Please check your scores. I have been wrong a couple times in the past few weeks

Randy Moss had a huge day for Jackson, scoring 25 points. The other beneficary of Moss's production is Mosakowski-Hale. They may not be in such good shape despite all those points.

Division leader MOS is in a battle with second second place Talbot. The Minnesota/Dallas game was significant: Ironicly, both teams had players named Cunningham and Smith. The outcome was Talbot's Richie and Emmitt 31, MOS Randall and Robert 27. Robert Smith was injured during the game. Also playing for MOS on turkey day was Tommy Vardell, who didn't score. If MOS was going to overcome Talbot, he would have had to have opened up an early lead. But with Talbot leading, and the BRFL's most productive player, Steve Young, not playing until Monday night, it could be aloha, Mo-ha...

In other action, Jackson leads Wallace 25-8 Thanks to Randy Moss' 3 50 plus TDs and bonus points and two point conversion. Wallace counter with Troy Aikman.

Thanks to Jason Hanson, Czupryna leads Best 15-0. Best did not lock in Leroy Hoard, who scored 13 in relief of Robert Smith. Best's Viking D did not score.

Stroupe, with Cris Carter, Gary Anderson and Dallas D, leads BUD 15-1, who benefited from Michael Irvin's bonus point.

Outlaw, with a Herman Moore TD and bonus, leads Peil 7-0.

JK and Barry are 0-0, JK not getting anything from Barry Sanders.

• Darick Holmes had a bonus point, Stroupe's total point increases by 1.
• Team Archives Updated through week 12.

• Recap of Thursday Action, Fri

Best and Talbot clinched playoff spots with shootout wins, while Mo-ha and Calvin are in trouble tonight. And doesn't anyone want to win the Central? JK could join Outlaw at 6-6 on top of that division.

A couple of the NFL scores looked like BRFL scores yesterday; however, not many in the league will take adavntage of it. Best sat Bam Morris (18 points) and sent Stoyo (13 points) packing. Radio star Jackson, should he lose tonight, may end up with the "Splinter Squad of a lifetime": Jake Plummers five TDs.

Special Note: SR slot Maximum

• You two slots every week. This compensates for the two roster slots we took away when we went from 14 to 12.
• For bye weeks, it is the same as it always was. A slot for each player off: maximum of two.

Point Spreads vs My Predictions

• MOS = 351, DP 197
• 351-197 = 154
• 154 / 7 (games played so far) = 22
• Spread is MOS by 22.

Green Bay plays at Detroit. Please "lock in" your starting Lions and Packers. You have until Sunday to choose the remainder of your line-up.

Transactions are posted for week 7. Bob: Need your drop for Vanderjagt..

Four AFC West teams are off: Denver, Kansas City, Oakland and Seattle.

We have our first trade of the year. In fact, it is the first in season trade since Wallace send Deitrich the Jacksonville QBs for Cris Carter in week 11, 1996.

Jackson sends Eddie Kennison to Peil for Fred Taylor.

The scalpal wasn't even cold on James Stewart...

See transactions for other week 4 pick-ups.

A correction on the Jones Klingman/Wallace score 52-19. See the week 3 write up and there is a change in the standings.

Unless your name is Bud Deitrich, you probably don't have a prayer in picking up Priest Holmes on Tuesday. Holmes scored 14 points this week in a dazzling debut as the Baltimore Ravens featured back Sunday night. Best special reserved and started Holmes. He is upset that his "right of first refusal" rule failed to pass this year. The rule would have let an owner keep a special reserved player without having to go through the claim process. The opponents of the rule claimed that it would disrupt the balance of power by denying weak teams a chance to claim emerging talent.

Best shouldn't feel too bad. He claimed Robert Holcombe, who scored 13 points this week. Holcombe was drafted and cut by Bud.

Editor's note: I know the claiming process is secret, but (0-4) Bud has already claimed Holmes. You can still claim him in the event Bud changes his mind

The early days of the B..R..F..L.. was a time when group of ordinary men played a fierce six on six game. It was a time before Defense and Special Teams, bonus points and when Quarterbacks were known by name. There were teams known as the DeJaneros, Mudflaps and the Frog Level Giants....

Here it is ... Weekly results and write ups from the 1986 Season. Occasionally, my scanners can't read the ancient parchments, so pardon what looks like horrific typos. And the truth.... I don't have anything better to do.

The forum is open for your posting beginning at Thursday midnight. Use our NFL Pages to browse for available players, kickers, defenses and QBs.

New Feature: September 14 Comprehensive standings.

The prognosticator is back... More fearless picks and inane statistics to get you ready for the weekend. Here is your inane statistic of the week: The number 2 team has beaten the number 1 team three straight years. That is why Best should beat Wallace in the BRFL equivalent of the Monday night opener. Favre should carve the Lions, and Wallace's Denver duo (Davis and Smith) should have a hard time catching up.

Speaking of Packers and Bears, the BRFL's oldest rivalry renews this weekend. Expect the Old Man to roll, but not put up the 80 he layed on Jackson last year. CZ, who may have a juggernaut with the Brunell/Smith combo should make CJ whine about drafting Brunell a year too early.

About the only thing that will make Peil happy this weekend is that his beloved Chiefs will stomp the Raiders. However, that translates into bad news from a BRFL perspective as George and Brown get shut down. Although Klingman might find this pick a little Hokie: I'd say that JK is a lock to win now matter which QB they select.

O-U-T-L-A-W... The engraver is prepping the BRFL trophy after he cleans it up. What a draft! Next year we will all be reading Mandarin preseason magazines. Slow starting Barry has no chance this week.

Mos will hand BUD a tough loss in week 1. Both QBs have a tight game, but edge goes to MOS because the Vikes are at home.

Talbot has not lost an opener since 1992, and that trend should continue. Stroupe takes his time on getting his first win ...through his history, his first win does not come until week 3 on the average.

• The reason the time is off is because, by convention, the internet posts are recorded in "Universal Time" or "Greenwich Mean Time". For the duration of Daylight savings time here, that is four hours ahead, five thereafter.
• If your post doesn't immediately show up. try reloading the page.
• Geocities is based in California, so a midnight post here, would occur at 9PM out there, a prime traffic time for the West Coast. It will eventually mirror over. Be sure and double check your posts in the morning to see if someone's claim claim mirrored over before yours. I will sort out all claims in the transaction section.
• Remember, only Talbot is authorized to make claims through someone else. However, if you are travelling, or can't get to the web, you may call in your to Best.

Still working on the NFL and BRFL Roster Spreadsheets. Should have them in place by the weekend.

Posted is the draft review. Who drafted the "keys to success" or who locked those keys in their car....

• 1998 BRFL Draft by round
• 1998 BRFL Draft by BRFL team
• 1998 BRFL Draft by Position
• 1998 BRFL Draft by NFL team

• Eight Team Playoff Format

  The eight teams making the playoffs will be

  • Three Division Winners
  • Three Second Place Teams
  • Two highest scoring teams among those remaining.
• Special Reserve

  The new special reserve policy will allow us to add two players each week in addition to up to two slots for bye weeks. There will be no "right of first refusal". All special reserves will return to the player pool for Claims begining with Tuesday claims.

While you are compiling your draft notes and making out mock drafts. The BRFL Archives invites you to look over these drafts...Check out all the classic boners and the amazing sleepers...

I don't have the drafts from 86 or 88, but have rosters from later in those seasons. The 87 draft sheet is the only surviving artifact from that ill-fated year. Many of forgotten last names listed in the later rounds. Help me out...What were the first name and teams of those players?

  The next couple days, I will be reorganizing our pages on Geocities (into subdirectories) to redunce clutter. If you notice any broken links, this is why.

After five years in the tournament format, the BRFL has chosen to realign back to divisions. The move coincides with the cut back to 12 owners. The league last had 12 owners and played in a division format in 1992.

The rule vote was very close among the 10 owners that voted (Stroupe was not found, Outlaw was in China). At 5:00 Commissioner Calvin Jackson declared the voting closed when neither delinquent owner responded.

The winning plan (prop 12) was slightly different than the first division plan proposed. (prop 1). This was a late "compromise plan" suggested by Adam Barry which put 8 teams in the playoff. Prop 1 only had four playoff teams. Most owners felt going from everyone making the playoffs to just 4 was too drastic. The selection of prop 12 did have one sacrifice: the league had intentions of dropping week 17 and moving the championship to week 16. In order to play an orderly regular season and accomodate eight playoff teams, the 16 week idea was scrapped.

Vote Breakdown

• Prop 12, 3 Divisions, 17 week season, 8 team playoff - 24 points
• Prop 1, 3 Divisions, 16 week season, 4 team playoff - 18 points
• Prop 4, Tournament format, 16 week season 12 team playoff - 16 points
• Prop 2 and 3 fail
• Prop 5: Passes 6-1-1-2 12 man roster with 2 special reserve
• Prop 7: Passes 10-0 25 dollar fee
• Prop 8: Fails 4-6 High Score
• Prop 9: Fails 2-8 Game winning kicks
• Prop 10: Fails 3-7 Player Total Yards Tiebreaker
• Prop 11 Passes 6-4 Eliminate Losers Tournament
• Prop 14: Fails 4-6 Lineup submission
• Prop 15: Fails 4-6 Lower Yardage Bonus

Rule refinements to be worked out

The claiming process for prop 5... 12 man roster with special reserve. will also be refined.

A huge note of irony...One of the reasons that the division format was scrapped after 1992 was that sometimes the most powerful teams can end up in the same division. In 1992, Wallace, Best, Jackson and Czupryna all played in the West division. They effectively eliminated each other with CZ advancing to the Super Bowl to get crushed by Ricker. That imfamous West division has been reunited! It is not to say that they will be the most powerful teams, but from a historical perspective, those four teams represent 5 championships and twelve Super Bowl appearances. The rest of the league can collectively boast only two champions and three Super Bowl Appearances.
