be his 5th straight time, while Yours Truly is hopefully headed for my 4th straight appearance, 5th overall. Justin Glenn also has 4 straight appearances and overall, but will see that end due to his earlier retirement.
