THE WEEK THAT WAS
Since we went to a 10 week season in DFC XIV, we've never had an undefeated week, though we've had a dozen or so 9-1 weeks.  This week, however, that all changed because we had not one, but two three 10-0 weeks... and via tiebreak, Lori "Sunshine" Beirne gets the first ever weekly win with a 10-0 record, the eighth of her career and first since last season's Week 4 win.

Coming in 2nd, undefeated but a few points off, Mark "The Mighty" Gainey also gets a 10-0 record for the week, but not the weekly win.

A tie for 3rd place find Lt Dan Sellers and DMOsborne both at 9-1, while Remodeling Clay Shaver gets 5th at 9-1.  Justin Harrison is in 6th and tied for 7th is Drew "Slash" Morris and James "The Win Maker" Hawbaker, all at 9-1.

In 9th place, young Mitchell Pinkerton goes 8-2, and Tommy McLeod takes 10th place at 8-2.

Also finishing:
8-2: Trey "The Answer" Cartledge... Hurricane Rhett Barnett... Brad "The Lawdawg" Latta... The Defending DFC Champion Steven Ray... Matty Pinky... Zack "The Attack"  Graves... Jonathan Osborne
7-3: Justin Glenn... Bronson Kilgore... Mikey Nipp... Big Eddy Mac... Braddy Pinky... Tad "The Dynasty" Roose... Tyler "The Sexy Beast" Campbell... The Big Wasyluka... Michael "The Rookie" Ferris... Matt "Scientist" Halpert
6-4: Jenny Ernst... Brad Ashby... Sarah Hasha... Yours Truly... Daniel Powell... Tommy Johnson... Grandy Latta... Marky Mark Warner... The Croyle...
5-5:  Pinky Pinkerton... Drew "The Grassman" Warren... Eddy Jr... Young Garrett Cheney

THE WEEK THAT WAS
Last season, DFC XV, was the first time in DFC history that there wasn't anyone who won multiple weeks in the season.  And for now, that's an anomaly, as Jonathan Osborne has won his 2nd week of the year, going 7-1.

There was a 4 way tie for 2nd place, with Brad Latta, Mark Gainey, Lori Beirne and Matt Pinkerton all getting a 6-2 record.  Another tie, this time for 6th, goes to Tommy McLeod and Tad Roose, while Eddy McBroom Jr gets 8th at 5-3.  Still another tie, this time to round out the Top 10, for 9th place goes to Justin Glenn and Bronson Kilgore, both at 5-3.

Also Finishing:
5-3: Jeni Ernst... Mitch Pinkerton... Grandy Latta... The Big Wasyluka... Big Eddy... Drew "Slash" Morris... Tom Johnson... Braddy Pinky... Matt "Scientist" Halpert... Trey "The Answer" Cartledge... Remodeling Clay Shaver... Hurricane Rhett Barnett... Lt Dan... Yours Truly... Rookie Mike Ferris...
4-4: Tyler "Sexy Beast" Campbell... Sarah Hasha... James "The Playoff Maker" Hawbaker... Defending DFC Champion Steven Ray... DMO... Mikey Nipp... Drew "The Grassman" Warren... Danny Powell... Zack "The Attack" Graves
3-5: The Croyle... Justin Harrison...
2-6: Brad Ashby... Young Garrett... Jacob Pinky... Marky Mark Warner

Out for the season... Mike Beirne has to step away for the season due to other obligations. He finishes at 39-29, which will go into his overall record.  Good luck Mike, and we'll see you in DFC XVII!

LIES, DARN LIES & STATISTICS

• The Streak, the .500 one has reached a feverous pitch.  Matt Halpert & Gary Eubanks have been tied for 2nd for a long time, now Rhett Barnett equals that, going 24 weeks with at least .500 or more.  His last losing week came in Week 4 of DFC XIV in 2013.  
• Yours Truly, however, is right behind Rhett, with the current 3rd longest streak of all time, at 23 weeks.  I hadn't actually noticed until just now... rock on. 
• Clay Shaver has the 3rd longest streak, currently at 18 weeks, which puts him tied with Gina Roose and Jonathan Osborne for the 7th longest streak of all time.  It's also important to note that the longest .500 streak to begin a career was Gary Eubanks at 24 weeks.  Clay is 7 weeks away from equaling that--he's in his second season and he's never had a losing record.
• As far as the .500+ streak, Drew Morris has the lead, with 9 weeks.  
• Along with Matt Hapert, Drew Morris also has the current longest consecutive playoff streak, with 4 straight seasons--Drew is on track to get his 5th this year, while Matt may struggle to make it this year. 
• Mark Gainey has the longest career streak, making the postseason from DFC III to DFC X, 8 straight years.
• Michael Nipp has the longest playoff drought, last making the postseason in DFC V in 2004, while DMOsborne made it in DFC VI in 2005.  Justin Glenn also last made the playoffs in DFC VI, but was missing for a few seasons in the middle.

THE WEEK THAT WAS
Tad Roose garnered the nickname "The Dynasty" because he's the only three time DFC Champion, winning DFC II, IV and VII, as well as owning the monster streak of 45 weeks of .500 or up.  And he won DeuceBowl IV with a perfect 8-0 record... but times have been tough for Tad "The Dynasty" Roose, making the playoffs just twice in 7 seasons--and a remarkable 104 weeks with nary a weekly victory.. until this week.  Not saying Tad "The Dynasty" is back, but it's a start.  Tad wins it with an 8-2 record, edging out Bronson Kilgore, who has really come on strong lately, also finishing 8-2.

The week was tough on many, but Clay Shaver survived and took 3rd at 7-3, while Matt Pinkerton and The Big Wasyluka tied for 4th.  Lt Dan Sellers gets 6th and DMOsborne takes 7th, all at 7-3.

In 8th place, Jonathan Osborne goes 6-4, while Chris Croyle takes 9th, and tied for 10th place, Drew Morris, and Beirnes of both persuasions, Lori & Mike.

Also finishing:
6-4: Brad Latta... Mark Gainey... Garrett Cheney... Mikey Nipp'
5-5: Brad Ashby... Zack Graves... Yours Truly... Rhett Barnett... Drew Warren... Big Eddy... Smaller Eddy.. Tom Johnson... Randy Latta... Justin Harrison & Glenn... Sarah Hasha... Pinkertons Brad, Jacob & Mitchell... Mike Ferris... Tommy McLeod... Tyler Campbell...
4-6: Matt Halpert... Jennifer Ernst... Mark Warner... Steven Ray... Trey Cartledge... James Hawbaker... Daniel Powell

The season is officially 1/2 over... what.  I find myself wondering how in the world this has happened so stinkin fast, but here we are... 58 games down, 38 games to go!!

THE WEEK THAT WAS
Every year we have a rookie that comes up and wins a week outta nowhere, and this year is no different.  Of course, its our only rookie this season, but Michael Ferris, the son-in-law of Big Eddy McBroom, goes 7-1 and gets the first weekly win of his career.

Coming in 2nd is a tie, as Matthew Pinkerton and Mark "The Mighty" Gainey both go 7-1, while Daniel Powell gets 4th place and DMOsborne & Eddy Jr tie for 5th.  In 7th is Bronson Kilgore, 8th is Drew Morris -- they all go 7-1.

With a 6-2 record in 9th is Matt Halpert, and an unprecedented FIVE way tie for 10th place... rounding out the top ten altogether is Trey Cartledge, Bradley Pinkerton, Mike Beirne, Lori Beirne and Randy Latta.
