2008 DFFL Champion: Mike's Crazy Bombers

After a long, tough season, the Crazy Bombers are DFFL Champions! The trophy should be in Indianapolis so just keep it out there for another year. Heck, take it to Wabash and show it to all your friends. College chicks dig winners.

Did you ever think that the winning lineup of a fantasy league champion would read like this:

QB Matt Schaub - gutsy move picking a Houston QB

RB Ladainian Tomlinson - no surprise but he's been having a down year

RB Le'Ron McClain - he's a Pro-Bowler but at fullback!

WR Marques Colston - good player

WR Wes Welker - good player

TE Antonio Gates - good player

D/ST Empty - last time I checked there isn't an NFL team from the city of Empty. Mike didn't start a Defense for the CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!! You sir, are crazy.

K Mason Crosby - mediocre kicker

So Mike won because of solid running backs, good receivers, and an average quarterback. This should give hope to all of you that is possible to win in the DFFL.

Even with no starting Defense, Mike defeated Joe's Here Comes Treble 92 to 58. Well done sir.

Wabash Wally salutes you!

Playoff Semis Recap

It looked as if The Office might cruise to a DFFL Championship with their high powered scoring machine. Joseph would have none of it. Here Comes Treble served up an Upset Special beating Father Hegeman 79 to 71. Here Comes Treble moves on to the Championship Game due to a stellar performance by Steve Smith and Marshawn Lynch.




In the other Playoff Matchup, The Adam Factor faced a tough Crazy Bombers team. The Factor was confident going into the game and neglected to check the updated injury list prior to the game. Oh, crap.



Frank Gore was out and that's all she wrote. Mike's Crazy Bombers beat The Factor 80 to 63 and the Bombers move on to face Here Comes Treble in the Championship.


It's a Brother vs. Brother Championship Game! The winner gets a free punch to the arm of the loser with no retaliation. Good luck!

In the rest of the league, Molly proved that she's the better sister by beating Emily's Dwight's Bobbleheads 109 to 76.


Uncle Pat showed Corey that he is still man of the house by beating Corey's Vandelay Industry 74 to 60.


And Team Uncle Sloppy took out his youngest by beating him 60 to 53. Yes, it only took 60 points to beat Garret this week. Two players scored a big fat zero on his team. Blame it on Finals Week at CMU.


Well, this is the last week of the Dombroski Fantasy Football Season. Good luck to Mike and Joe, you jerks. I'll be doing a recap of the game and maybe some of the other games. Who knows what the Commish will do. Probably a season recap or something. Sign up for email alerts because I'll do a Season Awards Post sometime after the Holidays.

Playoff Recap

On behalf of the Commish, we apologize for the recent lack of posts, we've been hard at work hippie-proofing our house in preparation of the onslaught of humanity coming to D.C. for the Inauguration.

Here's a synopsis of the Playoff Bracket... All-Hegemans+Me. So the percentage that the Stanley Cup remains with Aunt Barb is 67% and is now 75% after the First Round. The Office had a phenomenal regular and have the #1 seed going into the playoffs. Mike's Crazy Bombers also had a bye and are the #2 seed. In the first round, I faced the GreenDayTractors and took care of business by winning 79 - 52. It's a great weekend when the Steelers beat up Tony Romo, and I still win my fantasy game. The other playoff game was a Brother v. Brother matchup when Nick's Buyer Beware took on Joe's Here Comes Treble. It was a close game and the youngest Hegeman emerged victorious 97 - 84. Nick now must face the long off-season thinking of what could have been. The Semifinals are two great matchups with Here Comes Treble taking on The Office in a Father/Son Game and The Adam Factor facing Mike's Crazy Bombers. Place your bets folks, it's gonna be a good weekend.

Let's not forget the other games so here's a brief recap:

Emily's Dwight's Bobbleheads toasted her Dad's Stan Steamers 110 -68. Em finished strong in the regular season after an extremely slow start. She's my sleeper pick to have a big year next season.

One T artans lost to Molly's Stanley Nickels 88 - 80 in the College Nerds Bowl.

In the Ultimate Loser Bowl, Corey's Vandelay Industries beat Team Uncle Sloppy 89 - 65. These two teams were the worst teams of the season overall. It wouldn't be right to give the trophy to the winner of the Ultimate Loser Bowl soo Team Uncle Sloppy, for being the Ultimate Loser gets this...

Did you really think that the Ultimate Loser deserves anything? No award, no trophy, no certificate. Better luck next season.

As for everyone else who didn't make the playoffs, keep playing! The season isn't over until the end of the NFL Regular Season. This is where you can try out some free agents that you've been thinking about picking up or just be ridiculous and start as many Browns as you can and see if you score in the double digits. Be creative! We'll give out awards or something.

Good luck this weekend for those in the Playoffs. And I sincerely apologize for not posting lately. Thanks for picking up the slack, Commish, I know how busy it's been for ya.

He's been writing his Thesis on the effects of Coors Light, Wendy's, and College Football on the Human Body. I hear that the initial findings are quite intriguing.

Week 9 Recap: Election Day Edition

Hooray America! "Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!"

Ok, enough gloating, right Corey? On to the games!

Defensive Slugfest of the Week was between two low scoring teams, The Adam Factor and Molly's Stanley Nickels. I lucked out a win 60 to 47. Molly's still in the gutter at 2-7 but at least she has some company down there. Her brother, our Commish, is also at 2-7.

Speaking of him, the Commish's Vandelay Industries took on Joseph's Here Comes Treble. HCT won 67 to 60. At 2-7, things aren't looking good for Corey. He's looking worse than American car companies. With 4 weeks to go and 4 games back in his division, our Commish has lost all...

Hey, at least you can look forward to a tax break this year.

Game of the Week was another Brother vs. Brother matchup when Mike's Crazy Bombers faced Nick's Buyer Beware. Mike edged out a victory 77 to 71 just like Barack edged out a win in Indiana. I'll assume Mike and Nick voted for CHANGE!! Good job guys. (Is Mike old enough to vote?) Anyways, both teams are 1 game ahead in their divisions. Can they hold onto their slim leads?

One T artans lost to Green Day Tractors 42 to 73. Those 42 points make One T our Biggest Loser of the Week. This kid is all over the place. One week he has the High Score, another week he gets the lowest score. You're more inconsistent than the McCain Campaign. That is why you have a losing record of 4-5. Your prize for Biggest Loser is...

This John McCain t-shirt! Maybe you can use it as a wash rag or something.

Our next game is was a Brother-in-Law vs. Brother-in-Law Matchup. (That has a nice ring to it.) Uncle Pat's Stan's Steamers beat down Uncle Jeff's Team Uncle Sloppy 83 to 63 and showed him who the tougher in-law was. Sloppy's gameday pickup of Joe Flacco was not enough for him to win.

Our final game of week had The Office facing off against Emily's Dwight's Bobbleheads. Uncle Gary won and got the High Score of the Week, 88 to 54. This marks another weekly High Score Award for The Office. They continue to rake in the dough week in and week out. I'm pretty much running out of High Score prizes for The Office but this week the award is...

The World's smallest bluetooth!

Well, we're already into Week 10 so good luck this week. Woohoo!! CHANGE!!

Week 8 Recap: Treehouse of Horror Edition

It was a frightening week of competition in the DFFL and the playoff race is in full swing. When taking a look at the standings, you truly realize that no one is safe! Due to the upcoming holiday, this Recap will have a slight theme to it. See if you can guess what it is.

On to the games! MUHWWAAAHAHAHAHAHA!

A close non-divisional game took place when Team Uncle Sloppy faced Mike's Crazy Bombers. Uncle Sloppy desperately needed to win this game to stay within at least 1 game of Nick in the Pants N'at Division. The elder gentleman emerged victorious over Mike's team 99 to 82. That is the second loss in a row for the Bombers. Are they on the verge of a late season collapse? After the win, Coach Sloppy was seen addressing his team...

Defensive Slugfest of the Week was a game featuring Stan's Steamers and the Green Day Tractors. The Steamers escaped with a 56 to 38 win. Both teams are currently 4-4 on the year. 38 points is pretty pitiful. Green Day Tractors wins Low Score of Week by a large margin. This weeks prize is...

A bag of candy corn. Whoever came up with this evil concoction should be forced to eat it all day, every day to see the pain that they've brought to children around the country every Halloween.

A Father/Son Game of the Week this week had Uncle Gary's Office vs. his eldest, Nick's Buyer Beware. This was a game that had two of the top teams in the DFFL face off. The Office made it look easy and reminded Nick who the man of the house was with a 93 to 56 drubbing. The Office got it done using the likes of Steve Slaton, a Kansas City wide-receiver, and some no name Saints receiver. That's like Jason in Friday the 13th. People keep trying to kill him, but he always manages to get up at the end. Well done.

Game of the Week goes to the matchup between Joe's Here Comes Treble and Molly's Stanley Nickels. Both teams put up respectable numbers but Joseph came out on top 77 to the Nickel's 74. The Nickels have been struggling a lot lately. Well, all of the Gallagher siblings have been struggling lately. Maybe poor fantasy football runs in the genes or something. By the way, Molly, were you at that Marshall/Houston game this week? I blame YOU for that cart breaking that poor guy's leg. You could have easily pushed that cart out of the way. And if anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, just look up Marshall vs. Houston leg break on youtube. It's not pretty.

The first of two sibling matchups this week was Corey's Vandelay Industries vs. Emily's Dwight's Bobbleheads. Apparently, Emily did not get the memo that you're supposed to let the birthday boy win. The Bobbleheads won 64 to 51. Congratulations Em! You are tops among your brother and sister! The Gallagher Bragging Rights are yours! (until next season)

In the final Sibling Game of the Week, Garret's One T artans took on my The Adam Factor in a high-scoring offensive slugfest. Of course, Garret beat me 107 to 95. In what universe does Roddy Freakin White get you 23 points?! This universe, apparently! Oh well, I'm still sitting atop our division, which is all that matters right now. You may have won the battle, but not the war! Congratulations, for High Score of the Week you get...

A special Treehouse of Horror High Score of the Week Trophy. (This is what shows up when you type in "Halloween Trophy" in Google images.)

Congratulations to all the winners and better luck next time to the losers. Happy Halloween and good luck in Week 9!

Week 7 Recap

Week 7 was a high scoring affair with all but 1 team scoring 70 or more points. The competition is heating up and some of the divisions are shaping up. But everyone still remains playoff eligible.

On to the games!

The game of the week was a collegiate matchup between Dwight's Bobbleheads and One T artans. The final score was a close 77 - 74. Both teams faired well but Emily's team came out the victor. Emily is now the St. Louis Rams of the DFFL; their not great on paper but they can still beat you. That win is Emily's 2nd on the year and with the loss, One T falls behind 2 games in the Dahn Tahn Division.

The Green Day Tractors beat a struggling Team Uncle Sloppy this week 88 - 72. Sloppy is now 2 games back in the Pants N'at Division. Steven Jackson had a breakout game with 35 points leading the way for the Tractors. Some of you may be wondering why Uncle Jeff dropped Mewelde Moore last week when he was going to start for such a great running team like the Steelers. Well, he pressed the wrong button. Dad, John McCain could figure out ESPN's fantasy website. Our Commish took full advantage of this brain fart and picked up Moore who led Corey's team to a huge victory this week.

The Commish rose from the ashes this week with Mewelde Moore leading the way with 31 points in a 110 to 92 victory over Molly's Stanley Nickels. Both teams are now 2-5 on the year. Those 110 points were the High Score of the Week. Congratulations and for that you win...

This Mewelde Moore card!

I'm sure it'll be worth at least $5 some day. Which could go a long way if the markets continue to take. Think of this card as 100 shares of Microsoft stock in the 80's.

The Father - Son game of the Week was The Office vs. Mike's Crazy Bombers. Both teams are having excellent seasons and it was a close game. The Office must've spent more time at the office and pulled out a 79 to 72 win. Was this game a precursor to what we might see in the DFFL Championship Game? Only time will tell.

Joseph's Here Comes Treble faced his arch-nemesis Nick's Buyer Beware in the Battle of Mike's Least Favorite People. (Just kidding, I'm sure Michael has nothing but fond memories of these two.) Buyer Beware is having a stellar season and beat Joe 78 to 74. This was definitely a rivalry game and Nick promptly celebrated.

*All other facebook pictures were not suitable for children under the age of 65.

The second highest scorer of the week was Me, when The Factor beat Uncle Pat's Stanley's Steamers 97 to 51. Did anyone see that Lendale White touchdown run of 80 yards? The guy had a great game for someone who looked like they were playing with a refrigerator on their back. (He's really slow.) Not many people know that Lendale has a part-time job in a local Nashville mall as Santa Claus. The Steamers 51 points were the Low Score of the Week. Things are bad when your kicker is the highest scorer on your team. The prize this week is...

A $20 Bennigan's Gift Card! But due to recent struggling business, it is completely worthless.

Well, that's it for Week 7! It was a very competitive week and the season is half over. (Or half full if you're an optimist) Can you believe it? Have a great weekend!

Recap: Week 6

Here is your Week 6 synopsis in all its glory!

There were a lot of lopsided scores this week so let us begin with the first one:

The Me Factor got clobbered by Sloppy Joe's Here Comes Treble 84 to 45. (Do not confuse Sloppy Joe with Uncle Sloppy) That win puts Joseph back at .500 and broke my 3 game winning streak. Injuries and bye weeks suck.

The closest game this week was between The Steam and and Mike's Crazy Bombers. The Bombers won again 63 to 55. I don't even think I can call it the game of the week when the scoring was so low. Mike, you are soo lucky my friend. But hey, that's part of fantasy football. Much of it is about luck, just ask Corey.

Speaking of the Commish, his team took on Uncle Gary's Office and lost miserably 103 to 48. Vandelay Industries is now tied for last place in the DFFL. They are so bad, the U.S. Treasury is thinking about giving them a bailout. The Office is weathering this financial crisis with a strong record of 4-2 which ties them for 2nd place in the league. The Office also wins High Score of the Week. This week you receive...

One Schrute Buck. 1,000 Schrute Bucks are redeemable for 5 minutes extra on your lunch break. Don't spend it all in one place!

Low Score of the Week goes to Molly's Stanley Nickels who lost to the Green Day Tractors 79 to 35. The Nickels must have been celebrating the previous week's win over Emily and forgot to focus on the next opponent. Low Score of the Week gets you...

This Sarah Palin totebag! I'm not sure if it's big enough to carry around your moose carcass though.

In other games...

Buyer Beware beat One T artans 92 to 76. One T falls to 3-3 and Nick moves to 4-2. This season is a hotly contested one. It looks like playoff seedings will be determined the last week of the season.

And finally, congratulations to Emily for grabbing her first win this week against Team Uncle Sloppy. It was no fluke either. Dwight's Bobbleheads won 81 to 64. And just like that, she comes back into contention. There are no gimme games this season.

Good luck everyone in Week 7!
