MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Congratulations to Roberto Tosco and the New York Jets on their second
consecutive ISFL Super Bowl win. Congrats also to Ed Minshull and
the New Orleans Saints on getting to the big game and putting up a huge
fight. It's been a great season, capped off with a great game and
I hope everyone really enjoyed it.
The draft lottery was done today and the big winners were the
Philadelphia Eagles who move up to #1 and the Jacksonville Jaguars who
move up to #2. New England
is #3 and the rest of the order stays the same (see the results email
sent out earlier).
Just need one more teams vote and will announce these results. Ballot voting is open and all votes must be in by Sunday, January 30th at midnight eastern time. Any questions, let me know, here is the link in case you missed the email. http://www.kwiksurveys.com?s=IKJJLF_fc61c7bc
I
can’t stress enough that need to IMMEDIATELY send me your game export
when the game is complete.
This is the second straight week that a host had something come up and
forget to send me an export.
It takes about 30 seconds following your game to export it and send it
to me. Send your write up
later on, that’s fine, but I MUST have the game export as soon as the
game ends or I’ll have to sim the game to keep things.
A new
game update is available dated 12/14, please get it from the ISFL
website before you play any games this week.
Don’t
forget, if you lose a player for 2 or more games, you can ask for an
injury replacement, but it must be done the same week as the injury, so
don’t wait, get those requests in right away and take advantage,
especially the teams who are already challenged for the amount of games
they have to work with.
Reminder that you MUST send a boxscore and writeup to the league after
each game. The home team is
responsible for this, but either team can do it, as long as it does get
done. Also, you MUST send me
the game export immediately after the game is complete.
It takes about 30 seconds, so I shouldn’t have to chase you down
for that file after a game, just get it in right away so I don’t have to
guess whether a game has happened or not.

News from Around the League
(thanks to Ed Minshull for a great writeup)
Superbowl XIV
The upstart NO Saints with their 15-1 record took on the undefeated NY
Jets on Friday night. NO wins the coin toss and defers. NYJ
take the opening kick to the 34 and Michael Turner busts the first of
many big plays in this game for 17 yards. The Saints have a chance
to stop the Jets but Brett Farve hits Braylon Edwards for 15 yards and a
big first down. Michael Turner rambles for a 16 yard TD and the
Jets are rolling with an opening drive score. Now it was the
Saints turn and Romo is driving the team down field through the air.
4th and inches at the 38 of the Jets and NO coach Ed Minshull knows to
win they need to score lots of points and goes for it. Game
crashes – should know it was a bad omen but still goes for the same play
and the first bad call ends with Romo getting sacked. The #1
league offense of the Jets are rolling again as their combination
running of Michael Turner and Leonard Weaver combined with the great QB
play of Brett Farve is unstoppable. Quarter ends during the drive
and 7-0 Jets for those who have a pool on t12 plays and 57 yards later
Farve hits Weaver on coach Roberto Tosco’s audible and a 14-0 Jet lead.
Big drive needed for NO so they do not get blown out and they respond.
Tony Romo hits Chris Chambers on a 20 yard crossing pattern for a TD.
14-7 Jets. But the Jets are not undefeated by luck. They
answer with another scoring drive, this time 9 plays 66 yards finished
by another Turner TD run. 21-7 Jets But NO answers getting
to the 6 yard line but having to settle for a FG 21-10 at half.
The 2nd half kick with many of the fans not yet back in their
seats has Jamaal Charles taking it to the house with a 95 yard KO
return. 21-17 and the Saints are back in the game. But the
Saints have not stopped Roberto’s offense all day and this drive was no
different. The big play of the drive had Farve hitting Donald
Driver for 32 yards. The Jets 4th TD of the day was
Farve to Weaver again. 28-17 Jets. NO goes through the air
to answer. Mid season pick-up Muhsin Muhammad scores from a great
pass by Romo. 28-24 Jets but the Saints are not going away. But…..
Farve to Edwards for a 50 yard TD puts the Jets 2 scores up. 5 TD
drives in a row for a 35-24 lead. But… NO turns to Charles and he
carries the team on his back. Romo hits Chambers for his 19th
TD of the season. 35-31 in this donnybrook of a game. Farve
loves these types of games and shows off his MVP season with 2 long
passes to Edwards and a 6th straight scoring drive as Brad
Smith scores from the wildcat. 42-31 Jets midway through the 4th
quarter. Well finally the first punt of the game as the Jets
defense holds. The Jets make it 7 for 7 with another TD drive
putting the game out of reach when Leon Washington gets the final score
of the game 49-31. We destroyed the over/under line on the game.
There was over 800 yards of offense, entertaining throughout, 80 points
on the score board and only one meaningless turnover at the end.
Congratulations must go to Roberto for back to back Superbowl victories
and an undefeated season.
