Also — had roles been reversed and I have a lead (all players games completed) and binky was trailing with players in the postponed/canceled game, hardly any of you would be on here congratulating me or calling me the champion. You’d all be saying how binky didn’t lose, there was an unprecedented stoppage, we need to replay the matchup or let her players get points from their next game, or "we can’t determine a winner so it’s a tie”. Zero chance the people crowning binky the winner would have done the same for me if roles were reversed and you all know it’s true

If everyone (paco specifically) was so confident I couldn’t close the gap, they’d agree that Mixon and Higgins should get their week 18 points applied to the week 17 cancellation. They’re all fearful the win for me was realistically in reach, which is why everyone’s pushing so hard for things to stand as is. Even tho all of you would looooove so much to agree to that, have their points still fall short and me lose, and post some version of "See! Your team still got beat!”  But zero of you are willing to take that risk which is proof in itself that Binky’s lead was the furthest thing from "secure”.

Well, it’s official. It’s no longer Minneapolis.  The new "Land of salt” is now @Agent23’s Vahchina.

Ya know, I'm positive that if you put my teams points from week 18 up against Binky and agent, I'd come out as the champ, but you're all just scared that I'd win so you'll just give the championship to Binky. I get it ... 

I mean wow Agent - I’ll concede my 30 point blowout ass whooping complete takedown and let you have the title since you really really seem to need it if that will make you feel better.

Sorry that's the southern part of me. My mom's lived in Maryland and Virginia most of my life and my siblings who live there have infected me.

You doing like me 8 years ago trying to do my hick schtick. 

Bro. The same way the NFL is saying it's not that big of a deal, we are too.  We're not doing some crazy revisionist rule book bs. Next you'll want to remove kickers!

That's what happened and it sucks you lost that way, but it is quite enjoyable to the rest of us. You still have 3 championships. Relax.

Sig worthy.

When Binky came back to beat me earlier this season with FOUR Mahomes to Kelce connections, she was destined to win.

I am not asking for a win. I’m asking for a fair championship game matchup. Mixon/Higgins either earn me a win or earn me a loss. Not Rodger Goodell. 
 

note: you’re lucky you didn’t have to face me in round 2 (or @Mat this week who would have taken out either one of us)

Spoken like a True Champion,

So it's official. No game.  

A lot of commissioners online are making judgement calls based on the difference.  In some places the winner is conceding it it was 100 percent absolutely no questions about it, they would have received a very small amount of points which would have given them the victory.

In this case, I don't think it's guaranteed in any stretch that you would have overcome the difference.  Therefore, it's reasonable to assume the game is over and move on.  You might have had an an argument if you were like Josh Allen left and 5 points behind.  I'm certainly not complaining about my matchup with Jamar Chase not finishing his game, and hey, we had the same record, same ultimate result.

I also think nobody really wants to win this way, regardless of how its handled

Simmer down, runner up

I mean come on is this really a controversy? I had the best record by far and most points scored anyway (including starting a benched Jameis Winston one week ). The rest of you are basically a bunch of amateurs compared to me. Thanks for a fun year and I hope we can keep this tradition going! 
 

We collected a total of $200 this season and I’m opting to donate the full amount to the Eagles related charity of my choice. I’m selecting the (Be)Philly Foundation which is Jason Kelce’s charity that supports the youth of Philadelphia. I’m selecting this one because… well Jason Kelce is awesome duh. But also because Dawkins20 loved his kids and children in general. He was a supportive father and true fan so I think he would approve of a donation to this charity in his name. Also if you haven’t, check out Jason’s Underdog apparel company which supports his foundation. The shirts are cool. We bought a bunch as Christmas gifts. https://underdogphl.com

(Be)Philly Foundation

 

Quote

Dear Philly,

At each critical moment of my life, there was someone who believed in me.

Whether my family, my friends, or my fellow Philadelphians, I have always felt an overwhelming love and support that has helped reach my dreams and potential on and off the field. Now it’s my turn.

Philadelphia is an incredible city, but we know it can be even better. We owe to ourselves to give the next generation the resources and opportunities they deserve. I firmly believe that every child has the potential to thrive, and the most important thing we can all do is simply to believe in them. But we won’t stop there.

As of October, 2022, I’m launching the (Be)Philly Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of our city’s youth. (Be)Philly will raise money through conventional fundraising as well as through the sale of merchandise from Underdog Apparel. To start out, we’ve partnered with three incredible organizations who have already impacted the lives of thousands of kids. But that’s just the beginning. 

In the coming months and years, (Be)Philly will identify and support the most innovative and impactful programs in the city. Meanwhile, we’ll create original media content to lead a conversation around what it will actually take to change our future. Ultimately, we aim to start a movement of people who are passionate about helping our city reach it’s true potential.

I’ve assembled a wonderful team of Philadelphians to bring this vision to life. I am forever grateful to my friends and teammates who have lent their time and attention to this cause. And thankful to any person who strives to leave this city better than they’ve found it.

Philadelphia has only one future, and it rest in the hands of our children. We owe it to them, and to ourselves, to invest in that future with all we’ve got. That’s exactly what we’re here to do.  Let’s do this, Philadelphia… together.

Sincerely,

Jason Kelce

 

Binky brings up a good point.  She CRUSHED it in total points.  And I was told that records don't mean anything so we should really just look at point totals as a better measuring stick.

 

1st	Schmoopie	1800.7
2nd	Mach	1774.34
3rd	B3	1759.98
4th	Hukd	1750.64
5th	Mat	1742.7
6th	BBE	1730.04
7th	CatLady23	1654.18
8th	paco	1631.68
9th	jsru	1558.26
10th	Redden	1553.4
11th	Bfit	1550.24
12th	mikemack	1473.92

 

Looks like @Agent23 benefited from random scheduling just to squeak into the playoffs.  A whopping 75.86 points separated his team from playoff position.  That's a point more than his overall total in his blowout loss in the championship game.

Also Agent23 - sorry it ended that way- I know it’s frustrating. Nice season everyone! Hopefully next year the season doesn’t end with someone's heart literally stopping on the field. I’m just happy that no matter what we knew our efforts were for a good cause!

I've been the biggest proponent for not allowing random scheduling to have so much influence on playoff outcomes. My regular season landed my 7th in points and if we all played against one another every week (11:1 vs H2H) I also finished with the 7th regular season record.

The lowest scoring team had a 2nd place and 3rd place scoring week in the regular season.

The highest scoring team had H2H wins in weeks where she was 9th, 11th, 8th, and 8th in scoring weeks during the regular season. Highest league score in Rd1 (while on BYE)

My 7th PF team had a 2nd, 1st, 1st, 3rd best scores during weeks in the regular season, and highest league score Rd2. 

3 of 17 weeks (means I'm counting the bogus championship with a cancelled NFL game) I had the top scoring lineup, which means I outright won the 18% of the league made up of 12 teams (8.3% player share). Binkys team had two regular season 1st place weeks and 1 playoff first place, so we tied each other there, and she also had one 2nd and one 3rd -- identical to me. Our "peak" performances were essentially the same, only she lucked out 4 of the weeks her team was ass by randomly matching up against teams who were more ass those weeks. Her PF would not have changed but her 12-2 could easily be a 8-4 or 9-5 season.

We will remember this season very well because of it, but agree that we got elevate this league a bit with charitable causes this season and that's what will ultimately stand out as most important.

Yep and you guys will probably always asterisk my championship   

Honestly my heart is still breaking over the loss of @Dawkins 20  If we can keep his memory alive by doing this and helping out a good cause in the process we can continue to honor his friendship and what brought all of us losers together - the Eagles and this stupid message board 🥹
