LIES, DARN LIES, & STATISTICS
"There are three types of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics" - Mark Twain, probably 

• And here comes the part of the show where I throw a bunch of historical numbers at you -- all of them are true, based on 24 years of DFC stats
• Let's start with the update on All Time Win records... Your top ten regular season wins.. I'm proud to say that Yours Truly (1347) takes the top spot, followed by Tommy "The Highlander" McLeod (1307) in 2nd place, and Drew // Morris (1298) in third.  Jennifer Ernst (1296) is in fourth (surpassed by Drew just this very week), while Big Eddy McB (1290) is close behind in 5th.  In sixth place, Jonathan Osborne (1271), while two time champ Mark "The Mighty" Gainey (1265) is close in 7th place.  In eighth is DMOsborne (1252), and crazily enough, there is a tie for ninth with Tad "The Dynasty" Roose and Lil Eddy McB Jr, both at 1229 wins all time. 
• Now, lets add in the playoff wins to give an actual "ALL TIME WINS EVER" Top ten... It is similar to the regular season wins, again with Yours Truly (1498) on top -- doesn't mean I'm great, just consistently slightly above average -- and Drew // Morris (1477) in 2nd, and Big Eddy McB (1465) in 3rd. Mark "The Mighty" Gainey (1437) is in 4th, while Tommy "The Highlander" McLeod has just crossed the 1400 mark and is at 1406.  In 6th, Jenni Ernst (1392) and in 7th, Tad "The Dynasty" Roose (1348), and 8th, Jonny Oz (1345). Rounding out the Top Ten, DMOsborne (1307) and Lil Eddy Jr (1279)
• Milestones! Going back to All Time Regular Season Wins, James "The Prediction Maker" Hawbaker sits at 994 wins, so with mathing, a good week this week puts him at 1000 lifetime
• Tyler "The Self Proclaimed Sexy Beast of the DFC" Campbell -- which by the way, was an actual proclamation made by said Tyler -- is up next with 950 wins, though it might next season, and it will certainly be next year for Sorta Young Garrett Cheney, with 944 wins, and Trey "The Answer" Cartledge at 938
• Hurricane Rhett Barnett is getting close to 800, with 781 wins all time, and Bradley "Pinky the Wiser" Pinky is close to 700, with 694 wins lifetime, while Mitchell "Pinky the Younger" Pinky is at 478, a few weeks from 500
• Congrats to David Tuck for getting over the 200 wins mark! 
• And now we get to one of my fave records -- I call it the "DiMaggio Streak" -- which is consecutive weeks of .500 or better. The record is held by the aforementioned Tad Roose, who early in his career reeled off 45 streak weeks. Your current streaks are held by Drew Morris (19 weeks)... Steven Ray (16 weeks)... Mark Gainey (15 weeks)... 
• And then there is the +.500 streak... meaning consecutive weeks above .500, which is much harder.  That record is held by DFC Hall of Famer Matt "The Great Bear of the North" Latta, who pulled off 15 straight weeks.  It's an incredibly hard record to break - James Hawbaker has the biggest streak as of now, only at 8 weeks.
