I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

 

After a bunch of really good playoff games, the Super Bowl ended up a bit anti-climatic for all but the fans of the New York Giants as Dean Engemoen wins his first league championship as their owner.  Giants down the Patriots, 27-3 in the big game and are the ISFL Champions for 2018! Congratulations to Dean and also to Danielle who had a great season as well!

 

The lottery results are in and the big winner this year is the San Francisco 49ers who jump all the way from #14 to the #1 overall pick!  Atlanta makes a smaller jump up to #2 and Seattle does the same up to #3. Look for the final results of the lottery in a separate email!

 

ISFL Awards were also announced this week, here is a recap of those results!

 

ISFL MVP - Drew Brees, Dallas Cowboys - 6 first place votes, just edged out rookie Kareem Hunt who also had 6 first place votes.

Coach of the Year - Shan Wu, Carolina Panthers - 4 first place votes, this one was tight as well but the votes were spread evenly amongst three coach as Dean Engemoen had 3 first place votes and Danielle Miozzi had 2 first place votes to finish a close second and third.

GM of the Year - Dean Engemoen, New York Giants - 10 first place votes, this one was not close as Valentino Montelbano and Danielle Miozzi finish a distant second and third and splitting the other 3 first place votes.

AFC Offensive Player of the Year - Drew Brees, Dallas Cowboys - not surprising an easy win with 10 first place vots, far in front of Mark Ingram and Cam Newton.

AFC Defensive Player of the Year - Chandler Jones, Tennessee Titans - 8 first place votes, with Bobby Wagner finishing second with 4 first place nods and Aaron Donald finishes third with the other top vote.

NFC Offensive Player of the Year - Kareem Hunt, New York Giants - Again, no real surprise here as Hunt gets 7 first place votes to get by his teammate Goff with 3 first place votes and Alex Smith gets the other 3 to finish third.

NFC Defensive Player of the Year - Calaise Campbell, New Orleans Saints - a close vote with Campbell getting 4 first place votes and edging out Byard  who actually had 6 but wasn't on enough ballots to make up the 6 second place votes Campbell also received.  Von Miller finishes third with 3 first place votes.

Offensive Rookie of the Year - Kareem Hunt, New York Giants - 9 first place votes means an easy win for Hunt with Fournette and Kamara each getting a first place vote and finishing a distant second and third.

Defensive Rookie of the Year - Marshon Lattimore, Miami Dolphins - an even tighter vote as Lattimore gets just 4 first place votes but it is enough to finish up just ahead of Tre'Davious White with 3 and TJ Watt with 3 while Myles Garrett gets 2 to finish just behind.

 

Well so far a good offseason as I have already filled the 4 teams that were league owned for most or all of this past season.  Hopefully we will stay full up through the offseason but at least for now we have 28 owners and we are ready to move to the offseason when the playoffs are finished. Here are the new owners and their contact info:

 

Cleveland Browns – Mike Harvath - bceconguy@yahoo.com
Detroit Lions – Conner McNeil - conner.mcneil03@gmail.com
NY Jets – Pat Crew - apccommish@yahoo.com
St. Louis Rams – JT Toth – simsports24@gmail.com

 

Preliminary ballot is out there for review. I hope to post the ballot and finish voting on it by Sunday, February 10th. 

 

Final playoff files can be found on the main page.  These are for review only and will be used to start next season. If you see any injury replacements on your roster still, please send that over and I will remove them!

 

I can’t stress enough that you need to IMMEDIATELY send me your game export when the game is complete.  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 moving along if it is missing at the deadline.

***There is a new game update available on the website, dated 10/16/18 *** 

 

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.  Also, be sure you give me enough names as the more injuries the more likely someone else already grabbed the guy you want. 

 

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.

II. News from Around the League 


Super Bowl XXII – NY Giants - 27, New England Patriots - 3

Unlike the last game that deserved a much better write-up, this one doesn’t deserve much of one at all. Daniele had absolutely no chance today, as the football Gods were against him from the start as the Giants cruise to a 27-3 victory and win their first SuperBowl since 2001 !

The Giants didn’t waste any time, as Jared Goff connected with DeAndre Hopkins for a 76-yard TD on the first play from scrimmage. It was basically all downhill from there for the Patriots, as the Giants scored TD’s on their first 3 possessions and lead 21-0 at the end of the first quarter.

Cam Newton was so bad, completing only 8 passes all day, that he was replaced by Brett Hundley on a couple different occasions. Todd Gurley rushed for only 46 yards. The Patriots were stymied by the Giants defense all day.

This was only my second appearance in the SuperBowl, last getting there in 2004 with the Chiefs and getting clobbered. Feels good to be on the other side of things, despite it not being a great game.

Congrats again to Daniele for a fantastic season and thanks to Mark for keeping things afloat during a very trying season.
