It’s usually about this time of year when I get a little ancy and want to write something different than my usual.
Some may recall my sit down with Eli Manning a few years back. Others might recall my threesome with the
Panther’s cheerleaders.
But this year, I’ve already given you two weeks of no recaps. It wouldn’t be fair of me – the guy writing the
article entitled Commish Weekly RECAPS. So I won’t bore you with another of my out of the box ideas. I won’t
waste your time and mine sitting down with TO, Reese Witherspoon, Barry Bonds, Madonna’s newly adopted
African kid, Neil Patrick Harris’ gay lover, Steve Smith, Amanda Kelly, Bob Barker or any of the other great
interviews I had lined up.
But I won’t write a recap either. I just don’t have it in me, and after two pathetic losses in a row, I would rather
not remember. But I will give you this: A statistical and interesting breakdown of our league. Here are some
random comments based on what we have been up to this year, and through the last 60 weeks of football – or
rather 4.6 years worth:
- Lukin is currently leading the league with 36 wins and a .600 win percentage. Watson trails slightly with 35 wins. Navid also
has 35, but that’s his franchise. Personally he only has 28.
- Six teams still have yet to cross into the 30 win category: Yeung, Epstein, Cantor and Sherman are all 2 win’s away, Allocco
will do it in 4, and Serrano in 7.
- Nick Serrano became the final team to cross the 5,000 point mark in Week 7, when his team scored 119.68 points. His
71.45 last week put his lifetime total at 5,086.88 – or 600 points away from the point leader, Navid’s franchise (personally,
he's still 300 points away from crossing 5,000 himself).
- In total, the league has scored over 75,604 points. Half the league is averaging 90 points or more per game. The other
half is averaging 89.99 points or less per game.
- Jason Cantor controls the only team ever to not lose any games in Week 9. This week he get’s Lukin who is 2-2 in Week 9
games. Rich Kiss, meanwhile, has never won a Week 9 game, and plays Sherman who is 1-3 in Week 9 game, but has only
been outscored by 7.54 in those games.
- Four teams have only one winless week on their records. Four teams have only one loss-less week on their records. Josh
Lukin is the only one with multiple weeks: He’s 5-0 in Weeks 1 and 5, and 4-0 in Week 12. He’s also 0-5 in Week 2 and 0-4
in Week 13.
- Chris Brockman has been ridiculously dominate in Week 5. He’s 5-0 during that week, outscoring opponents by 218 points,
thanks in part to a 2005 win over the Quackers by 70 and a 2004 win over Caracas by 90.
- Speaking of Chris: The only team to really rule him is Blass’ team, which currently is 4-1 when playing Brock, and has
outscored him by 155 points. Brock's only win came in 2005’s Week 11 where each team broke 100, but Brock pulled out a
win by 12.4 points.
- And who owns Blass? With five games under their belts, Navid has dominated Blass with 4 wins and outscored him by 112
- The best rivalry in the league appears to be Rich vs. Allocco: In 5 meetings, Dave holds the edge by one game, outscoring
Rich by just 0.6 points.
- Another good rivalry is the Jay’s: Sherman leads the series 3-2, but has only outscored Cantor by .94 points (Of course,
that includes 2002’s Whiskey ‘N’ Rye NY team that Cantor didn't run. Take that out of the equation, and the Jay’s have gone
back and forth with wins to a 2-2 tie, with Cantor outscoring Sherman by 26.57)
- The worst rivalry? Lukin has absolutely crushed me, beating me in all five meetings and outscoring me by 186.57 points.
- Nose’s 100 point showing in Week 8 puts him back on track to tie the record of 12 games at 100+ set by Josh Lukin in
2004, and tied by Scott Watson last year.
- Due primarily impart to low scoring in 2002, all but three teams have had one full season without scoring 100 or more points
in one game. The three exceptions: Dave Allocco, Parker Deay and Gregg Moore have all had at least one 100 point game
in all five seasons.
- Only one team has gone multiple seasons without breaking the century mark. Yep, it’s me. In fact, as a ROFF owner, I
didn't break 100 until 2004’s Week 4 win over Scott. Since then, I have only gone over 100 points 17 times, fourth lowest in
ROFF.
- Who’s broken 100 the most? That would be Scott Watson, who has done it 29 times (or roughly 48% of his games). In fact,
he’s done it in 28 of the last 34 games he’s played.
- Jarrett Blass and Brian Yeung have the most frustrating teams. Over five years, Brian has been outscored by the
competition by 0.07 points per game. Jarrett - 0.29 points per game. Ouch.
- Rich Kiss has the record for the highest point game in history with a 169.75 showing in a Week 1 win in 2004. In second
place? Jason Cantor with a Week 3 win over Blass in 2005
- The least point’s scored during a one week performance? Parker Deay’s 27.59 point showing in 2003’s Week 3 loss to
Lukin.
- Only 6 teams have had 10 or more wins in a season: 2002’s Born to Run My Mouth and Colt .45’s, 2003’s Five Second
Stare, 2004’s One Way to Asia, 2005’s Nomads in the Deep and Brick Walls and Tree’s. Of those teams, only 2003’s Five
Second Stare and 2005’s Nomads in the Deep went on to win the Championship.
- In 2006’s Draft – the first time keepers kept twice had to be thrown back in – there were 13 players on the “Can Not Keep
List.” This upcoming draft will only have 7.
- Shemtanks currently holds the record for the most consecutive playoff appearances with three, a streak that was snapped
last year. With a playoff appearance this year, Navid, Scott and Brian would tie that record.
- Only two teams have missed the playoffs twice in a row: Brian and Parker. If he misses it this year, Parker will be the first
team to miss the playoffs in three consecutive years.
- Only two teams - Blass and Rich - have never won a playoff game.
- Sherman and Navid have both played in a total of 7 playoff games – the most of any teams. And I know you know, but
Navid’s team has the most playoff wins (6) and highest winning percentage (.857)
- In total there have been 17 owners in the league, and a total of 45 different team names. Only Parker, Josh, Nick and Scott
have never had the same team name twice
That's all I have for now... Go TOOLS!
Best of luck to everyone this week.
