trade winds

Not that this would apply to anyone but the overzealous commish, but let's make the trading deadline a week from today -- Thursday, November 20.

playoffs? you kidding me? playoffs?

With eight games (almost) in the books, it's time to look ahead to the playoffs. They begin in week 14, the first weekend in December. Here's how they'll play out:

There will be 6 playoff teams, 3 from each division. The four wild-card teams will be seeded based on overall record, then total points scored.

* No. 1 seed (division champ) -- first-round bye

* No. 2 seed (division champ) -- first-round bye

* No. 3 seed vs. No. 6 seed -- winner plays #2 seed

* No. 4 seed vs. No. 5 seed -- winner plays #1 seed

Speaking of playoffs, you can see the full version of the classic Jim Mora playoffs rant here . 

to err is divine (or something like that)

The commish is off to a rough start this year:

* Looks like I finally got Ian set up on the site. (Not to worry, Ian, you're tied for first place.)

* When inputting the rosters I assigned somebody named Derrick Doyle to the Shiners instead of Donald Driver (must be all those D's). The Taxmen picked up and started Driver, but fortunately his single point was not the difference-maker in the Taxmen's narrow win over Weapons of Pass Destruction. Mr. Driver has now been returned to the Shiners' roster.

What can I say? Even veterans make rookie mistakes. Remind me not to skip training camp next year.

name change alert (cont'd)

mrs. commish has said farewell to the clash and gone elsewhere for her musical inspiration. meet the beguiling young lass who is now the face of the franchise:

this, of course, is amy winehouse, that train wreck of a chanteuse.
the new team name is WINEHAUSFRAU.

---

name change alert

The owner of the team formerly known as King of the Hill has given her team a rousing new name: Montana. To mark the occasion, we present some of the more memorable Montana-centric dialogue in cinematic history:

"I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck ... maybe even a 'recreational vehicle.' And drive from state to state."

(and, later, his dying words)

"I would like to have seen Montana."

-- Capt. Vasili Borodin (Sam Neill), "The Hunt for Red October"

kickoff is a week away

first game is thursday, september 4 -- redskins @ giants.

looks like everybody has gotten onto the site (with the exception of ian and louis -- teenagers these days).

as far as the commish is concerned, you can start adding and dropping players. (whoops, i now see that the taxmen have beaten me to the green light.)

division setup

here's where the commish is leaning regarding divisions. it divides the ebner football clan into two camps: those over 45, and those under (this also allows the commish to take advantage of a narrow window and let mrs. commish remain a part of the younger generation for a little while longer). if there are no objections (but especially if there are), we'll go with this.

WILY VETERANS DIVISION
* rege sr.
* trent
* laurie
* neil
* rege jr.
* babs

BRASH UPSTARTS DIVISION
* sherrie
* pam
* kevin
* diane
* ian
* louis

thoughts on division setups?

last year it was the former champs in one division and the non-champs in the other. and with louis poised to rejoin us this year, we should be back to 12 teams.

suggestions welcome.
