POWER RANKINGS

Post Season Awards


GM of the YEAR - ELECT

This award goes to the owner that showed he knew what he
was doing more than the rest.  As is the case with our
president-elect, this owner may have looked clumsy and
akward, but ultimately got the job done.  This owner had
a tremendous draft and culled some real unexpected gems.
He made a few decent trades and utilized the add/drop
effectively.  It's true the league office made fun of him
quite a few times but in the end he showed up everyone.
This years winner is...... GEORGE W (OPIE) CLUNE... the
GM of this year's champion Spokeheads.


GM of the YEAR - CONSOLATION

This award is given to the owner that is the most flamboyant,
obnoxious, SOB in the league.  Normally, James would have this
award wrapped up before the draft is over, but this year James
is stepping aside for the GM that was clearly in every other
GMs crosshairs.  If it were 100 years ago, he'd be hanging from
a tree.  If it were 200 years ago, he'd be Ben Franklin's
personal assistant.  If it were 2000 years ago, he'd be 
Cleopatra's fashion consultant.  If it were 2500 years ago, he'd
be Plato's Plaything.  You know who I'm talking about, the
much hated Carl "The MOLE HOLE" Truitt, GM of the Butt Buddies.


THE TRUMP

This award goes to the owner flirted with the championship
but ultimately bowed out before the race even got started.
This guy clearly had one of the best teams in the league but
couldn't get out of his own way and ended up not even making
the playoffs.  Did UCLA ever have a losing season with Kareem
on their team?  Did Secretariat finish as an also-ran in the
Preakness after crushing the competition in the Kentucky Derby?
Did Microsoft decide not to publish Windows 95 after starting
with Windows 3.0?  HELL NO.  If you have the makings of a 
champion you get out of their way and let the talent come thru.
This, sadly, did not happen for our next award winner.  Ladies
and Gentlemen meet this year's Trump winner, the guy who took
his mom to the prom, Lou "PLAIN CHEESE PIZZA" Brunelli, GM of
the Mean Street Posse.


THE NADER

This award goes to the owner that didn't seem to ever have a
shot at the title, but did make some noise.  This owner
managed to compile one of the best records in the league
despite having one of the worst teams.  The start of the season
seemed pretty promising but after a trade or two this teamed
looked more like the Cleveland Browns than a storied-FFL
franchise.  It was hard even looking at this guy's starting
lineup much less realizing he kept knocking off most teams in
the league.  But, much like Nader, he got a lot of press and
seemed to be a player until the dance started and this ugly
duckling danced with the spike punch and the porcelain throne.
This year's winner is...Keith "Here's my DILLONger" Cosgrove,
GM of Cosgrove's Claymores.


THE CNN

This award goes to the owner that made the biggest blunder of
the year, much like CNN calling Gore the winner then changing
to Bush then changing to "to close to call".  This was a hard
decision considering the repetitive bonehead manuveurs we have
each year.  The award committee had a tough time deciding 
between 2 moves in particular so ultimately they decided it was
a tie.  The first move was the annual ripoff trade with James. 
This owner has been on the receiving end of a good James' reeming
for 3 years in a row.  Deciding he didn't need any running backs
at all, this owner traded Corey Dillon for Drew Bledsoe.  Not
such a bad trade you say?  He already had Brunell so why did he
need Bledsoe?  The RB that he inserted in place of Dillon, you 
ask, Priest Holmes????  Ofcourse we are talking about the CLAYMORES
The second award winner decided Fred Taylor and Antonio Freeman
were washed up.  He decided Jimmy Smith was his savior.  What 
happened?  Taylor ripped off 9 100 yard games in a row and Smith
ended up hurt for 7 of those weeks.  Ofcourse we are talking about
the MEAN STREET POSSE.


THE CHENEY

This award goes to the owner that is a grizzled veteran had partial
success but ultimately watched someone else take the crown.  This
owner dominated the league from start to finish in the regular 
season.  He posted the highest scoring average in the league's 
history and seemed a shoe-in for the championship.  His offensive
numbers were stagering, especially considering he did not have
the top yardage QB, RB, WR, or K.  But, keeping with tradition, 
this GM took it on the chin in the first round of the playoffs, 
bringing an end to "The Holy Baughman Empire".  The Cheney goes
to Jeff "The Glad-he-ate-her" Baughman, GM of Baughman's Bombers.


THE LIEBERMAN

This award goes to the owner that stuck to the moral high ground
no matter how hostile the race got.  This owner thwarted numerous
attempts by other GMs to heist one of the biggest gems in the league.
Despite being a rookie owner, this guy steered his team to a third
place finish and sweet revenge over arch-rival Panella's Pirates.
This year's LIEBERMAN goes to....Chris "HONEY, JAMES IS ON THE PHONE"
Andriola, GM of the WOODBRIDGE WARRIORS.


THE CLINTON

A posthumous award given to the GM that is no longer a player.
This year's winner was so obvious it was a unanimous vote on the
first ballot.  Our CLINTON award winner started off the year
totally distracted by women.  In fact, he's still totally
distracted by women.  Our winner became so obsessed with chubby
women that fell in love with his chubby, he totally forgot about
running his team.  He surrounded himself with what had to be
the worst team ever drafted.  It was only after the commissioner's
office stepped in to run the team did they finally score over
50 points.  Many of you may not of known that this same owner
traded away most of his talent in the baseball league to James
because of......COMPULSIVE CHUBBY SYNDROME.  Congratulations
go to this year's winner....Craig "TIP THE SCALES" KRAMER, 
original GM of BUBBA'S BARKERS.
