gotta take a closer look at savage tomorrow...looks like this could be an exciting finish

I DEFINITELY feel there should be a reward for getting five teams in the playoffs! In fact, I think it should be even higher. It is a goal of mine in each Savage so far, and I am super jacked that I was actually able to do it this season!

It takes a lot more strategy to try to keep all five teams strong enough to make the postseason, and I thought the original goal of this league was exactly that--taking players who could help you win using five different seasons! Accomplishing that feat should be highly rewarded IMO.

By the way, I'm glad everyone has had a lot of fun with Peggy, but let it go already! She was not a hooker. She was a 55 year old grandmother. And I am not seeing her anymore anyways. Enough already! Let it go!

OK, I promise that in the future all my jokes about Peggy will accurately make fun of her being a 55-year-old grandmother rather than a hooker.

Did she give you a butterscotch candy when you were done?

It was a Werther's Original

This bit slayed me.

Well, at least I finished 7 spots higher than pex predicted me. Robusk, you should at that to the spreadsheet for season 5 next to PY wins. "Pex Place" defined as +/- over predicted. Would I be the season 4 Pex Place champ at +7?

I had Mikee finishing between 19 and 24 at the end of the regular season, and he finished 9th for a +10.
A lot of player season choices surprised me, with owners picking different seasons than I would have. Predictions are quite the crap shoot.

Yeah, huge crap shoot, which is why I don't particularly care one way or the other about them. They're fun to make, but I never take them seriously.

Pex looking strong for being the first two-time winner. He's only six points back of first place with four teams left in it.

it might come down to our potential head to head finals matchup in world 2, which would certainly be an exciting finish.

let's see... I have a losing record in my next matchup against robusk in world 1. midge's team is on a tear right now in world 2, so I have to get past sim there before I even get to the finals. I'm punching way above my weight class in world 3 so I'm not favored in any matchups there. and jkaye's two monster teams are in worlds 4 and 5. On top of that... I probably still need to win 2 leagues since you're probably going to win 1 league, and kinoa has 110 possible points to go as well. So I don't think any of us are putting inside the leather in any of the 5 realms.

oh, hell, I can’t go out like that. maybe one more Savage before I depart this domain

Well that was certainly embarrassing...moreso than dating Peggy! Had TWO 1st round bye teams that BOTH went out in their first series BEFORE my two "six seeded" teams. robusk took out two of my three best teams. 2-7 in all my nine series combined. The prize was so close, but still so far away.

Efficient shooting % proved to be my undoing. I was able to out OReb teams and win in the regular season shooting 42% from the field, but just couldn't do it in the postseason. Congrats to the winners and anyone who finishes above me!

Still, I have improved my standing in each Savage, so I should be a lock for top three next time!

What an exciting finish! Pex, Kinoa or myself could still win it. Pex & I could tie. What in the world is going to happen?!?!
