Its only happened five times out of 94 possible regular season weeks, and here's the fifth... James Hawbaker takes his 3rd week of the season, while sharing the weekly win with Ken Mackey, who gets his first weekly win of his 2 year career.

Lies, Darn Lies & Statistics

  • The postseason is here, if you can believe it, and it looks as though Jonathan Osborne might get the playoff monkey off his back. Its been said before how he's long held the record for longest career without a postseason appearance (currently at 83 regular season weeks--will be 84 at season's end), so who's next if Jon doesn't have that record anymore?
  • That would be Sarah Hasha and Jason Demastus, but you truly have to give the nod to Sarah, who has turned in games every week, while Demastus has been known to miss a few from time to time. By the end of the season, she'll have completed 72 weeks with nary a playoff game decided. After her, it falls to Tyler Campbell and Garrett Cheney, with 60 weeks.
  • The DFC Triple Crown would be winning the College, Pro and TBA titles, and has never been done. Drew Morris has a shot at it this year, though, appearing the top five of each of the major catagories. This would almost certainly guarantee him an MVP title
  • Who's up for MVP this year? You gotta think Jon Osborne first, but he's slacked off in a last few weeks since spending 5 straight weeks at the top. Drew Morris has the best record (so far), while both Matt Halpert, Jason Duren and Ryan Sherman all have equal records to Osbornes, though neither Ryan nor Matt have seen #1 yet.
  • Rookie of the Year comes down to two: Matt Halpert, coasting to a North Division title, and Clif Render, who looks close to getting an East Division title and breaking Gainey's five year streak.
  • The Osborne Award, named for David Mark Osborne, is typically the best player to NOT make the postseason, sort of like the NIT winner being the 66th best team in the country, so the OA winner would be the 17th best in the league. Potential winners this year include Mark Gainey, Jennifer Ernst, Lori Beirne, Barney and possibly Yours Truly, though I'm leaning towards Tom Johnson, who missed a week and still managed to storm back to almost make the postseason--though it would absolutely take a miracle to do so.
  • I'll be in Disney World for over a week starting Friday, so more than likely, you'll see few, if not zero, LDL&S next week during Week 12 results, breaking a tradition that has been in every result email since... well, since I've been sending out results emails. At least DFC III or so. Hope you'll survive.
