THE WEEK THAT WAS
He's a DFC Original, but that doesn't necessarily translate into success overall... Big Tom Johnson hasn't made the playoffs since DFC XI, in 2010, and only has five weekly wins to his name, the last coming in Week 4 of DFC XXI in 2020.  And this season wasn't a great start either... but he's managed to come on strong as of late, and although he's likely going to miss the postseason again, Big Tom rolls with a 9-1 record this week, a week that proved to be very hard for lots of people.

Trying to solidify his bid for the Hasha MVP Trophy, Roth from Wyoming goes 8-2 for 2nd this week, while spots 3 thru 8 in the Top 10 finish up with 7-3 records...

That being Daniel "The Engineer" Powell in 3rd, DMOsborne in 4th, Lt Dan "Magic Legs" Sellers taking 5th, Drew "the Grassman" Warren in 6th, Tyler "The Self Proclaimed Sexy Beast of the DFC" Campbell in 7th, Mitchy "Pinky the Younger" Pinky in 8th.

With 6-4, Garrison "The Pride of Tallulah Falls" Ryfun gets 9th, and rounding out the top 10, it's Mark "The Mighty" Gainey at 6-4.

Also Finishing
6-4: Yours Truly... Tad "The Dynasty" Roose... Aussie Nate Johnston... Jenny Ernst... Steven "The Principle" Ray... Jacob "Pinky the Pinky" Pinky... Eddy Mc Jr... Young Garrett Cheney... 

5-5: Trey "The Answer" Cartledge... Tommy "The Highlander" McLeod... Big Eddy McB... Bradley "Pinky the Wiser" Pinky... Hurricane Rhett... Matty "Pinky the Elder" Pinky... David "What tha" Tuck... Melissa "The Chef" Reagan 

4-6: Zack "The Attack" Graves... Drew // Morris... James "The Playoff Maker" Hawbaker... Chris "YO TEACH" Croyle... Jonny "Oz" Osborne...

3-7: Mikey "High" Nipp... Matt "The Coca Cola Cowboy" Mink... The Big Wasyluka... Coach DiBello

THE WEEK THAT WAS
The only other time I can remember going undefeated, I still finished 2nd to someone who also went undefeated (maybe... DMOsborne? maybe Mark Gainey?) and had a better TB.  This week?  NOPE!  Yours Truly takes the weekly win with a 10-0 mark! (does D-Generation X Crotch Chop)

THE STANDINGS
The TieBreak Average (TBA) is now a part of the standings. Your TB score from week to week is how far apart your TB guesses are from the actual total number of points scored in the selected game. Those numbers are added and divided by weeks of season - beginning in Week 5, your worst TB performance is dropped. If you have an even worse TB score in the coming weeks, that one will be dropped and the previous sucky week's number will be added back in. The only instance in which the worst TB number will be added back in will be to break a season-ending tie for divisional championship or playoff seeding. All further questions can be directed to DFC Admin.

LIES, DARN LIES & STATISTICS

• First, let's talk streaks... .500 or better.  Drew Morris is still going, with 23 weeks of .500 or better - in fact, he hasn't had a losing week since Week 2 of DFC XXII (Sept 2021), a season in which he went on to take his 2nd DFC Championship.  
  
• Both Steven "The Principal" Ray's and Mark "The Mighty" Gainey's streak just hit 20, with both gents last having losing weeks in Week 5 of DFC XXII 
• Yours Truly just passed 15 weeks, while Zack "The Attack" Graves just hit 13 weeks at .500 or better
• Looking at .501 or better (a winning week) streak, Matty "Pinky the Elder" Pinky is currently at 7 weeks, while both Steven Ray and Zack Graves have started their season each week over .500, so they are at 5 weeks
• Another interesting stat I looked at for this segment was Top 25 All Time (regular season and playoffs)... while only one retired DFC'er remains in the All Time Top 20 - DFC X Champion Lori "Sunshine" Beirne at 15th all time -  there are still four retired DFC'ers in the Top 25: Matt Latta (22nd), Brad "Lawdawg" Latta (23rd), and Matt "The Mad Scientist" Halpert (24th). 
• I mention this because Hurricane Rhett just leaped over Scotty Latta for 25th all time.  While Rhett needs only 17 more wins this year to leap both Brad and Halpert, he's only at 863 all time wins, while Matt has 904.  So it would be tough to get there this year, but he'll undoubtedly will do it.
• With Rhett likely to get 24th in the coming weeks, that means the threshold for being in the Top 25 All Time will be Matt Halpert's 876 wins -- next closest is Lt Dan "Magic Legs" Sellers, currently at 822 wins, and Chris "YO TEACH" Croyle, who just got to 800 all time wins. 
• As far as the Top 20 All Time, Young Garrett Cheney sits at 20th with 963. In 21st is Steven "The Principal" Ray with 950, but what's remarkable about that is Garrett's rookie season was DFC V... and Steven's was DFC X, a full five seasons later. 
• James "The Prediction Maker" Hawbaker is 16th all time, with 1114 wins, so catching Lori Beirne's 1152 win record might be tougher this year, but if he returns for DFC25, he'll easily do it. 
• That's all. Kbye.
